I had what can only be described as the complete opposite of a modern wedding. It was barn, mason jars, the whole rustic nine yards. And don't get me wrong, I loved every second of it but in terms of wedding re-do dreams, I'm 100% on Team Modern. The fresh, clean design of this W Hotel affair is right in keeping with all those modern musings. See it all, photographed by nbarrett photography, right here...
An infusion of cultures, a celebration of family (+ friends) and a natural setting that will take your breath away. This stunning day captured by Tyler Branch is the perfect way to start the weekend... and just an amazing way to spend a few hours in general. It's a plethora of light-filled images meets stunning orange hues meets some of the loveliest details you will ever, ever see and it's all sitting pretty in the full gallery.
I have this urn that I've been holding hostage. It was sent to me filled to the brim with pretty stems designed by my sweet friend Yumiko, of Hana Floral Design, for my mother-in-law's surprise party. And I keep meaning to send it back. But then, I see it out of the corner of my eyes and can't resist filling it...

This wedding is stunning. It's filled to the brim with perfect little touches, perfect little moments captured beautifully by Benny Jewell Photography. But if I can be perfectly honest, my most favorite thing about this entire wedding are the words the gorgeous Bride sent to us. They are just a little peek into the love this couple shares, and show just how meaningful this day was. Which just warms my heart right up. So set aside...
When you can necessarily have all of your nearest and dearest come cross country to California to celebrate your nuptials - what's the next best thing? Bring California to them. Which is just what this new Mr. & Mrs. did. The result was a fusion of their favorite things done just the way they like it, and it was all sweetly snapped up by Claudia Hung. It's sophisticated, yet seaside inspired, and...
Traditional affairs? They rock. Rock in ways that are almost indescribable. Because stunning ceremonies, breathtaking ballroom receptions and glamourous details are kind of a lethal combination. Today's shining example? An elegant gem of a day captured by Emilia Jane Photography, which just so happens to be boasting beautiful blooms from Bunches, a killer...
I've been lost in this gorgeous London wedding for ohhhh, about two hours nows. Maybe three. It's just so beautifully captured by Sarah Gawler that the images keep calling me back. And the Bride and Groom sitting in those images? Some of the most stylish I've ever come across. With their gorgeously romantic ceremony and reception followed by what else? A masquerade ball - this wedding is simply one for the books.
You know what I absolutely adore about Texas weddings? Lone Star State brides have some serious style. It's a style that this stunning San Antonio bride most certainly possesses, and it's shining bright in every moment of her wedding weekend. From the Day Before session with her handsome beau right down to the uber-gorgeous nuptials, there's not a single second that won't leave you completely breathless. See it all captured by...
Through the years, the vendors that grace the pages of SMP have become dear friends of mine. It's one of the truly special things about what I do. And the team of talents behind this wedding at Chamard Vineyards? They are simply the sweetest, and seriously talented to boot. So it's no surprise to me that with TRUE Event behind the design, Lindsay of ...
I don't need to tell you just how adorable high school sweethearts are... I mean, let's face it, they are the sheer definition of adorability. So when we get the chance to meet two such cuties, it fills our day with unmeasurable amounts of happy. Take for example this darling twosome, who are kind of the cutest duo ever AND happen to be boasting a pretty romantic proposal story (hint: there was a waterfall). See every last minute of their beautiful e-session captured by...
Now this is what I call a wedding... and no surprises here, it was planned, designed, flora'd and housed at Cedarwood Weddings. But aside from the gorgeous locale, this whole day pulls at my heartstrings. The bride wore pearls, gifted to her by her mother in law before she passed away, while dancing with her love to bluegrass played by her grandfather.
Woven in the depths of this beautiful day is a love story that spans across the world and back. From a college anthropology class to a sabbatical in South Africa, these two lovies planned their long-awaited wedding with no shortage of heart, soul, and homage to their adventures along the way. Heather Waraksa snapped up every can't-miss moment, and there's more...
I swear I blinked and Friday was here. Don't you love when that happens? To celebrate, I'm thinking that I'll need to indulge in Melissa's version of a sweet treat. Coined as the cococabana cocktail, this combination of rum and coconut is right up my alley. And really, what's a Friday without an ice cold coconuty concoction? Cheers...

One that charms your socks off with one light-filled image after another from Kelian Photography, a sweet proposal story and a whole lot of love. ...
Inspiration is like my coffee, my fuel. It gives me energy to tackle my day in the prettiest of ways, so when I came across this beauty of a shoot at one of my favorite venues, The Foundry, I just knew it would be like a double shot to my morning inspiration-fest. And boy was I right. It was dreamt up by one fabulous team - with florals from Mimosa Floral Design Studio...
This wedding? This bundle of epically awesome goodness set against the stunning Thomas Fogarty Winery?

I'm now fully convinced that onelove photography acquires the coolest clients and today is such a great example. From the Italian villa inspired wedding this morning to this desert wedding infused with emerald details crafted by Artisan Events and a Bride in...
We love you all like sisters (and brothers), so when we hear of something happening through the grapevine that you NEED to know about, we climb right up to the SMP rooftops and prepare to shout as loud as virtually possible. Which is precisely what we are doing right now. Because the talented ladies behind Bash, Please are putting on their (stylish) teacher hats, and if you have any interest in weddings, growing your career or learning about...
