Guess what today is. It's my five year wedding anniversary with my husband, Tait. You guys might know him as the geeky but cute genius behind SMP. We met 9 years ago at a New Year's Eve party and haven't looked back since. And in those nine years we've given birth to the most beautiful baby girl Audrey, the most incredible business in Style Me Pretty and what will be the most adorable LITTLE BOY come January. I count my lucky stars every single day to have stumbled into this amazing life...

If you read just a little bit about Lori and Jessica at Simply Divine Events, you'll find out that simply saying they are wedding planners falls way short of the mark. Lori and Jessica are two women with a mission, a passion and a knack for listening to your dreams ~ and doing...
I feel like there are so many brides out there that are totally and completely overwhelmed when it comes to planning their wedding. Even though I was IN the wedding industry when I planned my own, I was definitely one of those girls. I wish someone had given me permission to embrace my jeans and a t-shirt personality when it came to the design...to craft a wedding that was laid back and yet beautiful, casual and yet really special. Well, that is EXACTLY what this gorgeous bride did and the...
Peaches are my absolute favorite summer fruit. I literally spend the year awaiting their arrival at the farmers' market, so when I saw how Gina and Kyle incorporated fresh peaches throughout their summer wedding, my mouth was watering immediately. Gina, the bride, works for Little Black Book member 2 Dine 4 Fine Catering in Austin, so I knew right away that the...
I have a HUGE confession. Probably one that my now husband shouldn't read. But, it's a happy ending so I figured what the hell. When I got my engagement ring (6 years ago...gasp), I wasn't so sure about it. It was a yellow gold and I had my heart set on a white gold or even better...a platinum ring. But upon closer inspection, I realized that I was staring down at a 1920's Antique Tiffany diamond ring. Yep, I KNOW. Well, really seeing the beauty in that changed my whole gold perspective. I am...
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...
There are insanely cute paper goods and then there are these. Invites that are so stinkin cute, so beyond , so over-the-top amazing that they get their very own category. These fun bits of paper were designed by Sara Giessen for a lovely wedding abroad in Iceland and they involve, maps, travel, scrabble letters, twine, books – are you dying yet? Not only that but they also come with a cute little diddy of a film by...
Just last week, we featured a film from Marrone Video of a terrific photo shoot on SMP {here}. And if you haven't already fallen in love with their style, today will most certainly do the trick! We have two short films that you've...
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.
We're interrupting our drool-worthy spread of real weddings today for a fun little look at our latest and greatest invitation picks from Wedding Paper Divas. Some of you might remember that we opened a SMP shop filled with our favorite finds from two of the best online stores on the planet...
When puffs of pink and green meet the whimsy of black & white ~ smack in the middle of a stunning Toronto garden ... sheer delight! Garden wedding ideas were taken to an all new level in this photo shoot sent to us by Elizabeth Johnston of EventDecorator and shot by the amazing Jennifer Klemmenti. Even if...
We love all things vintage and this wedding inspiration shoot showcases some amazing old school charm. Typewriters, luggage and a tufted sofa? Swoon. Handkerchiefs and mercury glass? The cherry on top of this sweet sundae. We are oohing and awing over the details that Erin of Bustle added to create this sweet little shoot. All set against the breathtaking...
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. The bride-to-be met her future husband while abroad in Australia so naturally, the gals behind Lani Elizabeth wanted to incorporate a vintage Australia theme for the shower, complete with...
