I am 100% tucking this week away for safe keeping! Have you ever had a week on Style Me Pretty where you felt like every wedding was meant for you to see? Where you secretly throw your hands up in the air with excitement, bust out a little SMP shuffle, or catch yourself smiling two inches from the screen? If you haven't guessed, I read SMP from the privacy of my own home and I recommend that you do the same when taking a look back at this week's posts!

This next photo shoot is somewhat of a departure from the classic Alice in Wonderland but the details and styling are BEYOND gorgeous. Blondes may have more fun but brunettes know how to rock a moody tea party. With Tim Burton's dark and twisty take on Alice as inspiration, Kate Whelan Events incorporated lovely jewel tones and rustic detailing into their interpretation of Alice getting married. The result captured by...
This sweet little number was sent to us by Lydia Yeung of Ever Ours who designed a bridal shower around ...you guessed it...Tim Burton's interpretation of Alice in Wonderland. Her and her fabulous team wanted to create a picnic tea party with a darker side and loaded it with tons of great ideas that all of you gals can pull for your own soirees. I know this Matron of Honor is taking note.

What do you get when you combine hot sauce bottles, ranunculus and papel picado banners? Only the most colorfully gorgeous rehearsal dinner I have ever laid my eyes upon. With a powerhouse of vendors including styling from Jeanie of Details, Details and Sunny of White Lilac, Kellan and Brandon held a fiesta fit for a wedding day celebration. If you are as huge a fan of color as I...

We are stepping away from the uber-luxe weddings we've been featuring lately to share with you three completely perfect, completely charming weddings that are filled to the brim with style, with handmade details and with personality for days. And this one, designed by the gorgeous bride who happens to own a fabulous new bridal shop in NYC called Lovely (that I am now completely obsessed with btw), is all about the...
Escalante, Utah - population 818. Well, make that 918 when this happy wedding brigade rolled into town. This shindig is proof that ballrooms and fancy bouquets do not a wedding make. Sometimes love and a fire-pit are all you really need to throw one super duper party. Of course, an awesome photographer like Chris Richards never hurts. And can we please talk about that ultra pretty wedding gown? The bride had her Grandmother's graduation...
It's been WAY too long since we've featured one of Karen Wise's weddings on the Little Black Book Blog! So when Tamara & Adam's Manhattan wedding fell into our box ... we were thrilled! Karen shoots all film and she's seriously, one of the best. Her attention to details, the focus on traditional wedding photography with that extra special oomph that kicks her images up and over the top ~ well ... you'll see!
Although the huge majority of SMP readers are brides, I KNOW there are some lurkers out there that just can't seem to leave the wedding dreaminess behind. Well, this one's for you girls. An anniversary shoot designed by one of the most talented photographers out there, Stephanie Tracy. The cute, cute photography couple celebrated their anniversary with a picture...
Okay, two very important things about this next wedding. One. The designer, Kristin Banta is awesome. She's crazy talented, insanely sweet AND she just happens to be the official event designer for...wait for it...Patti Stanger, THE MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER! Which is like ridiculously cool...
If you're on the east coast we might be sharing the same rainy day... But the good news is that we have a colorful treat for you today that will make you smile regardless of your local forecast.

We seriously heart these stylish clutches and colorful fabrics, so...
There is something undeniably gorgeous and alluring about the central coast of California. It is quite possible that it was made specifically for joyous celebrations; at least it looks that way every time I see another breathtaking wedding from this region. Allyson Magda, who works magic with a camera, sent over this perfect, perfect wedding for us to gaze upon. The lovely couple was married at Calcareous Vineyards in Paso Robles...
Just back from a much needed mini-vacation to Florida ~ what better way to start the week than with the rest of the story from JoAnn at Elegant Occasions ~ Eliza & Jeffrey's destination wedding on the fabulous Caribbean island of Anguilla ...
I don't know where you live...but where I am, it's raining and gross outside. And it's gray. Which I hate. So I thought we could brighten everyone's day by sharing a wedding that is anything but gray. It's sunny, and vibrant and full of the most gorgeous colors I think I have ever seen. All captured beautifully by the wonderfully talented KT Merry. Whose work has literally added a little ray of sunshine to my day.
