You know what I love? This wedding. This wedding with all of its crazy beautiful details and fun-filled memories. From the gorgeous State Botanical Gardens ceremony to the laid back, yet elegant reception at the uber-hip Transmetropolitan Restaurant to every last moment in between captured by Kathryn Kimmel Photography, I am head over heels for this sweet, sweet soiree.
What do you get when you combine glittery gold, confetti, champagne bubbles, chevron and pretty pinks?! Well, my friends, you get happy SMP bloggers and one gorgeous Kate Spade-inspired invitation suite from the oh-so-talented Nichole of Coral Pheasant Stationery + Design. She stuns me every time with her designs that are always so beautifully assembled, and this one? Right up there...
What started as a casual run-in at the gym turned into a love story as timeless as this Southern soiree. It's the kind of sweet garden affair that makes us believe fairytales come true, and it as everything to do with the spot-on planning by Luke Wilson Special Events. Add in the prettiest of details plus a dress so dreamy it could bring you to tears, and we're completely and totally hooked. And as if the slew of stunning images...
Ah, Italy. The place where time stands still. Where it's perfectly acceptable to drink a glass of brunello with breakfast, and an entire bottle to yourself at dinner - and not a single soul will give you even the slightest amount of side eye. Between gorgeous beachy views and sun-soaked rolling hills, there isn't a place in the world I'd rather be. Captured by Ely Fair Photography, let's take a moment to soak in this virtual vacation, shall...
13:13 Photography? They truly never disappoint. Whenever I spot their name floating in my inbox, I know I am in for the prettiest of treats. So I was just a tad bit excited when I stumbled on this beauty at The National Hotel. Classic with the prettiest of beachy twists, it's the type of fête that makes my heart pitter patter faster than I ever thought possible. I couldn't...
I think we can all agree - high school sweethearts are the cutest. And high school sweethearts that have been together for eleven years and were engaged on a romantic trip to Italy, like these two lovebirds? Well, that's a special kind of cuteness that we just love to see. So, to celebrate these two sweeties and their serious adorability, we're spending our Thursday basking in their breathtaking e-session captured by Cly Creation. And...
For as beautiful as Napa Valley is on its own, this wedding from James Moes Photography blows that beauty right out of the water. Woven into the backdrop of The French Laundry, is a day awash in pure romance. From green and lavender blooms by Flowers by Ivy to chandeliers strung from the treetops, get all the gorgeous...
Looking through the images of this Los Angeles wedding by onelove photography is to catch a glimpse of a couple that knows how to have fun; capital F kind of fun. A couple (who just so happen to be Broadway star Leslie Odom Jr. and actress Nicolette Robinson) that laughs whole heartedly and often and a couple with some killer dance moves – that's this duo in a nutshell and their wedding day is proof that laughter and love are at...
Nothing gets our giddies going like a wedding planned by Joy de Vivre. And while we heart just about any event she touches, this Solvang soiree sets the bar even higher for vineyard weddings done right. The stunning photos come as no surprise with Michael & Anna Costa snapping up the pretty, and you must, must, must take time to...
We run the gamut of style at SMP. There are some of us who swoon over whimsical fêtes. Others that get giddy over a rustic soiree. I personally love the classic weddings with a bit of a twist. But we all come together for one thing - an al fresco wedding in the warm sunshine, with a gorgeous tablescape, under twinkling lights. So when we see such a scene captured by Angie Silvy Photography and planned by ...
Let's be real, when it comes to awesome weddings the only rule is that there are none. So when these California cuties set out to plan their San Clemente nuptials, the first and foremost priority was fun. Layered with personality and sprinkled with spunk, the wedding that resulted was the kind we so wish we could attend. (Because any wedding with a main course taco-bar and an impromptu slushie stop is A-okay in my book!) Kick back and get comfy in the full gallery of ...
This is a recipe for far more than a dose of serious deliciousness... it's a recipe for an aroma so good it will send your loved ones into a full blown tummy rumbling frenzy. I for one think sauteed onion and garlic is one of the best smells on the planet (right up there with rain showers and fresh cut grass) but the fact that it's so completely easy is the absolute icing on the cake. A good marinara recipe...
South Beach is probably the most perfect spot on the planet for a chic, warm-weather fête and this one boasts a whole cocktail hour full of fresh mojitos to boot. Sign us up! With a group of talented wedding warriors including Ines Naftali Floral and Event Design behind the florals + decor and JCG Events working their magic on the planning and coordination side, this wedding...
You know the kind of wedding that is filled with so many fabulous details, like gold floral napkin rings (DIY from the bride!), cakes at every table (courtesy of JPC Event Group), and floral centerpieces to match the watercolor art gallery? They're filled with so many fabulous details and captured so lovely (by Joey Kennedy Photography, no less) that you just can't pick...
You would be hard-pressed to find a detail we don't absolutely adore about this wedding; Petal Pushers and Canvas Weddings have a whole lot to do with that. But the thing we love most is the story behind Chelsea and Tommy's wedding. It's a love affair that spanned many years, started as a friendship and blossomed over skype and a whole lot of distance. But in the end, their...
So now that you've seen the Picnic Basket that inspired us to get off our tails and plan a Kate Spade Picnic to end all picnics, it's time to get down to the nitty gritty. Let me start by saying this: I am a busy girl. The kind of girl that rarely...
When it comes to weddings, it doesn't get much prettier than a sweet Santa Barbara soiree. Maybe it's the oh-so-perfect weather, the Montecito Mountains or the downright elegance and sophistication that just comes with the territory, but whatever the reason, Santa Barbara nuptials rock. (Literally.) And when those rockin' nuptials happen to include colorful bouquets from Tenley Erin Young, yummy comfort foods from ...
Nicolle Versteeg has officially made my day. My week even. And it's all because of all the vintage sweetness sitting in this gallery. One look at the lovely will have you swooning over all the sweet details, the stunning light and the effortless yet elegant style this couple has down to a science. It's picture perfect from the first image to the last, and...
You know how I knew that this wedding was awesome? Well, besides the fact that it was held at the amazing Publican and features some seriously gorgeous details? It was the look on the dapper groom's face in every single photo captured by Artisan Events. A look that says "I am marrying the love of my life and I seriously could not be happier." The moment I laid my...
Oh this gallery feels like a breath of fresh, beautiful air. A place where you just want to inhale all the pretty - and it's all thanks to the gorgeous images and beautiful inspiration dreamt by Rebecca Wood. With the help of gorgeous florals from Sweet Woodruff, sweet stationery from Bespoken Letterpress and a...
