Oh sweet SMPers, you are in for a treat. A treat that's one part Hawaii, one part sweet lovebirds and all parts fabulous. With images that captured all the lovely moments from Tamiz Photography, it's hard not to get a little lost in all the pretty that is in this post. But I say why hold yourself back? Getting lost is oh so easy when the gallery is as...

Filled to the brim with personality and overflowing with emotion, this Atlanta Contemporary Art Center fête, styled and designed by...
Winter weddings are definitely some of the most spectacular. Everywhere you turn, it seems the whole world has dressed up for the big occasion, as if it is trying to mirror the Bride's radiance in lacy icicles and a shimmery white blanket of snow. And the wintry wonderland that is this wedding from Bharat Parmar Photography is the perfect illustration of such beauty. Amidst a gorgeous snowfall outside...
On a trip to Edinburgh last Christmas, I fell hard for Scotland. It's gorgeous and amazingly friendly, so naturally, I gravitate toward any Scottish wedding that comes across my screen, but this one. All I can say is WOW. It's a summer soiree and it's so soft, so romantic, and so beautiful, my heart aches to be there. Not just in Scotland, but in this very wedding, seen through the lens of Craig & Eva Sanders Photography. I can...
Let me say first that I am the biggest fan ever of a bride in boots. EVER. And even though I've never actually owned my own pair (I know, I know), I do a happy dance every time I see a newly betrothed Mrs. kickin' it country. Needless to say, this fab Minnesota affair had my heart the very second I spotted the uber-stunning bride, not to mention the plethora of darling DIY details (here's looking at you, farm tables), beautiful blooms from...
This romantic couple proves that it's never too late to get amazing images of you and your hubby. Nearly three years after their wedding this couple hit the road and met up with Hunter Ryan Photo for a styled e-session and wedding photo re-do and the results are a fabulous. Think Ivy league meets Southwest Florida with a traditional color palette of red, white and blue. ...

Today, we want to touch base on prepping your guest bath for entertaining. Should you be hosting Thanksgiving dinner later this week, this is not a post to be missed!

Inevitably, the bathroom is a space in your home that your guests...

We happen to think this Cocktails + Flower Arranging Party is pure genius conceptualized by ...

Fall in New England really is something magical isn't it? The changing colors, the crisp air, the rosy cheeks... it's all the perfect compliment to a couple in love, and in my humble opinion, the perfect place for an engagement shoot. Take this Harvard engagement shoot from Captured Photography by Jenny. It's totally magical and it's the perfect way to end a perfect week. See you Monday, LBBers! xoxo

We're totally smitten with this raw elegance inspired photo shoot by Jennifer Skog Photographers. The juxtaposition of design elements is bold and in a word, stunning. Masculine and feminine mesh perfectly with leather accents and pretty florals, and weathered industrial elements are at home next to gold accented glassware. It's insanely brilliant and so creative, we can't help but spend the afternoon gazing at all the lovely in the full...
When you mistake an engagement session for a wedding, and literally have to do a double take to make sure you are indeed wrong - you know you are dealing with a shoot that is on an entirely new level. Let's just say that's exactly what's happened when I took a peek at all the images from U Me Us Studios. I couldn't even believe something this pretty, this well thought out could possibly be just an e-session. Oh but it is, and it all...
The award for most well dressed couple goes to this dynamic duo. Hands down. They are living, breathing modern vintage with a Malibu wedding built in a short three months. For most of you who are in the throws of wedding planning, that little number seems mind boggling but let this gorgeous affair be a testament to the fact that it's indeed possible. All the festivities were captured beautifully by Kayla Adams along with second shooting...
This wedding has spunk. It's vintage, Southern with a smidge of DIY, yes, but the overall feel is a lovely spunk. The way the bright blooms pop against the classic burlap and lace. The sweet "First Look" with a blindfolded groom. The bride and her sweet, sweet words. It's a wedding with spunk - which is a wedding we can love with ease. Forever Photography was behind the camera for the day which has provided...
I dare you not to look at this inspiration and instantly want to infuse every inch of your life in beautiful florals; wildly glamorous, uber bright, bohemian floral crown kinds of florals. That is just what Cloth of Gold set out to create with a photo shoot infused with loads of the aforementioned and imagery by Odalys Mendez Photography that brings all those...
