I love Summer in Vegas. A lot. But when the heat (and random humidity) get to be a bit much, I long for the crisp, cool ocean breeze like it's no one's business. Lucky for me (and you), this Maroma Beach affair is hitting all of those toes-in-the-sand, drink in hand sweet spots with a colorful celebration planned to absolute perfection by Canteiro. It's beach chic pretty meets one seriously fun party and you can see it all captured...
Yesterday I was having a day Murphy could probably base his entire law on - everything that could possibly go wrong, did. But then this pretty designed by Bird Dog Wedding and captured by Ashley Garmon landed in my lap, and immediately, all was right with the world again. Because, really, how could you not just throw all your cares away when looking...
You know what I love more than anything? Brunch. Well, brunch and one seriously drop-dead gorgeous wedding. And when the two come together in one out-of-this-world photo shoot? I go bananas in the best possible way. Because, really, what's better than layers upon layers of fab stylings by Kennedy Event Planning, a surprise wedding theme (!) and moment after glorious moment captured by ...
There is something so magical about a ballroom wedding. Don't you agree? The gowns, the chandeliers, the elegance - it all tends to make me swoon. So when I come across a wedding like this one by Artstar by Laura Stone, I feel like I've hit the wedding jackpot. Because not only is it filled to the brim with lovely, but it's also overflowing with love...and it doesn't get better than that.
New England weddings rock. That's a tried and true fact. But when you combine a sweet Cranberry Island setting with some of the most gorgeous details you have ever seen from Natalie Trento Events, it's a new world of amazing. One that features beautiful blooms from Sweet Pea Flowers, a crazy awesome tented reception and one lovely image after...
I can't help but be in a cheerful mood after seeing the photos for our latest installment of Behind the Invitation! Tyler and Jessie from One Plus One Design are here today to tell us the story behind this sweet design. From the lovebirds, Jeff and Jen flying away in their getaway plane, to the map envelope liners and the bright color combo, the whole...
By now you've probably figured out I'm about as girly as it gets. Pink? Yes. Glitter? Of course. And polka dots? Duh! So when KJ & Co. sent over this pretty little number shot by Elizabeth In Love, I was on cloud nine, to say the least. And just when I thought it couldn't get any better...
Have you ever indulged in an elderflower cocktail? Because I fully and wholeheartedly believe that it will change your life. It's subtle, it's fresh, and you simply feel like a lady while sipping it. I've had it sprinkled throughout a number of different libations, but it never really occurred to me to whip one up for myself at home. That is, until now, thanks to...
This wedding is pure awesome; a crème de la crème of pretty set against the always-amazing NYC. And even more than all of the drop-dead gorgeous details (and there are a lot of them) and DIY goodness, it's the kind of day that just feels cozy... the sort of affair that you can't wait to attend, and always dreamt of having. From the crazy sophisticated Public setting to one fabulous image after another captured by ...
Oh how I adore a beach wedding. And a beach wedding with a bit of chic? Well, that is so up my alley. So this little seaside soiree captured by Monika Gauthier has my name written all over it. Each beautiful image paints the picture of a day that was not only gorgeous, but meaningful - and to me, it doesn't get better than that.
There's this powerhouse duo that kills it in the wedding world. That designing and floral artistry twosome better known as Lisa Vorce and Mindy Rice have a way of creating the most magical affairs. The kind that transport you to a whole new world where everything from the paper goods to the teepees (see below) convey a sense of who the couple is and perfectly reflect the spot that...
I always get so anxious when we've got a full day filled with goodies and we have to wait until the LAST post to see the full reveal. We are such teases, aren't we?! But we couldn't not fill you in on all that DIY goodness. Our DIYer went to town this time around and the gold-leafed art, the...
Bold statement alert: this is my favourite DIY we've ever featured on SMP Living. That says a lot considering there are a number of them that have completely knocked me off my feet. But I would pay big bucks for this gorgeous gilded number in a high end store. The best part? With just a little elbow grease, you can do the whole thing for virtually nothing! Ah, Ikea hacks - how I love thee.
We saved this wedding for today, just in case you aren't super excited to be sitting in your office in front of your computer after you holiday weekend. Mirelle Carmichael Photography's images are enough to make your desk chair a little more comfortable and your day a little more cheery. The wedding is an ear to ear smile from beginning to end!...
In my humble opinion, one can never have enough trays. I honestly couldn't even count how many I have laying around corralling various objects of all shapes and sizes. They add instant class to any ol' room, especially when they've been decked out in a hint of gold. So, naturally, that's just what we did. And we've got the full how-to just for you! White tray of your choice (we got ours from...
The BAD news: Labor Day weekend has officially drawn to a close. The GOOD news: this Sarasota wedding is more than enough to put the pep back in your pretty little step. Because when two photographers say "I do" with The Anti Bride and SRQtees by their side, the result is amazing. I'm talking an absolute overhaul of gorgeousness brought to life behind the lens of ...
Because art is one of those things that can quickly deplete a budget, when it came to Stephanie's apartment we knew we had to get creative. When we stumbled upon this stunning botanical inspired calendar we felt like we had hit the jackpot. Beautiful floral graphics filled pages that were simply ripe for the picking. And for just a few dollars we were able to outfit Stephanie's office with an entire wall...
There are some weddings that grace the pages of SMP that I just want to live in forever. This is one of those weddings. It's perfectly sweet, and filled with the kind of love that just makes you smile from ear to ear. It's the type of wedding that you just want to wrap yourself up in, and thanks to all the gorgeous images from Joshua Mikhaiel Photography, you can do just that...

This Bride is one lucky lady. Not only did she get to marry the man of her dreams, she also had one talented team of family and friends behind her to make every moment nothing short of perfect. That's right, a sister who just so happens to be the talent behind Created Lovely Events and mother who also does makeup. Oh, and did I mention the stunning images sitting in this...
