Mint, sea foam, spring green - whatever you may call it, I've developed a serious color crush on the fresh and fabulous hue.

Using the bride's family history of citrus farming as inspiration, this adorable California couple showered their big day with bright pops of color and vintage details, creating an intimate "small town" feel.

And really, how could I not mention the...

If the thought of scrapping the big party has ever crossed your mind, the following elopement at The Prairie in Round Top, Texas may cause you to pull the trigger. This sunny venue epitomizes Shabby Chic, maybe because it's owned by the brand's founder, Rachel Ashwell. What's better than a stunning bride in a ruffle laden Vera Wang gown jumping on a bed before saying her I-do's? Perhaps the groom joining her for a second...

It's a little Anthropologie-inspired, a little rustic chic and a whole lot of fabulous! ...

A beautiful wedding comes in so many shapes and sizes. It can be big and grandiose or, in this case, a sweet, understated whisper of a thing. And seaside Connecticut is probably the most perfect spot on the planet for this type of affair. It's all quaint and charmy and is matched perfectly by everything from the lovely floral halo by Hana Floral Design to the elegance and ease in ...
I love New York. So much so I would proudly strut around in one of those touristy t-shirts, not only because the city is fabulous but also because the weddings never fail to be out of this world amazing. Breathtaking beauties that keep setting the bar higher and higher. Exquisite Affairs Productions is bringing us such a beauty this morning, and thanks to...
Okay, lovelies. It's time to get a little crazy here on SMP Florida. Well... not so much crazy as super inspirational and uber-gorgeous, but you get my point - we are about to have a TON of fun. Why, you ask? Well, we thought we'd jump start your weekend with a brand new Inspire Me Pretty Florida contest, which means a Saturday and Sunday spent perusing the SMP galleries AND crafting your FL dream day. Fabulous, no?!? Plus, to top it all off, we have an amazing prize for one of you...
We've been oohing and ahhing all afternoon thanks to this pretty little party that just happens to be the wedding of one of the talents behind A.a.B. Creates. It's a New York stunner if we've ever seen one, and when we heard there were a few fabulous DIY's involved, we OBVIOUSLY jumped at the...

We loved this morning's Colorado wedding so much that we've decided to stick with the Rocky Mountain State for the day, and visit Westminster for a very different, just as gorgeous wedding. This time Jenna Walker Photographers has invited us along to her view of this absolutely FAB Hindu wedding.
Whenever a creative in the wedding business throws their own wedding bash, it always (emphasis on the always) gets our wedding love's complete and undivided attention. We fall hard each and every time and this New York affair of one half of A.a.B. Creates and her love is so gush worthy that we're devoting a whole afternoon to its beauty. It's NYC meets an explosion of color and gold glitter. Can you think of anything better? Not I says...
Butterflies are swimming in my stomach over this wedding by Julie Mikos. Each photo brings an "ooh" and "aaah" as it unveils delightful details from the specialty sips to original quotes on the menus. I love how the couple used the serene setting of Napa Valley combined with, what the bride has coined, "rustic-chic" details in their decor. Rustic-chic indeed!
They had us at sage. Between the vintage Chevy and the fresh sprigs on the place settings, they'll have you too after you get a glance of these pretty, partly cloudy Woodnote Photography images. Punches of blood orange florals are the perfect contrast, while the Dromana Estate sets the stage for this sage fest: it's intimate, simple, and edited rustic. Ready to...
