I don't know about you lovelies, but I can barely believe we're wrapping up the first full week of August - it seems like just yesterday we were welcoming Summer with open arms. Well, we're not quite ready to let go of Summer just yet and to celebrate we've even got a full line up of Al Fresco inspiration on Sunday's SMP Home Edition... And since we plan on celebrating these last days of warm weather in grand fashion...
If your week has been anything like my week, it's been hot and humid, yet oh-so-pretty. And if you spent it on LBB blog, I know at least half of that is right - because we've had a VERY pretty week. For those of us who are craving just a little more pretty before heading out into our weekend, and especially for those of us who need a little escape from the heat, we have the sweetest, dancing in the rain engagement session from...
They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, and I totally get that, but on any given day, I'll settle for peonies and stripes. That's really all it takes for this blogger to go from calm and collected to embarrassingly excited. Like squealing excited. And that's precisely what happen with Gem Photo sent over this dazzler. Because if there is one style that just makes me giddy as can be - it's classic with a twist, and when you combine that...

We loved our Colorado wedding this morning so very much, that when Bluebird Productions sent over a snowy soiree they planned in Aspen, we had to make it a Rocky Mountain State kind of day on the LBB Blog. What you are about to see is not just a beautiful wedding, but is a snow-covered...
Three cheers for this stylish bride and her stop-in-your-tracks GORGEOUS headpiece! Simply Stunning. While we are at it, let's give her a few more cheers - because let's be real, it is be-YOND.

Happy Friday, lovelies! Let's take a break from the smoldering summer heat and escape to the breezy beaches of St. John!

Monique Lhuiller gown as well as her maid's peachy-numbers by...

A brunch at The Teahouse in Stanley Park to celebrate their love and a homemade masterpiece that is oh-so-adorable! This bride has covet-worthy DIY skills that are simply off the charts.

Hook, line and natural hue-loving sinker. Want to create a similar look for your next forest-inspired fête? Well, there's a fab garland DIY waiting for you...
The bride went barefoot; bluegrass music played, and sunshine and suspenders were the name of the game! I absolutely love an honest-to-goodness southern country wedding which is EXACTLY what this wedding was in every shape and form. Many of the details, including the flower bouquets, masen jars AND the bride's wedding dress (amazing, right??) were homemade. The couple picked the perfect venue for this intimate and laid-back affair, ...
