This beautiful space was built in 2004 specifically for weddings and other special events. The staff is well-experienced to...
Full of charm, color, and very do-able decor, our next event is just the thing to get the creative juices flowing. This playful little bridal shower not only has me searching for an excuse to throw a party, it also makes me want to redecorate my dining room. Crafted and designed by City Cradle Design and photographed by Jackie Wonders, it just goes to show that you can totally...
Be prepared! We had a tough time choosing our favorite photos sent to us by Laura at Lark Photo from Colleen and Drew's spring wedding! Lots and lots of really pretty details and lots and lots of gorgeous girls (and boys!). To begin, the beautiful bride, Colleen ...

We are going to switch things up a bit and take a little ride down to Haiti for one of the most beautiful engagement sessions we have EVER seen. I know we say this practically every week but this time we are completely serious. Photographed by KT Merry, this is a little peek inside the beauty of Haiti and an unbelievably adorable couple totally in love. Grab a comfy seat and open those peepers up wide because you do not want to miss a...
Good Morning SMP'ers. We hope you had a lovely, lovely weekend. We are going to start this week off au naturel with an outdoor celebration on a working farm in Northern California. Sent to us by photographer Mary McHenry, this DIY soiree comes complete with fuzzy wuzzy animals and tons of delicious organic food...oh and a ridiculously good looking barn. Check out the...
So yes, this shower is cute. SO stinking cute, filled with super chic ideas that are perfect for a bridal shower or a bridesmaids gathering. But we have an alterier motive...tt just happened to be THE PERFECT way to spread the news that Tait and I are officially adding to the SMP family with baby number 2! Yep, I'm good and knocked up and couldn't be more thrilled! So to celebrate, we're sharing this absolutely darling baby shower held for one of my favorite people ever, the fabulous Viola of...
What better way to round out the week than with one last engagement shoot from the Eternal City of Rome! From what I've read (because I have no first-hand knowledge!), all one has to do is glance around to see why the city has always attracted so many "lovers"! From young children running thru the streets holding hands, to the madly-in-love leaning against a lamp post. Apparently the old adage "you've never lived until you've loved in Rome" is alive and well ...
And lucky for...
Are you ready for a little back stage pass into today's shear gorgeousness? This just might be one of our favorite parts of the From Inspiration to Reality features. Getting to see all of the perfect little details and touches live and in motion really pulls at the pretty strings. Shot by Richard Israel, this super 8 film is like peering into the past at a quaint little English countryside wedding... a gem indeed.
Hold on to your hats, girls. This little number is for you. We're talking the most beautiful Southern inspired, romantic inspiration you can ever imagine...perfect antiques, gorgeous mercury glass candles, rustic details with totally chic personalities. But what I love even more than all that (even more than the amazing pillbox hat the bride is rocking) is that Alyse Woodward, the incredible designer, thoughtfully laid out each and...
It's that time again...time to see another one of your fabulous inspiration boards instantly transformed into a real life photoshoot, complete with as many steal worthy details and ideas that a girl could ever want. Today's inspiration comes from Style Circle guru, Samantha, who crafted a design that is as sweet and soft as it is...

If you are all about classic style and old word charm then you are going to flip your lid over this lovely wedding. Set in the Scottish countryside this is so unbelievably picturesque. We are talking peonies and bagpipes and views for days. How incredible is that combo? Photographed by Craig and Eva Sanders, this is surely the perfect ending to a gorgeous day of weddings. Enjoy even more of this Scottish soiree in the...
We have gone from eco-chic in Austin to a carnival themed soiree and now my friends, we have a glamorous Beverly Hills fete from rockstar photographer, Meg Perotti. All in a day's work. This wedding is so very romantic and girly and chic and fabulous and completely embodies Old Hollywood charm. We double dog dig it and a huge standing ovation for the color combination. It's pure color heaven. Be sure to glide on over to the...
Well hot diggity! You didn't get up this morning and think we were going to take you to the fair did you?! Well get ready cuz we're kicking the day off carnival-style and there is no shortage of goodies to feast your eyes on - The candy stripe straws, the vintage popcorn bags, the old fashion soda! Amanda from Bliss Weddings & Events led the creative design for this shoot and I'm sure you'll all agree she pulled off such...
Ahhhhh.... although Fredericksburg is about 90 miles northwest of San Antonio, it still almost feels like "home" to me. It is a charming community, rich in pioneer Texas history and many of the original dwellings have been restored to their traditional German architecture. It's the kind of place where the hustle and bustle can be left far behind and big deep breaths are the order of the day. And so it comes as no surprise that Anne & J.B. would choose Fredericksburg for their destination...
We are serving up a plate of Austin nuptials today and these nups are extra special because they are greenified, as in eco-chic and puurrrtty y'all. (I think that's how they say it in Texas, right Abby?) This fun loving bride and groom had a vintage inspired wedding that completely fit their laid back, easy breezy spirit while infusing lots of organic elements that would make Mother Earth oh so proud. Stacy Cross photographed...
Yep. You read that right! We've teamed up with one of the greatest resources for brides of all time...Wedding Paper Divas. The site that allows super style savvy brides to choose from literally hundreds of invitations (many from some of the industries top designers) all without leaving the comfort of your sofa. And although the concept itself is nothing short of genius, we do understand that sifting thru that many...
The final engagement session we're showcasing today is a breathtaking shoot from Melani Lust Photography. We started off the day by saying that the one common denominator in all engagement shoots is the almost palpable love shared between the couple. You can style or dress or prop all you want, but the bottom line is the emotion caught on film that tells the true story ...
I have...
Okay, so the title is a little bit deceiving. This isn't so much a real wedding as it is a perfectly styled photoshoot by some of our FAVORITE. DESIGNERS. EVER. Franklin + Gower. The kings of chic, preppy style for your men and your maids. And for you if you feel like rocking customized khaki's down your wedding aisle. Anyway, for me, this is beachside inspiration done to perfection. From the effortless florals to the SO-not-cliche...
