We asked Kate Benson, a sensational Little Black Book photographer based in Utah if we could feature Britney and Michael's wedding way back when we did a feature on wedding gowns. We...

Before I leave you for the weekend, I wanted to touch on just a couple of things. First, a quick reminder that I will be at the Commandant's House in Boston (Charlestown) this weekend for a luxury bridal show hosted by the fabulous Leana Gallagher. TONS of inspiration to be had as well as some pretty great industry pros. Click here to see all of the details!
And secondly, we have decided to give...
I wanted to share one more fabulous indoor affair that the oh-so-talented Erin Beach sent me. And this one, is all about the venue. By choosing a venue that was already rich in style and ambiance, they needed very little in the way of decor to make it fabulous. Just a few great centerpieces and a showstoppingly gorgeous flower arrangement, by none other than our Little Black Book's...
A HUGE thank you to Brian and Stella Alesi for sending us today's gorgeous wedding. It is proof that a wedding doesn't need to be overly elaborate or styled to be stunning!
A quick little note about Brian and Stella Alesi...I recently was attending an event in Nashville, Tennessee and one of the girls that was an avid SMP reader approached me to chat about her upcoming...
Today we are looking at the art of an indoor wedding...finding chic ways to really beautify a space. I love this wedding that Brian and Stella Alesi sent me for the absolutely lovely details. It's not over-the-top, it's not overly designed. It's simple and totally SMP...
Isn't the cake everything I said it would be! Loving it like crazy. There are so many lovely details from today's wedding...from the simple stone "place...

"DeeAnn and Eric pulled together a great Mexican-themed wedding, an event FULL of love, joy and happiness. To create the theme, they had a friend design a burning heart logo for them (wedding logos are great ideas) and then worked the entire theme of the wedding around the logo. They had a special piñata made in Mexico of their logo, used Mexican oil...
Today is all about chic, indoor affairs (for those of us that aren't lucky enough to live on the coast of California).The insanely talented Brian and Stella Alesi sent me this one and I fell in love with the simple, joyful style. It's a wedding that may not have been the most elaborate or the most luxuriously styled, but it's pure loveliness nonetheless...
The bride and groom are just radiating happiness which is oftentimes...
It should only take a second to guess that this was ONE very special wedding!
As with virtually ALL weddings, there is so much more to the story than meets the eye.
Sent to us by Little Black Book photographer Cameron Clark at Cameron + Kelly Studios, DeeAnn and Eric's wedding in Tucson immediately caught our eye! We think, it's...
I mentioned yesterday that we would be featuring more indoor weddings over the next few weeks here on SMP. Although I looooove the simple beauty of an outdoor affair, it's often not hugely practical for brides in say, Texas or Ohio or well, most of the cities out there! So, I thought we could start sprinkling in a few really lovely affairs where the ceremony and/or the reception are safe and sound inside a fabulous indoor space!
This one was sent to me by the fabulous...
Loving the ready to wear collection that Monique Lhuillier debuted with her Spring 2009 collection. I am an obvious admirer of all things Monique, but this season in particular just makes me happy. From the flirty yellow cocktail dresses to the stunning evening gowns, every piece is absolutely beautiful. My favorite just...
I first fell in love with the genius that is A Day in May Design when I lived in San Francisco years ago. There is just something so refreshing in the simplicity of their designs and the quality of the letterpress. Every piece seems like a little work of art, something that you could frame and hang among your favorite photographs.
So, when they emailed me the details from their latest invitation line, I obviously...swooned.With 11...
Sonia Davis is going to be big, really big. Mark my words. Her designs are so thoughtful, so wonderfully elegant with touches of whimsy and pure joy... a style that will make you fall instantly in love. Sonia is new to our Little Black Book and we are SO thrilled to show off her gorgeous collection!
I looove the turquoise and red palette...
I am so in love with the work that Sonia Davis sent me....with it's clean, fuss free designs and whimsical, utterly perfect details!
This is perhaps my favorite design. With the soft, elegant color palette paired against the chic, vintage design work. And, the adorable little bird just ties everything together so beautifully.
Each design that Sonia crafts is...
I looooove today's wedding centerpiece idea that the fabulous Kelly McWilliams of Weddings by Socialites designed for us. It's so elegant and yet so totally approachable. Plus, you can really make it your own by choosing flower vessels that you love and grouping them in little clusters among tables... all images by Impressions Photography Whether you want...
Today, we are featuring the brand spanking new designs by Wiley Valentine. The girls had such a great response to the custom work that we featured last month, they decided to create a select group of similar, ready made designs. And the result is all fabulous. This next suite incorporates a really popular yellow and charcoal color scheme and is all about a chic, totally fun style...
So happy the girls at...
This next set, by the girls at Wiley Valentine, is all about that perfect rustic charm that we love to feature on SMP...a combination of horse shoes, florals and vintage swirls...
The pinks, the delicate balance of vintage inspired typefaces with the feminine floral detailing and victorian swirls is pure gorgeousness. Love. Love. Love.
This set just reminds me of our shabby chic inspiration board contest...it...
I am kind of obsessed with Wiley Valentine these days, so when they sent me their newest designs, I jumped ship on what I was writing about to show you guys these gorgeous invitations. The designs were crafted in response the overwhelming number of brides that were interested in ordering these monogrammed invitations. Since...
Loving this simple, organic diamond ring that the designers at Blue Poppy crafted. It's 14k gold vermeil and the best part...Blue Poppy guarantees that they only choose diamonds that are mined, cut and polished with socially and environmentally responsible practices. So, it's a cool $120 investment that you can feel really good about.
Little Black Book wedding consultant, Stephanie Lairson sent us Victoria and Matthew's SO fun, Rock n' Roll wedding, and we just had to share! It's a classic example of knowing what you want, conveying the message and ... voilá!
