Nothing says Spring like loads of fresh florals and a palette of airy pastels and this Australia wedding is bringing both to the SMP table. Girl Friday Weddings crafted an easy, breezy affair full of fun, vintage details and the bride even got in on the act. This glovelette wearing Australian beauty was responsible for all of the flower adornments. Pretty impressive, no? I don't think this wedding could possibly be...

We have discovered the absolute dream team for a beautiful Arkansas wedding. This couple started their big day prep with the talented group at Wiley Valentine, designing the perfect invitations for this botanical inspired wedding. And because this bride wanted a funky foliage ambiance to accompany the most special day of her life, she brought in Designs by Tanarah, the...
This wedding, in my humble opinion, is exactly what a late summer wedding should be: full of gorgeous, bright flowers; overflowing with delicious, cold lemonade; set outdoors in an artisan vineyard; and captured perfectly by Anne Robert, an obvious genius. And if that isn't enough for you, there's the most amazing Ikat fabric (think tasteful tie-dye), picked out by the amazing talents at...

Something I bet you guys didn't know. For my own wedding, I asked our florist to cover anything and everything in glitter. Clear, delicate glitter that would catch the light of the chandeliers perfectly. And she did! She actually rolled our vases in glitter so that the sparkle would light up the whole room. And it was magical. I get that it sounds completely tacky, but you'd have to see it to really believe how pretty it was. Well, this next soiree satisfies all of my girly, glittery, full of...

We're swooning over the toothache sweet images from ...
I liken Santa Barbara to a little slice of beachy heaven, complete with sunshine for days. And if that combo isn't a dream spot for a wedding, then I don't know what is – especially if the bride and groom happen to be avid surfers.

Okay, I have a confession to make. There are two things in this world that I go totally, insanely nerdy over: Dogs and backyard weddings...And this next little charmer happens to have both of those. So upon seeing this, I immediately began squealing like a school girl! And then I saw the flowers, the amazing backyard, the sparklers, and yes, the bucket-full of Coronas, and I was officially in backyard wedding heaven. This intimate, elegantly casual celebration was captured beautifully by...

Well our friends over at Macy’s are making registering even more fabulous with their Registry Star Rewards Registry. Star Rewards basically give you back reward dollars in the form of a gift card for purchases that are made by you or for...
Lake Tahoe seems to be the up and coming hot spot for destination nuptials. When you think about it, it totally makes sense...

Waterfront brides take note! This beautiful wedding, captured by the talented Johnstone Studios, is the perfect vacation for your...

An overlying theme of being "lucky in love" welcomed all of...
