When I first set my sights on wedding planning, thoughts of gorgeous, lace dresses danced in my head; floor length, vintage-inspired and beautifully romantic. I ended up with something quite different but in my mind I wanted to look just like this Bride. She's a vision in lace that perfectly weaves into this East Coast affair. And with images by Hales Studio and a gallery stuffed to the gills with rolling vineyards and elegant details...
You can always tell when I'm obsessed with a wedding by how long it takes me to build my boards. I go through image after image a thousand times, making sure I choose the very best of the most amazing shots. I don't want to miss the perfect shot of a smile, a detail, a handhold, but when Marianne Taylor Photography is behind the stills, it's impossible to share them all. I spent a very, very long time curating the images...
This next little number is the kind of affair that just makes you happy. Happy, because love is just so darn wonderful and so are traditional ceremonies held near your childhood home followed by an uber-gorgeous reception that just screams vintage chic. Add in beautiful blooms from Amy Lynne Originals and an entire gallery of pretty from Nancy Ray Photography and...
I'd be hard-pressed to find a wedding video that sends me through such a variety of emotions as this beauty from Paper Crane Productions. From sweet smiles to happy tears to laughing out loud right here on my couch, every second is overwhelmingly touching and genuine and I still can't get over those special moments of this groom practicing his first dance while he is getting ready. See it all in the video below. [iframe...
There's something about the colors in this wedding that make me ridiculously happy. They're so feminine and pretty, and if you ask me, perfect for an outdoor Northern California wedding. It's the perfect mix of natural and rustic yet still perfectly elegant and right at home in the barn. Jen Rodriguez Photography snapped up all the gorgeous details and we know you'll have yourself a pretty little field day...

This adorable e-session proves that you don't need much in way of props for one heck of a gorgeous photo shoot with the love of your life. A pretty setting, some seriously fabulous outfits, a bunch of flowers and a couple of cookies will do wonders for you. Just ask Stacy Able Photography who snapped up all these beautiful images and I bet she'll tell you the same.
Sometimes I find myself in a style gridlock. I can't choose between burly woodsy wonderfulness or super bright, fun and feminine and it is always a battle within me to pick a side. Needless to say, the second I laid eyes on this beauty from Troy St. Louis, there was a definite aha! moment. Put the two together! It's the perfect blend of my two loves and the result is an ultimately fresh and timeless wedding. Best part? It's all right...
This simple + beautiful French wedding from Coralie Polack Photography is accompanied by the sweetest love story I ever did hear!

We show so many different weddings here at SMP but the one thing they all have in common is lots and lots of personality. Yup, it's all about putting your stamp on your big day and this couple did that and then some.

There's vintage weddings and then there's this wedding by The Vine Floral & Event Design. It's authentically vintage from the pretty color palette of creams, greens, peaches and lavender to the bride's vintage lace gown, also worn by her mother on her wedding day. Oh, and did we mention that the bride planned the entire day too? She sure does know a thing or two about putting the chic in vintage. ...
I have a super embarrassing, yet nonetheless real crush on this couple. His suspenders and glasses, her effortlessly chic style pulled together with apparent ease (that fab gown is a thrift store find - not even kidding), the way they wholeheartedly kiss each other... they are hands down the sweetest couple. Ever. With Jenny Moloney Photography behind the camera, the day was captured in utter perfection - just the way I can only imagine it...

I wish you lovelies could have seen my face as I immersed myself in the gallery of this wedding from Paul Francis Photography. Amid a few ridiculous outbursts of "oh my stars" and indecipherable noises of joy, my heart was falling deeper and deeper in love. Oh yes, this is a good one. The...

From the moment I laid eyes on this breathtaking Loire Valley soiree, it was an all-out love affair. A complete obsession, really.

Oh, and the gallery? An overflow of pretty pastels. ...
I'll be the first to admit my thumb is black, but that doesn't mean I don't adore a good floral arrangement with my whole heart. An eclectic mix of bright blooms can always, always put a huge smile on my face, and when they are found in an eclectic, yet gorgeous, wedding? Well, it's over. The wedding on deck today was planned by VOWS Wedding & Event Planning and every bit of the eclectic perfection was captured by...
Not all signage is created equal. Some signs have that extra sparkle that add a big dose of personality to an affair. The kind of signs that announce "we're awesome, we're married and we want to sing it from the mountaintops." And when a Bride owns the most adorable invitation company we ever did see, and infuses every ounce of her big day with country charm and sparkling declarations on wood and paper alike, it looks a little something like this beauty captured by ...
