Though I had a hard time believing this soft, sunny day took place in Seattle, I knew from the moment I opened up the pretty in pink soiree from VOWS Wedding & Event Planning that I 100% loved it. Don't get me wrong, I love Seattle's weather, but the sun was shining on a day so stunning it could only have been captured so perfectly by Carol Harrold Photography. It would...

Sarah True is sort of like family. Here at SMP we've known her and loved her for as long as we've had this blog. She's charming. She's lovely. She's got more talent in her pinky finger than most of us have in our whole world. And she's made to be a mommy. Of the very best kind. So we were all a flutter when Sarah sent us pictures of her sweet nursery and even sweeter baby boy. With images from the lovely...

Studio Impressions captured all the beauty of Bali plus every last detail of this destination affair. It's a must-see...

Objektiv Photography described this wedding as one of the most beautiful weddings they've ever photographed, and one peek at the pictures sitting pretty in this gallery and I can see why. The scenery is beautiful, the details are beautiful, the guests are beautiful - and the Bride and Groom? They are beautiful and then some. So when all of those things combine...
Now that spring has officially sprung, and summer's just on the horizon, we can now truly begin to lose ourselves in daydreams of warm, outdoor soirees and chilled glasses of champagne. And with summer celebrations come a more laid-back style, especially for our guys! The timing couldn't be better, because The Dessy Group is introducing a...
It's crazy how beautiful San Francisco weddings can be. Borderline unfair, if you think about it. Because if there is anywhere in the world that was built to host drop-dead gorgeous affairs, it's The City by the Bay. And this little gem of a wedding from Zach Anderson Photography? Well, it's exactly what we've come to expect from this Northern CA paradise with a sweet duo dedicated to putting special (+ personal)...
Do you want to know one of the things I absolutely love? When a Bride can look back on her day and say she wouldn't have it any other way. When things fell into place just so, and the end result was a dream day for the new Mr. & Mrs. Well, Grey Sparrow is bringing us just such a couple and just such a day today, and I could kiss them for it. Because a dream day for a Bride makes for a dream day for me, and you can see every perfect detail...

And this sweet Chicago proposal planned to perfection by Citygirl Weddings is certainly no exception with a...
A post-wedding Bridal Session. Now there's an idea I can get behind. Especially if it's one that is as amazingly beautiful as this one captured by Charla Storey Photography. Because if there is anything in the world as exciting as stepping into your wedding gown on your Big Day, it's getting to do it all over again. And with stunning florals from Kate Foley Designs and a...
When I first took a peek at this sweet e-session from Anna Kim Photography, I swore up and down that it was a photo shoot. Complete with models and stylists. Come to find out, this is just what real life looks like for these two soon to be newlyweds. Gorgeous is their norm, and it has me biting at the bit to see just how gorgeous their big day turns out. Thankfully I have...
I don't know what it is about you Massachusetts brides, but you really have beautiful barn weddings down to an absolute science. I suspect some hip, secret wedding society, but until I have further proof, I'll just have to believe that know one knows how to barn bash better than you. Proving my point whole-heartedly? This gorgeous Peabody affair, which happens to be the perfect mix of sweet rustic details and Fall-inspired pretty, all wrapped up in one stunning...
It's not often that middle school romance blossoms into a full fledged love story, but when it does, you simply can't help but get wrapped up in all the cuteness. What's even more adorable? Urban Poppy helped to weave the love notes written by these two cuties back in their younger years throughout the celebration. That's when the ahhhh's come out in full force. It's a southern wedding that is literally as sweet as they come, and thanks...
If you've ever been to New Orleans, whether for Mardi Gras, the weekend, or a fabulous wedding, you'll agree with the bride who says "a good party is expected" after tying the knot in the Big Easy. I can only imagine NOLA weddings are the most fun. So when Stacy Reeves sent over the N'awlins nuptials of two fellow wedding photographers, planned by Sapphire Events New Orleans...
I can say with certainty that this wedding is the perfect marriage of modernity and tradition. It's the timeless palette mixed with an ultracrisp design. The ball gown and bow ties paired with accessories that pop. And it's the classic church ceremony alongside a beer brewery reception. Long story short, it's the kind of wedding that redefines tradition and deserves a category all its own. Mango Studios captured a full gallery of goodies...
Since starting Style Me Pretty 6 years ago, I've had two babies. Audrey and William, 4 and 2 respectively. And they are perfection. Often messy, cranky, intense perfection, but perfection nonetheless. With little pink lips and eyes that sparkle and a smile that would melt just about any heart. So perfect that our two-is-enough rule is always on the brink of cracking. And after seeing this newborn session from Lindsay Madden, I...
I'll be the first to tell you that I absolutely adore a couple who gets a little creative with their e-sessions. Crazy cool props, fab themes, unique settings? I love it more than most. But, sometimes all it takes is a breathtaking backdrop, two of the cutest sweeties you'll ever lay your eyes upon and image after image of pure lovely and it's more than enough. And that's exactly the sweet combo we have in this beautiful shoot from ...
Let me just preface this post by saying I LOVE accessories. Give me some basics and a drawer full of baubles + bags, and I'm set for life. So when I laid eyes on the incredible new collection of bridal adornments + accessories by M&J Bridal Salon, my obsession went into overdrive. Introduced to the bridal world by fashion industry staple M&J Trimming...
Summer garden parties are amazing. We all know that. So, when you combine a summer garden party with a sweet pair of nuptials? Pure and absolute heaven. Which is exactly how I would describe this darling affair from Stephen Pappas Photography with its DIY details (I am looking at you, beautiful blooms), vintage meets eclectic stylings and downright gorgeous ...
We're currently trying to beat the Monday blues with this fabulously inspiring Behind the Blog peek at Erin from Apartment 34. I have to admit, I think it's working. I mean, the woman is built out of brilliance and beauty (both of the inside and out variety). And it's been such a pleasure to get to learn a little bit more! To see the other fabulous...
