A Bride that walks down the isle to "Wild Horses" is a Bride I want to get to know. Add the fact that she DIY'd just about every pretty thing you see in this gallery, and I'm officially in awe. With the help of Winona Phillips she planned one of the most intimately fabulous weddings I've ever seen, and thanks to ...
This wedding came at the perfect time. I say that, because I've been hemming and hawing over a trip to Cabo for what seems like forever and, I swear to you, this breathtaking beauty just pushed me over the edge. Sure, my trip won't be filled to the brim with devastatingly gorgeous florals from Florenta Flower Design, glittery gold accents and one of the most stunning gowns I have ever laid my eyes upon, but if it elicits even...
I kind of want to give Sarah Kate a huge hug. Like the biggest hug she's ever received.

So when Brittany of BKB Photography sent along her big day captured by Click Imagery, I couldn't wait to peel open the pretty. What I found in ...
I love engagement sessions. I know, I know... I've said it a million times before, but, honestly, I can't help it.

And this darling shoot from Hannah Persson? Well, it's a cute-as-can-be duo, breathtaking scenery and smiling faces that fill up the...
They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, and though I'm not sure if that's true or not, it sure does make for a romantic day.

And amazing images, like these from Marcella Treybig Photography. Good luck or not, I've never met a rainy day...
The night before my wedding, I was a crazy ball of nerves. So swept up in the excitement of day to come, the only thing that eased those bride-to-be jitters was being surrounded by all my nearest and dearest. Sharing stories and laughs across the table at a rehearsal dinner just like this one. And in the realm of pre-wedding parties, this Vermont affair planned by Lauren Wells Events pretty much rocks. With the look and...

Few weddings stop me dead in my tracks but this one has reduced my brain to producing only short phrases like the colors: wildly vibrant, the Bride: insanely adorable, and the whole event: what dreamy Mcdreams are made of. The longer version tells the tail of a crazy talented group of vendors like Events of Love and Splendor, Heavenly Blooms...
There are a few things in this life that I'm passionate about but I have to admit that food & design rank amongst the top. And when you combine the two? Well it's simply sensory overload in my eyes. We recently had the opportunity to get Behind the Scenes with the stunning LA pastry shop and restaurant, Bottega Louie, and I've barely been able to contain my excitement since. Photographed by the crazy talented...
Truth be told, us Boston girls have been chomping at the bit for Spring.

Sweet Emilia Jane helped this style-savvy bride plan the blueprints for the day (which included a whole lot of ombre, a bit of chevron plus a 1,000 paper cranes!) and...
Our Behind the Blog collection is bar none my favorite series we've ever done on SMP. As bloggers ourselves, we spend large amounts of our day alone with nothing more than our thoughts and our trusty computers. So finding kinship in other like-minded bloggers has been sort of like a breath of fresh Spring air...filled with soul and style and more inspiration than we could ever imagine. So when the adorable Leah...
