This wedding is beyond beautiful; an amazing example of rustic meets elegance with more than its fair share of romance. But when you peel back the layers upon layers of pretty, at its core is a story of love and family. A love between a darling bride and her mother, a groom and his Mrs. and a whole host of amazing friends and family. Planned (+ styled) to perfection by Maggie Gillespie Designs and captured in amazing...
I suffer from a serious case of travel fever at all times. It's something I will never be able to change, and my list of places I just have to visit continues to grow by the day. Ireland just happens to be resting comfortably at the top of my list at the moment, so this wedding (captured to stunning perfection by Lisa O'Dwyer Photography) is making my day like you wouldn't believe. Because not only is the Emerald Isle setting the stage...
Goodness, after thousands (if not more) weddings I've had the pleasure of sharing with all the lovelies who visit SMP everyday, a few things amaze me. One, that not one of them are the same - and two, that after pouring over all the pictures, I feel like I know the couples. Like I have thousands of best friends. Take this couple for instance. Their gorgeous Glen Manor House is the epitome of a traditional New England affair, but...
I sort of adore traditional weddings. And when I say "sort of adore," what I really mean is that I am 100% obsessed. Maybe that's because there is really nothing finer than a grand church ceremony followed by a breathtaking ballroom reception... and when it comes to perfecting the traditional pretty, this gorgeous Atlanta wedding has it down pat. It's pretty purple hues meets a fab Four Seasons celebration meets one...
Indian weddings are my favorite. There are so many gorgeous details, it's like the henna on the brides hand. With every go through of the gallery, there is something new. Something beautiful. Something different. And I love it all. Almond Leaf Studios has discovered the magic that is the Indian Wedding thanks to this gem right here. It's everything I love in these weddings...
I have a serious soft spot in my heart for winter weddings. The glamour, the sparkle and the endless amounts of elegance get me weak at the knees faster than you can say "fairytale romance." And with a slew of sweet details planned out by XOXO BRIDE plus the dreamiest Vera Wang gown you ever did see...
If you have kids, you know that anything involving chalk is generally a good thing. It's colorful, shareable and completely washable. Plus it's sort of fun for the grown-ups too (think brightly colored cocktails with chalk-inspired sugared rims) so it's a win/win for all. Thus, for today's installment of Party Themes, we're taking a little chalk inspiration and cranking it up a notch to two.
This wedding is all about the romance. The kind of romance that makes you absolutely weak in the knees. From the lush florals from Events in Bloom to the breathtaking Ybor City Museum Garden setting to the gallery of beautiful images captured by Raquel Sergio Photography, it's a non-stop day of romance-filled lovely.
I think it's safe to say, Fred Lee is a total keeper. He is the mastermind behind this super sweet proposal to his super sweet Bride to be, which he just so happened to catch all on film. Talk about adorable. The entire video made me break out the oohs and awwws about one hundred times this morning, and really, I can't think of a better way to spend a Friday morning. So grab your cup of coffee and cuddle up real close to join in the...
Engagement shoots? They make me happy. Desert engagement shoots featuring two darling sweeties and a whole lot of pretty? They make me soooo happy. Especially when those two sweeties happen to be serious fashionistas (oh, are they ever) and every last moment is captured by the amazing Connie Lyu, who knows a thing or two about snapping a pretty picture. It's what I'm calling a Vasquez Rocks celebration of l.o.v.e. and you can...
True Event has said it best. This wedding is filled with absolutely rad personality. Oh and color. Loads of that too. It's an explosion of prints, sequins, and modern furniture by Ryan Designs, ombre blooms by Stoneblossom and all grounded in old world Connecticut charm with...
So I've said it time and time again, but these travel posts are always so detrimental to both my productivity and my wanderlust. The Philippines have always intrigued me, but Mariel Hannah has just ensured that it's skyrocketed to the top of the list. Have you ever seen anything more picturesque? I just can't get over all the beauty. And if you're anything like me, you might want to spend some time...
There is truly no place on earth like The Cayman Islands. The dream destination boasts stunning beaches, gorgeous waters and pristine sunsets, making it the ultimate locale for lovers of life, nature and romance. Made up of three small islands, Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and ...
Here's the thing. Every day I fall in love with weddings. It's literally my job. But every so often a very special wedding comes along, and I fall so hard for it, I can't stop thinking about it. They are usually emotional weddings. Beautiful weddings. With a very special couple at the center. And after spending time with these weddings, I am filled with a urgent need to kiss my husband. Because the love from these nuptials, which every single one of...
I love, love, love a good Hill Country shindig. Not just because the surroundings are gorgeous but more so because it has this amazing rustic meets serene vibe to it. And that vibe shines through in each wedding we come across from this little pocket of Texas. Sometimes those affairs are a little more heavy on the rustic and this time it's falling on the side of crazy romantic. And the flowers by Petal Pushers and event planning by ...
So...I basically couldn't love this wedding and the couple behind it more if I tried. It's happiness in wedding form, and all planned to whimsical perfection by CCL Weddings.

You know what I can't wait to see? This darling duo's wedding. Because if their Big Day is even half as adorable as their engagement session happens to be, it's going to be one epic dose of pretty. Think smiles for miles, fun-filled frolicking and a whole lot of all caps HAPPY. And the beautiful imagery captured by Mel Silva Photography? Amazing. ...

And when that adorableness is captured by Dabble Me This with the stunning Chicago skyline peeking through all the pretty? Consider me one happy blogger. Because this is gallery is filled to the brim with sweet shots of this newly engaged couple, and...
True love is an amazing thing. Like one moment you're standing in a bar (on a not-so-wonderful date), looking across the room at a handsome stranger... and a year and a half later you're running into him again while curling. Timing, my friends, is everything. And for this darling duo, it was also just the beginning of their story. A story that is all about the magic of fate and truly being meant-to-be. See it all captured beautifully by...
