There are so many words I could use to describe this Essex House wedding from Lauren Gabrielle Photography, but honestly, there isn't a single one that would possibly do it justice. Glamorous, timeless, perfect? Yes, but nothing quite fits. So I'll leave you with the notion that it's every girls dream, (and every bloggers dream too, for that matter) and you can get lost in each and every gorgeous moment...
I love mini destination weddings. You know the ones. Those drop-dead gorgeous weddings where you and your honey (+ closest friends and family) venture off to a breathtaking paradise close to your hometown? It's a crazy wonderful way to celebrate and this fun-filled Grayton Beach State Park affair is a shining example with its vibrant hues, seaside nuptials and one stunning moment after another captured...
I know this goes without saying, but backyard weddings? They're awesome. And ever since that fateful day I viewed Father of the Bride for the very first time (shout out to 7th grade!), they've been some of my favorites. Which is exactly why I happen to be somewhat obsessed (read: all kinds of obsessed) with this darling Sonoma affair from Robin Jolin Weddings. It's what I call backyard perfection with a sweet garden...
This whole wedding weekend with the stunning couple and the beautiful rolling countryside is straight out of a scene from Under the Tuscan Sun. Family style dinners set outside an old stone villa - it's the whole nine yards designed and planned by SposiamoVi along with lavender and greenery by Fiori del Chianti. Oh to be a guest at this wedding.
So our inboxes have been flooded with some of the most delectable recipes I've seen to date. We're talking cookies, cakes, cinnamon buns... the works. We've been having so much fun with this series that we thought we'd extend it for just one more week! In the meantime, here's one of many awesome contest submissions to date. Kathryn O'Malley's grandmother's recipe for...
Let's face it, you really can't have a clambake without a solid clam chowder recipe. And I'm pretty sure we have just the ticket. Straight from Hog Island Oyster Co. (you may remember them from this incredible ...
We're big fans of Love This Day Events here at SMP. Kara's weddings are always beautiful, and are always a true reflection of the couple. And when you throw Brinton Studios into the mix, the resulting images are what blogger dreams are made of. Happy Wednesday to you, lovlies! From...
The idea of a clambake has always been incredibly appealing to me, but the fact that I don't live near the ocean has been a bit of a deterrent. It never really occurred to me that I could throw a city version with a similar, yet slightly urban approach. It turns out when you pair Fourteen-Forty, Amber Gress, ...
Let's just be honest. Dressing your bridesmaids on a budget is no small task. And finding a frock to suit everyone's taste? Nearly impossible. But that's where we come in. We shopped 'til we dropped and rounded up 11 dresses that break the typical 'maids mold without breaking the bank. Don't worry -- you can thank us later. Tell us fashionistas -- what look will your leading ladies be sporting on the Big Day? Bold and bright, or soft and subtle? All one gown, or mix and match? Let the...
Not only is this wedding beautifully captured by Aurora Meneghello Productions, but it's filled to the brim with sweet details and gorgeous florals placed perfectly by Locally Grown Weddings - making it one fabulous fit for the pages of SMP. So it's not surprise that it looks so darn pretty up in the lights, and there is even more to swoon over...
I love winery weddings. LOVE them. That air of sophistication mix and mingling with a laid-back vineyard vibe is always, always tugging at my heart strings. And in the case of this sweet Panton Hill Winery wedding, it's downright obsession that I am feeling. Because anytime you combine a breathtaking setting with fab paper goods (hello...
These two are the literal definition of adorable. Seriously. Their smiling faces, oh-so-chic fashion sense and palpable love for each other is just the kind of awesomeness you should see when you look up the word "adorable" in Webster's Dictionary. (Someone give them a call.) And their sweeter than sweet engagement session captured by All This Happiness Studios? A beautiful picnic meets park paradise chock-full of pretty.
I find it amusing that this recipe landed in my inbox as it was just the other day that I tried a ginger beer bourbon concoction for the very first time. Truth be told, I am a gin and soda girl through and through (those rich liquors have never been my schtick), but I have to admit that this pairing was seriously satisfying. Match it up with...
Let me start by saying the floral design by Blue Lotus in this Trinity River Audubon wedding is next level good. It's protea perfection, and actually, the entire wedding is just as stunning. It doesn't hurt, of course, the images from Sara & Rocky Photography are pinch yourself pretty - so cozy up close...
Ever since my little sister journeyed off to Spain to spend a week frolicking through the countryside, I've had this European paradise on the very top of my bucket list. I am fully convinced that it's the kind of place you just HAVE to visit at least once... and saying "I do" amongst its awesomeness? Even better. Especially when it's a day as sweet as this affair from Jeremy Standley Photography, an intimate gem of a wedding set...
Days like this are the epitome of all things pretty; the kind of day you dream about when you think "wedding." Maybe that has a little something to do with the drop-dead gorgeous location (Summerour Studio), the fab stylings of Amy Osaba and a custom gown designed by the bride that will literally take your breath away (seriously). All I know is that it's one beyond...
When I first peeked at this wedding, I thought it was in some magical forest far, far away - but when I saw it was in Jamaica Plain, right in our backyard, it made me fall in love with it that much more. Which is saying something, because I was already head over heels in love with every second captured by Shane Godfrey Photography - and you can see all the reasons why right here...
Being an SMP blogette sort of comes with an invisible press badge, one that lets us go behind the scenes of all things wedding. When we spotted this lovely Botanical invitation suite from Lana's Shop, you better believe we whipped out that badge, and we're so happy we did. Todd and Sarah, the sweet Bride + Groom had such a clear vision for their big day.
The vision behind this backyard soiree is simple. A casual, completely personal party that celebrates a love spanning across 10 years. And by bringing Truly You Events, Petals Lane and Eventions on board, the day turned into all that, plus more. ...
Since we're partway through August and fall is merely weeks away, I feel like it's essential to embrace every last ounce of summer. So if you're looking for me, I'll be sitting on the beach, drinking an ice cold beverage while listening to my summer playlist. And I will be doing so until September rolls around, at minimum. And while I'm at it, I'm thinking Clove & Kin's recipe for...
