You all should know by now that we're huge advocates of engagement sessions AND first look sessions. Now we have another favorite ... day after sessions! When the guests are gone and the dust has settled ~ when you're finally able to relax as newlyweds ... AND you get to wear that gown of yours one more time! What an example we have in store for you! From Allie and Brian at Callaway Gable, an...
Vintage amber, honey and wheat - sounds like a delicious color palette if you ask me, and it produced the most drool-worthy Louisiana wedding for you to devour this lovely Wednesday. Catherine Guidry was there to capture all the sweetness and the personal details told their story seamlessly. But don't forget...
It's Wednesday morning which means we have a FULL day of pretty weddings up our sleeves – everything from rooftop soirees to backyard shindigs and maybe even a ranch wedding or two. There's nothing like a mid-week pretty fest to get the blood pumping. And if the sneak peak of images makes your heart pitter-patter, just click on the gallery to see the whole wedding and a lot more pitter-pattering.
We are going to start things off in Tennessee and to say we have a major crush on this...
And speaking of the fabulousness that is Laura Hooper...apparently, good taste runs in the family. Since we are celebrating Laura's soon-to-be nuptials, we thought we'd also share with you this little shindig that Laura and Beth Helmstetter put together for her sister's rehearsal dinner. It's gorgeousness defined and yet another example of just how talented these two...
It is easy to fall in love with this next wedding. The amazing florals from Denise Fasanello Floral Design make it so. They provide a could-not-be-more-perfect jumping off point for the deep, rich colors of this Brooklyn affair. Add views of the Brooklyn Bridge, a ceremony as culturally rich as those flowers are perfect, and a bride with a stunning smile, and what you have is an absolutely perfect wedding.
I'm a self professed Laura Hooper stalker. I love, love, love her calligraphy work and from the looks of it, everyone else does too. I bet that if we crawled all of the past events we've featured on SMP, Laura's name would come up the most because, well...she's just that good. So when I heard that she is getting hitched in a few months, I just about burst with wedding joy. And if her engagement party, designed by the fabulous...
I just ADORE the folks that get married at Holman Ranch. It seems the lovely California ranch attracts some of the most stylish duos. This rustic, yet elegant fall wedding designed and planned by Soiree by Simone definitely stays true to my theory. It's fall wedding style at it's finest. And may I just say, that fabulous pergola-covered king's table has me swooning -...
Spring is right around the corner, but if you're still looking for something wonderfully warm to thaw you out, we've got just the right thing for you today. This beautiful mountain wedding, set at the breathtaking Della Terra Mountain Chateau, is the epitome of warmth. Take your time getting lost in the lush mountain views, bright Colorado sun, and gorgeous nature filled details, from the amazing, award-winning...
If there is one brand that knows color inside and out it's Lilly Pulitzer and now they have made their way into the world of bridesmaid dresses and we couldn't be happier. In fact, if you listen closely, you can hear the hip hip hoorays of maids across the country. So we are going to take a quick fashion time-out and give you a little sneak peek at some of the fab designs from our newest member of the Look Book family. Seriously...
Is it just me or is there always something spectacular about an Austin wedding? They are the perfect blend of the traditional and the extraordinary. Take this French-inspired garden fete by Brett Buchanan Wedding Photojournalism, for example. Would you ever expect this dashing groom to be rocking out on an electric guitar by the end of the night (with his son on the drums)? Yeah, me neither but that's just one of the...
Boy do we have a treat for those of you with a certain love for late summer blooms. This September wedding from La Petite Fleur is blossoming with fun florals, in such energetic colors, that is sure to beat your Monday afternoon blues. The green apple, mango, and plum pallet looks good enough to eat. And that dress! Even more sophisticated florals. Sit back, smell the flowers, and enjoy this sweet, simple...
The story of the gorgeous Lhuillier gown continues at this romantic coastal wedding and, once again, the talented Gia Canali was there to capture the event. Not many dresses get to live through two magical evenings so different and yet still oh-so beautiful. This affair is cozy, intimate and completely elegant with fun jewel-tone hues and, of course, that showstopper of a dress! ...
We have such a cool story for your afternoon viewing pleasure along with not one but TWO gorgeous weddings photographed by the ever so talented Gia Canali. The two brides behind these pretty affairs also happen to be besties who came up with the brilliant idea of sharing their wedding dress, a breathtaking Monique Lhuillier number. And what followed was two totally unique and insanely lovely weddings. Pretty brilliant, right? The first...
We feature beautiful wedding after beautiful wedding here on SMP and frequently get questions on where to find all the fabulous decorations that make each wedding unique. Well look no further SMP'ers - if you don't know about Luna Bazaar already it's time to bookmark their resourceful site. For me (and many others), Luna Bazaar is the go-to source for all the pretty little details that make real weddings really pop with personality.
This awesome mountain wedding can definitely be filed under "Cute as a Button." From the gondola ride, to the sunglasses, to the many shades of turquoise, this wedding screams fun! The couple, as well as their friends and family, learned the true meaning of DIY with this darling affair. Make sure to spend a few minutes catching the adorable highlights from I Do Films, but first check out the gorgeous views from...
I couldn't have asked for a better back-to-the-trenches wedding than this one, photographed by one of our all time favorite duos, Erin Hearts Court. It's beyond. Seriously beyond. And it has single-handedly inspired me to dive right back into all of the wedding goodness that I left when our newest addition came along. So brace yourself for some serious gushing people...from the insane color palette that screams style, to the vibrant...
Well. Although it's been 12 perfect weeks of baby bliss, I am finally ready to crawl out of my little baby hole and get back to all of this wedding gorgeousness that I've been missing. William is now a strapping 12 pounds, 6 ounces and although he surprised us by coming 5 weeks early, he has settled quite beautifully into that three month old, chubby goodness. So before we get to today's weddings, I thought I would take a moment to formally introduce the newest member of the SMP family...
First of all, we want to applaud Hannah and John for embracing the rich, warm seasonal colors of autumn! From Orchard Cove Photography, this brilliant celebration at The Central Park Boathouse is a glorious reminder that fall weddings are spectacular!!
We...

Cindy Vandegrift is the creative genius behind our first advertiser...
We can almost hear the joyous cheers and clapping for the impending weekend and believe us, we are right there with you all. Who doesn't love a little rest and relaxation? We have another reason to celebrate though. Come Monday, our very own Abby Larson is coming back to work. Yipee! And wait until you see the wedding she is starting things off with. Gorgeous doesn't even begin to describe it. We'll throw you a little preview courtesy of the phenomenal...
