Before we get into all of the gorgeous details from today's featured wedding, here are a few special touches that the photographer, Jose Villa captured...
Lisa Vorce, the incredible designer behind the day, imagined a wedding that is as beautiful as they come. Worn, vintage church pews as seating for the ceremony, an organic, incredibly tactile altar, touches of...
What do you get when you put the ridiculously talented Lisa Vorce of Oh How Charming together with photographer Jose Villa, florist Mindy Rice and invitation designer Yellow Owl? Basically, me...jumping up and down, spirit sprinkles off the charts, praising the...
Cheyenne and Rebecca of Docuvitae had the honor of documenting Kim and Eric's very special wedding day at the insanely beautiful and historical Ralston White Retreat Center, nestled in the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais, just north of San Francisco in Mill Valley, CA.

Today is a good day on SMP. Probably the best we've had in a long time. Why, you might ask?
Well, the absolutely, positively lovely team at Elum is hosting their very first invitation giveaway! It's one of the biggest giveaways that we've ever had here on SMP and by one of our all time favorite invitation houses to boot. We've said it a million times, but...
Yesterday marked the first official day of the National Stationery Show. And, since I owe ALL of my wedding obsessions to the invitations line that I started four years ago, Abby Jean, I thought it was an appropriate day to give a shout out to the fabulous brand. For those of you that love timeless invitations with a hint of modern charm and sophistication, Abby Jean is your girl! And from one paper lover to another, good luck to all at...
Hope everyone had a great weekend! We had some technical difficulties on Friday so we didn't get a chance to announce the Hello! Lucky giveaway winner. So without further ado, the winner is...
Mary! Who said...
I absolutely love the Sparrows line from the Joel Dewberry collection. It’s beautiful and perfect for our garden ceremony! My fiance is in graduate school and I just had my hours cut back, so winning this would be a blessing words couldn’t describe. Best of...
Thank you so very much to Hans and Catherine for sharing their day with us. I think that I speak for the entire SMP family when I say that we are hugely inspired, not to mention thrilled to see a wedding where a theme was done with such understated elegance and style.
We wish you many, many years that are as beautiful and creative as your wedding day.
Here are a few more bits of eye candy from Hans and Catherine's GORGEOUS wedding....
We have more on the way! Back in a...
On to the Hans and Catherine's incredible reception. I love it when a couple infuses their day with personality and charm and they did just that...and so much more.
Here are a few notes from Hans about the day...
We had a piano player and typewriter theme. The actual invites were old player piano rolls, with added maps, menu, directions, and rsvp postcards. The tables were dressed with a typewriter on one end of the table, with a player piano roll fed through...
We have TONS of stunning pictures from Hans and Catherine's gorgeous wedding for you today...including the most fabulous typewriter themed styling you've ever seen. The couple is ridiculously lovely and Catherine's short, flirty dress is absolute perfection.
So, so, so much more on the...
We are featuring the BEST wedding today. There really are no words as to how much I love this wedding...with the world's cutest couple and a fun, vintage style, it's total perfection. But, before we being, I wanted to show you the equally fabulous engagement session that the couple did...
Hans and Catherine drove an old, vintage piano out to the country. They then spray painted it the most gorgeous teal blue color to give it that extra pop. How great is that? Creativity and...
I met Robin years ago when we were both launching our line of wedding invitations at the National Stationery Show. Robin Beth is lovely in every respect of the word and when she emailed me her new collection that is to be debuted at this year's show, I swelled with pride.
Robin's invitations are PURE luxury...with each piece being completely handmade...
If the first wedding we featured today was the prettiest wedding I have ever seen, this is a close second. But, in a totally different way. I spotted this wedding on Simply Bloom Photography and have stalked them for the last two days so that we could feature it on SMP. It's just that good.
Sara and Jay were married in Cool Springs, Tennessee, just a few miles away from my college stomping grounds. Take it from...
When one of the editors over at the fabulous Veranda magazine emailed me about a wedding that they were featuring, I nearly fell off my chair. This just might be the most spectacularly chic affair that I have ever seen, let alone featured on SMP. The bride, interior designer and stylist Kelly d'Halluin is beyond fabulous and honestly, words can't say just how obsessed with this wedding I really am...
The wedding was held at...
Hold the presses ladies. Seriously. Stop everything you are doing and head on over to One Kings Lane to check out the 72 hour Vera Wang for Wedgewood sale that is happening with discounts of up to 70%. Yep, you read that right. One Kings Lane is an awesome new site that offers short sales on only the best brands...like Vera Wang china and Serena + Lily bedding. It's by invite only (you must join to get the discount), so take this...
We received today's featured wedding from one of Abby's favorite letterpress invitation designer's in our Little Black Book, Bella Figura. Their work is unbelievably beautiful and they pride themselves on their environmentally friendly processes. Cynthia sent us images from Ashley and Christian's November wedding last fall for which they designed the gorgeous letterpress invitations ...
From Cynthia ...
One of the best things about today's featured wedding is that from the elegance and refinement of the ceremony, the couple REALLY had fun with the reception, infusing their personality into every detail.
From the fabulous candy bar, to the cigar station...every detail is thoughtfully designed and executed. And yet the entire affair is forever elegant, forever chic. Personality without sacrificing style.

I knew you guys were going to love this wedding...it's nice to see something so refined, so elegant and yet so incredibly approachable. Stuffy weddings are the worst, but it's great to see a wedding that approaches a sophisticated, romantic style with the same lovely charm as some of our less traditional affairs.
Alders Photography is the talent behind these gorgeous images and like many of the photographers that we...
We are all about elegant affairs today on SMP. Classic, traditional styles with a whisper of chic sophistication. The kind of wedding where guests fall in love all over again, where brides look perfect in their white dresses, where flowers are lush and gorgeous and the whole day just seems to sparkle.
This wedding, shot by the wonderfully talented Jenny Smith of Alders Photography, took place this past May at the...
Today's post is an out-and-out-plug for all of our Little Black Book Wedding Planners!
