This is the kind of wedding Style Me Pretty was founded on. Pretty as all get out with handmade and heartfelt touches throughout. A bride who is gorgeous and warm, a groom who has no problem showing his emotion, and photographs from Closer to Love Photography that not only catch your eye but tell a beautiful story. It's SMP perfection.

As an admitted lover of all things paper, I can't help but get a little giddy when anything from Minted pops into my inbox. Not only does this fabulous company put out some of the most fabulous invitations + stationery out there, but everything in the exclusive...
Beautiful barn weddings dripping in gorgeous DIY details are my favorite. They're all at once intimate and lovely, with the sweetest atmosphere you could ever wish for on your wedding day. Add in two cuties with a love that literally bursts from the computer screen, bundles of perfectly imperfect florals from Blooming Creations and fabulous paper goods designed by those aforementioned cuties and this, my friends, is the...
Veils are kind of my thing. Short, long, blusher, birdcage -- don't care, I love 'em all. But want in on a little secret? Until I came across Jess' tutorial for her own lace beauty, I had NO idea veils were so DIY doable. Pinky promise -- with even the simplest of skills (read: no sewing required!) you, yes you, can make a veil. 10 yards...
Pastels draw my eye like a moth to a flame. I love them. I honestly can't get enough of a wedding filled to the brim with those perfect soft shades. So this wedding? It's making my day and then some. Because not only is it filled to the brim with pretty, it's also as personal as they come. That combination happens to be my wedding weakness, and when you throw in the lovely pictures from Meghan Andrews Photography and gorgeous...

Because this film? This crazy amazing masterpiece of love, devotion and beauty? It's nothing but inspiring, with a duo sooo in love and a setting sooo amazing, it will touch every last chamber of...
I only recently discovered my love for the color lavender. It's such a soft alternative to pink and SO romantic. So when you cover a gorgeous venue like Barnsley Garden Resort in this sweet color, needless to say, you've got my attention. The Studio B Photography captured the day - the gardens, the love, and the beautiful bride (who looks phenomenal...

And ever since setting my sights on it, I find myself wondering if there's enough time to throw just one more warm-weather party. Captured by Katie McGihon and designed by...
Even though I grew up in the great state of Montana completely surrounded by rustic beauty, I am sort of a preppy girl at heart.

I have a confession. Before I found my way into the world of weddings, I didn't know what a peony was. That's almost blasphemous, isn't it? But now, I'm fully versed in the big fluffy flower genre and that love for the all-star bloom runs deep. I've also added a few more loves to the list. Things like branches intermingling with floral centerpieces, little gold details and really good, take-your-breath-away photography; all of which this wedding has thanks to the likes of ...
