After that last real wedding, did you happen to venture over to Sarah K. Chen's website? Ummmm...if you didn't, this is what you are missing...
Holy gorgeousness!! Have you ever seen anything quite so pretty? People laugh at me because I seem to love every wedding with all of my heart, completing each sentences with more exclamation marks than should be legally allowed. But this one, man oh man. It's pretty awesome. The pair...
I am all girl. If my husband would let me get away with painting every room in our house pink, I'd be at home depot faster than you can say "eeeek." So, when I saw this pink, pink, oh-so-pink wedding that the lovely Sarah K. Chen photographed, well...I swooned.
I mean come on! Does it get any better? The candy buffet alone is enough to make me jump for joy, but then they went and added fabulous florals, chic place settings...
I am just putting the finishing touches on a pretty, pretty in pink affair that the fabulous Sarah K. Chen just sent me (and by "just" I mean an hour ago). It's one of those fabulously girly affairs that will go perfectly with today's pretty, pretty wedding love!

I am sure that you guys know about my longtime obsession with all things Bluefly. If you look back through our color palettes and...
Yellow reminds me of Summer. Obviously. It's one of those colors that just makes me happy...that makes me want to break out the lemonade and have all of our friends over for a great outdoor affair. Well, that is just what the team at Sillapere did for this ridiculously lovely Summer inspired wedding...
Based in the Bay Area, Nicole Sillapere is one of those florist whose...
Nancy Liu Chin and Lisa Lefkowitz are hands-down two of the Bay Area's most talented vendors. So, when they partner up and send me a wedding that they got their hands on, I just KNOW it's going to be good. This one, is no exception!
And although I don't have a ton of the details, I do know this. I am completely obsessed with the chic, laid back elegance. The charm...
It's finally that time...the time to announce the lucky winner of 10 sets of letterpress thank you notes designed and printed by the fabulousness that is Smock. But, before we announce the name, I wanted to share a little tid bit about Smock that I think is pretty great.
I know that a lot of you who left comments had fallen in love with a particular design...and yet, it didn't...
I am completely and totally smitten with this rehearsal dinner that Jose Villa sent me and that Allison Hotchkiss of Alison Events designed to perfection. Plus, they have been sweet enough to divulge all of the pretty details just for us, which makes it even better. I would KILL to see a wedding inspired by this rehearsal...the same cool, but not too cool, chic but not too...
It's fair to say that when Jose Villa teams up with the fabulous Alison Hotchkiss, the result is going to be, well...completely fabulous. So, when Jose sent me this rehearsal dinner that the pair worked on together at the Parker Palm Springs, I seriously couldn't wipe the grin off my face. It's just so chic, so simple and yet so gorgeous. Love, love, love.
And...
We have been all about the chic, modern loft wedding that Laura and Eric threw this past winter in New York. It's one of those weddings that just makes you giddy. From the perfect decor to the stunning couple, it's as if this night was destined to be beautiful.
And like many celebrations, there is a life, a story behind the beauty. Here are some last details and a touching note from Laura, the gorgeous bride...
Due to my aforementioned obsessive planning trait, I would...
I heart today's real wedding. It's a really lovely distraction from the outdoor weddings that we feature (and I love outdoor affairs in a BIG way). There is just something so utterly romantic about getting married in a crisp, white loft that has been decked out with candles, whites and an intimate collection of friends and family.
And yet, just when you think that it's all about the style, all about the chic...there is that bit of handmade charm that EVERY wedding needs to feel...
Although the venue, the flowers, the amazingly gorgeous white color palette from today's affair are ALL incredible, it's really the personal approach that the couple took to their day that makes me really, really happy. Since I can't say it any better than the bride, I'll just pass the torch!
We did (almost) nothing that was traditional. We served champagne before the ceremony because...well, who wouldn't want that? We were married by a friend of ours that was ordained for the...
Today, we are featuring one of those weddings that everyone can love. Although not all brides swoon at the site of a fabulous loft affair, as I do, I think that it's fair to say that all brides swoon at the site of gorgeousness...in every shape and size!

The 'mood' of our wedding was inspired by our venue: silver and crystal...
When I was planning my own wedding, I had this fantasy of hosting an all white soiree in some swanky loft in NY. Clearly, that didn't pan out. But for some reason, whenever I see a really well done loft affair, I still get all giddy inside.
Today's wedding, sent to us by the adorable bride and groom, was all about the chic. Sophisticated, elegant and yet fabulously New York chic. Plus, it was designed by one of our favorite...
Today's featured Little Black Book photographers, Britney Gardner and Joe Rumore shoot weddings from coast to coast! This one ~ just happened to be in New York City on an unseasonably warm spring day. However, the bride, Melane, didn't mind the heat one bit ... she's a Texas girl at heart!
She and Ryan asked 30 of their closest friends and family to fly to New York with them to celebrate their...

I love it when really great paper companies offer to do a giveaway on SMP. It makes my job so much more fun, knowing that one of you lucky readers is going to get something that I adore so very much.

And, lucky for us, they just launched three new...
