We know that many of you have moved on to spring, but as we've said, we are still falling in love with just about every single winter wedding we come across. The romance factor is always OFF the charts. This Winter Wonderland photo shoot from an awesome crew of Sun Valley wedding gurus is no exception. How amazing are all the different shades of blue playing against the snow? Hillary Maybery was able to capture all the brilliant colors...
Wedding trends are constantly a-changing. One thing that has not changed? You still need to find somewhere to register for gifts. Many couples are already up to their noses in kitchen appliances and dishes! (Lucky Ducks!) So what’s a soon-to-be-wed to do? We introduce to you… Deposit a Gift. They are an incredibly user-friendly alternative to traditional registries that allows your friends and fam to contribute monetary gifts...
We are just now getting the BEST winter weddings and photo shoots in our mailboxes! And although some of you girls who live where it's STILL snowing might think you want to move on ~ we REALLY don't. Not just yet. This next week, on The Little Black Book Blog, we have a few more weddings from those brave souls who adore the snow and pray for a bushel of it on their wedding day. How else will they get those winter-wonderland-shots that they've always dreamed of? Here's a peek at what's in the...
It's the first Friday of Spring and we sure hope you have a little spring in your step after this week of gorgeous weddings. It truly never gets old for us and we love spending week after pretty week with all of y'all. So even though we are sending you into another weekend, have no fear - we will be here bright and early Monday morning, coffee in hand ready to deliver all the pretty you can possibly handle. And to carry you out into your day off, here is one, last heart-stopping...
I am a bit at a loss for words for this next feature. Which is rare considering that I spend my life coming up with just the right words to describe every perfect wedding detail that we share on SMP. But this one is different. It's a collaboration between three people that are kind of like the Queens-of-All-Things-Gorgeous, and I literally dropped my jaw when I saw what they had come up with. Event designer Lisa Vorce of...
I like to think of Savannah as being beautifully timeless. Maybe it's the Spanish moss clinging to the old oak trees, or perhaps it's the slower pace of living. It could be the copious amounts of delicious sweet tea available. Whatever it is, Savannah's vintage charm was the perfect backdrop for this gorgeous wedding from Tricia Huddas & Co Events. The bride and groom drove off into the sunset in a classic 1956 Corvette, and we're...
The husband of wife team behind Desi Baytan Photography have completely made our Friday with their most recent engagement shoot at the Santa Monica Pier. It is filled to the brim with light hearted moments, fun-filled scenery, a knock-out dress and the kind of adorable chemistry you can't fake. This cute couple is the real deal and if their engagement session is any indication of what's to come, we can't wait to see their big day.
Planning a summertime wedding with an outdoor reception would be a daunting task to many. Downright impossible in some parts of the country. But for this couple, it was literally a dream come true. The fact that their family has property in West Virginia, there's a quaint little white church right down the road, and they had the wedding planning expertise of the lovely ladies at Atrendy Wedding in their back...
With the Royal Wedding just around the corner, this English garden inspiration photographed by uber talent, Jessica Claire is just the thing to get us in a tea-sipping, wonderful hat wearing kind of mood. Of course, we're ALWAYS in the mood for a little gorgeous photo shoot gazing and all the fabulous details crafted by Lindye Galloway Events make for one pretty, pretty...
I love Dan and Natalie of Watson Studios. For many reasons, but on the top of my list is their ability to capture the very essence of the couple's personality in each and every wedding I've seen from them. So you know when they were asked to capture the wedding of their dear friend in the gorgeous mountains of North Carolina, it was going to be a good one. Well folks, it turned out better than good. It's all that is lovely about...
I feel the need to preface this wedding with a warning that you may be searching for the nearest jazz lounge as soon as you finish taking everything in. This is definitely one of the coolest and most eclectic celebrations we've seen in a while. The bride wanted something fun and unique, and I'm positive she got it. A downtown Minneapolis ambiance, a sweet ceremony in a pasta bar, and a dark, jazzy reception in a sexy club are the ingredients to this striking wedding. They were even lucky...
Over here at SMP we love unique fashion and we looove customized details. Which is why we are completely and totally obsessed with Franklin + Gower. With most fashion-attention going to the bride and her maids, this new style studio has made it their mission to take care of your guy and his best buds, adding style and flair to the other side of the aisle. To sum it up, we're in love. And you’re about to see why. Oh, and they...
Be prepared to have some serious wedding venue envy! Sutherland Kovach Studio sent us this gem all the way from New Zealand with stunning views of Auckland and the Hauraki Gulf. The whole affair has a casual, backyard feel to it but still shines with elegance. I love the wild, garden party arrangements and handcrafted details made out of vintage paper. ...
Oh my goodness, are you ready for the most glamorous Hindu/Catholic wedding you've ever seen? I'm serious, this multicultural event from the amazing Joseph at IQ Photo is just that. Drop dead gorgeous. The multiple culturally rich ceremonies are fittingly accompanied by some of the most vibrant pink I have ever laid eyes on. I have not been able to pick my jaw up off my desk since I first laid eyes on this amazing celebration!
From the looks of this lovely Toronto wedding, not all backyards are created equal. This particular outdoor space seems perfectly suited for a garden celebration and Aga and Marcin of AGAiMAGES captured it beautifully with the help of their friend Scott of Capturing the Light. See what happens when three amazing photographers come together to shoot one amazing backyard...
This Northern California wedding brings together everything we love about backyard weddings. There are loads of handmade details, a breathtaking setting and two creative, cuties at the center of it all. Shannon Montez's gorgeous, light-filled images exude romance and capture the laid-back elegance of the day. ...
Everything about this California wedding by Amanda Thiessen Photography, set on the sandy shores of Laguna Beach, is just all kinds of pretty. Soft, feminine details and vintage touches are sure to weaken the knees of our inner girlie girls. But my favorite part of this beach bash? The glowing, happy faces of the gorgeous bride and groom and their two cutie pups! ...
Let me just preface this pretty wedding by saying that each and every time we feature nuptials in the golden fields of Sonoma, our socks are completely rocked right off. It could be the generous amounts of California sun or maybe it's something in the water out there. Who knows. We're too busy gawking at the lovely pictures from Sasha Gulish Photography and the flowers, oh the flowers – those pretty petals are courtesy of...
Ever wonder what happens when three of our rockstar Little Black Book members get together and collaborate on one event? It looks a little something like this incredible Santa Monica beach wedding! Fiore Beauty did their part to help the bride and her ladies look drop dead gorgeous, Vanilla Bake Shop provided the drool-worthy cake, and...
A pair of Vivienne Westwood heels, a yummy croquembouche, funky terrarium centerpieces and two insanely gorgeous dresses? We may have just found the perfect blend of ingredients for a totally chic, rock n' roll wedding! I love the gothic meets fashionista vibe of this Texas affair from Anna Routh Photography. A dance party at the House of Blues is the only way to cap off this rock star evening. ...
