Abby is traveling home from Brad & Laura's wedding today and has left the SMP and the LBB blogs in my capable hands (yikes)! No pressure...
And so, since I tend to rely heavily upon our Little Black Book members for inspiration, I turned to Justin & Mary Marantz for a New...
It's a wrap on our trip to Charleston for my brother-in-law's wedding and I have to say, I am completely in love. I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Calder Clark Designs (amazing, by the way) for hosting us, the adorable photographer Kelli Nixon and her hubby Bill for letting us have a few sneak peeks of the...

Being detail-oriented is what life ... and love is all about!
Just a bit about "details" from Mary Marantz ...
It's what makes it unique. Makes it different. Makes it them. It's the thoughtful cards for no apparent reason, the time...
There is something so romantic, so magical about a reception at night. The twinkle lights, the candles, the glow...it's just so beautiful. Today's wedding truly sparkled as the sun went down...

We chose the clear top tents to let the live oak trees and stars provide the backdrop. From there – we studded the...
I really love the details behind today's affair. The bride and groom, along with the fabulous Blue Moon Events, put together such a thoughtful, gorgeous day and one that I know really resonates with a lot of you. It's that perfect combination of an organic, garden inspired affair paired with a traditionally elegant style.
all photographs (which are gorgeous by the way) by...

The wedding planning pretty much began on our drive back from Asheville.
I heart these cashmere wraps by White and Warren. With the elegant, completely feminine ruffles, it's the PERFECT compliment to a wedding gown. A little bit fancy, a little bit organic and simple, I am totally in love. White and Warren has lots of cute options but this is by far my...
Today is a day that I have been looking forward to for SO long. My amazing brother-in-law and my adorable soon-to-be sister-in-law are tying the knot this weekend in Charleston, South Carolina and the entire Larson crew is here to celebrate. It's my first time in Charleston and oh my goodness, I am in heaven.
So in honor of this fun occasion, I've asked one of my all time favorite Charleston based vendors, Calder Clark Design...
We know that everyone is looking for something new ... something just a tad bit different from the norm. Right?
We LOVE it when we can show you something that ... we'd be willing to bet .... no one else has done! Do we have your attention yet?
Sharrone Calafiore is a film-maker with pizzaz! Lots of edgy ideas and tons of fresh films in her collection. Today's "Save The Date" is just one of her...
Karen Wise is a frequent contributor to Style Me Pretty. Something about her pure approach to each wedding, as if she is photographing each wedding with a completely clean slate, just speaks to us. Plus, she always scores the prettiest weddings, so we can't help but love her!!
And thank you so much to Carmelita and Dan for sharing their day with us. Carmelita was sweet enough to share all of her wonderful details and it's clear...
If you are just now joining us, we are featuring the absolutely fabulous wedding of Carmelita and Dan...which took place in New York City at Studio 540. Karen Wise shot the affair and did a beautiful job telling the story of the day.

Baked created a combination of a mini-cake for the cake cutting and cupcakes for our guests. We chose Baked because...
I love the white palette of this wedding. The pops of bright pink are stunning against the simple, clean background. They bring warmth without taking away from the contemporary raw style of the building.
And as the party began, the glow and intimacy added even more style to the gorgeous affair....
I told you that Karen Wise was genius. Wait until you see the...
Abby put the SMP spotlight on Little Black Book photographer, Gia Canali, a couple of days ago when she showed you Jessie and Matt's fantastic wedding. There are seven posts all together, and so many great photos ... so if you didn't see it ~ start...
The bridal party from today's affair is nothing but elegant. Perfect for the stark white backdrop of Studio 450 and for the simple, modern (but incredibly lush) wedding style...
From Carmelita...The dress code was “fabulous.” For the wedding party, the best man wore a black suit and each of the bridesmaids (and groomswoman) picked out her own black dress.

A bit more eye candy from today's ceremony, shot by the unbelievably talented Karen Wise...and while you're devouring these, can we all just take a moment to pay our respects to the GORGEOUS flowers that the girls are carrying!
The florist, Michael Davis of Elan Flowers, created lush, low centerpieces of orchids, callas, peonies, and spray roses. For the bouquets, the...
Now we want to show you a few of the specifics about Justine and Robert's wedding at Nestldown in Los Gatos California from Little Black Book photographer, Gia Canali.
Justine & Robert really wanted an outdoor wedding, but opted to move inside for the reception since it's a little chilly in northern California in October.
When I first saw this wedding, it was the ceremony that honestly took my breath away. Something about the simplicity of the style, the perfect silhouette of the bride's gown, the joy that is radiating from everyone. It's just pure beauty.
From Carmelita...
It was important to us to represent our cultures (Jewish and Filipino/Irish) in a non-denominational ceremony. Daniel’s father created our chuppah from green bamboo and my mother sewed the fabric for the canopy.
So many of our Little Black Book members have blogs of their own, and some of them are downright fantastic. Case in point ... Gia Canali's "Pursuing The Picture Perfect Wedding." Everytime I see a new post of hers, I keep thinking, wow she writes so well! And I started...
