If there's one thing I've learned in my years at SMP, it's this: engagement sessions are awesome. Awesome in that they are always, always chock-full of an abundance of love... and a non-stop excitement and joy that you just can't find elsewhere. In other words, they are amazing, and when you throw in a rustic setting like this breathtaking Okanagan Lake backdrop and the fabulous Kevin Trowbridge to capture all of the magic, they...
It's easy to fall head over heels in love with this wedding. The pretty palette, the gorgeous blooms, the modern setting of the Greenhouse Loft - it all makes for one sweet fête to swoon over. But what if I told you the icing on this pretty cake is that this Bride's dress was made by her mother? Because it so was, which totally ups the ante if you ask me.
I sort of have this crazy obsession with Polly Alexandre and her amazing imagery. An "I want to be the President of her fan club" kind of obsession that only grows stronger with every gorgeous moment she captures. It probably has a little something to do with the fact that she's pure genius, and her clients? Oh-so-lovely. I'm talking bride and grooms who really know a thing or two about throwing a beautiful wedding...
Southern romance meets modern design, and the result? Pure gorgeous. With stunning florals from Stems Floral Design, a to die for cake from Simon Lee Bakery and picture perfect planning by Your Very Own Fairy Godmother every image snapped up by ...
Backyard weddings are nothing short of wonderful. There is something so warm, so intimate about a wedding hosted at a family home, and when it's all captured by Shane Godfrey Photography, it just gets that much better. This wedding is the perfect example. It's a beautiful celebration of these two lovely folks, and there is even more to love...
I probably don't need to tell you just how much we adore rustic weddings here at SMP, but bare with me one more time, because it's definitely worth repeating... rustic weddings rock. And when we get the chance to dive into some rustic-y goodness of the Southern variety? Even better. Because this is the kind of inspiration-fest that mixes sweet country details with a non-stop dash of elegance, from the gold-plated flatware from ...
Joanna of Sixpence Productions admits that she "kind of ADORES" these two, and truth be told, after spending a few minutes with them via this highlight film, I'm in the same boat. They are stinking adorable and so in love. Not to mention they planned a gorgeous day and held it all on a beautiful beach. I'm smitten.

Did you know that all designers have go-to paint colors? It's true. They each have their tried and true versions that they just know will work again and again. That perfect white, the effortless greige, the softest pink in all the land. They've got their finger on the pulse and we've made it our mission to uncover every last one of them! Starting with the incredible Caitlin Wilson (who's somewhat of a genius when it comes to interior...
Saying "I do" with sand between your tootsies sounds like heaven. And if these captures from Gladys Jem are any indication, it so, SO was. I'm talking postcard perfect scenery, loose and lovely florals, and a day chock full of details planned by Chic Concepts. Get ready for a little case of wedding envy m'dears...
When summer camp style mixes and mingles with a touches of glamour, I can't help but take notice. How can you possibly ignore all the sweet details sitting pretty in these images from Cassi Claire? I definitely wouldn't want to, because between the pretty florals by Jaritas and the sweet setting of Full Moon Resort - it's...
There's the Marie Antoinette you think you know, and then there is this dazzling photo shoot from the ah.mazing Jacqueline Pinto, which can only be described as a crazy awesome ode to the world's most famous queen, with a decidedly retro twist. I'm talking pastel hues, yummy treats from Sugar Fancies and all kinds of gorgeous rentals from ...
They write songs about all white weddings and with good reason...they're stunning. A layered approach to pretty neutrals is all at once timeless and taking a page out of the modern book. It's a duality, if you will, that works each and every time; especially with vendors like NK Productions and Lexia Frank Photography on the job. They take stunning details and perfectly plan...
It's no secret that a good wedding film gets the waterworks started over here. Cinematography gets me every single time. But this Montana wedding from Moonstone Pictures really got me. You know that half pout, half smile that happens when you see the sweetest thing ever? Yeah. That's happening. [iframe http://player.vimeo.com/video/70638343 600 338] From the gorgeous bride... Chad and I both worked in Pittsburgh and I...
You girls remember when we gussied up Erin & Stephanie's apartments? Well, we had a few little returns that we had to make and one of them resulted in kind of an amazing pay day. A $550 giftcard to Jonathan Adler kind of...
We're certainly not shy about our love for Jonathan Adler around here. His designs could inspire the heck out of anyone, and have made their way into most of our editors' very own homes. But today, we're taking our love a little further with a ...
My love for all thing bridal inspiration runs deep, that's for sure. So I couldn't be more excited to share with you all a seriously fabulous upcoming bridal fair chock full of ideas and inspiration for couples planning pledges + parties: First Comes Love. The carefully curated event will feature independent retailers and vendors that are serious about style and designers of goodness! Sounds fabulous, no? Founded in 2010 by the...
There is no other way to say it - this engagement session from WojoImage Photography is downright adorable. From the sweet stationery by Chykalophia Design (hello save the date kite!) right down to all the nautical touches - each and every moment planned by HeartilyWed couldn't be cuter.
You know what makes me happy? A bride who says that her wedding day is the "happiest day of my life." That is a statement that fills me with pure, unadulterated joy, especially when that bride is the kind bride who, along with her dapper groom, amazing vendors and awesome friends and family, crafted a day that is chock-full of amazing. I'm talking a pink-hued masterpiece, lovelies. See every last beautiful moment captured by ...
This lovely lady is a SMP Bride through and through. With her careful attention to detail and love of pink, pink and more pink - her wedding had us at hello. It only takes one look at her oh-so-pretty day by Chelsey Schrader Photography to see why we feel in love with every single image sitting in this...
Bride's often envision bright, sunshiny days for their I dos, but after taking a peek at this pretty from Erika Follansbee Photography they might just start wishing for a little fog on their big day. It created the perfect ambience for this Castle in the Clouds celebration, if I do say so myself, and made this absolutely beautiful wedding just that much more fabulous.
