Today's lineup has seen its share of sparkle, short little numbers and a floral dress or two but now we are going to head down the vintage route and spend...

"O Canada! Our home and native land!" Sorry I had to do it...with the Boston Bruins playing the Vancover Canuks, I hear the Canadian national anthem every other night in my house. And I think it's really cool, especially when the crowd takes over. Anyway, enough about hockey! This pretty, patriotic couple got married at the iconic La Cathédrale Notre-Dame and held their reception at the National Gallery of Canada. Filmed by...
Confession: I think it's super cool when a bride says to heck with tradition and trades in the standard white dress for one that's fun and floral-y or even black for that matter. Why not, right? I'd love be at a wedding like that because you know it's gonna be tons of fun and secretly I just want to see the look on all the guests faces as the bride comes down the aisle. But...
This next wedding is for all you DIY brides and anyone who wants to incorporate a little vintage feel into their nuptial day bliss. This crafty bride managed to do all the decor for the reception AND somehow found the time to design and sew her nieces, aka the cutest flower girls ever, their very own couture dresses for the big day. I love it! And there to capture all the craftiness was none other than Blush Photography.
What is not to love about a beach wedding? Seriously, I can't think of a single thing. The sweet colors of the ocean, sky, and sand, the gentle breeze, the gorgeous sunsets. Beach nuptials are probably the best. Ever. Like this New Jersey affair. They felt the allure of the water, and no surprise, a FAB wedding followed. Lucky for us, Kay English Photography captured it all with her signature style - and the swooning continues.
Look no further than Kelly Oshiro's perfectly crafted sensibilities for a Mid-Summer Night's Dream infused wedding that is rocking our socks off. And believe us, this is not your typical ballroom affair. We are talking gilded chairs, sequined linens and a slew of fabulous florals all documented for our adoring eyes by Kirsten Ellis of Beaux Arts Photographie.
I love the laid back feel of this next New Zealand wedding. It's like Goldilocks and the Three Bears...everything is juuuuust right! The couple is beyond adorable, the down under venue spectacular, and of course, who doesn't just love some groomsmen in bowties? Captured by the talented Danelle Bohane, this wedding is the sweetest little fairy tale I ever did see.
We are always on the hunt for great bridesmaid gifts ideas to share with you, our fabulous readers, and so we about fell out of our chairs when we saw these super adorable robes by Doie Lounge. We cannot think of a more comfy or stylish way to get all dolled up with your gal pals on the big day than by donning these fabulous creations, which will add a touch of glamour to an already magical day.

Where to begin, where to begin. Let me start off by saying that the florals in this fabulously festive affair by Bouquets of Austin are just be-yond. It's bouquet perfection for this Austin soiree if you ask me, and even if you don't ask me - I think/know you'll agree. Ku Photography snapped all of the fabulous shots, and each and every one made me completely fall in...
Happy Wedding Wednesday New Yorkers! I am going to shake things up a bit here because I know there are so many of you out there, and I sorta kinda want to have a chance to meet you all in some way, shape or form. So I thought it might be a good idea to start inspiring each other. So here's what I'm thinking - I'll show you an inspiration board of a wedding that is floating around in my head. A wedding that screams "I'm 100% ALL New York". Then you can create one using...
There is just something about Docuvitae. Every wedding they touch just works. Remember this gem? It doesn't matter if they're in the middle of nowhere capturing a intimate, DIY wedding or in a big, busy city, working their magic on a luxe, elaborate affair, simply put, they create magic. So when this California wedding hit my inbox, I...

First up is the easiest, breeziest most down to earth...
Get ready to be transported to the sunshine state with a bright and cheery Tequesta wedding by Vitalic Photo. We love celebrations in all kinds of venues - ballrooms, barns - but there is something so intimate and charming about a backyard wedding. And if the golden DIY flower arrangements don't make you smile then wait until you lay eyes on the two adorable dachshunds that escorted this beaming bride down the aisle. ...
Bow ties are having a moment right now and I couldn't be more thrilled. These adorable accessories aren't just for the ring bearers anymore either. I love to see a groom get a little daring and don some funky neck wear. Why should the bride have all the fun with her outfit? A bow tie is quite versatile and can work with any wedding style. It can be sophisticated and dapper as we saw in this...
You would think that after four years of blogging about one romantic love story after another, I would be a bit desensitized to all of the mushy stuff. That I might just watch something like this next little gem and not shed a single tear. WRONG. Totally wrong. I sat here like a baby, bawling my eyes out, grinning from ear to ear, clutching my hands together in total glee. It's a proposal story that the holy-cow-fabulous McKenzie Miller of...
Erin Hearts Court + Bali is hands down my new favorite combo so you know a huge amount of gushing is about to ensue. It's all out glamour meets tropical oasis with a heavenly surplus of pretty paper courtesy of Hello Tenfold. A snippet of these gorgeous destination nuptials was featured on...
One of the things we hear the most from our brides-to-be is just how stinkin' difficult it can be to pick your colors. There are so many things to consider when concerning the color palette of their big day. What sort of ambiance you want to portray? What colors will work well with your surroundings? What time of year are you marrying? Does orange really work with your maid of honor's skin tone? It can easily become the topic you least want to discuss. But what are we here for, if not to give...
We just love seeing beautiful, modern weddings here at SMP and I really can't think of a better way to spend the afternoon than with this West Hollywood shindig. Just gazing at these photos gets me all sorts of giddy! It's one part contemporary, one part elegant, and a whole lotta gorgeous! Photographed beautifully by Samuel Lippke and designed by the talented Carolyn at...

Vera Wang, Jimmy Choo, gorgeous sandy shores of Hawaii, pretty pictures by Ray Soemarsono of Apertura? Check, check, check and check. If that's not the beginnings of a beautiful wedding, I just don't know what is. The bright splashes of pink and hints of green against the beautiful Hawaii surroundings are completely squeal-worthy, and there are definitely squeals coming from my end for this entire island affair.
