If we're being totally honest here, I've never actually heard of Boca Grande (I know, shameful being a Gulf Coast resident myself), but after this gorgeous wedding it's pretty much top of my vacation list right now. Vitalic Photo's images of the day are something out of a dream - a really bright and happy dream - and they have totally convinced me to pack my...
So I tried to chat with mother nature on everyone's behalf, but unfortunately there isn't much we can do about the weather slowly transitioning from summer to fall. And since it seems we have to accept the inevitable, we might as well dress the part, am I right? So here are a few of my personal favourite fall essentials. And after spending some time on my virtual shopping list, I'm kind of feeling better...
This citrus-inspired shoot is a little lesson in color. The takeaway here? Layering bright, like-minded hues is a complete and total "do." Add in the talents of Vanessa Noel Events, Kissing Bees and Alissa Bell Press, and you'll be left with quite possibly the prettiest, peppiest lovefest EVER. See every...
Of the million different places perfect for saying "I do," backyard weddings are (and always will be) one of my favorites. It's the sense of intimacy and coziness that always seems to burst from a backyard wedding that gets me... the feeling of "hominess" that just can't be replicated elsewhere. And this darling day styled to absolute perfection by Jessica Coleman is just that. A drop-dead gorgeous affair with sooo much...

Planning + designing everything from glam weddings to lovely private parties from the bay area to wine country, the lovely ladies at Erica Ota Events...
Chicago has chic down to a science. I don't know what it is, but couples that call that city home know how to throw a glamorous affair. And this pretty little number from Robyn Rachel Photography and planned by Big City Bride is the perfect example. It's Louboutin's and a gorgeous ...
Engagement sessions are awesome. Soooo seriously awesome. I mean, an entire day dedicated to celebrating your impending nuptials and having some fun with your soon-to-be Mr. or Mrs.? That's pretty amazing, if you ask me. And when it comes to joy-filled days featuring an adorable duo, look no further than this cooking-themed shoot planned by the geniuses at Bespoke Event Design and captured in beautiful...
There are weddings you adore and then there are weddings you ADORE... drop-dead gorgeous affairs that are so utterly beautiful, you are almost at a loss for words. This is one of those weddings. A breathtaking Italian soiree featuring a stunning actress marrying her dashing music producer groom, all while surrounded by family, friends and moment after moment of "Miss Havisham meets Florence and the Machine" pretty (YES). It's the kind of day that will most certainly go down in SMP history...
I couldn't possibly put my finger on what I love most about this gorgeous ballroom beauty captured by Day7. The first thing I fell in love with was this bride's gorgeous BHLDN gown. It's a stunner. Then I fell in love with the palette of soft pinks. It doesn't get prettier. But then I saw the way this Groom looked at his lovely Bride, and all of the things I loved so much went out...
I'm what some might call an inspiration junkie. I pin, favorite, and store images away like it's my job (and it kind of is) hoping to set my brain in a tailspin of beautiful ideas. Well today's inspiration overload landed right in my lap thanks to this stunning shoot from Tessa Marie Weddings planned by We Tie The Knots. It's everything I seek out each...
Ever since my sister's engagement last May, I've been spending every last second of spare time helping to plan her rustic barn wedding. A task that is made decidedly easier given that my "non-spare time" is spent perusing beautiful details and drop-dead gorgeous weddings. And on days like today, when I get to bask in a pretty little Gedney Farm affair from...

There's something fiercely magical about the The Ritz at Half Moon Bay. It's the kind of locale that makes for a dream of a wedding, especially when Lyndsey Hamilton Events, rEvolve and Elegant Cheese Cakes have anything to do with it. But what...
Our Livings editor, Jacquelyn, is a travel junkie. Me, not so much. I think when you have two smelly kids, the idea of being too far from home suddenly becomes a bit more, well, daunting. But honestly? Seeing these gorgeous images from the lovely Kimberly Chau from her trip to Puerto Rico sort of makes me want to throw caution to the wind and pack up the whole family. Almost. This trip is beauty defined and there is so much more...

Sailboats, gorgeous light, super in love couples - all those things fall happily at the tippy top of my favorite things list. So it basically goes without saying that I want to live in each and every image from 1313 Photography sitting in this gallery. It's true. I couldn't possibly pick a favorite, but I'll happily spend the rest of the day...
There are big weddings and then there are crazy huge weddings, i.e. 500 people huge. But that in no way takes away from the sheer elegance and beauty of this Los Angeles affair. It's a recipe filled with amazing vendors like Tic Tock Florals and Details Details, a penchant for classic beauty and images by ...
It's about all I can do to muster up a pot of coffee in the morning. The prospect of making a big meal before noon is just beyond me. Luckily, there's TOAST! Toast is the answer to most prayers. In this rendition, we're exploring the sweet and savory side of toast. Sometimes we want the sweet jolt of honey and plums, other times we want a kick of salt and spice from prosciutto and pepper. With toast, we can have it all! And... we can make it with one eye open. Coffee helps. For...
I'm the fabric girl. I'm a little obsessed. I have been known to buy a fabric with no plans for it, and then worry about using it for the "wrong thing" - meaning it sits in my pretty fabric pile for years. So needless to say, I am a little obsessed with the custom Chinoiserie table linens in this gorgeous wedding from Thérèse Marie Wagner Photography. But even I will admit they are just the icing on the fabulous cake that is...
You just might recognize this gorgeous duo. They graced our pages last week with their beyond stylish engagement sesh, but guess what, loves? That was only part one. And if you can believe it, part two has even more pretty to devour with stunning beach captures by Ashley Kelemen and florals from ...
