You might have heard that we're hosting a little giveaway shindig here on SMP. A Shutterfly giveaway, to be specific. Last week we debuted their sparkling holiday gift guide, and the photo goodies they've got for everyone on your list. But it gets even better. Because they're giving one lucky duck the ultimate grand prize that's simply too good to miss!
So here's the nitty...SMP Archive

If you're feeling fancy this Thanksgiving, you should consider impressing your guests with these mini bread wreaths (hint: it's much easier than you'd think!) The best part? You could make these tonight, freeze them for the next week and pop em in the oven day of. Move over dinner rolls, there's a new player in town! [dotted] Photography:...
Two ceremonies means double the fashion, double the flowers, double the love. And it's pretty amazing. I love this couple for introducing the idea to me, and I love Keely Thorne Events for coordinating the whole beautiful day. Captured by Nancy Aidee Photography, the wedding was worthy of two parties and...
Cranberry sauce, much like my beloved mashed potatoes, is one of those Thanksgiving staples that can completely make or break the meal. A good cranberry sauce is absolutely essential, but who has the time for elaborate over-the-top homemade versions? We know how easy it is to grab a can and run with it, but I swear we have something that's ALMOST as simple and FAR more delicious. And you know...
Anyone that knows me knows I'm a tried and true coffee drinker. Seriously, it's basically my sport. But over past few months I've been testing the waters in tea world, and I must say, I like it a lot. So when the lovelies at Amorology sent this tea-inspired wedding my way, I had no choice but to grab a cup of chamomile and swoon away. (Tough job, right?) With lovely captures by ...
For those of us that are completely obsessed with breakfast (read: me), morning weddings followed by a yummy breakfast reception are kind of the best thing ever. And when that morning wedding happens to be as beautiful as this little Sydney affair, even better. Because this is a wedding that is seriously bursting with pretty, from the crazy amazing florals from Portobello Rose to the fab paper goods from ...
The sheer detail and glam gorgeousness that you're about to soak up is beyond. It may be the pretty pastel palette, the peacock themed invites by Bella Figura or quite possibly the layers on layers of blooms from Valley Flora, that steal your heart. The list goes on, but one thing is for sure—Weddings by Scott and Dana...
In my mind's eye, the holidays are synonymous with all things sparkly — from bags to bows and everything in between. So imagine my excitement when introduced to the incredibly gorgeous Allure Couture Spring 2014 Collection; featuring incredible shapes and silhouettes, these gowns showcase luxe details such as Swarovski crystals, rich cotton lace + decadent pearls. We're talking glamour to the max, my dears!
Before I even get into how much I love this wedding (and oh, I love this wedding), I just have to say - I love this Bride. Like, adore her. Because anyone that dressed up as a Bride for Halloween at the wee age of five, is a girl after my own heart. So it's no surprise the wedding she has been excited for since she was a little one turned out absolutely stunning, and thanks to the gorgeous images from Ashley Biess Photography, we get to...
There seems to be a common thread linking the masses these days: we're all busy. Really busy. And when it comes down to Thanksgiving, all we really want to do is relax with our families. But the good news is that you can have it both ways! An elaborate, exquisite, delicious Thanksgiving that's relaxing to boot? We've uncovered some of the best festive recipes around that can largely be made beforehand. This stuffing? It's mouth-watering. Prep everything beforehand and simply assemble...
Venice, lovelies, is a magical city. The kind of city that is brimming with good food, stunning architecture and fabulous culture every which way you turn. It also happens to be a pretty amazing place to plan a surprise proposal. The kind of proposal that takes place in a gondola with clear blue skies, the love of your life and the amazing Andrea Kuehnis in tow. ...
Y'all, I hope you'll carve some time out of your day for this ah-mazing film. Keepsake Films, the fabulous folks who captured every beautiful moment, pretty much nailed it on the head when they highlight the gorgeous Bella Vita Ranch, the absolute heart-melting look on the groom's face and most notably, the first dance. Seriously, these two own the dance floor. You bet I'm stashing this...
This, my friends, is my dream wedding. Seriously... I am NOT being hyperbolic. This pretty little gem right here checks every box on my "dream wedding" list. Fab location? Check. A fun-filled weekend? Check. A whole lot of drop-dead gorgeous stylings from the masters at Spread Love Events? Check, check, check. Add in the amazing planning skills of ...
I am so obsessed with this wedding, I don't even know what to say. Seriously. This New Hampshire beauty has me at such a loss for words, it's crazy. I guess that's what happens when a team of fabulous vendors (think Exeter Flower Shop, Tangorra Wedding Planning and Kate Preftakes Photography) join forces...
Savannah is just pure magic. I'm convinced of that fact. And it only takes one little peek at all the pretty below to see precisely why I think weddings that take place in that southern city can do no wrong. With a lovely understated style and images from Jade and Matthew Take Pictures so pretty I could spend hours pouring through them - it goes without saying this gallery just made me fall in love with Savannah even more.
Sometimes you just need a little bit of pep to start your day. A punch of color, a happy couple, or a ring bearer so cute it could melt your whole heart. And lucky for us, my dears, these Virginia nuptials have all of the above. Set in Virginia's stunning farm land, it's a day filled with whimsy and style, and so much pretty it could only be captured by miss Jodi Miller. Have a look for yourself in the fun-filled gallery ...
Surprisingly, mashed potatoes are one of those things that can go very wrong, very quickly. Whether they're too lumpy, too creamy, or far too dry, as a self proclaimed mashed potato nut, there's not much else that ruins a good meal like sub-par taters. Over the last little while we've made it our mission to uncover the best of the best. And, honestly, this version is SO easy, SO stress free, and basically bordering on perfection. You can't go wrong! [dotted] Photography: ...
Provence Wedding Inspiration from Lavender and Rose, Picture Perfect Photography + Feather and Stone
A Provence sunset, wild, beautiful flowers, a ridiculously good looking couple in beautiful attire... if this is striking a cord with you at all (and really, I'd be surprised if it wasn't) you're about to flip. Picture Perfect Photography captured this wedding inspiration, put together by...
I swear, this wedding is an absolute dream. I haven't stopped thinking about it since the moment it hit our inboxes, and I am beyond excited that today is the day I finally get to share it with all of you. Because, lovelies, this one is a stunner. With seriously perfect images from Caroline Yoon Fine Art Photography and style that will stand the test of time, this...
This is one of those days where every perfect detail you've ever dreamt of comes together in one fabulous wedding. Where a gorgeous Vera Wang stands hand in hand with lush florals from FH Weddings and a modern meets classic vibe planned by Elan Event Studio that is all kinds of amazing. This, my friends, is what we're calling a "serious lesson in pretty" and you can see every...
