I minored in Art History during college, so I like to think I know a thing or two about Van Gogh. But in reality, my knowledge pretty much start and ends with The Starry Night. And while I probably couldn't rattle you off all the fancy pants interpretations of his work, I know for darn certain this photo shoot from Orange Blossom Special Events and ...
Happy Friday, SMPers! It's really starting to feel like summer around these parts and we're taking full advantage of that over on SMP Living, with gorgeous al fresco affairs that make entertaining a breeze, summer styles with...
I've been making guacamole for as long as I can remember. With lime and smashed garlic and those gorgeous black avocados (Hass) that turn all creamy and good once you mix everything in. Well, those perfect avocados aren't always round these parts of New England so when we were planning our Mexican inspired party we used whatever avocado we could find. The texture of the green ones (Gwen, Pinkerton and Reed) is a bit grainier and doesn't quite come out as smooth (unless they are SUPER ripe) but...

Living in New England, I've discovered how very boring supermarket tortillas can be. They are no where near the soft, fluffy varieties that I grew up with and for lack of a better description, are merely vehicles to hold the goodness inside. So imagine if that vehicle was like the mercedes of tortillas. A bit thicker than you might expect, soft, full of flavor and so addicting you might find yourself in the kitchen at 2AM slathering them with butter and devouring them right up. Yeah, these are...
Engagement sessions totally make my day, so an engagement session with this much style? It's in the running to make my month. Captured perfectly by Lydiane Gaborieau Photographe, it has a rustic yet hipster vibe that is totally in a category all of its own. Top it off with a soon-to-be-Mr & Mr? And this e-sesh is one for the books.
A brunch wedding is just genius to me. Celebrating your nuptials over a mimosa? It's like having your cake and eating it too. And when you happen to celebrate in serious style like this duo? Well, then you enter an entirely new level of fabulous. So grab your beverage of choice, and join us in toasting to Ashley Biess Photography for bringing us such a fab fête.
If you know me in the slightest, you know that given the chance, I would pick my hubby (and puppy) up and move to Paris tomorrow. I am not exaggerating one little bit. I love that city as if I grew up there, and it's only because in a small way, I did. There is something about Paris that is different from any other place, and to see an engagement session capturing the love of two people who grew up in way there too, pulls at my heart strings like you wouldn't believe. So this post captured...
Traditional affairs in Texas have a style all their own. A sort of "traditional with a kick," if you will. And when that amped-up style meets two seriously stunning cuties and the amazing work of Julie Wilhite Photography, it takes it to an entirely new level. A level planned to absolute perfection by Something to Celebrate and boasting beautiful blooms from...
Springtime in New England is picture perfect. Kind of like stepping into a Tom Hanks meets Meg Ryan movie. And all of that big screen prettiness? Well, it makes for one uber-gorgeous engagement session setting. One that mixes the crisp, fresh air with blooming florals and summertime anticipation. Add in some breathtaking Boston backdrops, two sweethearts in love and Megan W Photography to capture every second and it's a...
Georgia, Georgia, Georgia. You have weddings down pat. It's as if all the Brides in your pretty parts have a magic wand to wave over their days and create the most perfect of parties filled with sentiment...they almost appears effortless. Now, I know that isn't the case, but weddings like this one captured by Claudia McDade Photography make me feel like I am seriously missing out on some Georgia girl secrets. But this wedding?

Call me crazy, but out of all the color palettes in the wedding world, black and white is still my all-time favorite. It's the textbook definition of timeless, and can fancy up even the most casual of occasions. So when you translate this classic palette to an outdoor plantation affair planned by Engaging Affairs, the result is magic...a wedding I can assure you will never go out of style. ...
I am obsessed with this wedding. First, I fell in love with this Bride's Monique Lhuillier stunner of a gown. And then? Well, then I just fell head over heels with every thing else in this vintage yet elegant piece of wedding perfection. So perfect in fact, I want to reach through my computer screen and hug Margaret Events for bringing us such a beauty. It's simply...

Napa is in a league all of its own. It's true. After years of pouring over weddings, there isn't anything that makes me stop and swoon like a beloved wine country wedding. So when a fête like this one from Glow Event Design and Gavin Farrington Photography lands in my lap, I melt into a pile of wedding-loving mush. And really, there is no other way I'd rather be.
Napa Valley is one of those places that never grows old, never loses its luster and, in turn, always makes for the most gorgeous of backdrops. It's an extra special, secret-sauce blend of natural, gorgeous light, wine a plenty and beautiful outdoor spaces for marrying. We call it wedding Mecca, and through the lens of Sylvie Gil, it's a beautiful, beautiful thing.
