I loved this wedding the minute I laid eyes on it. Shot by the amazingly talented team at Fred Marcus Photography, the style is all about rustic, warm elegance. With some chic thrown in for good measure.

Karen Tran, the genius behind today's featured weddings, crafted the flowers for this seaside affair with a sense of sophisticated elegance...a look that was inspired by her surroundings, but not at all cliche or themed. I love that. The perfect orchids, the delicate shells, the neutral but forever beautiful color palette. Pure gorgeousness.
It's a little known fact that small, intimate destination affairs are actually a better...
Only three days left so don't forget to submit your entry into the Elum Invitation Giveaway where you can possibly win a full set of luxury letterpress invitations, reply cards and a coordinating reception card.

There is just something about a seaside wedding that makes me happy. Obviously. The perfect setting, the natural, unfussy color palette, the crisp, clean style. Well, when I saw what the fabulous Karen Tran did, with this beach inspired affair, I swooned!

Okay, on to the absolutely gorgeous wedding that the color palette from today's earlier post inspired. When I saw this wedding, I nearly fell out of my chair. It's rare to see a single color be featured in such a way that every detail comes alive. Where every little touch seems to have been born straight off the desk of a style editor.
Jina and Andy were...
Color. It's something that we talk about all the time on SMP. Determining your color palette is one of the first steps in creating a wedding that is uniquely you...a palette that compliments your venue, that defines your look, that allows you to design a wedding that reflects your own style and personality. photographs by the amazing Shawn Connell for Christian Oth When I saw this purple inspired affair, I just about fell...
Loving today's real wedding that Caroline Tran sent us. I have to admit, it was the balloon that really caught my eye, but it was the absolutely stunning photography and the elegant styling that kept me wanting more!
Love the succulents, the subtle but incredibly elegant palette, the incredible shot of the couple. There is something innately lovely about this affair. Loving every bit of it!

It's funny. Ever since I mentioned that I have a new, mild obsession with balloons, I've been getting tons of really gorgeous, whimsical shots of brides and their perfect balloons. I love it! And, I especially loved this wedding that Caroline Tran sent me...

I loved these pics that the talented KT Merry sent me from a wedding that she recently shot in Key Largo. The cute bride was obsessed with all things J Crew and with simple, perfect details. I just wanted to feature a little tidbit from the affair, as I thought the colors and the light, airy feeling was wonderfully SMP.
To me, this...
The fabulous Judy Tallant of the Tallant House in Seattle recently sent us a few pics of some pretty gorgeous cakes that are all about the bling. How can you NOT love a cake that is wearing accessories???

Every now and then, I have a REALLY hard time finding the right words to introduce a wedding. If you knew me, you'd laugh at the thought of me not having words, but it's true. There are just some weddings where the beauty is so innate, the details so special, the thoughtful design and loveliness are simply indescribable.
From Lisa at Oh How Charming (the voice behind this gorgeous day)...
As the wedding favor...
Whenever Lisa at Oh How Charming! sends me a wedding that she's designed...it quickly becomes an obsession. I'm not sure whether she was born with this ridiculous talent or she's honed it along the way but whatever the case, my girl crush on Lisa is getting a little bit crazy. And together with Jose Villa and Mindy Rice...
Okay, so you've seen the first sneak peek of today's featured affair. Well, lucky lucky us...Lisa Vorce is stopping by to share ALL of the details and the inspiration behind the beautiful day that Jose Villa shot.
