Any day that involves a gorgeous wedding by Jose Villa is a great day in our book so it looks like one of those really, really great days is in the forecast for Style Me Pretty. Go ahead, we'll give you a moment to dance a little jig. This Santa Ynez wedding is definitely worth a little dancing, a little quickening of the heartbeat and yes, even a few squeals. We have a whopping three parter coming your way and each part is even more...
There is something so utterly romantic about this next featured affair. Photographed by the talented team at m three studio, it's elegant and timeless and when you read the details that went into the day, you see that it's also a perfect representation of the gorgeous couple. But what I love the most about this pretty, pretty wedding is that the style is such a mish-mash of all of the little things I love...an elegant backdrop and an...
Planning your destination wedding is stressful, to say the least! You are beholden to trust the recommendations and referrals of others and hold endless long-distance meetings with your vendors. The stylists at Smart & Chic Bride have done everything humanly possible to assure you that hair and make-up are totally stress-free and the two things you can check off that list! And to show you just how beautiful the result can be...
Most of you girls (and boys) know Jackie Wonders because of the awesome DIY projects that she's helped craft for SMP. You know, those fabulous fabric yo-yo's and the super cool book table numbers (that you can see if you sign up for our newsletter, hint hint). But Jackie also happens to be the photographer...
Before we call it quits on this lovely, lovely day...we HAD to share the film that Curtis Heyne of Living Cinema sent us from today's featured wedding at the Biltmore. There is one caveat though. You HAVE to grab a tissue or two because this gorgeous interpretation of the day is so beautiful, the...
We have another positively delightful wedding from our dear friend Aaron Delesie to share and this one is honest-to-goodness magic. Not that we expected any less from a vendor list that reads like a who's who among fabulous wedding warriors. Beth Helmstetter lent her keen eye for design to create a day that is movie star glamorous and paired ever so nicely with floral art from...
Aaron Delesie and I go way back. He was one of the very first vendors to put faith in SMP and become one of our beloved Little Black Book members and he has always been one of my favorite SMP contributors. The weddings that he sends our way are soft and romantic, ethereal and completely timeless and yet the photographs are always infused with that Aaron Delesie style that I love so very much. And lucky for us, we have TWO Delesie...
Sometimes we come across a wedding that looks so effortless, so elegantly laid-back and carefree like this one. This perfect slice of wedding goodness photographed by the lovely Patricia Kantzos who captured every pretty parasol, every last gorgeous bundle of wildflowers and one very adorable pair of red shoes. Not to mention all of the scrumptious bright colors woven into each and every detail. Let's just say we kind of love it. No, scratch...
Like any stylista who's on top of her game...our newsletter is arriving fashionably late. We've postponed our launch until tomorrow, so we wanted to take a moment to remind all of you SMP junkies out there to come join us in the fun! To sign up, use the lovely little box in the right sidebar and prepare yourself for the prettiest of pretty inspirations a bride (or groom) could ever want.
Elizabeth Messina is the voice behind some of the most beautiful photographs a girl has ever seen. She has this incredibly romantic approach to photography...a perspective that not only makes you want to grab your hubby and plant a big one on him, but one that inspires you to seek out the joy in all of those little things that make life lovely. A photography perspective that simply can't be replicated no matter how talented the lens...
I know, upon first glance, I'd assume this was a photo shoot too. You know...picture perfect details, a bride and a groom that is shockingly gorgeous, a style that is both swoon worthy and surprisingly whimsical. But nope, this is not a photoshoot. I repeat, this is NOT a photoshoot. It's an honest to goodness, real life wedding with a couple that is madly in love and a wedding that was built especially for them. And I'm pretty sure that it's the most gorgeous wedding I've ever seen...with a...
If you happen to be one of those girls that cringes at the daily gushing we do on SMP...you might want to step away from the computer. Because I am about to gush like I've never gushed before. We're talking wedding gush taken to an entirely new level. And let me just preface said gushing by saying this...to date, we've written more than four THOUSAND, five hundred wedding features. And each and every one of them has overflowed with beauty, with style, with charm. I've loved, loved and...
Bianca and Ramon fell in love with Savannah ~ as so many of you know, it's a charming, charming city! They decided that it would be the perfect spot for their destination wedding and were fortunate enough to find the Ballroom on Broughton to say their "I Do's" ...

Whether you're celebrating a wedding, an anniversary, or just in the backyard with a few close friends we hope that you found lots of inspiration tucked into the pages of SMP this week. Even for us girls that look at a lot of wedding eye candy, there's always a darling little detail or beautiful moment that we just can't seem to forget. This was mine. Then another week rolls around and we get swept off our feet all...
This wedding, oh this wedding, I am falling hard for every beautiful nook and cranny of it. We are talking madly, deeply in LOVE with the gorgeous photography by Ben Chrisman, with the thoughtfully designed and perfectly executed styling by Alison Events and their fearless approach to bold colors, with those lovely rustic bistro chairs. I don't think there is one piece that I...
Every single wedding we see is filled to the brim with special touches, special details, beautiful people. Becky and Tay's Vermont wedding is such a perfect reminder that behind all the beautiful people and gorgeous details, the emotions of the day are the crowning glory. The flash of a father's smile, the glint of a tear, the hugs and spontaneous explosions of joy! And who better to capture it all, but...
Sometimes weddings come across my desk that just make me smile. Weddings like this one that have such a lovely light hearted spirit about them, you can't help but grin from ear to ear. Ones that makes you want to join the party. Ones that say it's OK to kick your shoes off and eat some burgers or skip down the aisle if you so prefer. You Look Nice Today Photography was the genius behind the camera for this fun Oregon...
The lovely ladies of Posh Paperie, who are always sending us the THE BEST projects, have done it again with one of the cutest DIY tutorials and we are giving them major props for the easy factor combined with a completely adorable aesthetic that could so easily be translated for your big day. Photographed by Jackie Wonders (another one of our favorite gals), these...
We are going crazy over this wedding. Seriously, on the smitten scale, this is off the charts. We LOVE the peaches. We love the great outdoors backdrop and the incorporation of ski lifts (completely awesome). But the thing that is really getting us, really making us fall hard - that would be all of the perfect, perfect moments captured by Erin Kate Photography. It is almost as if we were there, sitting on top of that mountain...
People. Have I got a wedding for you today. Sent in by the fabulous and inspirational Jasmine Star, this wedding has captured my heart. You all know I'm a big fan of not overdoing it; there's nothing better than keeping it simple and meaningful. And our bride Sarah and I seem to be on the same page. This girl went through a lot to get to her wedding day, including having to postpone the date due to sickness, so to see her...
