Today's wedding is magic. There really is no other way to say it. It's positively beautiful, filled with charming DIY touches that would make any bride swoon, a style that is as elegant as it is real, a bride and groom that are literally glowing. Photographed by the forever talented Meg Baisden, this wedding is one that you will fall completely and madly in love with...

I though that this crazy fashion shoot captured by Josh over at Bella Grace was just the thing to get us all smiling and wedding happy. The fashion photoshoot was done for Andrea Glass's newest creations...including that insanely fun head-piece. The flowers were done by Boston's Floral Couture.

A HUGE thank you to Carrie and Charlie on designing a wedding that was as gorgeous as it was meaningful. We are so lucky to have you as a part of our team, Carrie, and hopefully, this feature brought a smile to your face on your birthday!

I love everything about today's featured wedding. It's chic without being overly designed, it's traditional without being stuffy and contemporary without being edgy. It's perfect in my book AND it just happens to be my SMP research associate's wedding which makes it even more special!

If you are just now joining us, you are going to be SO happy. I am featuring one of our favorite SMP research associate's GOOOOOORGEOUS Charleston wedding today, filled with the most stunning details you've ever seen.

I am SO stinking excited to feature today's wedding. First of all, it's gorgeous. Ridiculously, unbelievably gorgeous. Second of all, it's the wedding of one of our very own SMP girls, Carrie, who is an absolute doll through and through. And lastly, it just happens to be Carrie's birthday, so we are doing the feature as a bit of a surprise birthday gift to her.
With that said, it was one of the easiest weddings in the world to feature because it is so, SO lovely.

I totally failed to deliver on the inspiration boards yesterday. I mentioned that we'd be featuring some of the boards that you guys designed for our contest, but I fell a little bit behind so instead, today is the day! I am going to highlight five of my favorite boards each day thru Friday. Then on Monday, I am going to feature all of them over on our new social network, the Style Circle. We'll choose a winner on Wednesday, August 12th.
Here is the first board that I have fallen in...
Anne and Bill Holland of Holland Photo Arts sent us today's featured wedding because they know we love all things pretty AND because the beautiful bride, Erin, "found" them thru our Little Black Book. We LOVE it when we hear that!

Thank you so much to everyone involved in today's featured wedding. To Alison Ulshoffer, the planner behind the day, for sharing the spectacular event with us and for inspiring us to no end. And to Penny Sylvia who captured the perfect photographs. But most of all...hats off to the bride and groom for designing a wedding was uniquely their own, filled with personality...
I knew you guys would fall hard for today's wedding. It's got a little something for everyone...perfect rustic details, elegant and sophisticated florals, a bride that is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. It's all of my loves pulled together into one, absolutely gorgeous affair.

We got the sweetest note from Melanie Mauer, one of our Little Black Book photographers in the Kentucky area. She said, "We have heard from so many brides and grooms that your blog has inspired them and provided them with ideas to incorporate into their wedding to make it personal and meaningful. We would hope that some of the wedding images we have captured would be a great addition to this source of...
What I love about this particular wedding...is the perfect combination of rustic elements paired next to totally elegant, refined details. The brides dress is perfection and completely chic while the woody signs, the camp-style vibe all blends beautifully together.

Today's first featured wedding is bliss. It's a Lake Tahoe wedding so that probably goes without saying...one part rustic, one part total elegance. The amazing Alison of Alison Ulshoffer Events & Design sent it to me, knowing that the details alone will make you guys squeal with delight!
