If ever there was a wedding that just oozed pure, beautiful decadence, this is it. With a floral design to die for, a cake that is too pretty to eat (and that's saying something), and a bride in a gown so lovely you probably shouldn't look directly at her, it's a Cinderella wedding if I've ever seen one. Anything from mk Photography's camera is going to be total wedding gold, but this one sparkles in an entirely different way.

We have a doosy coming your way. A doosy by the likes of Jose Villa and Kristeen LaBrot Events that is sheer magic. And one built exclusively for two. We're talking gorgeous, all out Elopement goodness that almost needs an easing into it's so pretty. So that's just what were doing. Easing into the festivities with a little chat with Kristeen about building your own...
Sometimes all it takes is a bundle of pretty red and pink bouquets to brighten your Monday morning. Ones that were expertly crafted by Nine Blooms and are literally overflowing with uber-romantic roses from the bride and groom's very own garden. And when you add to all of that flower power one beautiful moment after another captured by Matthew Evans Photography...
San Francisco is a top-notch, crazy-gorgeous town, that's no secret. And with all the City by the Bay has to offer, it's a dream of a wedding locale. And once the big location decision has been made-it's time to talk venue. And this, my loves, is where The Renaissance San Francisco Stanford Court Hotel comes in. Think totally timeless, elegant and recently...
Sometimes love is in the little things. It's holding out a hand while hiking, offering to share a cozy blanket, or perhaps it's layered within a homemade parfait. This newly engaged couple show each other these little acts of love as they count their blessings and hike the woody hills of Los Angeles lake. But of course, no hike is complete without a picnic styled to perfection! Caroline Yoon captured Eunice and Eddie as they...
The best weddings seem to have one element (or two) that went off-kilter for the big day and that's precisely what makes them so great. The beauty that happens when all the wedding guests pull together to create a makeshift ceremony after the tent is blown into a ditch right before the Bride walks down the aisle - well, that's the truest of true support and there is no better way to wed than surrounded by those people in your life. Oh, and did I mention that every single one of...
This gorgeous photo shoot by the talented Sandra Fazzino Photography has us day dreaming of romantic Italian villas and the possibilities they hold for hosting unbelievably beautiful weddings. The theme was Italian Antiquity and each and every detail is totally in synch with that vision, from the flowers to the beyond beautiful tablescape. ...
We're loving this wedding for so many reasons but maybe our favorite is how the bride mixed both vintage and casual styles so beautifully...and in her parent's backyard! This is not your typical, casual backyard shindig. It's elegant, yet sweet. A little bit country and a whole lotta gorgeous! Matthew Moore Photography captured all the pretty details and we can't get over that golden, sunny glow on the bride.
The thing I'm loving most about this Athens garden wedding from Jason Thrasher Photography is the complete and utter adoration the bride + groom have for each other. Their love is pouring out of every single image, and it's a beautiful sight to behold! Add in perfectly crafted florals from Buzzy Craftery and a too-pretty-to-eat sweet table by...
There's tulle and then there's Vera Wang tulle. The whisper of a fabric so romantic and delicate that I have to stop everything and admire its many layers of wonderfulness. And when that tulle happens to live in a wedding on the beautiful island of Nantucket filled with Soiree Floral's most gorgeous of flowers and...
The second I opened up this wedding the words modern, crisp, clean, and sophisticated started dancing around in my head. BZ Events had planned an Austin soiree without the typical Texas vibe, and even though we heart Texas weddings in a big way around here, the result was amazing. Every contemporary & chic detail was captured brilliantly by...
If there is one detail that pulls us all together over here at SMP, it's candlelight. It's the classically perfect detail that oozes romance all while providing the perfect ambience, and it never, ever fails to have us all wishing we could be seated amongst the flickering. It shines particularly well in this elegant yet personal affair curated by Bespoke Only captured by ...
When you're with the love of your life, everything just seems better. A stroll in the park becomes the most amazing time. Lounging around reading or just sipping on a warm cup of coffee all become that much better when you're with the one you love. And that's why we love this e-session because really, it's the little things. Brklyn View Photography snapped up all the special moments and you can...
You might not find math class particularly romantic, but if you ask this darling duo, they'll tell you it most definitely is. That's because math class just so happens to be the very place these two met - and after falling head over heels amongst equations and common denominators, the rest was seriously sweet (+ seriously cute) history. Kelian Photography snapped up their amazing e-shoot and it's as awesome as you thought it...
If you're like us, you've been looking forward to the holidays since last New Year's. There simply isn't another time of year that captures that same feeling of hope, camaraderie, and peace. I mean, when else do you get a chance to relive the glory years with your best friends from high school and have meaningful, philosophical discussions about life with your favorite aunt? As many of these happenings occur during holiday gatherings, it was the notion of nostalgia that initially shaped our...
Just because we adore you (and we're in the giving spirit), we've put together a little holiday treat for you and yours: darling, downloadable wrapping paper. You see, cute wrapping paper can be expensive. And sometimes, stores simply run out of the good stuff early! The wonderful thing about SMP goodies is that it's always available and in infinite supply. Plus, we like to think that it's pretty darn cute!

Great DIY centerpieces can be tricky. First, you're usually crafting something that you've never attempted to make before. Second, because it's the center of your table you don't want it to be just "so-so." Thankfully, our tiered wreath centerpiece has you covered. Despite its fancy appearance, it's super easy to recreate (we know from first-hand experience!). For those of you with champagne taste on a PBR budget, we think this is a wonderful compromise.

Here at Style Me Pretty, we like to consider ourselves wine connoisseurs. As you also may have guessed, we have a strong affinity for adorable DIY projects. So when our resident crafting expert suggested creating a marriage of the two for our Christmas Soiree, we (instantly) welcomed the idea with arms wide open. Love of vino aside, our etched wine decanter is ideal for the thoughtful holiday gathering. Anything that can indicate self-service to guests while simultaneously acting as a piece...
When hosting a party, especially a holiday party, you want to make sure that the ambiance is warm and inviting. This is exactly what these DIY hanging wreaths were made for. Yes, candles on their own are fantastic. But when guests see a few of these beauties hanging around your home, it'll be as if you're casually saying, "Oh, did I forget to mention that I'm an amazing hostess? Sorry about that!" When you're inevitably complimented, of course, you'll act as if it was just something you threw...
Although we try to be on our best eating behavior during the holidays (cue "liar liar pants on fire"), seasonal parties are a reason for celebration. Plus, delicious, home-cooked treats are a time-proven way to show your adoration for your guests. With this in mind, we honed in on three traditional recipes that all can enjoy (dietary restrictions included!).
