Tori of Sitting in a Tree is the reigning Queen of Bohem. She whips up these affairs that are such a fabulous mix of unique, fun details, layers of color and boho elegance woven throughout. And we eat it up every time. For this affair, her design musings have met their match in Santa Ynez with photography by Studio Castillero. It's a scene of love-filled "I Do's" and...
I have a slight addiction to stationery. I physically cannot pass by a card store without stopping in, just for a peek (am I totally weird? Surely there's someone who understands!) I often find myself splurging on my faves. And after recently being introduced to Ferme à Papier, I'm not sure I'll be able to control myself. We recently caught up with the whizz...
When it comes to wedding planning, talking finances can be tricky territory. Knowing who pays for what and how to keep track of it all...well, it's enough to make any bride's head spin. Luckily we've got Lizzie Post (great-granddaughter to the Emily Post) here today to share a little wedding etiquette 101. She's teamed up with Bank of America, and is dishing her etiquette approach for the modern bride and groom. Style Me...
Before our Thanksgiving festivities begin tomorrow, we wanted to share a really beautiful DIY project that we thought would make for the perfect backdrop for your own celebration. It also makes for a lovely hostess gift. Our in-house artist, Jess, hand painted this incredible "Gratitude Changes Everything" print for us. She then gussied it up with a bit of gold leaf paint and a simple white frame. She made it so...
I'm a bride who chose to wear flats on her wedding day. My husband, though very manly, is a little on the petite side. And so I find it absolutely endearing when brides choose to wear flats for the same reason. It warms my heart in the best way. But that's not the best part of this wedding. Nope. Not even top ten. The day was so gorgeous (and obviously, since...
Ever since her design graced the cover of our SMP Weddings book, I've been wholeheartedly obsessed with Samuelle Couture. Because she doesn't just create dresses. She creates moments. And certainly isn't afraid to break the traditional "wedding dress rules" along the way. We caught up Sam to talk everything from bridal trends to...
Now here's a notion I could happily get on board with. A Thanksgiving feast with your closest friends in addition to the one surrounded by family? It may be the most brilliant idea yet. Not only do you get to wine and dine with your nearest and dearest, you get to do it twice! I do believe that Melanie & Myka are on to something. Oh, and there's more where this came...

Weddings like this one are perfect for many reasons. They're stunningly intimate, gorgeously styled and brimming with soooo much pretty, it's hard to even put into words.

This, my friends, isn't just a wedding, it's a testament to true love, all captured by...
I think I love this wedding. Actually, scratch that... I know I love this wedding. Because this is a wedding that isn't just chock-full of beautiful details (it sooo is), but is brimming with those kind of touching moments that will make your heart sing. In other words, it's a master class in vintage chicness with an awesome side of modern lovely, all set against a glamorous meets romantic setting. Bask in the lovely captured by ...
I'm just going to go out and say it - I am pretty much obsessed with this wedding. With a palette that makes my heart pitter patter, and images from Kina Wicks Photography so beautiful I could cry, there isn't a prettier place on the internets than this gallery today.
We get to swim in pretty weddings day in and day out on SMP Texas, but this beauty by Shaun Menary is one that will stick with me for awhile. It all started with the brides stunning Vera Wang gown, and then I just found myself surrendering to all the pretty from there. From the gorgeous florals by Bella Flora of Dallas to the...
I've decided that I need a vacation. I mean, don't get me wrong... I love this crazy gorgeous fall weather we've been having, and all of the hot cocoa sipping that goes right along with it. But doesn't a trip to the lovely land also known as Puerto Rico sound just soooo awesome? Especially if that trip was anything like this drop.dead.gorgeous wedding captured by 13:13 Photography, a literal non-stop day of pretty with one totally fun...
It's been over three years since I was a Bride, but this stunning shower designed by Cape Cod Celebrations and captured by Hike Photography for The NotWedding would have been my bridal shower dream come true. Overflowing with florals from ...

The kind of wedding that exudes pure beauty from start to finish and is chock-full of heartwarming moments between beloved friends and family. This, my friends, is that wedding; a gorgeous purple-hued day set against the stunning Gardens at Great Oaks with an entire gallery of...
What you're about to see is the trifecta of beauty: Oregon's natural, rustic landscape. A peek into Erich McVey Photography's special workshop. And the images of Perry Vaile Photography (we're big fans). The workshop was featured recently on Wedding Chicks through Erich's lens, and judging by what...
So I'm not sure if you knew this, but on Thanksgiving calories don't count. It's true. I double checked. And that's especially good news because Waiting on Martha's recipe for sweet potato au gratin is anything but low fat. With layers of cheese and cream and all sorts of incredible delicious goodness. But I swear it's worth every calorie laden bite. My stomach's rumbling already.
Before meeting this sweet Arizona "I do," I didn't know so much pretty could be packed into one single day. But sure enough, when you've got Victoria Canada Weddings & Events, all the odds are defied and wedding magic is put in motion. And from first look to the last dance, it's one pin-perfect moment after another. Melissa Schollaert Photography snapped the whole day...
