It's been years since I've been on a true beach vacation. You know the ones where you conveniently forget your makeup bag at home and let the wind and salty air deal with your hair on its own? Ah, the beachy mane - how I love thee. I actually didn't realize I was craving that kind of relaxation until making my way through these incredible photos of The Outer Banks. Captured by Elaine Palladino, I'm thinking that something like this...
I love this wedding. Not because it was super gorgeous (even though it was) or perfectly planned (again, it was) but for the heart. The love that went into it. The brides wanted their favorite blooms, succulents, but because they were going to be hard to get in New Orleans... they grew them in their garden in California, packed them up in a suit case, and flew them to their wedding. And that is just one of the many amazingly heartfelt details...
Next up on our Best Dressed Blogger list is the fabulous Sarah Yates of A House in the Hills. I'm pretty certain she need not an introduction as these pictures speak for themselves (hello gorgeous!) This girl has more style in her pinky...
I hate to be dramatic, but this wedding has officially taken my love of Jessica Burke up to a whole new level. She has a serious knack for capturing the most jaw-dropping weddings and this Santa Cruz beauty is no different. Add in the talents of Coastside Couture, and you've got a day that's practically begging to find a home on this little ol' wedding blog. So sit back...
Dripping in vintage-inspired details and one drop-dead gorgeous moment after another, this Pasadena affair is kind of taking my breath away. Which makes perfect sense, really, since classic meets vintage is sort of one of my favorite ways to celebrate. Add in a crazy gorgeous setting like Pandora on Green, the fab stylings of Lux Events and Design and a whole...
Two high school sweethearts, one gorgeously romantic wedding nine years in the making, and images from Nerida McMurray so pretty I could kiss them? It's going to be a good day on SMP Australia. A good day indeed. And one peek into all the pretty planned by the gorgeous Bride herself, and you'll see precisely what I am talking about. It's image after image of timeless perfection, and...
Brides out there are so lucky these days. They have inspiration at their finger tips everywhere they turn, and access to the greatest talents to bring that inspiration to life. And this shoot dreamt up by Amanda Douglas Events? Another gorgeous dose of pretty for Brides to devour. With florals from Fancy Fleurs, stationery from ...
If I've learned anything in my days here at SMP, it's that you Illinois bride and grooms really know how to throw a wedding. From the traditional stunners to the backyard sweeties (and everything in between), you have lovely soirees down to an absolute science. So, it's no surprise that this darling day captured by Jasmine Nicole is basically the epitome of pretty. It's Downton Abbey meets Anne of Green Gables (the bride's...
Today I am dreaming of a breathtaking Riviera Maya wedding. A wedding filled with chevron touches, beautiful colors (ahem, teal blue) and some of the world's most stunning views. In other words, I am dreaming of this gorgeous affair from Emily Steffen, which has me basically mesmerized with its darling details, adorable duo and laid-back vibe that is all kinds of crazy wonderful. Care to take a virtual trip to paradise? ...
Cinco de Mayo happens to be one of my favorite holidays (who can resist the fun-filled festivities and yummy cuisine?), so when I read that this darling duo decided to throw their Big Day bash amongst those May 5th celebrations, I knew I was going to LOVE their wedding. A wedding that was not only held on one of my fave days, but incorporated Spanish-inspired design from Foster Blue and Southwestern cuisine, too. That's what we call a...
Backyard weddings have come a long way, and after soaking up every last gorgeous bit of this perfect Georgia soiree, I think you'll agree. Because this beautiful celebration is perfect amounts pretty and personal, and it was all planned to perfection by Firefly. With Marianne Brown Photography behind the lens capturing every magical moment, it goes without saying...
This shoot defines lovely. Lovely with a side of some serious style. Lovely dreamt up by Erin Ostreicher Designs and Christina Bernales, and made possible by one talented team of vendors. The images sitting in this gallery captured by...
Today we have a lesson in Southern weddings done right. Of course, Cedarwood Weddings is a must, and with the added mason jars, beautiful blooms, and amazing cupcake tower (seriously... how great is that?), this wedding from Love is a Big Deal is kind of my favorite. It's sweet, it's hospitable, and it's filled with so much Southern Charm.
Putting together these fashion round-ups is always terribly dangerous for my wallet. In large, I try my best to avoid shopping altogether (I tend to splurge on travel in lieu of clothes), but it doesn't mean that I don't covet pretty fashion finds on the regular. The good news is that, at these prices, I could easily tuck a few of these guys in my shopping cart without doing a ton of damage. Give your toes a...
Confession time. I've been a little bit obsessed with traveling to Bali ever since I saw the movie Eat, Pray, Love. That's legit, right? It may have been the glamorized soul searching or the fact that Julia Roberts could make anything look amazing, but it's still the one locale sitting at the top of my must-see list. So, you can only imagine my giddies the very second I stumbled upon these photos from Erika Gerdemark Photography...
The roles of both bride and bridesmaid are two of the best you'll ever get to play. And whether it's your big day or you're standing by your friend's side as she says "I do" to the love of her life, we simply can't forget about the stress surrounding one little detail — the dress! Lucky for us, there's Brideside, an online designer boutique and resource for bridesmaids that streamlines the dress selection and purchasing process so you...
These two are adorable, with smiles for miles and a love that is seriously palpable (it jumps right off the computer screen, lovelies). And even more so, they are obviously best friends. The kind that love to laugh, play and spend the day holding hands. I adore them. And when you spend some time delving into their amazing e-session captured by Weddings By Two? You will, too. Read the bride's sweeter than sweet description and...
We love a good Michael + Anna Costa wedding for so many reasons. But the two that stand out time and again are 1) They're always filled with the loveliest light and 2) They endlessly pack a good dose of California flavor. Now add the design and styling of Joy de Vivre + Florette Designs and the always...
Swapping vows amongst the beauty of Belgium sounds like the perfect plan in my book. And that, my dears, is precisely what these New Yorkers did. With Stoffer Photography by their side, they managed to pull off one of the dreamiest "I dos" EVER (did I mention the ceremony was held at a 10th century castle??) It's woodland whimsy meets European charm, and it's...
I'm going to start this post out by telling you one thing: I love Amy & Stuart Photography. And when I say I love them, I mean that I have been following their work for years and consider myself all kinds of crazy for their artistry. In other words, they are awesome... and the weddings they send our way? Equally as amazing. Which is why this breathtaking Santa Barbara affair has pretty much made my Wednesday. A sophisticated...
