You know how I knew I was going to love every last second of this sweet Amherst wedding? Three words: The Red Barn. A seriously gorgeous locale more than perfect for rustic meets elegant partying and saying "I do" under a sea of towering trees. And this adorable duo? Well, they also happen to make loving this wedding easy, with their cute-as-can-be proposal story (must.read.below) and their smiling faces...
I am quickly learning that flowers set the stage. The mood. The everything. Flowers are everything. So when an inspiration shoot with a floral design this lovely, from Mondo Floral Designs no less, comes across my desk, especially when it's been captured by Studio Impressions, my day has been set. Set fabulous, happy, gorgeous, and good.
Not long ago we shot a Mother's Day feature here at my house. And we didn't have time to make little donuts so we ran out to the grocery and picked up a package of those powdered sugar mini donut things that are so freaking good. Anyway, it was the first time my son had one and I would give anything to go back to that moment and put my camera in my hand because the look of pure bliss on his face was...
I'll admit it...I get a little case of the giddies every time a Wedding Wednesday rolls around. But it's not without good reason. Wednesdays are a one-way ticket to real wedding swoon-ville with morning-til-night "I dos" in every shape and size. And to start off today's festivities is this Idaho affair from the ever-so-talented Hillary Mayberry. It's a twist on the traditional with nautical details sprinkled in along the way. So...

From this moment on, this sweet fête will forever define whimsical backyard weddings for me. Why you ask? Well because it's just everything. Everything that makes me adore backyard weddings mixed with a seriously talented (and handy) couple who helped make it all come to life. And when we get to see it all come to life via the gorgeous images from Dutton + James? That's when I'm a goner, and I will officially proclaim this wedding...
You have to admire a couple that can dodge family pressure for fourteen years before they tie the knot. My husband and I managed to make it seven years, so we know all to well. But I can assure you, friends and family of this twosome will agree that fourteen years in the making was so worth the wait. Photographed by Pictilio, this backyard affair is both a beautiful celebration of love and a homage to the Bride's mother who passed away. And...
Peonies are one of our most-loved flowers here at SMP Living and for good reason—they're just so darn gorgeous. The best part about these beautiful blooms? They stand so well solo or with just a touch of greenery, that arranging them is super simple and rather satisfying if you ask us. So that we can enjoy them throughout the whole season, we've come up with three fresh ways to arrange them, whether bunched by a bedside table, as a centerpiece for a summer tablescape or an accent to your...
These two cuties were engaged among the macarons and champagne of Paris, and the wedding which followed was oh so fitting of that romantic proposal.

I can't begin to tell you how many weddings I've fallen in love with on the pages of SMP. From the eclectic and cool to the refined and traditional, it's a love-fest around here day in and day out. But this New Orleans affair, my dears, is different. Special, really. Why? Because when a destination wedding is designed by the likes of P.S. Creative and Kim Starr Wise, it...
Reason #190218 why I love summer: camping! Or, rather, glamping, if I'm being honest. Fancified camping is totally my schtick. The idea of grabbing your gear, tossing the kids in the car and heading out to the great outdoors to cook over an open flame and fish in still water is really what summer's all about. Captured by Clary Photo, it's a safe bet that I'll be following in her footsteps in the coming months. ...
I absolutely adored every moment of my big day, but I often find myself having "why didn't I do that?" moments when swimming through the sea of pretty that is Style Me Pretty. Which is exactly what happened when I saw this pre-wedding shoot from Bentinmarcs Photography. Because a pre-wedding shoot, where you get to don your gown with your main squeeze, is just pure genius to me. And although I am a bit bummed I didn't think to do the...

Texas weddings hold a special place in my heart. Over the years as I have cozied up with all the goodness on SMP Texas, I've learned something important - whatever the particular style of a Texas wedding, whether it's ballroom or backyard - they share two common ingredients, heart and family. Anahi Weddings brought us just such a heart warming wedding, where family had a hand in every gorgeous detail, and you can see every last...

I think it goes without saying that I am tad bit obsessed with gorgeous details, but I will tell you the thing that gets me even more giddy - the way the new Mr. & Mrs. look at each other. That's a moment I could swoon over for hours. Which is precisely what happened when I landed on these gorgeous images by Kara Pearson. This couple's Topsfield wedding couldn't have been cozier or move love-filled, and that - I love.
