Ok so before we get to Stephanie's big reveal, we have a few pretty wonderful DIY's we need to share. First up: this awesomely simple gold leafed art, inspired a bit by Lovely Little Details + Song Ink's gorgeous print and a bit by this fun print we saw on Art.com.

This is the kind of wedding that I live for. That traditional meets whimsical meets all kinds of romantic wedding that you Chicago bride and grooms have down pat. The sort of affair that stops your day in the best kind of way with crazy gorgeous DIY details, glittery gold accents (YES) and moment after moment of pure perfection planned by Sweetchic Events. This, my friends, is take your breath away pretty and you...
I have what one might call a serious case of travel fever. So it shouldn't be a surprise that SMP Destination is my happy place. It's like getting the chance to go somewhere new every single day, and today we are headed to Brazil by way of these gorgeous engagement pictures from Weber Photography. Love and travel in one pretty place? Consider me one happy lady.
Austin is one of those crazy cool cities that you don't even have to visit to know just how extremely awesome it is. The kind of city that houses some of the world's most stunning couples and hosts some of the world's most amazing weddings, too. Weddings like this sweet Antebellum Oaks affair from the ever-wonderful Forever Photography Studio; an affair so pretty that sweet purple hues, lush florals from...
We love a good barn wedding around these parts, but when that barn wedding is sprinkled with a whole lot of glam? Well that's when you hit our wedding sweet spot. Think rolling country fields mixed with layers of Vera Wang ruffles. It's a stunning barn setting with a chandelier thrown in for good measure. It's all around lovely, and...
You know what makes for one seriously awesome combo? Two adorable high school sweethearts, the amazing city of Atlanta and one breathtakingly gorgeous wedding. That's what we here at SMP call the trifecta of wedding goodness and this pretty little affair has all three. Not to mention it's a day that is seriously brimming with pretty, from the sweet romantic details to the traditional reception bursting with elegance to the fabulous gallery from...
It's kind a party in the SMP offices today because one of our (super gorgeous!) LBBers just tied the knot and we've got the amazing images from Michelle Gardella Photography right here. Chelsea of Everthine Bridal Boutique married her sweetheart in a soiree that has our hearts racing and the...
It might not feel like fall just yet, but after five seconds with this Georgia "I do," a mug of cider was calling. my. name. Factor in all the autumn-inspired florals from Twigs, Leaves & Flowers plus every picture-perfect moment caught by Red Fly Studio, and I'm feeling an oh so sudden urge to cuddle up in a cardigan and watch the leaves change outside my window...
Today is such a fun day on SMP. Last week, we took a peek at Erin's apartment overhaul... and now we're back in action with our dear Stephanie. Stephanie is a Weddings editor and has more talent and taste in her pinky finger than most people I know combined. But, much like our beloved Erin, she's busy. Like, burning the midnight oil on a daily basis type of busy. And her sweet...
It's a well-known fact that returning from a holiday weekend isn't always easy, but a beautiful bride with an "aversion to all things boring" and a drop-dead gorgeous Fort Lauderdale wedding can make the transition much, much easier. Believe you me. Especially when that wedding happens to be filled to the brim with vibrant hues, succulent-filled lovely from Victoria Park and one breathtaking image after another...
When it comes to giving couples unsolicited wedding planning advice, I tend to be a broken record: spend your money on the things you'll keep forever (photos+film) and the elements that will guarantee your guests a fabulous time (awesome tunes). So when I came across Lovesick Inc, the DJ and alternative wedding film company based out of Philly, it was like my wedding stars had aligned. Started in 2008 by two...
Sometimes it's a bouquet, other times it's a cake, and it can even be a simple DIY rosette that wins over my décor-loving heart... and then there are times like this where I get all three. T.H. Jackson Huang of Ikonica captured a wedding that is the complete trifecta of wedding décor and you are seriously going to be floored when you click here!...
I think everyone should do a 'love' shoot just to celebrate, well, love! Of course, it's much easier to do when you have an amazing photog in your family like The McCartneys. Lucky for Stevi & Charles, they have a handful of gorgeous moments to remember from their Sonoma trip and lucky us, we've got the whole gallery to view as many times we please.
I'm a firm believer that right along with a big cup of coffee, your day should start with a big dose of inspiration on the side too. Enough to fuel your day with fabulous thoughts - and today, that dose comes by way of the pretty images sitting below by lilelements styled by Ruffles and Bells. It's the perfect way to start your day, and it's all ready for you...
I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear when I came across this wedding from Gina Brandt Photography. It's the type of wedding that will warm your heart and then some, leaving you giddy for the rest of the day. And really, what's better than that? It's sweet and stylish, and it's all waiting for you right here in the full gallery of images.
You'd never, ever guess a day this fabulous was planned in six months flat. But sure enough, that's all the time it takes to pull off one perfectly crafted "I do." And with Christopher|F Photography there to document every darling detail, there's a whole lot of swoonage from this Midwest affair waiting for you here....
I am completely determined to talk one of my lovely friends into a week-long wedding adventure after spending a little time with this Costa Rica wedding snapped up by Slayleigh James and planned to perfection by The Special Day (complete with stunning florals from Elena Damy Designs). Can you imagine day after...
I cannot wait to see the wedding of these two lovebirds. Seriously, these engagement photos from Tucker Images are proof enough that a stylish shindig is in the works. Until then, I'll be in the gallery, poring over every little spec of love. From Tucker Images... Ali and Corey are getting...
To be totally honest, I'm not usually one to be drawn to purple. Pink is just more my style. But after spending mere seconds with this Rhode Island wedding from Jen Ing Photography, I realized I might have been on the wrong team all along. Because if "team purple" looks anything like this elegant "I do," it's most definitely the side I...
Weddings like this Lake Lanier beauty by VUE Photography always make me wish I could crawl through the computer screen and experience it all first hand. The gorgeous lake-side setting, the oh-so in love couple, the pretty vintage details - it all makes for one gorgeous day. Beyond gorgeous actually. Thankfully, we all get to soak it all up right here in the...
