So by now you've probably fallen in love with these Woodstock sweeties, but let me assure you, the best is yet to come. Set at the coziest inn tucked away in Vermont, this wedding is everything I dream about when it comes to autumn in New England. And from their welcome bags filled with local faves, to the ceremony recessional to "Call Me Maybe,"...
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. Because this gorgeous Sunnyvale wedding is pretty much my rustic meets elegant dream come true... and I definitely think that deserves some hugging. Also on my hug list? Ashley Brinkley Events (seriously fab stylings), ...
I knew from the moment I laid my eyes on these gorgeous images by Sarah Deshaw, I was going to love this wedding. Love it in that way that only seersucker suits, pretty pink hues and touches of burlap can bring. Because when sweet Southern elegance meets intimate garden party, you can't help but adore every last minute. That's a fact, lovelies. See all of the pretty planned by...
I absolutely adore when someone in the industry ties the knot. Adore. Because it's just so fun to see the wedding dreams that have been swimming around in their minds come to life on their biggest of big days. 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. There's just something so magical about spending the day with your future Mr. or Mrs. and capturing all of that pre-wedding excitement that goes straight to my heart. I adore them. 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. Whether your ceremony gets pushed inside amongst the candles, or the sky opens up just in the knick of time, like this lucky couple experienced, it makes for the most intimate ambiance. 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...
This wedding gave me chills. From the moment I set sight on the images from Susan Baker Photography to the last line of the sweet description from the Mother of the Bride - chills. Because it's beautiful defined, and with Matthew Robbins Design at the design helm and JZ Events planning every last moment to...

See all the reasons why ...

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. Enough of this cold, grey weather, we're ready to don our prettiest maxi skirts and wiggle our toes into gilded sandals for some much needed Vitamin D. And what better way to celebrate than with a good old Pinterest contest. SMP Living is welcoming all things Spring with a...
Have you ever been to Bridal Veil Lakes? I never have, but I feel like I've been to this land where pretty is ever-present thanks to You Look Nice Today Photography. Their images have transported me from my little desk to this gorgeous lakeside wedding, and I couldn't be happier. I can imagine I'm sitting in that perfect light, watching that adorable couple tie the knot. And it's a fabulous way to spend a Thursday...
I'd be willing to bet my bottom dollar that this wedding will become a new all-time fave. Why? Because when you mix the California coast with a modern pink party, you know you're in for a serious treat. 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...
"A contemporary wedding with touches of old world glamour." Nine words spoken by one VERY beautiful bride that sent a serious shiver up my wedding lovin' spine. Because if there is anything that can elicit a feeling of pure joy in my heart, it's that exact combination. (Seriously.) Add in a stunning gown by Rene Salud, vintage cars and gorgeous images of the day captured by ...
