When it comes to throwing an uber-fabulous wedding celebration, this darling NSW duo really knows how it's done. I mean, really knows how it's done. Because not only did they fly with all of their friends and family to New Zealand for a week of fun-filled festivities (think snowboarding, skiing and nights out on the town), they booked the entire Cardrona Hotel on the night of their wedding, so their guests could have a roaring...
This couple has quite the predicament on their hands. Because every single image captured by Adrian Photography sitting in this gorgeous gallery deserves to hang proudly on their wall - and picking their favorite would be close to impossible. Lucky for all of us, we don't have to pick a favorite, we can just get lost in all the engagement session...
In my three years of happy blogging here at SMP, I've loved many Chicago engagement sessions. Many, many Chicago engagement sessions. But this Navy Pier shoot captured perfectly by Nicodem Creative? I don't think I've ever been this smitten. Maybe that has a little something to do with this beyond darling duo, who met while backpacking through Europe and spend their days traveling the globe whilst basking in their...
You know what I really love? I love when couples really understand the importance of capturing the time in their life surrounding their big day. I really love when they capture those moments in serious style, like these two. Who, decided why not get Jenny Futography to snap up some sunset shots before their big day? Because the result was pure perfection, and you can see them all...
This Bride? She is one talented little lady. And it only takes a quick peek at all the pretty she produced for her big day to see why I have deemed her one crafty little Bride. She, her handsome Groom and their family and friends made their wedding dreams a reality - and those dreams just happened to be gorgeous. The Reason captured every little dreamy detail, so be sure to check out all the lovely sitting pretty right here in the...
Elizabeth Clark Photography is one seriously awesome bestie. Because not only did she write the sweetest description EVER of her best friend and her dapper Mr. (a serious must-read), she happened to capture some of the prettiest pics we will ever have the privilege to lay our eyes upon. Pics that feature the aforementioned stunning duo, the breathtaking city of Boston and a whole lot of l.o.v.e. Care to bask in every last...
If there were ever a bride who was made for a pink wedding, here she is. Pink, a favorite color around the SMP offices, just suits her. A pink wedding with a beautiful design and stunning blooms from Viburnum Designs complements her blush Vera Wang gown like nothing else. The gallery is, of course...
Piece together the perfect moments of this Ritz Carlton wedding, and you'll find a day that will stand the test of time -- a classic romance and thoughtfully designed celebration. Planned in the hands of Weddings and the City, it's the kind of affair that glamorizes the black-and-white basics and oozes with elegance from head to toe.
Though I'm all about easy dishes that can be thrown together in a pinch, once in a while it's nice to slow down and spend some quality time in the kitchen. Getting reacquainted with your pasta maker and pots and pans can be incredibly satisfying, I swear. Hand me a (large) glass of chilled white wine, play some really great music and send me off with Almond Corner's recipe for white asparagus ...
Running late for a flight isn't exactly what I would call a blessing, but for these two sweeties, there's just no other way to describe it. That's because their late flights (on the same plane!) resulted in the chance meeting that would forever change their worlds... and the introduction to the one that was "meant to be." Kinda movie-esque, don't you think? And just wait until you lay your eyes on their beautiful farm wedding, a whimsical meets romantic affair filled with "quirky" details...
Call me nostalgic, or still in "my wedding is over" denial, but I find myself leafing through my wedding photo album weekly. The beautifully laid out pages filled with lovely images of the best day ever keep a permanent smile on my face. Lucky for brides + grooms past and present, The Album Room has made creating gorgeous albums simple and seriously fun. The super luxe and affordable albums from...
If I could, I would host a tea party every day. You think I am joking, but I am soooo not. And if it was a Victorian-inspired tea party like this one from the talented team of Etablir, Kristen Booth and Fascinare? Twice a day just might be in order... and I would fill every last moment with fab paper good...
I'm a sucker for romantic moments...a chance meeting, or an act of fate. So when I first soaked in this serendipitous love story (a total must-read below) I just knew the wedding would be something really special. And thanks to Galas by Gerry, Lane Dittoe and Lunch Pail Pictures we get to bask in all the beauty of this...
I met Ariane maybe 6 years ago. Just as I was starting Style Me Pretty. She had recently launched a gorgeous and crazy smart bridesmaids collection called twobirds Bridesmaids. And what I remember most from that first meeting was Ariane's grace. Her pure, innate elegance. And it translates into everything she touches...from her beautiful clothing to her homes, one of which was featured in Lonny Mag. So of course, when she...
There are beautiful weddings, and then they are beautiful weddings. Weddings that feel like they are straight out of a book. Romance in the most exciting places, warmth hugging you from every image (thank you for that John and Colette | Photography & Beauty), and just the perfect amount of drama. Often these beautiful weddings are filled with flowers so lovely, they are more a work of art than a bridal bouquet (thank you for that...
Aside from showing you how simple it is to incorporate your Target Registry picks into real life get togethers, we also wanted to delve a little more behind the scenes for a peek into the makings of this Rustic Dinner Party. We teamed up with our friends who also happen to be the insane talent behind StudioNow to put together a little dinner party montage. It's a...
This particular art project can be done in record time and is virtually impossible to mess up (my kind of DIY!) Chances are you're going to feel really silly at first, but I promise it gets fun once you get past the ridiculousness of it all. It’s a satisfying way to get bright colors up on your walls really fast, and is so pretty it’s hard not to feel a sense of accomplishment when it's all complete.
This Sydney wedding as seen in Bride to Be Magazine? It's a stunner from start to finish. It has that easy elegance that never fails to leave me in a blissful state of swooning, and gorgeous details that just seemed to fall perfectly into place. It doesn't hurt, of course, that it was all beautifully captured by Inlighten Photography giving us an oh-so-gorgeous look into this...
One of my favorite details of every wedding? The dress. Hands down, without a doubt, it gets me every single time. From the seriously stunning to the beyond breathtaking, it's just one of those details that never, ever fails to take your breath away. And this beautiful masterpiece? This amazingly blue Roberto Cavalli? It's breathtaking. And the kind of gown we seriously live for here at SMP. See it and soooo much more...
Now that we've introduced you to all the lovable traits of Libby & Jim, broken down the key elements they want for their home and those that are making up their fab Rustic Target Registry, we thought we would take some of those pieces and show you just how they translate into an alfresco...
