I am always full of words. Always. And usually I sound a bit like a 16 year old girl gushing over her latest crush. People make fun of me all of the time for it and I can totally see why.
But today, I am ALL gush. I am trying very hard to restrain myself from saying every 16 year old phrase that pops into my head because this wedding turns me into butterflies and total mush. I love it. I love the simple, restrained style. The vintage, worn-down luxury. The effortless elegance. I...
Every time Aaron Delesie sends me a wedding, I know that it's going to be good. Aside from being a genius photographer, he also has a really good eye for style and design. And he knows exactly the kind of wedding that I am going to fall madly in love with...simple, organic elegance, perfect details, a timeless and yet fresh perspective. And this wedding, is just that. And SO much more.
More from the lovely, lovely...

A couple weeks ago we held another fab giveaway from our friend and wedding registry mecca, Crate and Barrel and today we're happy to announce the winner. The lucky reader will receive 6, yep, 6 sets of the fabulous Couture Flatware. So jealous. These are really the greatest everyday flatware.
So...today's lucky bride is...
I think I say this every time I feature a purple wedding...but normally, on any given day, I am not a huge fan of purple. It's a lovely color, especially when it comes to really lush flowers, it's just that all through junior high and high school, my best friend bought everything purple in sight. So she kind of ruined it for me. But! This wedding just might convert me. The purple palette is STUNNING and the details, that were largely DIY, are perfection.
Held at the...
I pretty much never feature black and white wedding photography on Style Me Pretty. And, it's not because I don't love it. In fact, the walls of my house are covered in black and white shots from my own wedding and my cute little daughter Audrey. It's mainly because we focus so much on details, that I usually like to put full color images up that really pop. But these, that Justine Ungaro shot of today's couple, were just too...
Before we dive into all of the wedding goodness that we have planned for you today, I wanted to take a quick moment to thank everyone at NEAWP...the Austin wedding organization that hosted me for yesterday's conference.

Okay! On to our first featured wedding. It's been a while since we featured a Justine Ungaro wedding, so I am thrilled...

I'm still completely in awe of Jessica Claire's wedding Abby featured last week so I couldn't resist sharing this inspiration board created by Colette on the Style Circle. I think the best part about this board is how she used...
Today we've been featuring a charming, diy, vintage-inspired affair. Sent to us by Blooms by Martha Andrews, this wedding is just darling. The bride is a graphic designer, so she crafted picture-perfect details to match the playful energy of the day. In addition to the save-the-dates...
Sent to us by floral artisan Martha Andrews, this wedding is another perfect example of the how color can add such personality and character to your day. I love the vibrant greens and blues mixed with with the rich browns (I'm going to make you wait to see the amazing chocolate cake until a little later). This wedding is a playful mix of color and sophisticated touches... it's completely charming.
Not only is...
Abby is in Texas this week, so I have the pleasure of bringing you today's wedding, an eclectic, diy event full of fabulous details. Brought to us by the always amazing Blooms by Martha Andrews, this wedding is a colorful nod to 1940's vintage style. Plus, the bride is a graphic designer, sooo we get the extra treat of some really fabulous invitations, programs, and stationery. Just look at the inside of the envelope...
