Located in the heart of Manhattan Beach and known to be the area's first luxury boutique property, Shade Hotel is a wedding venue unlike any other. The beachfront, SoCal oasis (and its extraordinary, open-air courtyard) lets couples plan the wedding of their dreams - all with their toes in the sand. And get this, my dears: the modern, 38-room Shade Hotel has...
This wedding is pure fairy tale romance a-la Texas Hill Country. Not only is the couple drop dead gorgeous, but each and every vintage chic detail of their day is total perfection. Benfield Photography captured each beautiful moment and you can see it all right here in the full gallery! From the Bride...This is the story of a red headed...
The Greenhouse Loft is, hands down, one of my favorite Chicago venues. The 20th century building was transformed into an eco-friendly, rustic meets modern wedding wonderland, allowing couples to completely transform + customize the space. And this Mr. and Mrs. did just that. Bringing in bold colors, gorgeous florals and a whole lot of DIY amazingness, they created the casually elegant soiree of their dreams!
Once in awhile, weddings land in my lap that totally take my breath away. The look, the style, and the all around feel of the party make me wish nothing but fabulous things for the newly married duo. This is one of those weddings. And although things didn't go perfectly as planned, with the help of Atmosphere Wedding Planning & Design and amazing guests the day went perfectly unplanned. With all the details somehow falling into...
If there was ever a place to ooze romance, Paris would be it. You can't mention that stunning city without thoughts of a little ooh la la, and really, why would you want to? It's what really makes the City of Light shine. This couple was nothing short of genius to hire Capture Life Photography for a little e-sesh magic as they strolled the city streets, and you can see all the sweet romance unfold ...
There's so many fun details that make up this pretty blue and yellow wedding by the beach, but I have to admit, the nostalgic nerd in me loves the fact that the bride's grandfather performed the ceremony. That's my favorite part. Don't get me wrong, the ceremony and reception were both drop dead gorgeous and Brooke Roberts Photography captured each moment perfectly. But don't take my word for it.
I happen to hold a very, very special place in my heart for beautiful blooms. One that I fill with drop-dead gorgeous bouquets, floral wreaths and magical centerpieces. And today I am adding a stunning masterpiece of flower-filled perfection to that list. One that was created by Renaissance Florals, carried down the aisle by one UBER-stunning bride and has the power to instantly transport you to a land of soft peach hues...
We always say that it's the little details that you add into your day that will leave your guests with that warm and fuzzy feeling. So, so true in today's wedding. Although the beautiful bride admits, her DIY projects took a little bit longer than anticipated, they were a big part of creating her wedding, her way. With Ana Skidmore of TwoFoot Creative and...
I am just smitten over fall in the city. A time where cobblestone streets and brick buildings create the perfect pairing for fiery autumn foliage. And who better than Poppies & Posies to craft gorgeous floral designs of deep red and orange hues that are not only the bride's favorite colors, but the groom's alma mater team colors as well! Oh, and photographer ...
I love this wedding. I love that the bride and groom described it as "gypsy-like in design" where "nothing matches, but everything feels right." I love that the entire day was held in their breathtaking private villa in Coconut Grove, aka, one of the prettiest backdrops I have ever seen. And I also love that it was literally infused with one moment after another of personality-filled details, from the Mediterranean feast of olives and hummus to the Turkish coffee and baklava served to...
There's just something about this engagement session captured by Elisabeth Millay Photography that makes me happy. Like, an all caps kind of HAPPY that puts a smile on your face that won't go away. The reason? The beyond adorable duo strolling casually through the streets of their West Village neighborhood, looking uber-chic with their cute-as-can-be King Charles Spaniel, Lady, in tow. Don't miss a minute and...
I am not sure what could enhance a love story more than the rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy; a place that holds family, love and wine to the utmost importance. It is clear from Studio Impressions' photographs that this day was no exception. I want so badly to close my eyes and be transported behind that birdcage veil so I can see this day through the bride's eyes. The delicate...
Paint may just be the greatest thing to ever happen to the traditional glass bottle. With a pastel color palette and a paintbrush in hand, this wedding was transformed into a whimsical outdoor affair where the Bridesmaids matched the centerpieces. We think that's kind of fabulous. Also on the fabulous list? Aaron Courter's gorgeous images. See them all...
Those infamous blue pumps with the sparkly buckle tucked inside the most ridiculous walk in closet literally makes every single girl from here to timbucktoo sigh at the exact same time. This happy bride gets those epic Carrie pumps, a gorgeous ring, AND the man of her dreams? Seriously, not okay. But what is okay in my book is the way Danielle Capito Photography captured every inch of this lavish ivy-covered secret garden with...
If ever there was a moment where I was about to drop everything and jet off to Mexico, it would be this moment. The culprit? This gorgeous destination wedding crafted by Fiestas Los Cabos and Elena Damy. From the second I laid eyes on the images from Parker J Pfister Photography I was done with snow and winter and...
This Hartley Botanica stunner from Matt Grashaw + Shurie Saxelby is the perfect example of a theme-wedding done right. The bride + groom, both pursuing doctorates in scientific fields, infused their big day with whimsical touches and DIY-projects (like their amazing invitations + reception centerpieces!) With gorgeous...
Can you really coordinate purples, greens, blues, yellows AND magentas? Together into a mexican wedding fiesta with a super hip taco truck? AND the whole event turns out insanely chic? I need to immediately tip my hat and give some serious love to Jessica Sloane who coordinated this tale of two love birds. The way it is photographed by...
Get ready SMPers, cause we’ve got some serious cuteness in store for your Wednesday afternoon! These dapper lil’ beaus (and darling belles) are going to steal your heart with their sweet smiles and stylish lil’ ties from The Belle and the Beau. This momma-owned fashion accessory company, run by Amy Callaway, was inspired by her own three A-dorable kiddos. What better inspiration could you ask for? All of the cuteness is tied...
Simple weddings are true gems in my book. They're paired down to the most intimate, heart-warming details. The same details that we adore about big, grandiose affairs can be found in these images by Randi Jorgensen of 1012 photo. A whole lot of love and celebrating with your nearest and dearest... that's what really makes this backyard wedding shine bright.
Without a doubt, San Diego is one of my all-time favorite cities. I mean, who wouldn't adore the 365 days of perfect weather, the breathtaking coastal beauty and the never-ending lineup of gorgeous weddings? It's absolute heaven and I couldn't possibly love it any more. Well... that is until I spotted this stunning affair planned by Wynn Austin Events which takes that San Diego beauty I love so dearly and kicks it up a notch with...
