If there is one request that we get over and over again, it's a plea for more ballroom weddings. After all, most of us aren't blessed with picture perfect, bright and sunny weather and taking a chance on an outdoor reception is, well, impossible. So when I saw this adorable fete designed by the always ingenious Heather Balliet of Amorology, I nearly fell off my chair. Heather approached a simple ballroom with the same charm and...

Oh so sweet is a phrase that comes to mind with this next wedding, sent to us by the lovely photographer Jenn Cress. The details are simple and the love is apparent which really made for the most charming day. Besides, who doesn't love a mason jar I ask you? How about dozens all lined up in a row? I know I'm a HUGE fan. This outdoor wedding took place on Harriet Island in Minnesota with views of the river and the St. Paul skyline and...
We've featured a pretty creative bunch of brides this week, wouldn't you say? I love Thursday's story of a bride who dreamed of a rooftop wedding, but due to limited venues in her area, chose to hold their reception at the top of a trendy parking garage. Genius! This is what Style Me Pretty is all about and we can tell by the reader comments that you all appreciate these unique alternatives, as well. We would love to hear how you overcame a challenge while planning your own wedding, and...
I am in awe of what the vendors behind our From Inspiration to Reality feature have done to date. More than in awe really. I am excited, humbled, thrilled, shocked (in a good way) and always surprised by what they bring to the table. And this photoshoot, inspired by...
I am just going to dive right into today's featured From Inspiration to Reality Shoot by the FAB Megan Fickling of La Partie Events and Sweet Monday Photography's adorable (and crazy talented) duo April and Lindsey. Because really, the photographs all speak for themselves...and their absolutely perfect, totally girly, totally chic perfection. To see...
Okay, kids. Now is the time to grab that cup of coffee and find a very comfortable seat. And if you're at work and there is no such thing as a comfortable seat, just make sure your boss can't see you because you are going to be swooning hard in one very short second. This shoot was put together by Megan Fickling of La Partie Events, along with Lindsey and April Killingsworth of...
Today is ALL about eye candy. Really gorgeous, really girly, really REALLY perfect eye candy. It's time for another From Inspiration to Reality shoot! But before we get to the incredible details and design that Megan Fickling of La Partie Events, along with Lindsey and April Killingsworth of...
First of all, let me start by saying, I love this wedding in a big way no matter the venue, but when I found out it was in a parking garage, I literally almost fell out of my chair. It is the PERFECT example of how just a bit of creativity can transform the most unlikely sites into someone's dream. Lacey shares more below as to how the location came to be, but first let's just revel in the glorious details caught in action by the too talented for words, Hannah Bergman, of...
We don't have a ton of details on this next wedding but to be honest...we couldn't hold off on featuring. Photographed by one of THE best studios, Union Photography, this wedding is so insanely beautiful it's almost hard to believe it's real. It is this amazing combination of joy, style and whimsy with elements that are utterly gorgeous in their tradition and yet still feel really fresh and new. To say LOVE would hardly be doing it justice.
Once upon a time, I was an Interior Designer. This was, of course, before I discovered the lure of weddings. Lucky for me, these two worlds share many similarities and this photo shoot is the perfect example. Summer Watkins of Grey Likes Weddings teamed up with T & H Photography to create a table-scape based on the interior styling of Eddie Ross and the end...
I am taking a much needed mini-vacation to balmy and beautiful Hillsboro Beach, Florida! I SO wanted to have the post ready from Eliza & Jeff's STUNNING wedding in Anguilla ... but I ran out of time!! So please check back next week for all the exquisite details from Elegant Occasions, Navy & Lavender...
If you read SMP, you might know that although Boston is where I lay my head at night, Texas is really the only place that feels like home. So whenever a really great Texas wedding comes across my desk, my heart does a little pitter patter. And Suzi Q is one of Austin's best, really one of the world's best, so obviously...I couldn't wait to share today's first wedding with you. It's colorful, it's unique, it's not at all cookie cutter.
I love giveaways. Love them. The idea that one of you lucky ladies (or gents) has the chance to win some fabulous prize by some fabulous artist is well...awesome. And this giveaway definitely takes the cake as one of the best ones yet. The wonderful little design house known as Papeterie (which is for sure an SMP favorite) is gifting FIVE lucky readers each a $200 gift certificate which can be used toward anything on their site!
Our final pit stop on the engagement session train is with uber cute couple Erica and Benji. This lovely duo traipsed around Beachwood Canyon with their friend and photographer extraordinaire, Tamar Levine. The Hollywood sign made for a beautiful backdrop but my favorite element hands down...the lips. Although, the name candles are pretty cute too. Hmmm, tough call on the faves, but none the less this is one super duper gorgeous walk...
Sarah Yates happens to be one of my ALL TIME favorite photographers. Her work is so dreamy and magical and this next set of engagement photos is no exception. There are no balloons, no bicycles... just a handsome couple, fields for days and insane light. Farah and Izhat traveled all the way from Singapore to shoot their engagement session with Sarah and I think it was well worth the long flight.
Oh Engagement Sessions, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways – for your textured tights, your cute as a button couples and your fun vintage props. Feel the love? I definitely do. Wedding season must be upon us because we are filled to the brim with adorable engagement sessions on SMP today. Starting off the e-athon are Brittney and Kenny captured by Kristen Marie Photography. The couple wanted a 40's vibe mixed with a more...
Engagement shoots have become one of my own personal favorites to share with you guys! As I go through the images, I try to imagine which of the shots will end up displayed on the couple's walls. MANY times, I can imagine them on my own walls!! The scenery is ALWAYS gorgeous and the couples' love for each other is SO obvious. They're always such feel good moments. So, today's featured couple ~ Annie and Kevin ~ from one of our favorite LBB photographer's ~...
We feature a ton of really girly weddings on SMP with pretty details that are as sweet as they are chic. But, traditionally "pretty" isn't the only style that we love. In fact, we kind of fall in love over and over again with wedding after wedding. Whether it's modern, whether it's vintage, whether it's...
This wedding has been written up in a handful of glossies, but when Belathee sent me the full spread...I couldn't resist sharing even more images. They were just too lovely to not be plastered all over Style Me Pretty. It's the wedding of Il Divo's David Miller and actress Sarah Joy Kabanuck and is absolutely, positively one of the loveliest weddings I've ever seen. Romantic, elegant...
Boy oh boy, are you girls in for a treat. Beyond a treat. You are in for one of the most beautiful days we've ever had on Style Me Pretty, which says a lot since I try so hard to make every day really beautiful on SMP. The cute, cute, way-too-talented duo over at Belathee sent us today's featured affair. And when I tell you that it's gorgeous. Well, that's kind of like the understatement of the century. Designed by the FABulous...
