Even though I grew up in the great state of Montana completely surrounded by rustic beauty, I am sort of a preppy girl at heart. Chevron stripes, bold color palettes, sleek and sophisticated monograms... my heart is pitter pattering just thinking about it. And when I laid my eyes on this little beauty captured by Set Free Photography, it almost jumped right out of my chest. Because this, my friends, is preppy chic done...

I have a confession. Before I found my way into the world of weddings, I didn't know what a peony was. That's almost blasphemous, isn't it? But now, I'm fully versed in the big fluffy flower genre and that love for the all-star bloom runs deep. I've also added a few more loves to the list. Things like branches intermingling with floral centerpieces, little gold details and really good, take-your-breath-away photography; all of which this wedding has thanks to the likes of ...

As soon as I stumbled upon this golden duct tape I knew it was meant for something great. After considering the many options, I opted to use it to make some modern artwork with a gilded effect. Its a pretty simple and chic way to add some new art to your home! My patterns were inspired by these lovely Goods By Grinn pillows. They make a fun...
I don't know how you Australian bride and grooms manage to do it, but, boy, do you throw some seriously amazing weddings. I'm talking weddings that mix stunning traditional details with chic + sophisticated stylings and, well... everything in between. The kind of weddings that stop you in your tracks from their pure awesomeness, and leave you spending hours upon hours soaking in their beautiful galleries. Case in point? This gorgeous day captured by...

We're talking romantic, vintage-inspired styles with incredible fits and re-imagined silhouettes, all from local Bay Area bridal designer Judy Lee's collection Ju.Lee Chic.

If there's one thing I've learned in my years at SMP, it's this: engagement sessions are awesome. Awesome in that they are always, always chock-full of an abundance of love... and a non-stop excitement and joy that you just can't find elsewhere. In other words, they are amazing, and when you throw in a rustic setting like this breathtaking Okanagan Lake backdrop and the fabulous Kevin Trowbridge to capture all of the magic, they...
It's easy to fall head over heels in love with this wedding. The pretty palette, the gorgeous blooms, the modern setting of the Greenhouse Loft - it all makes for one sweet fête to swoon over. But what if I told you the icing on this pretty cake is that this Bride's dress was made by her mother? Because it so was, which totally ups the ante if you ask me.
I sort of have this crazy obsession with Polly Alexandre and her amazing imagery. An "I want to be the President of her fan club" kind of obsession that only grows stronger with every gorgeous moment she captures. It probably has a little something to do with the fact that she's pure genius, and her clients? Oh-so-lovely. I'm talking bride and grooms who really know a thing or two about throwing a beautiful wedding...

This wedding is the perfect example. It's a beautiful celebration of these two lovely folks, and there is even more to love...
I probably don't need to tell you just how much we adore rustic weddings here at SMP, but bare with me one more time, because it's definitely worth repeating... rustic weddings rock. And when we get the chance to dive into some rustic-y goodness of the Southern variety? Even better. Because this is the kind of inspiration-fest that mixes sweet country details with a non-stop dash of elegance, from the gold-plated flatware from ...
Joanna of Sixpence Productions admits that she "kind of ADORES" these two, and truth be told, after spending a few minutes with them via this highlight film, I'm in the same boat. They are stinking adorable and so in love. Not to mention they planned a gorgeous day and held it all on a beautiful beach. I'm smitten.

When summer camp style mixes and mingles with a touches of glamour, I can't help but take notice. How can you possibly ignore all the sweet details sitting pretty in these images from Cassi Claire?

They write songs about all white weddings and with good reason...they're stunning. A layered approach to pretty neutrals is all at once timeless and taking a page out of the modern book. It's a duality, if you will, that works each and every time; especially with vendors like NK Productions and Lexia Frank Photography on the job. They take stunning details and perfectly plan...
