So often we get caught up in the amazing details of the wedding. Making sure everything is perfect and pretty. And while we definitely think the details of the wedding can be a fabulous way to show off your personality and love in a super sweet, super unique way, the words on the back of the groom's + groomsmen's' ties say it all: Be Happy. We love this wedding from Sweetwater Portraits for reminding us that the biggest, most...

This gem is all about the lace. Gorgeous, intricate, want to cover everything in your path lace. And event planner Carrie Glascock, of A Charleston Bride, totally did. From a gown that fits this Bride like a beautiful glove to a cake that was made to be front and center, this is a Charleston lace fest with a big dose of Southern hospitality ( sweet tea sipping on a rocking chair clad porch included). The images by ...
I'm a lover of all things vintage (aka, completely and totally obsessed), so when AmaraFix Photography sent along this stunning Brooklyn soiree, I almost fell right out of my chair. An insanely gorgeous ode to Old Hollywood, this lovely little number is boasting rich, dark hues, a sophisticated candlelit reception and an Alberto Makali gown that will knock.your.socks.off. Plus...
There's nothing quite like the breathtaking crystal blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico to set the stage for your Big Day... well, that and the oh-so-talented team at URBANcoast. Together they make one VERY fabulous combination of wedding goodness - and this gorgeous Clearwater soiree is the perfect example of what I am talking about. A beautiful blue and green color palette, a stunning ceremony setting and seaside chic every which way you...
This wedding is darling. Pure and simple. Darling down to every last detail - most of which the bride handcrafted herself - with a sense of chic built into the very foundation of the day. Held at the Newport Harbor Yacht Club, it's the kind of wedding that simply makes you smile. Because you can actually feel the love and the happiness and the joy behind every moment, every perfectly crafted touch. And with...
Peonies and sequins seem like a match made in wedding heaven and when you add crisp, contemporary details like ghost chairs and lucite name tags into the mix, it's all out modern romance as seen through the lens of Yasmin Khajavi Photography. Take one idea like sparkling linens or the whole shebang crafted by Zest Floral and Event Design to incorporate into your big day. And this...
Good floral design can stop me in my tracks. A pretty peony, a romantic garden rose, when pulled together in the most fabulous way, can fill your wedding with amazing smells and photographs pretty enough to hang on anyones wall. When Stacy K Floral teams up with Erich Camping, the images are so stunning, I'm dying to hang a few on MY wall.
When it comes time to start crafting your big day, it helps to take a cue from your environment like this Big City number photographed by Katie Osgood Photography. It's a garden wedding with a decidedly urban flair that embodies everything cool about its New York surroundings. From a slew of gourmet truck food to a local restaurant venue just right for cocktailing and dancing the night away, this is the perfect example of a wedding...
Confession time: I got married almost two years ago and I still have all my wedding images on a thumb drive...I printed out a few images here and there, but for the most part, the gorgeous memories I paid so much for are just sitting in a bowl in my dining room hutch. Insane, I know. But now that I know about Blurb, and can easily make my own wedding album, I'm all about...
There's not a day that goes by that I don't fall MADLY in love with a stunning Australian soiree - and today's glorious Sydney affair? Well, it has me downright speechless. A modern gem chock-full of amazing details, it's a crazy cool color palette all wrapped up in breathtaking images by The Follans and one of the most beautiful cakes I have ever laid my eyes upon by ...
For a Bride who adores all things floral, a garden wedding in breath-taking Healdsburg seems like just the fête to compliment the love of pretty petals and the easy elegance of outdoor spaces. Plus, the combination of styling and planning by Lily Spruce, springy florals by Studio Choo and images by ...
Cristina G Photography had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful couple who might as well quit their day jobs and model full-time (I mean, come ON, with that orange dress!) Utilizing the breathtaking views and perfect evening light at North Beach, the couple showcased their love for each other-and their pup, Penny-in this sweet e-session.
I must admit, I have a bit of a crush on this beautiful bride and her retro 60's wedding! It's always refreshing to see when a couple can artfully incorporate their love for vintage yet manage to keep the event feeling classic. Tied Photo & Film did an amazing job capturing this couple's groovy vibe and luckily for you, lovelies...
If ever there was an easy, breezy Bahamas wedding, this my friends, is it. It's the perfect mix of shabby chic and rustic goodness all tied up with some fabulous florals and a super cute shoe check on the beach. If you're planning a beach wedding, you don't wanna miss any of these details! Sara & Rocky Photography captured the gorgeous day perfectly and there's so much more pretty happening...
When KT Merry's name pops up in our inboxes, we always do a little happy dance. OK...a big happy dance. Because we know when we take a peek at her images, prettiness will ensue. Timeless prettiness. Prettiness like this gorgeous Miami wedding. The type of wedding that makes you feel like you need to catch your breath after gawking at all the gorgeous images, and that ultimately ...
Pop out your party hats for this next celebration by Urban Grey Photography. This wedding doesn't just take my breath away with its charming blooms and rustic decor by Central Texas Design House, but the couple kicked things up a notch with an '80s style reception that proves they know how to party hardy. Be sure to head over to the...
Gazing at this cheerful romantic Willowdale Estate wedding makes for one happy Monday morning. This crafty bride in a too-chic BHLDN sheath- who originally thought she was missing the bride gene- DIY'ed the adorable meus, programs, escort cards, signs, and the majorly drool-worthy table numbers. ...
The sweet southern charm mixed with the seriously stylish loft venue of this wedding by Brita Photography could not be a more perfect match. It just could not. It compliments the other perfect match dancing around in this post, and that is the oh-so-adorable duo saying I do. They are just too cute for words, and their personality-filled fête is making for one stylish Monday!
If the first dreamy image from K & K Photography of the big, romantic bouquet of peonies from Botanica International Design Studio is any indication of the rest of this wedding (and OH it is) I don't think I'd be going out on a limb by saying we are ALL in for a treat. With URBANcoast in charge of the rest of the decor...
A big, huge welcome to all the readers popping in to Style Me Pretty after watching the Rachael Ray Show this morning! We were beyond thrilled/humbled/excited when Rachel invited us to roll our sleeves up and get crafty with projects that are so easy, even WE could do them. So we thought we'd take a moment to share a few more bits of gorgeousness that can be found on the pages of SMP...keeping with the Rachael theme of DIY fabulous of...
