It's Monday! Which for you probably means another week of trying to work while you are really wanting to just read wedding blogs. But for us, means that we get to show you the most gorgeous affairs that have come across our desks, the most perfect details, the most lovely of lovely brides. Mondays are always really good days on SMP and we're kicking it all off with this perfectly pretty affair that Turn Loose the Art sent our way.

This is one divine wedding! But then again ... what else would you expect from Karen Tran?
First, a little background from Darby, today's exquisite bride!

Two folding beach chairs, one cleverly...
This week is a comforting reminder that Style Me Pretty will continue to inspire me, long after my wedding on June 12th! Like many brides, SMP has been my wedding planning companion for the past year and as the wedding checklist dwindles down, you might be asking, “What’s next for me?” Then a week like this comes along, filled with a romantic honeymoon shoot, amazing tablescape ideas and one couple’s lovely "day after shoot," taken three years after their wedding! … The pretty...
What better way to end the day than with the prettiest little wedding you've ever seen. The sweetest little details. The loveliest of lovely brides. Designed by Jill La Fleur, with photographs by Jose Villa and Event Design + Florals by Mindy Rice...it's the picture perfect wedding to end the picture perfect week. Stay...
We are back with the second stop on the Kestrin and Jonathan love train and it just so happens to be their radical reception at Flora Grubb Gardens. These two know how to think way outside of the wedding box and their festivities reside in a land where funky meets gorgeous. Noa of Feather Love Photography completely blew it out of the water with this one. From...
Kestrin and Jonathan have a magical kind of love. The kind of love that they write novels about, that movies are centered around and that blogs love to blog about. To celebrate this magic stuff, they held a two-day wedding extravaganza in Northern California and it is nothing short of wondrous. To top it off, one of the best photographers out there, Noa Azoulay-Sclater of Feather Love Photography, was there to bottle that magic...
You know, writing a wedding blog can be tough. Every day I pore over THE most beautiful images, THE most beautiful brides, THE most beautiful details. And every day I wish that I could do it all over again. Don't get me wrong. My wedding was one of the best days of my life, and definitely the most beautiful. But seeing the creativity that comes from our readers and our vendors is always a recipe for jealousy. Well, today's first featured couple just might have solved my "I wish I could do it...
We are taking a step away from all of our Real Weddings on the Little Black Book Blog to help you prepare for yours with a fantastic giveaway from Chrissy at Everything Angelic! She is going to award one Style Me Pretty reader a $200 gift credit toward the purchase of your own bridal jewelry!!!
All designs are hand-crafted and consist of Swarovski crystals, Czech crystal drops...
Is it just us or is that not the hottest little white dress you've ever seen? Myka and Georges had a FABULOUS modern white wedding in a rustic old barn and the contrast is so very easy on the eyes. From her yummy cocktail engagement ring, to the DIY ribboned booties and that big bloom atop her head, Myka is all about steal-worthy style and we are taking notes. Of course she is a fellow wedding blogger and...
A few years back, my very cute cousin Jessica opted to use potted plants as her centerpieces rather than the traditional cut variety. I didn't really think about it at the time but looking back, she was kind of genius. Not only were the potted plants much more affordable, they could also be used to create a wonderful little garden in her new home. Plus, it was really really pretty. So when I saw this garden inspired tablescape that Ara at...
Got room for a preciously pink wedding? Ha, I don't even know why I ask. When Kim Le sent me this wedding, my eyes started watering... literally. It wasn't just the pictures that excited me; the real tearjerker comes in the form of what Grant, the groom, had to say about the day and, more importantly, about his bride, Cylie Lyn. Scout's honor, I fell into a puddle on the floor when I read his words...

Kendall Brown at Eclatante Event Design sent us another of her sensational weddings to share with you today.
The intro from Kendall ...
Holly and Bill (a U.S.A.F. jet pilot) lived, literally, three doors away from each other in Northern Liberties, yet didn’t meet until they passed...
Okay, kids. If you weren't already jealous of the insanely gorgeous weddings we've been featuring today...you will be after this. And I mean really jealous. Green with seaside envy. Had I known this wedding was happening, I would have literally BEGGED the bride to invite me. Photographed by J. Cogliandro, this wedding is TOTAL bliss.
This next wedding is so lovely. Perfectly lovely handpicked flowers, perfectly lovely styling and a perfectly lovely (okay, completely gorgeous) bride. It's proof that wedding decor doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg to be absolutely wonderful and that DIY can be made to look so incredibly chic. Hats off to this cute Canadian couple for designing a day that will make so many of our readers smile.
I love when we do a full day of real weddings. It's so cool to see the difference in style with each couple, the different approaches to wedding design that our readers take. And that each wedding is impossibly gorgeous in its own way. Well this next wedding, by Jill La Fleur, is the epitome of gorgeous, with details that are so incredibly charming. So incredibly beautiful. Add to that florals and design by the CRAZY talented...
We're always about the pretty. Pretty flowers, pretty gowns, pretty centerpieces, pretty maids ... you name it ~ we're all over it. But in addition to being so very pretty, Michelle and John's wedding weekend was a testament to all that's glorious about the celebration of marriage.
This short film from Mike at...
This happy, vibrant wedding is coming to us aaaaall the way from lovely South Africa. The continents may be different but the cute vintage details are very, very familiar. Huibri, the beautiful bride, handcrafted every single last detail of this day to perfection. She is a DIY goddess if I ever saw one and Splendid Productions snapped the pictures to prove it. Take a looky-loo in the...
It's Real Wedding Wednesday, which means a real wedding every hour! Up next, an Aspen beauty. Aspen, Colorado just might be the ideal location for a mountaintop wedding. Can you get over those picturesque views? Coordinated by Sapphire Celebrations, this wedding is so undeniably gorgeous and comes complete with pine trees, gondola rides and the most adorable of puppies. Mountain chalet wedding venues seem to be few and far...
Rick and Kate, the Ontario couple behind this super sweet affair created the perfect day full of fresh details and loads of DIY. With herbs and greens as their decoration of choice, the result was edited and simple without forgoing the beauty and charm of a backyard wedding. And the images from A Simple Photograph? Simply dreamy. This is but a snippet. You can see more from this wedding...
Before we start the weddings today, we wanted to give you a quick look at a really fun bridal shoot from Stacy Reeves. She and her bride, Leah, started out the day just driving around Leah's neighborhood in The Woodlands, Texas, and stopping along the way at any interesting spots that they happened upon ...
And then ... they decided to add a little bit of a twist to the...
