You probably know Kishani Perera because of her book. Her gorgeous, always facing forward, shockingly "me" (and I'm guessing "you") cover image picturing that fabulous chandelier and that hint of vintage, hint of modern sensibility. Yes...

If there's one thing I've learned from poring over dozens upon dozens of weddings here on SMP, it's this: personalization is key to the perfect day. I'm talking about weddings that feel thoughtful and authentic; where, if nothing else, guests can walk away saying, "That was so them." And this Midwest affair fits that bill to a pretty little T. Erin Jean Photography captured every eclectic-loving detail, and there's a million more...
This Goodwood Museum and Gardens wedding has so much heart I just want to hug it. With the sweet DIYs sprinkled throughout and a chic yet country vibe, every image from Annie Agarwal Photography is just downright adorable. It's enough to make your Tuesday perfectly charming, and you can get lost in all the lovely...
Judy Pak has this way of making you fall in love with weddings; it's like the moment you lay your eyes on her stunning images (works of art, really), you can't help but seriously adore all things "I do." And this darling Highlands Country Club affair is certainly no exception with its rainy day awesomeness and beyond beautiful classic details mix and mingling with vibrant...
You know how I knew I was going to absolutely adore this wedding? The photographer (the amazing Beatrice Howell of RomaBea Images) described it as a complete "dream." A dream filled with pretty pink hues, lush florals from Marcia L.Johnson Floral Artistry and one gorgeous moment after another set against the breathtaking beauty that is ...
This wedding shot by Abi Q Photography is such a beautiful example of pairing down details to only the most beautiful, most bang for your buck. Take note brides to be: you don't need to blanket your entire day in flowers. Instead? Try a show stopper like a floral blanket at the head table. It has that wow factor that can completely transform an event. And we're kind of dying over it.
You know when you meet someone and you automatically feel as if you're going to be fast friends? Well that's how I feel about Michelle Rago. Not only does she have the best job in the ENTIRE world (destination event planning? Hello!), she's also has style for days and a sense of humor to boot. Thanks to the girls at Belathee, we had the sheer pleasure of sneaking a behind the...
I absolutely, positively loved planning every last detail of my wedding. But with so many different elements involved in stitching together your big day, it's always good to have an expert pair of eyes on your side to help make your dreams reality. Enter 2H2 Design - the design service (created by interior designers) for the couple looking for custom and affordable wedding design that's done on their own terms!
I love Chicago and I love winter. And now, thanks to Loudbyte Cinematography, I love this couple. They are beyond cute and their wedding was a stunner. I can't help but get all warm and fuzzy when the look at each other. The way she smiles at him is pretty much the sweetest thing in the whole wide world. You're going to love them!

Can I just say that I'm kind of obsessed with this shoot. And by "kind of" I mean 100%, through-the-roof in love with this work of art ode to all things summer. From the perfectly styled blooms by Vo Floral Design, to the crazy pretty paper goods from Kathryn Murray, to the a-maz-ing captures by ...
If time and budget allows, preserving those sweet moments as a family is always a fantastic idea. With that said, we know from experience that a sweet photoshoot can turn sour in minutes if you haven't come fully prepared. And since we know these things can run a pretty penny, we've asked Christine to share some of her tips on how she ensures a flawless photoshoot each and every time. And for more shots of this sweet...
This wedding ticks all my dream wedding check boxes. Gorgeous photography by Calli B Photography? Check. Dreamy vistas? Check. Perfect florals from Mondo Floral Designs and stuning styling by CL Weddings & Events? Check. Adorable family? Check, check, check. It's a wedding filled to the...
Outdoor wedding perfection. That's what I am calling this darling Corralitos wedding, because, well... it soooo is. A breathtaking day filled to the brim with personalized touches (think Star Wars meets Lord of the Rings meets all kinds of pretty), it's the kind of wedding that puts a smile on your face the moment you dive into each and every detail from Pema Osei Ling. And that, my friends, is what we refer to as a whole...
Garden party meets gorgeous ballroom. Let that image soak into your head for a moment, and then start to scroll through the stunning images from Olivia Leigh Photographie below to see it come to reality. The result is just pure perfection from start to finish with one adorable couple adding to the sweetness, and you can see it all right here.
It's hard to imagine anything more fun than a drop-dead gorgeous wedding held in a beautiful camp setting, unless of course that drop-dead gorgeous wedding is followed up by a beachside BBQ and lawn games, something as crazy cool as this awesome day from A Simple Photograph. With its laid-back vibe, beautiful bride and groom and breathtaking ceremony setting, it's the epitome of all things rustic chic with its fair share of happiness...
This wedding is spectacular. Like a full-blown awesomeness bursting from every nook and cranny. It's the kind of wedding that combines one breathtaking backdrop after another (hello Maui) with a seriously adorable duo and that laid-back sophistication that only a Hawaiian wedding can bring. In other words, it's pure perfection... and you can see it all captured by Wendy Laurel in the...
Austin is one of the most awesome cities in the country; it's fun, vibrant and full of life. The kind of place that simply screams fabulous wedding, from its amazing venues to its uber-stunning bride and grooms tying the knot. Case in point? This gorgeous duo, who said "I do" at the amazing Plantation House amongst bundles of beautiful florals from ...
Growing up, I didn't dream of a wedding with ballrooms and big gowns - I dreamt of a wedding that looked exactly like this one. Where the salt air never stops touching your nose, and where beach and chic happily introduce themselves to each other. So when I stumbled on this beauty captured to complete perfection by First Mate Photo Co, I couldn't help but be in love with every moment.
Virgil Bunao can do no wrong in my book. The second I see his name alongside a wedding, I get more excited than I care to admit. And it's because of weddings like this one. Weddings that started with the sweetest of love stories, and then topped off with a fête filled with heart all captured so beautifully I could cry. It's image after image of pure lovely, and...
They say rain on your wedding day is good luck, and whether that is true or just something a smart planner made up for the bride with tears in her eyes, we adore rain. It makes for pictures like the very last one here (stunning Kunioo, really). Sunflower Florist gathered up some beautiful blooms and a few good friends and put together a...
