And to say she is crazy talented is a complete understatement. More like, this Bride was born to DIY. Have a look at all the beauty this full wedding has to offer with even more imagery captured by ...
One of my favorite projects from our Style Me Pretty Weddings book are the paper heart chair garlands. Because, while a bit time consuming, they are so easy and pretty and really make a space feel magical. So when our DIY extraordinaire, Jess, mentioned doing some sort of backdrop for...
This is quite possibly the simplest, most bang for your buck project we've ever done here on SMP. And the girls at Audrey's party LOVED them. A bamboo skewer, some hula skirts and a bit of green painters tape and voila. A magic wand that actually makes little girls feel like they are fairy princesses. A few of the girls actually begged me to take them home.
Of the Jonathan Adler fans in the world, we consider ourselves pretty serious megafans here at SMP.

The bride and Butterfly Petals did a phenomenal job creating...

This is the kind of wedding that proves that fairytales really do come true. That sparkling ball gowns, glittery gold hues and magical forest-like settings are alive and well in the wedding world. It also proves that when a bride is as seriously stylish as this gorgeous Mrs., magical things can seriously happen. Magical things like baby's breath-lined aisles, a candle-lit Milton Park Country House reception and chandeliers...
There are a million reasons to love San Francisco, that's for sure; but since my introduction to the iconic Asian Art Museum, I've got a million and one! The stunning + sophisticated Beaux-Arts building was constructed in 1917 and renovated in 2003 by famed architect Gae Aulenti. Boasting travertine columns, carved stone arches + breathtaking, ornate ceilings, this venue is an absolute stunner.
I'm generally a very productive person. I thrive on to-do lists and projects, but when I come across a wedding like this one captured by Lauren Wakefield, all bets are off. I drop everything I am doing to sit and stare at the pretty, fully blaming it on the fact that doing so is indeed my job. Because this is a wedding filled with the perfect amount of pretty and the perfect amount of heart, and you can see...
Planning a three day wedding weekend in just three short months sounds like an almost impossible task; something only a superhero duo (aka, a brilliant bride and groom) could pull off. Well, lovelies... meet that duo. Two seriously smitten sweethearts who took their office romance and love of environmentally friendly weddings and crafted a day that is beyond amazing. I'm talking fab DIY details, waterside yoga (!) and an entire gallery of lovely captured by ...
I'm not exactly sure what is on your Thursday agenda, lovelies, but I can guarantee you one thing. This mesmerizing bridal shoot from the talented lens of Heather Moore? It will fill up one huge portion of your day.

And when it comes to destination nuptials, I'm head-over-heels for Mexico's breathtaking Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit! Based on a stunning stretch of Mexico's western coastline, nestled between the Pacific Coast and the Sierra Madre Mountains, the...
This adorable duo? They have a fabulous story. The kind of fabulous story that involves a workplace romance, a helicopter meets the Empire State Building proposal and a drop-dead gorgeous Belle Mer wedding. A sort of movie-eque beginning with sooo much pretty, it's like a trifecta of awesome all coming together in beautiful imagery captured by...
I wish Amy Arrington could follow me around and capture all my life moments. Because her images? They are breathtaking. They have this beautiful, timeless feel, and always tell the sweetest of stories filled with moments that are completely priceless. This pretty little Georgia peach is the perfect example. Every image makes my heart sing the sweetest of songs, and...
I'll admit, sometimes my husband doesn't love my job as much as I do. The second he walks through the door, I immediately regale him with stories of all the gorgeous weddings I came across throughout the day... and which bits of them I'm filing away for our wedding redo. And somedays, today included, the idea of a destination wedding redo gets tossed around (on my end). My husband may not love you XO ANDREA, but I sure do! Big thanks...

And with The Foundry serving as the perfect backdrop, Naturally Delicious coordinating behind-the-scenes and ...
I'm a girl that is all about the romance.

And this sweet Clearwater Beach affair? Well, it is literally bursting with just that kind of romance, aka, one stop you in your tracks moment after another planned to perfection by ...
It's probably not the biggest shocker in the world that proposals make me happy - I do spend my days gushing about love and marriage. But there is just something so so special about that little question that often happens on one knee. And when it all happens in the gorgeous Central Park with Katie Markquart Photography snapping up every every heart-warming moment - that's when you simply can't help but smile. See...
