Antiquing and thrifting isn't for everyone. But for those of us who can't help but stop at the nearest Estate Sale Saturday morning, to hunt down the prettiest, most special little additions to our homes, it comes only natural to plan a wedding around the seriously loved treasures we find. MDS Floral Designs is in the same boat as I when it comes to this love of all things recycled. When...
Ladies and gents, it's time to pull back the curtain on one of our favorite designers for another installment of our Behind the Scenes series. If there is anything we love more than being inspired, it's seeing what inspires others - particularly when they are uber talented. And uber talented doesn't even begin to describe today's highlighted designer - oh no, we would need a completely new adjective for Elum Designs. They take talent...
I may be a little bit biased since I now call the city of angels home but I'm pretty sure that Los Angeles throws the best modern soirees! Take this Skirball Cultural Center beauty flawlessly put together by Platinum Weddings by Kerrie, for example. You just won't find glamour like this anywhere else! After you finish drooling over these gorgeous images by...
Brace yourselves, SMPers - your world is about to be seriously rocked by a bundle of fabulous contemporary inspiration and a plethora of vibrant neon hues... and, trust me, it's going to be amazing in every.which.way. I'm talking geometric patterns, the sweet stylings of Little Sooti Events and Ham & Pea Design & Paperie and a whole lot of glorious images by ...
Visiting the Windy City ranks hip atop my list of "things I seriously NEED to do" - and this cute as can be engagement session has me thoroughly convinced that frolicking around downtown Chicago is something that just can't wait. A darling duo, sunny blue skies, a Millennium Park lounge session and a sweet stop at Macy's (where these two lovebirds first met!) all makes for one seriously adorable e-shoot, don't you think?!? Thankfully...
We know you lovelies are craving an uber-stylish soiree to wrap up the week and, oh my goodness, do we have just the affair for you. A converted railway station, a pretty pink color palette and bundles upon bundles of DIY goodness as far as the eye can see.... a whimsical wedding paradise, if you will. All captured in brilliant images by Photobox Photography and planned to absolute perfection by the oh-so-stunning bride and groom, we...
My favorite engagement sessions are those where I can see the awesome personalities of the couples shining through each and every image. I feel like I totally get to know this sweet couple through their entire Dallas shoot captured by Ivy Weddings. They are obvious a fun-loving twosome with a great sense of humor, style and complete devotion for one another. ...
I don't think there is a single image from this entire Mexico wedding by Christina Szczupak Photography that isn't completely and utterly stunning. Of course, I imagine that when you have a couple as breathtakingly gorgeous as these two it's pretty impossible to get a bad shot. Plus their simple and sweet wedding is so perfectly suited for the stunning Playa del Carmen setting. ...
What I would give to grow up on a gorgeous farm and later marry in the fields of that gorgeous farm. It's a dream scenario for most Brides-to-Be and for this couple, a wildly magical reality. Photographed by emilie inc., this fête is taking the idea of a backyard wedding and cranking it up a few notches. It's elegance in the wilds of Massachusetts and comes complete with a fur baby in a bow-tie. He goes by Paddington and my oh my is he a...
I am a super fan of the Southern wedding and this gorgeous wedding by Bamber Photography is a shining example. It is the epitome of elegance with a healthy of dose of charm. And how darling is this bride in her Carolina Herrera gown? The entire day, down to the very last detail, is totally radiant. ...
Have you been to Scotland? I went for the first time last Christmas, and fell in love with the gorgeous architecture and the tartan everywhere. This lovely couple was crushing on tartan just as much as I was when they scooped up Signature Events to help design their hometown New Hampshire wedding, and the images from emilie inc. photography have brought me right back to...
One thing that never, ever goes out of style is elegance. Pure and Simple. And Ritzy Bee Events knows how to craft that understated beauty and make it shine throughout an affair. It's the type of wedding that would get the Jackie O style stamp of approval with layers of florals by Holly Heider Chapple Flowers so gorgeous they belong in a royal wedding and a real life...
New York City GLAM. This wedding, captured to perfection by Robert & Kathleen Photographers, is exactly what dances around in my head when I think of a chic, city soiree. The Marchesa gown is enough to make me swoon for days, and when that gown is dancing around on a gorgeous, completely in love Bride in her fit for a princess ballroom wedding, I enter complete wedding...
I am full on convinced that rain on your wedding day brings out not only the best in couples but also makes for some fabulous photos. And when those photos are from Vitalic Photo, it's a fab-photo guarantee. A little sprinkle didn't phase this completely in love duo, if anything I think the grey skies added to this already lovely Key West soiree - and...
The only thing better than a day chock full of Jose Villa is a day full of Jose Villa's images + a beautiful film by his husband Joel Serrato. That is a combo we will never ever get sick of. And with a wedding so gorgeous, we couldn't help but put together a quick guide on how to get the look. It involves layers of tulle, sparkling shoes and gorgeous calligraphy... and we're...
There is no denying today's Jose Villa masterpiece (seen here and here) moved us to the core. So we just couldn't wait to get our hands on the film of...
When a couple is so in love that they are ready to wait 13 years (and longer if they had to) to finally tie the knot, we expect a big, warm, love-filled celebration, which is exactly what we got from this beautiful couple. The two had a whirlwind romance and knew they were perfect together from the very beginning, and then waited almost a decade and a half for New York to allow same sex marriages. And the party that followed? I'm of the opinion, thanks to...
It's no secret that I'm a full on Jose Villa groupie. Like of the Penny Lane Status. It's fine. I'm not embarrassed. He's genius and I'm officially starting his first legit fan club. Case in point? Today's featured wedding. With photography so full of gorgeousness I would seriously print these out and hang them on my wall even though this is definitely not my wedding. They are just that lovely. Add to Jose's work, a...
It's true. You've been dreaming of that destination wedding since before you were even engaged. The sun, the sand and a days-long celebration with your nearest and dearest - you can't imagine it any other way. But, now that the time has finally arrived to start planning your dream affair, well, you're not even sure where to begin. Thankfully...
I'm a chatty gal - and when it comes to weddings, I could talk all.day.long. But, when I laid my eyes on this stunning Sonoma affair captured ever-so-brilliantly by Flory Photo and Nirav Photography, well... I lost the ability to speak. The intimate garden setting, the sophisticated florals by ...
