When Ashley originally emailed me about featuring her 30th birthday, she had the audacity to mention that she wouldn't be offended if it wasn't the right fit. The right fit!? My god! It's pretty much the most beautiful thing I've ever SEEN. And if this is what turning 30 looks like, you better believe I'm ready for it. Captured by Cassidy Brooke see the...
If I have one regret from my wedding day it would be not hiring a cinematographer. Anyone else? Since I got married before the days of SMP and all things wedded chic, I had no idea how special a highlight film can be. I reach for the tissues multiple times a day over couples I don't even know, but when the cinematographer is as great as Lovebird Studios and the couple is as sweet as Meredith and Ben, who can blame me?
This sweet little family of three has officially stolen my heart. Like forever and ever, throw away the key, and it's got everything to do with these incredible snaps from miss Emily Blake. She let story unfold behind the lens, and today we're reaping the rewards. I'm talking all-white blooms by Art With Nature Design, a chocolately yum-fest from ...
Though the digital era we seem to have found ourselves in can be a ton of fun, every once in a while it's important to step back and take a look at what we may have created for ourselves. Unfortunately, those late night tweets and terribly unflattering photos (oh, you know the ones!) have a way of coming back at us. We recently had the chance to catch up with Randi Zuckerberg (yep, the infamous Mark Zuckerger's sister, no big deal... *cue...
You can feel the love this couple shares with just one peek at the pretty below captured by Rachael Elizabeth Photography, and how can you not love that? It makes you want to smile from ear to ear and hug your loved ones a bit closer, and that's when I know we have a good engagement session on our hands. See it all here. From ...
I was lucky enough to see Anne Barge's new designs firsthand this fall. And boy, did she deliver. She sent gowns from her three amazing collections down the runway, and you better believe I loved every. single. one. From the Anne Barge Fall 2014 collection, to...
It took about two seconds of touring the Fraser River Lodge for this adorable duo to know that it was THE place to say "I do"... and about five seconds of perusing their beautiful wedding gallery for me to whole-heartedly agree. Because when it comes to tying the knot amongst jaw-droppingly gorgeous mountains and stunning scenery, this locale is seriously mesmerizing. Add in some pretty purple hues and an entire day of...
Duos this adorable are always awesome to spend the day with, but when it's a duo that is not only adorable, but seriously stylish, as well... it makes my heart skip a beat. Because this, my friends, is a serious lesson in chicness, with vibrant colors and jaw-dropping attire taking center stage. Click here for so much more from Sarah Postma. It's amazing.
Duos this cute make me happy. From their "can't stop smiling" faces to their pure, unadulterated love for one another, it's like a shot of joy with my morning cup of coffee. And when you start off your day like this, you know it's going to be amazing... seriously amazing. See every gorgeous moment captured by Kelly Anne Photography right here in the...
A Swiss countryside wedding just sounds like a dream come true, and after pouring over all the gorgeous images of this Swiss soiree from Claire Morgan, I can tell you it's even better than a dream. With beautiful scenery, a beautiful bride and some inspiring DIYs - this gallery is as good as they get.
This wedding is awesome; no ifs, ands or buts about it. It's drop-dead gorgeous with pretty blue hues, a stunning outdoor ceremony and a ballroom reception that is, in one word, amazing. I'm talking lush florals from Haute Floral, a gorgeous Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens setting and one beautiful moment after another captured by ...
This is how I picture every New England wedding to be. A soft, romantic love-fest with an intimate chapel ceremony, followed by a backyard tented reception chock-full of lovely. In other words, a perfect day crafted by a talented team of vendors (think Lens Cap Productions, Sperry Tents and Greenlion Design)...
When paper lanterns are used to their advantage, they can be stunning, and this bride knew what she was doing with those lanterns. Hanging like happy little clouds over the entire reception, they set the tone for beautiful charm, and the wedding quickly followed suit. After perusing Bia Sampaio Photography's images from the day, I can say with confidence...
For Thanksgiving this year I decided to take my floral game up a notch. Instead of showing up with a bouquet as a hostess gift, I'll be bringing a collection of fall wreaths to show my appreciation. They're surprisingly simple to make, and really give you the flexibility to be creative and use ingredients you really love. For more floral inspiration, head on over to my shop...
I can spot a Southern wedding a mile away. They've got charm that can't be beat, and this Virginia stunner has it ozzing out of every nook and cranny. Think big open skies and a home-woven feel, all perfectly orchestrated by Ashley Baber Weddings. The one and only Katie Stoops snapped every color-happy moment and truth be told? We're loving...
Plain and simple, this Hamptons engagement shoot from Alicia Swedenborg is just gorgeous. Maybe it's the light, maybe it's the gorgeous photography, maybe it's the stunning couple, maybe it's all of the above - whatever it may be, it makes this gallery of images as pretty as they come.
I love when people in the industry tie the knot. Their weddings never fail to wow, and that's just what happened when this beauty (who also happens to be the talent behind West House Photography) said I do to her handsome beau. It's a DIY dream wedding captured beautifully by The Reason, and...
California brides have it SO good. With vendors like Le Festin Events, Lori Boe and David Pascolla at their fingertips, it's no wonder we have such a soft spot for these West Coast affairs. And while I could go on forever about the taupe colored bridesmaids, the antique details or the homeyness woven into this cozy...
Any day we get to feature Lindsay Madden's gorgeous work on SMP is a good day. But a day where we get to feature an entire weekend of gorgeously photographed festivities in Turk and Caicos? Well, there isn't an adjective in the entire dictionary that can describe that. But it doesn't mean you can't enjoy every last second of their love shoot, welcome dinner and wedding below - and of course there is even more waiting for you r...
This is so much more than a beautiful lakeside wedding or an affair radiating happy, happy color. It's a combination of all that plus a certain easy going, laughter-filled loveliness that can't be crafted. It's woven into the very fiber of this wedding and when matched with the creative stylings of A Day in May, Event Planning & Design, the brightest blooms by ...
