So, grab that cup of coffee, put those phones on silent and get ready for a morning, noon and night of pure wedding magic. It's going to be fabulous.
Up first in our pretty parade is a breathtaking Connecticut affair that will turn your...
When it comes to the PERFECT location for a Florida engagement session, it doesn't get much sweeter (or more fabulous!) than a beautiful orange grove. Acres upon acres of the world's sweetest smelling fruit mixed with glorious oak trees and an amazingly sunny Lake County day?!? Yes. Please. Amalie Orrange Photography captured it all to absolute perfection, with image after glorious image of a bride and groom...
There is so much about this wedding (captured by Billy Farrel and Caroline Owens Photography) I am obsessed with. SO much. Let's start with the gowns though, shall we? Because as a person who just can't get enough of a good party dress, this wedding is SO up my alley. Tibi (how much do you...
We've been celebrating the genius of Elizabeth Messina all day in honor of her stunning new book that hit the shelves today (with a giveaway right here on SMP) and we're capping off the day with a gorgeous bang. A stunning Laguna Beach wedding that Elizabeth captured with fine art status. And a couple that literally can't stop...
We are lucky to include Cliff Mautner Photography as a talented photographer in our fabulous Little Black Book. His work is just so beautiful. It always evokes such a scale of lovely emotions. Any bride would be lucky to have him behind the camera on her big day. This bride included. Cliff captured the family, the celebration, and the love like no one else could have. See...
By now you can probably tell that we are proud members of the Elizabeth Messina fan club at SMP. Very proud. Sing it from the rooftops proud. So when she offered to giveaway her GORGEOUS book, The Luminous Portrait, to one very lucky SMP reader, we jumped. Because we know you are all proud members of the...
Can I let you in on little secret? Elizabeth Messina is my girl crush. Sure, Kate Middleton or maybe Jennifer Aniston might be more popular as far as girl crushes go, but for me it's Messina all the way. Not only is she talented beyond anything I will ever understand (her images have literally taken my breath away before - no lie), but she is also caring, compassionate and gorgeous on top of it all. So when I got the chance to ask her a...
It's no secret that we L.O.V.E. ourselves some pretty little details here on SMP - and when it comes to those pretty little details, well... we absolutely adore a bride and groom who aren't afraid to think outside the box. And that's why we can't get enough of Weddingstar, the sweet online boutique offering up a plethora of guest book alternatives - and that perfect twist on the traditional you've been looking for. From...
I've always loved the idea of using peacock feathers as a kicking off point for wedding inspiration but after hearing what this lovely bride found in her research about what the peacock symbolizes - eternal love - I am now a die-hard fan for life. The ranch wedding she created with her beloved using the peacock feather inspiration for her jewel-toned color palette, corsages and centerpieces brings a vibrant elegance that complements the beautiful rustic backdrop perfectly. Sophie Murdoch...
When it comes to planning your big day, it seems you really can't go wrong with a reception at Ouisie’s Table. This fab (and oh-so-chic) Houston location really knows how to throw a sophisticated soiree - and I go all caps GAGA every time I see them pop up on my computer screen. Add to that some seriously stunning images by Ben Q. Photography, a downright gorgeous gown...
I've been toying with the idea of taking a little trip to see pretty-as-can-be-Portugal with my very own eyes for quite some time now, and this stun.ning wedding by Michele Beckwith Photography has officially made me decide that a trip to this gorgeous place is a MUST. No question. And I owe my decision to this couple and their ah-mazing style - I just can't get enough! So although I won't be taking that trip anytime soon, I will be...
Elegant and simple. Two words the bride used to describe her wedding day, and two words we overwhelmingly agree with. But I have a few more to add. Breathtaking. Permagrin inducing. Butterflies in the stomach beautiful. Modern but soft. And phenomenal. The entire wedding, as seen by 39 East Photography, is awe-inspiring and gorgeous. The ENITRE wedding....
Clear those schedules wedding mavens. We have a day chock full of Elizabeth Messina and this Queen of Photography is sharing everything from jaw-dropping gowns to her brand new book + a giveaway and right on through to a lovely real wedding. It's Messina Madness. But first, we're diving head long into layers of Dreamy McDreaminess in the form of short dresses, long dresses, pretty dresses, so freaking fabulous we want to eat them...
I am full on, head over heels in love with this wedding. When I laid eyes on this beauty captured to perfection by yazy jo and planned down to the very last detail by Bliss Weddings and Events my heart started to pitter patter and the butterflies in my stomach began to flutter like never before. It's outdoor elegance perfectly executed - with a boat transfer to the...
Oh.my.goodness, do we have some seriously exciting news to share with you today, SMPers. Yep, the ever-amazing Rue La La is here to give us an exclusive sneak peak of their upcoming STYLE I Do! Boutique - and if that isn't cause for a virtual dance...
When a Texas Hill Country venue this fabulous opens it's doors, the first wedding to grace the property need be extra special. Chic and stylish to match the decor. This fabulous fête, as seen by Dustin Meyer, could not have been a more perfect match. The all-white floral design from Verbena Floral Design so perfectly compliments the French-inspired...
Get ready to be wowed in a big way. To be completely inspired to the point your mind is floating with fabulous for the rest of the day (or week even). Because we haven't stopped gushing since Wedding Nouveau sent over this pick-your-jaw-off-the-floor gorgeous shoot beautifully captured by Picotte Weddings from their new Spring Revival Issue. It's luxe, cultural and overflowing...
After originally deciding to opt out of an engagement pics, one meeting with the the oh-so-talented MMG Photo + Cinema and these Sydney lovebirds had a total change of heart. The result? A fabulous day filled with glorious images, a beyond charming picnic and whole lot of F.U.N. I'm dying over every last love-filled photo, the serious chicness (hello bow tie!) and those sweet, sweet chalkboard messages. Oh, and that...
We know how much you lovelies seriously adore Shopbop.com and their stop-you-in-your-tracks Wedding Boutique, so we just had to take a break from all of the real wedding festivities this afternoon to remind you of the uber-fabulous anniversary celebration they are holding...
After feasting my eyes on this piece of love shoot perfection, I am most definitely making my sweetie do an anniversary shoot with me this year. I mean, how adorable is this? Just the two of them, the talented lens of Diana Marie Photography and a whole lot of love - and it all resulted in a full gallery that will convince you to book a little session...
