I love DIY projects just as much as the next girl. But today I was introduced to a new, even more appealing abbreviation: DIT. Do it together. Let's face it, when a bride is cramming and creating DIY projects for her wedding, many of them become DIT projects with her bridesmaids or her beau. Sometimes it even becomes a fun family affair. Thus was the case for today's DIY-packed Santa Barbara wedding shot by the very lovely...
Today we are featuring the professional talents of three Little Black Book members ~ Amelia Tarbet, Lucie's Events and...
If the rehearsal dinner was prettier than a lot of the real weddings I've seen, well...you better believe that the wedding itself was off the charts gorgeous. It's actually so beautifully styled that you just might mistake it for a photoshoot. But nope. This is a real, honest-to-goodness wedding, jam packed with not only lovely details, but elements that scream...
I swear, some of my all time favorite posts on SMP are the rehearsal dinners. A little bit because I get so much inspiration for my own parties and gatherings, but mostly because I am in awe at how freaking cool some of these dinners are. We're talking wedding cool. Main event cool. With details that are off the charts gorgeous and yet an element of fun that I always want to see infused into EVERY get-together. And this one, designed by the fab Jennifer at...
I've got a gorgeous little wedding for you today, straight outta Cali and shot by the fabulous Sylvie Gil. But first let me ask: have I ever shared that I love hydrangeas? Because I do. I grew up with them in my backyard and danced around them, half-naked, as a baby. My baby friends were doing it too, so it's not like I was some weird baby or something. (Because I wasn't.) But the hydrangeas in this wedding bring...

Sometimes natural beauty is all you need to create a memorable affair and from the looks of this wedding venue, Aspen, Colorado is definitely not lacking in natural beauty...or memorable affairs for that matter. The New York couple behind the day chose the T Lazy 7 Ranch to host their laid-back outdoor wedding. Stephan Maloman was on hand to photograph the festivities to complete and...
I am thrilled that my second guest post at Style Me Pretty is an engagement session shot by my dear, dear friend Noa of Feather Love Photography. There are a lot of photographers out there that I love but there is no one that can even come close to Noa. She is a true artist and anything that gets caught in her camera turns to pure gold.

If there is one single question that I am asked daily, it's...what is your favorite wedding trend? And my answer is always the same. The BEST wedding trend on the planet is to infuse your day with details that truly reflect your personality....no matter what tradition may say. Which is exactly what this adorable couple did for their picture perfect Calistoga affair that literally SCREAMS fun. Designed by Alyssa Brown at Alison Events...
Instead of trying to top this morning's gorgeous Canadian affair, we thought we would change gears and share a completely swoon worthy bridal shower sent to us by Lani Elizabeth, the floral and event designers responsible for all this pretty.

So if the inspiration board wasn't gorgeous enough on its own, you're pretty much going to die when you see how Azar over at Principal Planner transformed it into a wedding dream come true. The photography, captured by Davina Plus Daniel, is perfection and you totally get a sense of just how gorgeous this was in person. And don't even get me started on the paper...
