Just got back from an incredible event that the girls at True and Wesson and Hana Floral Design threw for the chicest of brides. I left so unbelievably inspired, with visions of perfect flowers and stunning details dancing in my head. We'll have full coverage in a bit but for now, I thought that I would urge you over to...

One Saturday of each month, we set aside some time to welcome our advertisers. But the funny thing is, they don't feel like advertisers at all because I genuinely love the companies that we partner with. So for me, it's kind of fun to brag all about the designers that we've decided to show off!

First up, the AMAZING (and seriously people, when I say amazing, I am hardly doing them justice) invitation designers at Elum.
It's time to announce the winner of the custom cupcake mix from Gourmet Gift Co.! Congratulations to Chels, who said...
"I have created my own label about 20 times through their site, without ever checking out. I want so bad to give the red velvet cake mix to our special guests in their hotel rooms (we are having a fabulous red velvet wedding cake) but we just can’t afford it. No matter how many times I tell myself we can’t...
If you thought that last set of Amsale gowns were gorgeous, please feast your eyes on these babies...
I could marry that top right gown. And let's face it, I love the wispy, flowy dresses as much as the next girl but these...these are gowns! Gorgeous, sophisticated, unabashedly beautiful gowns. I love that Amsale allows the girl to carry the dress. Her designs are simple, unfussy...
Amsale is by far one of my favorite gown designers. Although I've always adored her collection, my real love affair started with this amazing dress and has continued to grow with each new line that she designs. Lucky for us, one of our SMP gurus, Jessica, was able to attend the Amsale preview show a...
Thank you so very much to Heather for sharing these gorgeous images with us. Heather is traveling right now, but if you want to email her about her services in the Austin area, just click here. And, thank you to Ever After Images for giving Heather the opportunity to share her incredible work with us. And an even bigger thank you to Amy and Craig for letting us show...
Loving every bit of today's perfect, Southern wedding. Heather Wendling was one of the photographers behind the affair and she did a beautiful job at capturing the sweet simplicity of the day.
Heather was assisting the contracted photographers, Ever After Images on this particular shoot.

Today we are featuring my sweet friend, Heather Wendlings photography...she is just starting out but is already getting applause for her simple, absolutely beautiful work. It does help when you have a wedding that is as adorable as this one!

One of my very favorite things about my job is discovering new talent. Great new photographers, invitation designers that are just starting out, cake bakers and planners, cinematographers and event designers. It's so incredibly inspiring to watch people who are living their dreams, who are just taking off on their creative adventure.
Which is exactly why I am so thrilled to introduce Heather Wendling, a brand spanking new photographer who just happens to be one of my childhood...
We just added a pretty great favors company to our Little Black Book that I have been so excited to introduce to you! Gourmet Gift Co. creates oh-so-yummy baking mixes that can be used to design favors, wedding cupcakes, shower treats, the works. With classic, home grown flavors like vanilla, chocolate and red velvet, the mixes are...
A HUGE thank you to Jen and Andy for sharing their big day with us. I love the style and the total "chic" (yep, I am now using it as a noun) that you infused into your wedding, with approachable design and an all together gorgeous look. And can I just say that adding those fabric panels to the all white walls was GENIUS!

As I said before, this wedding is ALL about the pretty. The perfect little details that made the wedding absolutely lovely. The bright green against the stark white is shockingly perfect and with the elegance of the muted gray...perfection.

On to the absolutely gorgeous ceremony which took place at the Atlanta Contemporary Arts Center. It's simple, it's elegant, it's utterly beautiful...

We found it very important to us that our ceremony be a lovely, thoughtful thing without any sense of manufactured wedding protocol. We asked a former teacher of ours to officiate, since he had known us both before we became...
Today we are featuring the loveliest wedding ever, filled with gorgeous DIY projects and a graphic designer's touch. Loving every little bit of this wedding, from the chic color palette, a muted gray and a bright green, to the edited, modern elegant style.

You are going to SO love today's wedding. It's the perfect combination of modern, traditional, DIY and all around gorgeousness. Jen and Andy tied the knot this past September at the Atlanta Contemporary Arts Center and together put on an affair that would make any guest jump for joy...

Hold the presses people. As I was surfing through one of our Little Black Book member's blog, Sixpense For Your Shoes, I discovered that there is an adorable little cupcake company that...wait for it...DELIVERS. Yep, they deliver their minis anywhere in the country, perfect for a sweet, yummy favor. Love, love, love...
Sometimes ... (well, maybe most of the time) ... I struggle for the right words to start a feature. But today, the word that immediately popped into my mind was "ethereal". The play of the light streaming throughout these images can only be described as ethereal ...
Aron is soooo handsome and Emmy is just about the most radiant bride I've ever seen! The sunshine striking her parasol and saturating her skin gives her that glow that we all long for ...
After all the...
Just spotted these ridiculously awesome shots over on Duston Todd's blog. Ummm, a baby pool? How great is that! They get a little saucy in the pool too, which is kind of cute. I am totally smitten with Duston Todd and his playful, but absolutely gorgeous photography. Definitely check out his blog for some serious eye candy! What I love about this next set is more than just the photography, which is obviously gorgeous as it was...
I am really curious to know how many of you are doing engagement portraits? We decided to not do any and I hugely regret it. I would love to have some really fun, artsy shots of my now husband and I before we tied the knot. So, lately, I have been kind of enamored with the creativity that couples are infusing into their photographs.
Love, love, love the bubbles! These were taken by a relatively new photographer to the scene, Kelty of...
Thank you so much to Jesse and Whitney, the fabulous team behind Our Labor of Love photography, for sharing this ridiculously lovely wedding with us. I have to admit, I was feeling a little burnt out today, a little tired in general. But, seeing the pure joy behind today's affair picked me right up. It's a good reminder as to what a wedding is all about.
And a huge congratulations to Bruce and Uta...may you...
