I mentioned earlier today that one of my new favorite designer/bloggers is the fabulous Mimi Woo of the invitation line Mika78. She brings her incredible sense of style and sophistication to absolutely everything that she does...from her line of paper goods and wedding details to her amazing blog.
Her ideas are so fresh, so unbelievably innovative, with the perfect...
Here are a few more absolutely gorgeous photos from the fashion shoot that Shelly Kroeger Photography and Gabriella New York Bridal Salon recently held...
Ahhh...it's just like a movie. Romance realized. I am totally and completely in love with these images and the fashions that they are showing off.
Isn't this spread SO paris? It's dreamy...
Carlie & Tom were married in March 2009 in the historic Texas town of Fredericksburg ... right down the road from Luckenbach (as in "Waylon & Willie and the boys ..."). Though their original wedding plans had to be postponed until after Tom's deployment to Iraq, the end result was one of true joy and love that friends and family enjoyed immensely!
Carlie and the fantastic ladies at...
I just got these incredible fashion shots in my inbox and literally jumped for joy when I saw them. The amazing team over at Shelly Kroeger Photography shot the fashion story about a week ago for Gabriella's Bridal Salon in Manhattan. The amazing Nam Vo did all of the make-up and beauty styling and the look is pure...
Remember this ridiculously great e-session that we featured from Erin Heart's Court a couple of weeks ago? Well, the adorable pair recently tied the knot and the AMAZING wedding is enough to make me throw my hands up in the air into full on spirit sprinkles!
I am honestly not sure it gets any better than...
Tom & Carlie met in classic Texas-style ... deep in the heart of Austin's 6th Street. The chemistry was instant, but the logistics of being together ~ not so much.
Tom was in the U.S. Army, stationed at Fort Hood. Carlie was finishing up her Civil Engineering Master's degree. And as so often happens, their future together was put on hold several times in the next few years. After a year long tour in Iraq, Tom returned and they TRULY celebrated their reunion.

I spotted these beauties over on Mika78's blog (which is quickly becoming a favorite of mine by the way) and fell head over heels in love. It's HARD to find perfect flower girl dresses so when I saw these, I knew I had to share the love. Like Mimi said, I would wear any one of them myself, but imagining them on a little girl just...
We are always on the lookout for great bridal accessories and when this came into our inbox, we swooned. Tickled Pink is an etsy seller who features shawls, wraps, capelets and shrugs with a sense of style that would compliment an organic, rustic look just as well as it would a chic, modern look. We are in love with Tickled Pink and know that...
I got this ridiculously cute engagement session the other day, shot by Aruna B. Photography, and I had to share! Love the vintage soda shop theme, with a couple that is chic and modern. Yet another really fun idea for an e-session!
Aruna B. is a photography studio out of Michigan and when I say that they are talented, I am vastly understating their work. Check out their site and...

Well, it's a little bit outside of my somewhat dorky comfort zone but, I figure you ladies are getting married and you want to look your best from the inside out. So, we're really excited to announce this fun giveaway by a fabulous lingerie shop called The T-Bar. It's tasteful but flirty, sweet but saucy (blush)...perfect for any SMP girl!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Cynthia Martyn for sending us today's featured affair.

And, thank you so much to Jessica and Kevin for letting us feature their big day. It goes without saying that we are in love.
I heart today's real wedding. In a big way. We don't feature the super girly affairs very often but when we do, I fall in love all over again. There is just something so sophisticated and chic about a pink and gray palette, particularly when you throw in the most gorgeous florals you've ever seen, perfect pieces by Rae Dunn and details by Cynthia Martyn that will literally make your heart...
We are featuring THE most gorgeous details that Cynthia Martyn crafted for Jessica and Kevin's stunning real wedding. Jessica is a girl after my own heart with such a pretty, feminine style and a color palette that would make any bride swoon. Loving every bit of this chic affair!

Our next question comes from Abby (another Abby)....
Q. I was hoping you could help me out! I don't know what color shirt to have my Fiance and his groomsmen wear to the wedding with their black suits. I am wearing a deep ivory cotton mermaid/trumpet gown from Melissa Sweet that has vintage lace.
The dress is not shiny and there is no beading, just the cotton and lace. The boys are wearing black suits instead of tuxes. I am not sure if they should wear regular...
Here is question two, coming from Elizabeth...
Q. I am getting married in September and have NO IDEA what to do for decorations at the altar area of our ceremony. I dont really have a theme yet... kinda rustic chic, I guess... I have a vintage lace tea length dress, and our centerpieces are white hydrangeas in mason jars and small potted herbs that double as favors. We are trying to work within a small budget and are interested in eco-friendly ideas.

To Everything There Is A Season ... what a great starting point for planning a wedding!

David and Julie were a fun couple to work with. They loved bright colors and wanted their event to be FUN! We incorporated the "Four Seasons" into their save the date, invitation, programs, menu cards etc. For example...on their invitation, the belly...
It's been SO long since we've had any Ask Abby questions featured, so I figured it was time for a fresh start. Rather than doing a whole day, I am just going to feature 3 questions this morning with the hopes that you guys will be able to help a girl out and give these brides some guidance. The first, comes from Jen....
