I know that all of you girls who are sick to death of rustic weddings are LOVING this. I for one thing it's fabulous and the bold color palette is pretty great. But really, it's the orange favors that are making me completely giddy. They are total perfection! This wedding was designed by our incredible Little Black Book members, Your BASH!

This isn't the typical SMP wedding. It's a little bit of a departure from our normal style but there is something so fabulous about this affair, I just couldn't help myself! Designed by the RIDICULOUSLY talented team at Your BASH!, this wedding is cool, sophisticated and utterly chic.

I heart this e-session, from Rachel at Millie Holloman Photography, in a BIG way. Actually, this shoot kind of makes me want to be best friend with this adorable couple...they look like a pair that is all about the fun, all about the cuteness.
If you guys haven't already spent time on Millie's site...you are going to DIE. It is filled to the brim with...
We have a few updates on our Style Circle that you guys should definitely know about! First, we've added a Flickr upload feature so that you can use your own photos to build out gorgeous inspiration boards. Soon, we'll be adding a tool that allows you to upload directly to the Style Circle, but for now, this was the simplest solution.
Amber Gustafson is the designer behind one of my all time favorite Budget Friendly weddings that we've featured on SMP. She is known for her completely unique, personality driven approach to weddings and this one is no different. It's rustic charm with elements of Eastern influence that celebrate the brides upbringing in a Hindu Community.
If you're just now jumping on to the SMP train...lucky, lucky you! We are completely devouring the most gorgeous wedding that Amber Events sent us, with elements that are a little bit rustic, a little bit Eastern...a lot pretty!

But this rustic beauty was just too gorgeous to pass up. Planned by the fabulous Amber Gustafson of Amber Events in record time, this wedding is all about the lovely!

Today's wedding is really unique. It's the rustic chic style that we love and yet it's been infused with Eastern elements that celebrate the bride's Buddhist upbringing. It's a combination that I haven't ever seen and I have to say...it's completely lovely, completely elegant.
The wedding was designed by the amazingly talented bride, with the help of Amber Gustafson of Amber Events (fabulous by the way). It was photographed...
Daria and Andy Bishop are two of our FAVORITE Little Black Book husband & wife teams! Their enthusiasm and dynamic passion for what they do is crystal clear from the get-go! Put them at Shelburne Farms in Vermont at a dazzling Hindu wedding celebration and ... yikes! You've got glorious colors of every...
Here are a few more pics from the AMAZING Millie Holloman, all designed by the equally fabulous team at Salt Harbor Designs...
I aa so in love with the color palette...the bluish gray paired with the yellow. It's such a modern approach to a rustic, chic design. It's that juxtaposition in design that makes me really, really...
We are MADLY in love with the work that Salt Harbor Designs and Millie Holloman put out there. Remember these brilliant table settings that we featured from them a while back? Well, this one...it's the best of the lot. In a word, it's perfection. Total and complete perfection.
Thank you so very much to John and Nikki, of the FABULOUS Spruce Floral, for letting us showcase their wonderful wedding on SMP. It's backyard chic to perfection.
Because of Nikki’s design background we were now fortunate enough to have friends that were professional photographers. In fact, there were no less than five in attendance – one being an old friend who, at the age of 72, had been a photographer for 50 years.
There is something so incredibly charming about this wedding. It might be the fact that the couple did everything themselves or the fact that it was held it in the groom's (John) aunt's backyard. Whatever it is, I am completely smitten.
John is actually one of the founders of the incredible floral studio, Spruce, here in Boston. They did my own wedding so I have had a love affair with all things Spruce for a long time. I am...
Last week, we featured the BEAUTIFUL wedding of Sarah Matteson, designer behind the beautiful Boston floral studio, Spruce. Well, this week...her business partner, John, is sharing his own gorgeous backyard nuptials that the pair designed with the same TLC, the same attention to perfect...
Choosing your wedding photographer is HUGE. You don't want to just capture the moments, you want to capture the mood. You want to have something to hang onto after all is said and done, to relive the memories over and over again. But choosing your wedding photographer is like buying your first piece of REAL art to hang in your home. Each photographer has his or her own unique style of painting the picture, capturing the light, telling the story. Choosing THE photographer for YOU is huge.
I love it when Beth Helmstetter sends me things. She is such a talent when it comes to picture perfect details, thoughtfully designed spaces and absolutely beautiful events. This is actually a rehearsal dinner that was inspired by the gorgeousness of a winery that would be just as beautiful for a wedding design!

The bride in this video just might be my hero. She is show-stoppingly gorgeous and WAY cooler than I'll ever be. If you love fashion and fun style, you'll really love this little number that the oh-so-talented Mike Eller of Monachetti Films sent us...

Love, love, love today's real wedding. I say that a lot...I know. BUT, I have the sheer pleasure of getting to pick the weddings that I put up on SMP, so it's pretty fair to say that I love them all. This one though, is especially great as it's filled with so much personality. So much style. It's hard not to be smitten!
