Tradition with a little sass is the perfect way to describe this affair. It's as Southern as can be from the Riverwood Mansion backdrop to the elegant attire all wrapped up in a wildly beautiful wedding. On somewhat of a side-note I've never met a feathered shoe I don't adore and the adoration continues with those turquoise beauties worn by the Bride. And that is where you'll find that aforementioned sass. Have a look at the...
Every wedding starts with a love story. A classic boy-meets-girl kind-of moment that changes absolutely everything. And this particular love story all started with a visit to South Africa--her family on a safari and him being their guide. It's the kind of chance meeting that's so very magical, it deserves a wedding equally as special. Nina Mullins caught every moment of this happily-ever-after, and there's even more in...
The color palette of this wedding captured by Tim Halberg? It's beyond. The entire wedding actually is, but it's the pops of color that will make your eyes do a happy dance first today. And then your heart will join right along with them when you come across these two newlyweds and their sweet little family. Needless to say, with all that dancing, this is one fabulous feature, and you can join us ...
Anytime a Carolina wedding comes our way, we know it's going to be an instant charmer. And with all that southern charm alongside a sense of easy elegance, it's not hard to see why this bash set at The Balcony on Dock was a complete and total hit. Salt Harbor Designs put together all the beautiful blooms and ...
You know, I'm fairly confident when it comes to my baking abilities. Having been taught by my grandmother at a very young age (aka "official tast tester") I've always found comfort in the kitchen. That said, when it comes time to decorate said baked goods, you can often find me running for the hills. Which is why I am so happy that our expert Jocelyn, from Mayflour Cake + Confection, is here to teach us all how it's really done in...
A pop of color does the soul good, and the same holds true for wedding day details. Mark my words. The brighter the accoutrements, the happier the celebration. And Bella Signature certainly subscribes to that theory. All the bright, cheery pinks woven throughout this day are the ultimate proof. Have a look at the full affair captured by J Garner Studios right here...
I might be admitting just how big of a wedding nerd I am with this one, but this wedding is almost exactly what my dreams are made of. Pretty succulents guiding a gorgeous color palette, absolutely stunning California light, an indescribable softness captured by heidi-o-photo... That is my kinds of dream. So imagine my giddy delight in a gallery filled to...
You know what I love? When a wedding is handcrafted by family. It always shines through in the photographs of the day. The year of planning my own wedding was filled with so many great Mother-daughter moments spent crafting, antiquing and the like. And when I read the description from the Bride, Danica, it brought me right back to that time. Sure weddings are all about the beautiful details but they are more importantly about the love, and family and all those memories so beautifully captured...
I've mentioned before that I work with some of the most wildly talented ladies in the world - there's just no denying it. I consistently find myself soaked in a flow of inspiration of the very best kind and I count my lucky stars each and every day to be a part of it. When my fellow coworker, Melissa (who also blogs over at Yours Truly) sent along this recipe I literally leaped out of my seat. Cheese? Jam? Bread? BASIL?! It really...
This darling bride has a smile that could light up the entire state of California. Seriously, I don't believe I have ever seen a more joyous Mrs.... and the moment when she puts on her veil and dances a little jig? Priceless. Also priceless? This entire film from Paperweight Films, which is like one glee-filled second after another of the world's happiest duo, celebrating with the world's happiest friends. Prepare to fall in love...
There isn't a single moment of this wedding captured by Trent Daft Photography that I don't adore. I would kiss it if I could, because it really is everything. This beautiful Bride had a beautiful vision of what her day would look like, and along with family and friends, she that made it happen (and all within budget). It's the perfect seaside soiree made even more perfect that it's overflowing with love, and...
In my book, a wedding by the bay is just about as good as it gets. And when that wedding is shot through the lens of Meaghan Elliott Photography, you can count on something extra special. Add in all the well-planned pretties and vintage props from this graphic designer bride, and it's officially a new SMP fave! Cozy up and click away...
I absolutely loved how this Bride knew her big day was beyond perfect - her cheeks were sore the next day from smiling so much. Adorable. I would say that's one fine way of judging just how fabulous your big day went. Her big day? Worth smiling about. With perfectly placed details, a plethora of love from her family and friends and gorgeous images from LG Weddings - you can't help but grin when looking at all this goodness.
Sweet as they come and stylish to boot, this Chicago wedding captured by Kina Wicks Photography is really everything I love about weddings. It's tradition and thoughtful touches, it's a day overflowing with love and it's a gorgeous Bride that couldn't look happier if she tried. How could you not love every inch of that? Well I most certainly am head over heels, and you can see all the reasons why...
A wedding that includes giant marshmallows (hanging from paper clouds) and edible chandeliers is pretty much guaranteed to be a good time. That's kind of a given. And when this darling duo incorporated those two elements into their big day, it was just the beginning of one serious fun-fest. I'm talking sparkler send-offs, yummy cuisine and a "dreams" theme that was simply bursting from every last moment. The perfect mix of beauty and magic? We think so. See it all captured by...
Southern Charm Photography and Minerva House Photography just became my new best friends. They don't know it yet, but they totally did. That's because they sent along this drop-dead gorgeous photo shoot and it's the perfect mix of romance and drama, with a breathtaking forrest backdrop that seriously...
I love Georgia's take on rustic. Sure the wedding might take place in a barn, and sure, there might be cowboy boots involved, but those Georgia folks know how to add the perfect splash of sophistication to dress up that rustic feel. Rustic elegance? It's been coined by Georgians. Case and point - this gorgeous Spring Lake soiree captured by Brita Photography. It's DIY and downright gorgeous, and it's all sitting pretty...
I kind of love this bride and groom. Because not only did they come up with the fabulous idea of a Newport destination wedding, they happened to fill it to the brim with the sweetest vintage meets rustic details around. Think burlap, twine and chalkboards, all set against the stunning settings of the Norman Bird Sanctuary and the Pearls Boutique Hotel. Add to...
A wedding sprinkled with vintage pretties is one of our favorite kind here at SMP. There is something so gosh darn charming + romantic about finding treasures from another time and place that make our hearts skip a beat. Whether it's a touch of vintage lace to dress up a tablescape or a vintage typewriter paired with love letters for a guest book table, these lovely details become a part of a new story and this sweet round up is sure to inspire yours. 1. Dress up your dessert table...
The first time I tasted this cake was upon meeting my boyfriend's parents. They had it for dessert or someone's birthday or something. I can't really remember why. But, I politely ate it and tried my hardest not to lick my plate clean. Then - and thankfully said boyfriend became loving husband which is probably a result of me keeping this story a secret until now - I waited until everyone was asleep and snuck...
