Ever since I was little and saw the movie Ghost for the first time, I have been literally OBSESSED with living in a loft. It seems that the second you move in, you are instantly transformed into a super cool, artsy type with lots of books and a euro kitchen. I have yet to fulfill my dream but in the meantime I can live vicariously through Traci and Chris's ultra-hip Loft Wedding. With no flowers in the place (yep, you read correctly, flower-free), the bride and groom collaborated with...
You are about to see my personal wedding Achilles heel. This is my all time ultimate wedding weakness. We all have one - for some it's the DIY backyard wedding and for others it's the elegant ballroom wedding. Mine is the classic, New England wedding with nautical inspiration. I can't pin point what exactly it is that makes me crumble each and every time I see one executed to perfection, but as soon as I lay eyes on the rope knots, or the sailboats, or the nautical flags my heart sets...
Boone Hall Plantation ~ a super-cute old-fashioned trolley ~ bow ties ~ beautiful southern belles ~ sweet tea vodka cocktails ... pure Southern bliss!

Hold on to your hats brides to be (and grooms to be for that matter). The third annual NotWedding Bridal Event rolled into Atlanta in February and oh do we have some yummy inspiration for you. If you haven't heard about this gem of a bridal show, you are in luck. This is not your average shindig. The NotWedding is the end-all-be-all of wedding events where some of Atlanta's most talented vendors come together to stage a wedding extravaganza. Hosted by...
Personal, boisterous and rustic. Those were the three words the bride used as inspiration for her wedding, and boy did she get just that. Add whimsical, stunning and downright charming and you don't even need the rest of this introduction. This Swedish Wedding brought to us by LBB member Kristy Rice at Momental Designs is just all around good. It also doesn't hurt that the bride and groom are drop dead gorgeous. XOXO - (the other) Abby from...
When Amelia Lyon sent me this UNBELIEVABLE cream-colored dream of a wedding, which took place at the oh so divine Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel... well, I just about died. No, seriously. That's how fabulously BREATHTAKING it is. Amelia's photography regularly has me perched on the very edge of my seat with my eyeballs 10 inches from the screen, hyper-focused on her rich, radiant imagery. But, oh my, THIS WEDDING... it is pure...
Hmmm...how do I describe this next wedding sent to us by crazy talented Carla Ten Eyck? Pure and unadulterated AWESOMENESS comes to mind. Donna and Andrew, the stylish bride and groom, created a rustic affair full of unique personal touches completely crafted by hand and so uniquely them. I must say, I am left yearning for a wheat bouquet to call my own. Be sure to visit the...
Sorry ~ but I'm a push-over for beautiful little princesses ~ and this little flower girl of Casey & Jeff's is just too sweet!

Everything about this wedding is so incredibly romantic. Laura Kleinhenz was the amazing photographer behind the day and she is on my all time favorite list for sure. Docuvitae has a way of capturing the most beautiful moments in a very natural way. Perfection if you ask me. And can we please talk about the venue? How can you not love a huge field of lavender? San Ysidro Ranch played host to this gorgeous, intimate wedding that...
Lately, I've been obsessing over all things modern. Especially weddings. The clean lines, the fresh approach to design, the simple but generally gorgeous style. So when I see a modern wedding done really right, I jump at the chance to feature it on SMP. This wedding was sent to us by the clearly talented Watson Studios (and clearly lucky to get to shoot weddings like this one) and I am officially blown away.
I know. It's Spring. The birds are chirping, the dogwoods are in bloom. People seem to have a little skip in their step. And for this Texas native, that is a HUGE relief. But, despite the warmer weather, I have still managed to fall head over heels for this little Winter wedding that the talented Mark and Michele at IN Photography sent our way. It's magical really. With a stunning bride, a cozy cabin and a style that is as romantic...
Katy ~ today's beautiful bride ~ refers to herself as a professional bridesmaid. Having served as an attendant at many a friends' wedding, she knew what she liked and set about assembling a team who could help her achieve it. Little Black Book members ~ Tifany at Gourmet Invitations, Abby at Abby Rose Photo...
I've always gravitated towards white subway tiles with dark gray grout because, aside from the fact that I like the way it looks, I'm terrified of grout getting dirty and grimy and not knowing how to freshen it back up. But no more! I can proudly adore the bright white grout (and keep it that way) with these natural home remedies from Francesca Clarke. When grout is dirty and grimy (mildew and...
We spotted this next beauty over on Michele M. Waite's blog, one of our favorite photographers EVER. And it's the kind of wedding that makes you want to move right in. To set up shop in the fields, to dine on perfect pies and to dance the night away under the gorgeous stars. Knowing that so much of this wedding was DIY and that so many family members pitched in to help, makes it even more special, even more beautiful. Oh and did I...
We gave you a little sneak peak of today's wedding in our column on The Bride's Guide (Martha Stewart Weddings Blog), but we have so much more goodness here for you I can hardly contain myself. And although the wedding itself is GORGEOUS (think recycled, reused, re-purposed elegance), it's the wedding story and the amazing...
I hope you woke up this morning ready for some serious eye candy. We're thrilled to bring you gorgeous new accessories from one of our favorite designers, Noaki Jewelry. I've always loved Noaki's amazing hairpieces, beautiful bouquets, and exquisite jewels... but this photo shoot from her spring collection made me weak in the knees. Total dream.

Some weddings are stuffed with details and I love those but I also have a soft spot for weddings that fall on the simple and edited side. Easy, breezy and filled to the brim with family was the name of this game. Dave Robbins Photography sent over this sweet, sweet wedding and it is both classic and elegant. It is like a breath of fresh air and I am completely smitten with the hints of baby's breath sprinkled throughout. Be...
Some things just come naturally ~ weddings and sumptuous white dresses, big bunches of roses and the sparkling glitz of diamonds and crystals ...
Nicole's wedding is all that and more!
Nicole and James were married in Abigail's Garden at the beautiful Abernethy Center in Oregon City. Don't you love the name of that? Abigail's Garden ...

There is something so very charming and magical about a backyard wedding. Maybe it is the cozy atmosphere, or the comfort that comes from being surrounded by friends and family in an intimate venue. Even if you aren't blessed with a huge backyard, you can still capture that feeling of a homespun affair – case in point, Emilie and Gray's outdoor wedding in Sonoma. This lovely day had that "IT" factor and I am IN LOVE with every last detail captured by the awesomeness that is...
