It's inspiration shoots like this one from Istoria Events that literally have me begging you, my dear reader, to take note. Find the little bit (okay, or all of it) of this shoot that speaks to you and recreate it on your own day. And please, please don't forget to invite me. ArinaB Photography has filled our gallery with SO much gorgeous, and...
We are sending you into a fabulous weekend with an equally fabulous Daydream Island Resort & Spa captured by The Love Collective. It's the type of wedding that will make your heart flutter and send your head into a tizzy of inspiration. With gorgeous styling from ...
I can't help the big grin on my face when I see the way these two look at each other. The crinkled noses, twinkling eyes, pearly whites... it's the whole nine yards of pure love folks. And I'm betting Katherine Salvatori had an even bigger grin the day she was snapping up the love between these two! From...
The prettiness sitting in this post can all be attributed to the gorgeous vision from the talented Tina Wiebe. Thanks to her, we get to soak up some seriously lovely rustic inspiration this Friday morning, and really, is there a better way to spend the end of the work week? It picture after picture of pure pretty, and it's all waiting for you right here.
This Hill Country wedding makes me happy -- plain and simple. From the glowing bride to the gorgeous pops of color, it's like a recipe for a pretty with a sense of homey intimacy woven in along the way. Christine Sargologos Photography captured every sweet moment to perfection, and you can find it all sitting right here.
From...This wedding is exactly why I adore destination weddings. A stunning location, gorgeous light, a party that lasts until the wee hours of the morning - it's just the recipe for my version of the perfect day. It doesn't hurt that this couple looks like they stepped out of the pages of a magazine or that the Greece vistas are breathtaking to say the least, but it's the smiles captured by Adonis Kekidakis that really get...
Old Hollywood meets the south, and the result? Perfection. With a little bit of spunk and a whole lot of sweet southern charm, the combo makes for a party that people are probably still talking about. It doesn't hurt that the new Mr. & Mrs. are head over heels in love with each other, which just might be the most fabulous detail of all. See all the pretty captured by Julie Anne, Wedding Photographer right...
While a lot of the SMP ladies' roots are planted firmly in New England soil, mine are not, meaning weddings like this, filled with beautiful Massachusetts foliage, are my only shot at the gorgeous colors. They are so good for my soul. Love, laughter, and a beautiful fall wedding captured by Shane Godfrey Photography are my kryptonite.
I've been in a New York state of mind lately, so this elopement from Genevieve Nisly Photography is calling, nay yelling, my name. The photographs are beautifully simple: telling the story of the lovebirds and their city on the most romantic day of their lives. Can you hear me swooning? From the beautiful bride... Eloping is AWESOME! It is still...
I've been told it's a crime to live in New England and have never visited Cape Cod. And after poring through this nautical beauty from Trent Bailey, I fully understand why. Because when vendors like Desiree Spinner, Sayles Livingston and ...
You may remember this utterly perfect Moroccan inspired birthday dream we featured not that long ago. But did you happen to catch a glimpse at that pretty concoction the birthday girl was holding? Because I couldn't stop awkwardly staring and wondering what...
Home is where the heart is, right? So, why not do your e-sesh right in your own home and neighborhood like these two sweethearts captured by Veronica Lola Photography. To look back and remember where some of your favorite first memories were made... it doesn't get better than that!
Statement necklaces get me every time. Every.single.time. And this Bride's stunning J. Crew bauble is the perfect example of why. It adds the perfect pop of wow to this seriously stunning day, and compliments the traditional yet preppy party in an oh-so fashionable way. This is a wedding where every detail should be adored, and you can do just that...
If you're looking for classic tented wedding inspiration, you are in the exact right spot. And really, is there anything more romantic than a beautifully draped white tent? I think not. But the proof is in the pudding, a.k.a this wedding so perfectly captured by Michael + Anna Costa. Held at Ojai Valley Inn and Spa (also up there on the romantic and beautiful scale) it has...
A weekend at the Parker Palm Springs is the perfect way to check out of normal life and check into a life of glamour, sunshine and relaxation! It's been a longtime favorite of mine for it's beautiful design (by none other than Jonathan Adler himself), stunning grounds and amazing spa. Last weekend my husband, our two dogs and I spent a weekend there...
There's just something about Karen Hill Photography. Her images have that old New York charm. The feeling you get when the light is just right, and the air has just the perfect amount of crisp in it, and you can feel the happiness all around you. Which is why we adore weddings like this one... shot by Karen, and without question, perfectly gorgeous.
I must admit -- the past couple weeks I've been a teensy bit antsy for Fall to makes its way to Boston. The crisp weather, the apple cider, the riding boots...bring it on! But then this pretty landed in my lap, and I suddenly changed my tune. Because let's be honest -- when Jill & Co. Events, Kurt Boomer and ...
Some may say Jen Aniston. Others may go with Blake Lively or Jennifer Lawrence or Mila Kunitz. But my girl crush? Is decidedly Amber Fillerup of Barefoot Blonde. Aside from the fact that she is absurdly gorgeous with style for days, she also doesn't seem to take herself too seriously and allows fashion to be a wildly individual sport. Plus she's kind of a bad ass. And today she's sharing her fashion genius with us mere mortals in her...
Can I just say that you Australian bride and grooms are seriously awesome? Like so very, very awesome. Because not only are you some of the sweetest + craftiest ladies and gents I have ever had the privilege to virtually meet, you really, really know how to throw a drop-dead gorgeous wedding. Weddings like this one captured by the ever-amazing Liesl Cheney Photography, a whimsical affair boasting colorful blooms, lace...
