Simple yet breathtaking, understated yet infused with elegance - this wedding from Odalys Mendez Photography is just everything. Or at least my everything. It's garden party glam with a big ol' side of southern charm, and I honestly can't think of a better combo. With bridesmaids in blush and boots, a tablescape worthy of some serious swooning and a couple so happy you just want to reach through the screen and squeeze them...
When I first came across this wedding, there was a certain something that I absolutely loved - I just couldn't put my finger on it. The entire design from Simply Sweet Weddings & Events was gorgeous, yes, but there was something special. It wasn't until I heard that the bride infused her July wedding with hints and twinkles of Christmas that I realized why I loved it so much. This wedding is the proof that you can bring the...
When it comes to the old 9 to 5 routine, trying to decide between pretty, prettier, and prettiest images from Life in Still Photography is not a bad day at work. Not in the slightest. From dazzling protea bouquets by Poppies Flowers to lavender fields a plenty, this engagement shoot has so much going for it including a sweet Mr. and Mrs. to be. It kind of makes me want to...
When the venue is named something like Secrets on the Lake, we just know we have a delightfully romantic wedding on our hands. And that's precisely what we have here from Karen Buckle Photography with this wedding so filled with pretty colors that we just might want to eat it. Yes, I know you can't eat a wedding, but if you could, this one would be absolutely...
If ever a wedding was a fairy tale dream come true, it's this pretty vintage chic inspired wedding sent into us by the fabulous Love Light Images. There was just one year and two days from this adorable couple's romantic proposal in Italy to their big day. Lucky for them, most of the details were DIYed by the bride's mom and the result is beyond beautiful.
Some backyards were just meant to host weddings. Case in point, this gorgeous 16 acre property complete with a lake and a home that the groom just so happened to have built. I'm pretty sure it doesn't get more romantic than that. And to top it all off, this crafty couple DIYed almost everything you see in these pretty images from Keren Sarai Photography.
I can honestly say, this wedding stopped me in my tracks. The moment I laid eyes on these gorgeous images from Micheal B (which could each in their own right serve as the next Ralph Lauren ad campaign, btw) I was just beside myself. Because although the design of this rustic yet seriously fabulous woodland fête is executed to utter perfection, it's this couple that stole the show. The way they look at each other, they way their...
There is so much to love about this rustic + vintage Camp Lucy wedding, I'm just not sure where to start. Months of thrifting and crafting culminated in a perfectly themed "country fair" celebration where not a single detail was missed. From the personalized mason jar place cards to the mix + match chairs for the head table, this pretty little number proves that country chic is...
I am thoroughly convinced that the entire state of Hawaii possesses some kind of magical wedding power. One that turns each and every soiree into the most amazing wedding you've ever seen. Or maybe it's just that the scenery is always breathtaking, the couples are always stunning and the vendors are always delivering the pretty. And in the case of this gorgeous Oahu wedding captured beautifully by Beloved Photo Boutique...
It's pretty much impossible not to fall in love with this adorable, home themed barn wedding designed and planned by Whim Events. East coast meets west coast in this rural beauty where the bride and groom focused on local foods, local entertainment, and mixed in tons of personal elements. And the result is beyond amazing, a day full of home cooking, love and laughter. Does it get any better?
I'm a Southern girl, and if I've learned anything from my roots it's that pearls, big smiles, and a whole lotta love are just about all you need in life. And you know you've got a good Southern wedding if it's got all three of those essentials plus some show-stopping extra details - like a dinner complete with all the fixin's - that have a charm all their own. Pebble Hill Plantation was the most perfect of locations for such a...
If black bowties and white jackets are your thing, you're going to eat this wedding right up. It's all sorts of classy with a gorgeous bride to boot - and not to mention the stunning Newport views, a gorgeous design from Details with Love, and the cutest little pug you'll ever see. Person + Killian Photography were behind the camera's we know and love capturing it all with...
Oh how we love a good rehearsal dinner. Mostly one so pretty, so well captured we can almost feel the butterflies in the Bride's stomach and the love in the air. This is just such a dinner - an al fresco affair hosted at one of the most scrumptious spots in Napa, Farmstead, under twinkling lights and surrounded by the most delicious decor (in every sense of the word). It's long farm tables overflowing with...
What do you get when you combine the urban landscape of fabulous Fort Lauderdale, two seriously stunning sweethearts and an adorable pooch named Becca? You get one downright gorgeous e-session snapped in picture perfect images by Becca Borge Photography. One that brightens every last second of your Friday morning with a plethora of beautiful moments and an entire gallery of amazing. Oh, and I mentioned the puppy, right? ...
I'm in love. A head-over-heels, heart pounding + starry eyed kind of love. And it's all because of this etherial Edwardian garden party themed wedding from the ever amazing Mademoiselle Fiona. Long Island City's Metropolitan Building was the perfectly vintage locale for the fête and...
As our day of pretty comes to a close here on SMP, we wanted to take some time to share an incredibly exciting development in the SMP family. Perhaps the most exciting thing we have ever been a part of and something that we have been dying to fill you in on for months. Because really, it's you guys, our readers - who have been with us on this amazing journey from the very beginning & who have helped to build this brand into what it is today - that we wanted to be among the first to know.
I must admit, I struggled putting together the post for this pretty-little backyard Pasadena wedding. There were too many handmade details to share that I simply couldn't narrow it down! Almost everything at this celebration was handmade by the bride, her Mr. and their family + friends...and the result of hours upon hours of thrifting and crafting? Pure perfection. See the rest from...
When I get my hands on a wedding as beautiful as this one from Troy Grover, my heart starts to beat a little faster and my brain becomes crowded with adjectives that never seem good enough to describe what my eyes are seeing. How could they really? As hard as they try, those little adjectives could never possibly describe the way this couple infused their personalities into every pretty little detail. And this color palette? I can't think of...
Pink and yellow may just be the most amazing color combination I've seen all year. It's a little bit preppy, a little bit cheery, and a whole lotta fabulous, especially when the rest of this Portsmouth wedding (including the fab blooms from Sayles Livingston Design) is brought into the equation. The lovely Kate McElwee Photography captured all the love and laughter and...
Cavallo Point Lodge is one of those perfect spots in Northern California that lends itself beautifully to weddings of the effortlessly chic kind. Now add to that equation a Bride as ridiculously pretty as they come and an affair that has the feel of a relaxed, backyard party only kicked up a few trillion notches on the design scale. That spike in the design spectrum can be credited to a team of incredibly talented vendors...
