Our next adorable idea that Laura sent us is the perfect favor boxes that she designed, complete with an oh-so-cute belly band. Tucked inside were yummy truffles that the Larson crew, myself included, helped to make one Saturday afternoon along with a little note that said, "life is sweet." Ahhh, too cute for words!

Laura, the cute bride from today's featured wedding (who just happens to be my new sister-in-law!) has put together some easy, but super chic DIY projects that will definitely add that special something to your wedding style! The first, are the adorable custom cocktail flags that she crafted and placed on the bar for guests to take.

The details. That is what today's wedding was ALL about. Every little detail was not only thought out, it was designed and crafted by Brad or Laura. From perfect menus and place cards, to handcrafted truffles tucked inside DIY favor boxes, custom cocktail flags, even beer that Brad brewed for months before the wedding then bottled up and drove down to Charleston.
The AMAZING cakes were by Jim Smeal and the flowers...
Usually, when I feature a wedding...I get to chat all about it from an editor's perspective. Well, with today's affair, I was lucky enough to be a guest so I am able to give a little bit of a different perspective. The ceremony was beautiful, the photographs of the bridal party were ridiculously lovely, but it was the reception...oh the reception...that really stole my heart.
As you walked into the cotton dock at Boone Hall, you saw a really rustic old space totally and completely...
Everything about today's featured wedding was pure perfection. Since I was lucky enough to be a guest and just hang back to soak it all in, I saw the smallest details that Laura had put such TLC into, the most perfect touches, the most beautiful views of the day. Laura will be here a little later to share some DIY projects that she did but for now, I am still going nuts over her chic, but fun navy and yellow color palette...
I am obsessed! If there was ever a bridesmaid dress...
As I mentioned earlier, today we are featuring my brother-in-law's absolutely fabulous wedding that his ridiculously lovely wife Laura designed and crafted this past April. The wedding was held at the Boone Hall Plantation in Charleston, South Carolina and was a lesson in all things pretty. And for someone that eats, sleeps and breathes weddings...to be a guest at this one, was such a fun experience!
The color palette...
I have been SO ridiculously excited about today's feature for MONTHS now. My brother-in-law, Brad, and my now sister-in-law, Laura, tied the knot in the most gorgeous wedding down in Charleston, SC this past April and when I tell you that it was incredible, I am hardly doing this wedding justice.
Laura is the queen of all things DIY, with a sense of style that you are going to love...and she literally crafted her entire wedding from the bottom up! And lucky, lucky us! Laura is...

I thought it was time for a couple of really fun engagement photo sessions! The first was shot by the forever talented Jessica Quadra for a ridiculously cute couple that wanted a sweet but lovely picinic shoot!

I mentioned in our last post that the reception from today's affair was beautiful...but I am just not sure that the word beautiful does it justice. It's spectacular, truly and utterly spectacular!
From Evonne, the incredible designer behind the affair...Michelle selected some of my favorite wedding colors - blush, peach and burgundy. She wanted the wedding to look romantic, and her style was simple yet elegant. To...
The FABULOUS (and by fabulous, I really mean holy-cow-so-so-so-talented) Evonne of Events by Evonne sent us today's second featured affair. And, it's all about the beauty. The seriously spectacular seaside beauty!
From Evonne...Michelle wanted to display their travel photos in an unconventional way. So she decided to use clothes pins to hang the photos and...
If today's earlier affair was all about simple elegance...this next one is all about the luxury. Styled by hands-down one of my favorite designers, Events by Evonne, the wedding was held this past April at the Sugarman Estate, Maui, Hawaii. Oh and the bride was a frequent SMP reader (who actually found Evonne through our Little Black Book!) so she found lots of...
There is a lot to love about today's featured affair. It's sweet simplicity. It's utter charm. It's approachable, effortless style. But most of all, I am totally smitten with the laid back elegance of the day. The umbrellas plopped inside a rain bucket, friends and family helping with the flowers, the picnic table and chair set up for guests. It's all just so lovely!
Oh and I am completely and madly in love with the flowers...the perfect pink flowers tucked inside milk glass...

Thank you so very much to Stephanie and Nathan for letting us share in the celebration. I kind of wish you guys were getting married many times over so that I could share your perfect style with our readers time and time again! And, to Jennifer at Alders Photography...loving you so SO much!
And for all of you...the fun is just beginning! That is a little cheesy, but it's so true. We are doing our first...
We are featuring one of those weddings that just makes you happy. The clean, airy color palette, the sweet but sophisticated details, the effortless style...every little bit of it is what I envision SMP to be. So, when Jennifer at Alders Photography sent it to me, I just knew that I had to share it with you all!
Like Jennifer, the fabulous photographer, shared...
