I kind of wish every day could be like Wedding Wednesday. A day packed with nuptials from morning til night. But since this occasion only comes around once a week, we must pull out all the stops to celebrate, right? So kick up those heels and pop the bubbly (it's five o'clock somewhere!) because it's time to swoon this mountainside beauty from Jacquelynn Brynn Photography. Let's keep the #WW party going ...
One of my favorite types of weddings are those I describe as indoor garden. They take the beauty of nature and the great outdoors and funnel all that goodness into a venue like the Inn and Spa at Loretto in Santa Fe. The result is blooms for days by Artichokes and Pomegranates and images by Twin Lens that...
I mentioned in our How to Host an Al Fresco Dinner post that I love to suprise guests with a really casual, totally family style meal. For us, it was linguini bolognese. Selfishly because I could make 90% of it ahead of time but also because this recipe is SO freaking good. Guests just feel happy when they...
This wedding is altogether on trend with today, classically beautiful, and absolutely stunning. It's the kind of soiree I could throw at you in five years and you'd never guess it was five years old. Even ten, twenty, thirty years. Gathering Floral + Event Design pulled together something timelessly chic, yet relevant with today's style... not an easy feat, but when it's done right, it's instant goosebumps. Captured by...
This English wedding is exactly what I pictured weddings to be like as a little girl, possibly because it's straight out of a fairytale; complete with Louboutins. Woven throughout this Cotswold affair is a pink and red color palette mixed with total glamour – the kind of glamour that lies within the realm of beautifully classic. And Catherine Mead didn't skip a single second when capturing all the goodness. See...
The weather here in New England has been a mess. And I'm pretty sure we're not alone. But for about a week, we got one, blissful day after another. My beloved peonies popped, the sun was shining, birds a-chirping and everyone that I passed had a sweet smile on their face. That week, we ate outside beneath our pretty tree every night. Al fresco style. So we thought today, we'd share a few little secrets for successful outdoor entertaining. Easy, effortless, you will most definitely be drinking...
I love California for many reasons... the sun, the sand and the beautiful blue skies ranking high atop the list. But, what I adore most about The Golden State? The endless array of drop-dead gorgeous weddings. Weddings that range from the traditional to the whimsical and everything in between. Today's CA masterpiece? A little slice of wedding heaven from La Boheme Events, which is what I'm calling "downright perfection" with its...

There isn't much I don't love about engagement sessions (I've proclaimed my love for them a time or two on SMP), but I absolutely adore a session like this one from Erica Rose Photography. Where the love of the couple is the only prop needed, and the stunning setting of Van Dusen Botanical Gardens speaks volumes. It's a engagement session that will stand the test of time...

Resting high atop my list of favorite destination locales is Jamaica, the land of fun, sun and a whole lot of pretty. And when a duo as gorgeous as this decides to tie the knot in my fave laid-back paradise? Even better. Because this is the kind of wedding you would give anything to attend with beautiful island-inspired details, lush florals from Floral Fantasies and breathtaking ocean views filling every last second.
This wedding makes me happy. Makes me happy with its adorable duo, breathtaking setting and crazy gorgeous details.

See it all from inContrast Images' captures right here.
Round these parts, chocolate tends to sneak its way into just about every meal. Between my husband and my daughter, we should be buying stock in chocolate. If that's even a real thing. And these chocolate chocolate chip muffins are at the top of our morning crave list. They are light but rich, best when just out of the oven and the chocolate chips are all melty and good.
One combo I can never get enough of? Formal + fun. Just those two words together conjure up images of elegant brides dancing the night away with their dapper grooms. It's a wedding fusion that never fails to deliver the pretty and today's shining example is this downright breathtaking Sarasota affair from Fabulously Chic Weddings, aka, a drop-dead gorgeous mix of sophisticated details and heartwarming moments, all wrapped up in...
As a Bride, you hope for nothing but perfection on the days leading up to your wedding day. All the planning and preparation, all the t's and i's dotted - but even all of that couldn't stop Hurricane Sandy. Which, if you aren't from the area, left the city in quite a state for weeks after. But you wouldn't know any of that was going on when you peek through all the pretty captured by Rebecca Yale Portraits. Because even with...
