I'm generally a very productive person. I thrive on to-do lists and projects, but when I come across a wedding like this one captured by Lauren Wakefield, all bets are off. I drop everything I am doing to sit and stare at the pretty, fully blaming it on the fact that doing so is indeed my job. Because this is a wedding filled with the perfect amount of pretty and the perfect amount of heart, and you can see...
Planning a three day wedding weekend in just three short months sounds like an almost impossible task; something only a superhero duo (aka, a brilliant bride and groom) could pull off. Well, lovelies... meet that duo. Two seriously smitten sweethearts who took their office romance and love of environmentally friendly weddings and crafted a day that is beyond amazing. I'm talking fab DIY details, waterside yoga (!) and an entire gallery of lovely captured by ...
I'm not exactly sure what is on your Thursday agenda, lovelies, but I can guarantee you one thing. This mesmerizing bridal shoot from the talented lens of Heather Moore? It will fill up one huge portion of your day. Because this, my friends, is the kind of session that takes a stunning setting (the historic Lindheimer home) and pairs it with lush + vibrant florals from ...
Plant me on a beach with a drink in hand, and I'm set; but throw in toes-in-the-sand wedding celebration to top off the vacay, and I'm seriously the happiest girl in the world! And when it comes to destination nuptials, I'm head-over-heels for Mexico's breathtaking Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit! Based on a stunning stretch of Mexico's western coastline, nestled between the Pacific Coast and the Sierra Madre Mountains, the...
This adorable duo? They have a fabulous story. The kind of fabulous story that involves a workplace romance, a helicopter meets the Empire State Building proposal and a drop-dead gorgeous Belle Mer wedding. A sort of movie-eque beginning with sooo much pretty, it's like a trifecta of awesome all coming together in beautiful imagery captured by...
I wish Amy Arrington could follow me around and capture all my life moments. Because her images? They are breathtaking. They have this beautiful, timeless feel, and always tell the sweetest of stories filled with moments that are completely priceless. This pretty little Georgia peach is the perfect example. Every image makes my heart sing the sweetest of songs, and...
I'll admit, sometimes my husband doesn't love my job as much as I do. The second he walks through the door, I immediately regale him with stories of all the gorgeous weddings I came across throughout the day... and which bits of them I'm filing away for our wedding redo. And somedays, today included, the idea of a destination wedding redo gets tossed around (on my end). My husband may not love you XO ANDREA, but I sure do! Big thanks...
You are officially invited to Audrey (my beautiful daughter's) 5th birthday. If you've ever met Audrey you know that she's quite particular and quite fabulous. So coming up with a birthday theme + invitation that could top other years and impress this little SMP-er, well, it was no easy feat. And today, we're sharing the whole party soup to DIY nuts on the blog. Can you guess what kind...
The vision behind this New York day was perfectly simple: a minimalist approach to the traditional Hindu affair with whites, golds and greenery galore. A sort of urban garden party, if you will. And with The Foundry serving as the perfect backdrop, Naturally Delicious coordinating behind-the-scenes and ...
I'm a girl that is all about the romance. That Jane Austen meets pretty pink hues meets Cary Grant in An Affair to Remember kind of romance that leaves your heart pounding and your lips unable to utter any words. And this sweet Clearwater Beach affair? Well, it is literally bursting with just that kind of romance, aka, one stop you in your tracks moment after another planned to perfection by ...
It's probably not the biggest shocker in the world that proposals make me happy - I do spend my days gushing about love and marriage. But there is just something so so special about that little question that often happens on one knee. And when it all happens in the gorgeous Central Park with Katie Markquart Photography snapping up every every heart-warming moment - that's when you simply can't help but smile. See...
Rustic farm weddings are sort of the bread and butter of SMP. They're part of what put us on the map in the early days yet continue to resonate with readers time and time again. So when we come across these sorts of affairs today, we look for that special something. That "it" factor that makes a wedding stand out in the crowd. And thanks to Oleander Florals, these Pennsylvania nuptials stand out in the prettiest of...
We've featured a ton of really fabulous recipes in SMP Livings past, but I have to admit that none of them have tempted me as much as this one. Pancakes already rank high atop my list of favourite treats, and that's without the addition of cherries, chocolate and sea salt. My mind almost can't even handle all of the delicious! Thanks to...
Sometimes the very best weddings are the very smallest. The intimate backyard affairs that are filled to bursting with love, like this one from Danielle Capito Photography. It was stunning, yes, but you can almost feel the love radiating out of your computer screen. It's a total heartwarmer, this one. From the photographer...
Some days I can be a bit of a plain Jane in the wardrobe department. Opting for "safe" over "stylish" in fear my fashion risk will flop. But today, I'm taking cues from this California bride-to-be. She's got style for miles and can rock a stripey dress like you wouldn't believe. So let's ditch the stretchy yoga pants and indulge in this fashion-heavy e-sesh from ...
My boyfriend and I go through phases where we're on a dating roll, trying out new things on a constant basis, or repeating the same activities day in and day out. Ah, the dating rut - it happens! I'm thinking we should take a note from sweet Mekenzee & Lee and instill Thai Tuesdays! One night a week dedicated to spending time with your loved one, cooking up something fierce in the kitchen? Now this is something I can happily get on board with! Captured by...
This photo shoot had me at hello. Well actually it had me at lush florals from Sweet Marie Design, fab stylings from Sweet Revelry Events and a whole lot of pretty from some of San Diego's finest vendors, but you get the point. I am thoroughly obsessed. Add in a breathtaking (+ sophisticated) ...
If you've spent anytime at all perusing the archives here on SMP Australia (a lovely way to spend the day, I might add) you know that that Land Down Under happens to play host to some of the world's most beautiful backdrops. Backdrops that scream romantic from the moment you lay your eyes on their amazingness; settings so sweetly simple and full of natural beauty, there are barely words to describe them. Case in point? This gorgeous shoot from ...
I always get a tad bit excited when I see a wedding from Evan Hunt Photo pop up in our submissions. And I'll tell you why - I can stare at each individual image for longer than I care to admit, and when the entire wedding comes together? I basically surrender my entire day to devouring all the pretty. It's safe to say he has a way with the camera, and when you pair that talent with a wedding this gorgeous - magic...
