Though we feature some of the prettiest of pretty things up on these pages, I have to say that home tours rank tops in my eyes. I am, admittedly, nosey by nature and it isn't totally uncommon to find me trying to sneak a quick peek into my fellow neighbours homes. So when I've been granted a legitimate invite to take a closer look behind someones front door, my inner design nerd becomes thrilled beyond...
Things I go crazy for? Floral wreaths, beautiful brides and Andi Mans Photography & Design. Give me one, two or all three and you'll see the face of one VERY happy blogger. And when the three combine for an inspiration shoot in sunny Florida? Almost too good to be true. Especially when it means we get to bask in the fabulous beauty expertise of ...
There is absolutely no denying that this wedding is a stunner. The images from Kay English ooze elegance, the flowers from Wallflowers are just dripping in gorgeous and this color palette? So dreamy. However, all those things combined don't even touch just how lovely this Bride and Groom are. Not even close. Because with just one look at...
Oh SMP New York, do we have a lineup of lovelies to introduce to you today. Seriously, we are sort of obsessed with them. And while I could easily blabber on about how much we adore them (I do have a tendency to go on a bit), I'll leave it to you to really get to know them because once you do, it's pretty safe to say you'll love them too. So without further ado, I introduce Victoria KyriaKides...
It's hard to believe it can get any better than a relaxing weekend in beautiful (+ sunny) CA, but I can assure you, lovelies... it can. That's because today we have the privilege of basking in some seriously gorgeous inspiration, all thanks to two brand new advertisers joining our SMP family, Robert Leidner Photography and ...
If there is one thing we love to do more than anything here at SMP, it's spend some quality time with the new additions to our advertising family. Yep, those fab vendors that inspire us on a daily basis, keep us in a continual state of awe and seriously deliver the pretty. And today's oh-so-amazing new advertiser? The ever-wonderful Ceremony Design Company, a stellar team of designers and planners that are all about...
It's those couples who seamlessly combine tradition + history with a modern touch that really gain my affection; the bride who can re-create her mother's dress without missing a beat or the groom who dons his late-grandfather's cufflinks as tribute to him. When I see these incredibly thoughtful yet effortlessly chic touches done so beautifully here on the virtual pages of SMP, it truly makes my heart happy. And as a relatively newly married lady who proudly wears her grandmother's stone, you...
Sunny Saturdays are my favorite. That goes without saying. And when that sunny Saturday happens to include two brand new (+ oh-so-fabulous) advertisers joining our SMP Family? I love those more than most. Because, really, is there anything in the world better than spending the day soaking in some gorgeous inspiration from the amazing Bentinmarcs Photography by Mark Dohring and ...
Saturday is here, and you know what that means - it's time to introduce one of the newest lovelies to join our SMP Texas family. So before you head out to conquer your list of to-do's, let's meet someone you simply must know before you say your I do's - Mathes and Co. Because whatever you are dreaming up in that pretty noggin of yours for your big day, Mathes and Co. can make it...
For the last two days, we've been poring over all of the gorgeous Spring Pinterest boards that you guys have put together. Umm, can I go out on a limb and say we have the most fashion fabulous readers on the planet? Yeah, we do. Anyway, before we announce the winner (and maaaaaaybe a runner up!!), we wanted to give you one little gift of Spring that everyone can...
Friday has rolled around once again and it's time to kick our heels up for the weekend! But before we hurry off to all the festivities and fun, we wanted to recap what's been happening in the land of SMP Living. From awe-inspiring parties, to...
This week was pretty embodied, but we've got just one more treat for you before you hit the weekend running. Ciro Photography captured Love in New York, and it's the kind of engagement session that fills your heart with so much glee. Promise me you'll take a peek at the gallery before you shut down the electronics for the day. And, as always, we'll be...
Overflowing with pretty. That's this gorgeous wedding described in three little words. It would take a million little words to really do this wedding (prettied up to perfection by Pryor Events) justice, but those three will paint a perfect picture of what you are in store for. It's made that much better because you get to see it all unfold through the talented lens of ...
Spring is all about blooms and fresh pastels and sunshine galore. Now take that concept and transform it into a wedding day and you have this Malibu affair captured by Jana Williams Photography. The color palette alone is enough to skyrocket these images into your favorites folder but paired with the florals by FlowerWild and garden glamourous details by ...
Even though the weather isn't exactly co-operating in some parts of North America, there's no denying that we're well on our way into Spring. With that in mind, we thought it'd be fun to share a few of our easy-as-pie tips and tricks to instantly transform your home for the season at hand. And if nothing else, we can at least pretend that the weather is following suit. There you have it. A quick and easy round-up from the SMP ladies. How do you like to ring in Spring? We'd love to hear...
It's no secret that we adore absolutely anything and everything Jose Villa touches and with good reason; he's one of the most wildly talented photographers we've ever come across. And that wild talent is paired with an incredibly gracious attitude that makes him all the more lovable. Now channel all that goodness into a five day learning extravaganza surrounded by creatives from all over the planet and the beautiful surroundings of...
Thanks to A Brit & A Blonde, I will be eternally obsessed with weddings in Costa Rica. These two lovebirds wed in the exact spot they met five years prior - which just so happens to be on a Costa Rican beach. A winning combination that, after a trip to the gallery, will leave you speechless and smiling.
For anyone that knows Amy and Erich McVey, you know that their love shines bright. So bright, that it might be impossible to portray that love on film. Unless you're Bryce Covey of course. He took this shiny, happy couple and captured an anniversary session as beautiful and breezy as the beach they're frolicking on. These are the moments to cherish. Long after the walk down the...
There are many things I'm quite capable of, but maintaining a garden is not one of them. Black thumbs? I've got em'! And if you happen to find yourself in the same category, this next DIY is made for us both. Succulents are the one thing I've managed to successfully keep alive for months now. And even though they require little to no maintenance, I still pat myself on the back and consider it a job well done. Get the full, step by step how-to for your very own miniature succulent garden right...
For two cuties who spend their fair share of time wine tasting and sun soaking in the Santa Ynez Valley, it was almost a foregone conclusion that they would say "I do" in the very spot they spent so many fabulous weekends. Also a foregone conclusion? Their wedding would totally blow their guests away with beautiful florals from Passion Flowers Design, a sweet rustic vibe and personal touches that were so them. (Read: finger...
