This bride lives and breathes Manhattan every day, so for her most special day, she wanted something a little more organic. Something fresh and alive. She got just that. With a floral design that almost lives and a venue so perfectly natural, the day was absolutely gorgeous, especially when offset by the almost architectural Peter Langner gown. Captured by Erik Ekroth, it's a wedding...
I've forever been a fan of The Great Gatsby, and am shamelessly counting down the days until the big screen movie next month. Leo DiCaprio, anyone?! But in the meantime, I've directed all my attention to this perfectly styled shoot that evokes every ounce of that Gatsby glam. With one crazy talented crew including Jubilee Events, The White Dress by the Shore and ...
We are turning the volume up seriously loud on Style Me Pretty Living today. Like neon loud. Because as we were working on our latest and greatest Party Theme idea, we realized that our Neon celebration was so stinking adorable, with DIY for days, that we had to spend a whole day devouring the pretty. And I'm willing to bet that by the day's end, even the most doubtful readers will be turned into official neon groupies. So first up, the inspiration that started it all... Coming up next we...
This morning's dose of sweetness comes to us via the lens of the oh-so-talented Amalie Orrange Photography, and for that I couldn't be more grateful. Because their images are not only beautiful, but they also tell a story of two people, two families coming together all because a little love was sprinkled on them. Surrounded by the most precious of details and the most stunning of ranch settings at ...
It doesn't get much better than a beautiful NYC affair, don't you agree, lovelies? Especially when that beautiful affair is filled to the brim with seriously chic details, uber-happy faces and a stunning reception held at Eleven Madison Park. That's a day that is worthy of a swoon or two (or three), so we're considering ourselves lucky that this little beauty captured by...
There is a little spot in Nashville where the prettiest of pretty weddings are produced and it goes by the name of Historic Cedarwood. It's a place where vintage details run a plenty and everything is designed in house – meaning the gorgeous florals, the ceremony by candlelight, those tablescapes dripping in lace – all those details crafted at the hands of ...
Just the mere mention of the words "California wine country" and your mind automatically drifts to thoughts of drop-dead gorgeous scenery and cozy moments sipping on the world's most amazing wine. You just can't help it. And when you add the word "wedding" to the mix, well, that's an entirely new level of daydreaming. Especially when that wedding is an intimate meets rustic soiree held at the breathtaking Murrieta's Well Winery and...
With all the fashion, food, home, travel and pretty parties my heart so desires, SMP Living was bound to become my virtual bestie. And since its official launch just a few months ago, this mecca of fabulous features has lived up to its promise in every way possible. Whether it's taking a home tour through a modern French apartment, or discovering the...
I heart this post. Big time. Because not only are we sharing three super cute ways to decorate your desk, we also happen to be giving away one of our complete designs! Full GIVEAWAY details below. So the back story is this. At our SMP headquarters we have 3 white parsons desks that line a single wall. And have nothing but a pretty yellow lamp on each of them. It's streamlined and clean and modern. But, lacks any and all...
It may rhyme with another holiday but Ballantyne Hotel & Spa was made for a New Year's Eve wedding. Or at least, this NYE wedding. The soft grays and sparkly silvers, the campy-chic hats and tiaras, the lush florals and the faux NYE ball... made for this fabulous venue. And of course, add Steve Michael of Kristin Vining Photography into the equation, and it's all...
I always get really, really excited when I see a Jemma Keech feature. Her photos are the stuff that turns a field into a masterpiece, a wedding gown into pure art and all while letting the love of a couple truly shine through. Frolicking in a sea of lavender surely doesn't hurt either. Have a look at the full portrait session captured impeccably by Jemma...
We recently shared some of our personal spring must-haves, and kind of can't get enough of the whole idea. Being nosey by nature, we thought it'd be fun to take a peek at a few things that our favourite ladies in the fashion world are coveting this season. Over the next little while we'll be showcasing some of the prettiest of the pretty spring fashion round ups, as curated by some of the top names...
When a wedding is this beautiful, you have to stop and stay awhile. Or more accurately, stop and stare awhile. Because days like this? They are sooo chock-full of beautiful details and sooo filled with magical moments, you need more than just a few minutes to soak it all in. From the breathtaking Stoneridge Estate setting to the beautiful blooms from ...
The Parker Palm Springs is high on the list of places I find myself day dreaming about on dreary New England days. I've had the pleasure of getting aquainted with this stunning space through the pages of SMP, and even though I've never been - I'm pretty obsessed. It has style for miles, and the couples it attracts? The most stylish in the land. Top all that off with design from ...
Find me a bride or groom who doesn't love coming home to packages piled high at their door. Whether the boxes are brimming with wedding gifts or DIY essentials, it's like Christmas morning every single day. And in our crazy-hectic lives, the only thing better than getting pretty goodies delivered daily would be selecting when and where they are delivered. So my dears, let me introduce you to...
Lesson of the day: if you happen to own an adorable dog named "Newton" and you also happen to know how to throw a crazy gorgeous wedding, I will desperately want to be your best friend. And I mean desperately. Because when I laid my eyes on these amazing images by Bloom Photography and read the bride's beautiful description, I instantly began dreaming of shopping trips and happy hours with my new besties. Bride and groom crush?
There is absolutely no doubt that Salvage One is one amazing place to say I do. So amazing in fact, this gorgeous Bride knew even before she had a ring on her finger that it was THE place to tie the knot. Lucky for her, her amazing Groom not only popped the question, but he also booked the venue before getting down on one knee. How much do you love that? Totally a keeper. ...
Barbados is pretty much like the land of fabulous. A place where sunny blue skies meet even bluer ocean waves and dream weddings happen every minute of every day. So, jetting off to this gorgeous locale to say I do? A serious no-brainer. As is enlisting the services of the majestic Crane Resort, the always-fabulous Scobey Photography and a plethora of other talented...
When a group of uber-talented Texas vendors join forces to create an edgy meets vintage Dallas photo session, gorgeous things can happen. Gorgeous things like a door turned table lined with stunning red florals from We + You, yummy treats from CakeWalk Bake Shop and dazzling gold accents styled by Off Your Shoulders.
In my years pouring over the pretty at SMP, I've seen a lot of amazing venues, but this couple's summer camp wedding at Camp Mataponi just might take the cake for the most adorable. It was a weekend filled of summer fun for all their guests, topped off with the sweetest of ceremonies for the two lovebirds. Lucky for all of us, we get to see all the fun unfold through the pretty-as-can-be-pictures from ...
