A HUGE thank you to Gia Canali for sharing today's wedding with us. I think that I speak for all of us when I say that it was gorgeous, it was heartwarming and it was inspiring. And of course, to Jessie and Matt!
Here are a few last images of the beautiful couple, using vintage process prints - a Polaroid emulsion lift and a Polaroid transfer. Something that Gia and crew specialize in...
As the day turned to night on today's featured wedding, the twinkle lights glowed and the romance of the evening really began to shine. I have loved every little bit of today's affair and these next set of pictures just take the cake...
All photographs were shot by the FABULOUS Gia Canali.
Now on to the absolutely gorgeous reception that Jessie and Matt threw for their guests at a restaurant in Point Loma, California called Old Venice Restaurant and Cafe. Love, love, love the simple elegance of the decor...from the sweet flower arrangements that the bride designed and crafted to the lovely white linens. Every bit is just beautiful.
So much more to come from this gorgeous affair, shot by the...

Found via Twigs & Thistle, these pew cards are just too cute not to share with the world. Crafted by the fabulous Ellie of the design blog Mint, each card will be handed out to guests that require a reserved seat. The guest then simply shows the card to the usher, so that he knows to seat them in the appropriate location. How great is that!? Thanks for the...
This wedding is a complete dream. It's one of those weddings that is simply easy to love, with its pretty, feminine charm and sweet, elegant style.

So today's affair was all about the details. Those perfect little touches that take the wedding style to a whole new level. Of course, like one of our readers said in the comments, a wedding really is all about the bride and the groom and the love that they share. BUT, in terms of style...the weddings that people always remember are those where the details shine.
Remember, details shouldn't push your budget. They should not cost more than you are really comfortable with. Look to...
There is so much to love about today's featured affair. From the simple, but absolutely lovely color palette filled with blues, white and other neutrals, to the unbelievable details...every element is simply flawless. Add in Elizabeth Messina's incredible photography and you have a jump-for-joy worthy affair!

Ahhhh...don't you wish you were a guest at this gorgeous affair!? More to...
There is something so unbelievably cohesive and yet so wonderfully effortless about today's featured affair. The decor blends seamlessly with the natural surrounding and doesn't at all seem over styled or designed.
The white and teal palette, paired with the silver and natural hues is FLAWLESS. Placing huge hurricane vases with pillar candles in the sand is genius and added that touch of romance that every reception needs. I can't say enough about this gorgeous affair that Lisa...
When I talk about "the details" on SMP...what I really mean are the little things. Thoughtful touches that make a wedding truly memorable...perhaps it's simply serving food that reflects your personalities or designing menu cards, place cards and programs that are charming and sweet, favors that are so "you." The details are the little things that truly elevate a wedding.
Although not everyone can have a wedding in paradise, everyone can find inspiration in one! From the bamboo...
We featured this wedding in an Inspiration Board format a LONG time ago, but recently, the fabulous photographer, Elizabeth Messina, sent me even more photos from the event and I had to share.
I sometimes sound like a broken record when I say that a wedding really is all in the details. But it's so true. And there is no one that does details better than Lisa Vorce, the...
I am SO excited to tell you guys that the fabulous Victoria of Milkfed Press has officially launched her wedding invitation line and in a word...it's scrumptious! Her designs are a little bit vintage, a little bit modern and all together gorgeous.

We have had so many emails about the ridiculously great silhouette artist that was featured in Kisma and John's real wedding last week, I have decided to let the cat out of the bag! The artist behind this brilliant idea was Karl Johnson of the fabulous Cut Arts.
Karl is a "Master Silhouette Artist" as every silhouette...
