I knew you guys would LOVE this wedding shoot. Captured by the oh-so-fabulous Lisa Lefkowitz and styled by the forever talented Gloria Wong, this wedding is total dreaminess. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, every element was perfectly executed. It's hard not to wish you were standing right in the middle of it, spinning around, soaking up every last bit of it.

I have to admit, looking at weddings day in and day out is both a curse and a blessing. My bar for what is fabulous has been raised considerably and I've become a bit of a wedding snob. Well, a total wedding snob if I'm being honest. I love all different styles of weddings...$5,000 backyard affairs and $50,000 uber-chic soirees...as long as the details are spot on beautiful.
And it seriously doesn't get any better than this wedding shoot that the hugely talented...
I really have no words for today's first wedding feature. It's the definition of all things pretty. The definition of perfection. We saw a little sneaky peek of it when we featured the amazing vignette by Andrew Hsu (which was a huge hit) but now we have the photographs that the incredibly talented Lisa Lefkowitz shot. The shoot was for Brides Northern California and you'll be able...
Over the past 6 months or so, we've been working SO hard on designing a completely awesome, completely pretty social network made exclusively for SMP brides, vendors and wedding junkies. There were days when I literally thought it would never be done, that it would never get to the point where I could give it the SMP seal of approval.
BUT, that day has come! I am thrilled to tell you that we are just about ready to launch the Style Circle...a chic, style savvy network for the...
Abby always teases me because I seem to have a 'thing' for our Connecticut LBB photographers ... what can I say? They're great and they send us great stuff!
Not too long ago, Amanda at Orchard Cove Photography sent us two of her June weddings and Abby has already featured one of them...
One of our readers, Rachel, sent me THE cutest pictures of her handkerchief save the dates and I had to share. Especially since it goes with our shabby chic theme for the day. Here's how she did it! I'd previously seen handkerchiefs and other bits of fabric printed on and really liked the idea of texture. I also wanted to create a keepsake. I ended up scouring ebay for about a month, collecting vintage handkerchiefs. In the meantime, I created a vintage-y layout using our silhouetted...
Love, love, love today's real wedding. There is something so sweet, so utterly charming about this little soiree. Perfect details, a beautiful venue (the groom's parents' house...lucky!) and a style that is all together gorgeous. I am so glad that the bride's cute best friend emailed us!

This wedding makes me really happy. First of all, the bride's best friend sent it to us because she knows how much the bride loves SMP. Cute. Second, it is SO ME. I swear, I could pick up some of these decorations and plop them in my house. It's a little shabby chic, totally elegant, with details that will make any girl swoon.
Oh and a quick little note about the bridesmaids dresses...they were found at Twirl Boutique in...
We featured McKenzie and Todd's wedding earlier today and seem to have sparked off a bit of a controversy that we'd like to lay to rest!
McKenzie and Todd wanted a small intimate wedding and they had a budget of $20,000. {We're not saying they had a low budget wedding. We're saying they had a budget of $20,000.) They approached First Coast Weddings and Events to help them orchestrate...
Okay! On to the wedding...the ridiculously beautiful wedding. For those of you that wonder how I choose weddings to feature on SMP, this is a great example. I love to see brides crafting inspiration boards that ultimately reflect the wedding that they design. I love perfect details more than anything else. I love a sense of personality and style and I love to see a bride and groom that are head over heels for each other.
This one is all that...and so much more.

We have a really cute morning feature for you that has me smiling from ear to ear. Jenn, the bride in today's first real wedding fell in love with SMP while planning her day and as a gift to her, Jenn's best friend has asked us to do a full feature on it. When I saw how absolutely gorgeous the wedding was, it was a no brainer!
Before we get to the wedding itself, I thought that I would share one of the inspiration boards that she crafted!
An intimate, shabby chic style...

Brooke and Chris were married at the absolutely beautiful St. Mary's Cathedral Basilica in Cincinnati, Ohio. Their stunning wedding day was captured by Kortnee and Ted of Kortnee Kate Photography. Take a look!
What a magnificent church!

Right when I started my blog, my girlfriend Jill sent me pictures from her girlfriend's recent wedding. The couple had rented out an island to host their affair (seriously) and the bride, in a HUGE/PERFECT/COMPLETELY AMAZING ballgown was brought up to the dock by a canoe, where her groom waited patiently in his tux. It was beyond perfect, beyond gorgeous.
And ever since I laid eyes on that wedding, I've had this thing for fancy, formal affairs on the beach. A tuxedo. A...

If you are just now popping in, we are featuring the photographs from Friday's incredible Elysium video. The wedding was complete bliss and to see it unfold on camera was such an awesome treat. But the photographs...oh the photographs. They tell the story to perfection and I am so thrilled that...
We are showcasing a GORGEOUS Anguilla wedding today...one that will make you so jealous you aren't soaking up the rays on this amazing island, you'll hardly be able to stand it! Photographed by the amazing husband and wife team, Matt and Enna, at Grazier Photography...this wedding is all beauty.
The wedding actually took place on Sunday after a weekend filled with fun...
I hope everyone had a great weekend! We actually scored a few beautiful days in Boston so we took the bubs to the pool, hung out in my in-laws' backyard, did real Summer things. It was perfect.
So, on to wedding things. Remember the AMAZING video that Elysium shared with us on Friday? For those of you that...
We originally posted Carey and John's wedding slideshow on Saturday, because we thought it was a great reminder about how sweet, peaceful and joyful weddings can be! Their great photographer, Eric Laurits had set the images to music on his blog, and gave us permission to play the slideshow over here on Style Me Pretty's Little Black Book Blog post.
But now that it's Monday again, back to the hustle...
