Anyone that knows me knows one thing: I am obsessed with libraries. I mean, one room after another filled with a plethora of never-ending knowledge + history housed in a beautiful building? It's magical. And since I also happen to have a slight obsession with weddings (read: a huge obsession), a wedding held in a library is basically my favorite thing (ever). And this gorgeous day captured perfectly by Evan Hunt Photo? It's...
I love summer. With all my being. So a sweet engagement shoot like this one from Laura Kelly Photography fills my heart with happiness. Particularly when the two sweethearts in the center of it all, just seem to be over the moon for each other (we all know I eat that up with a spoon). So it's safe to say when you pair summer and love, I turn into mush -...
It hit me this morning that we just entered August. I don't know why, but I just couldn't believe it. How is it that the summer months just seem to fly by? So in an effort to help things slow down a bit, I thought we could all sit down and soak in this fun picnic inspiration from Vanesssa Repupilli... The best part? Getting the look is totally doable. With just a few key pieces your summer picnic will go from drab to fab in no time.
This wedding is chock-full of awesome. Like a contemporary meets classic awesome that is seriously overflowing with pretty. The kind of awesome that combines a stunning Monique Lhuillier gown with some crazy beautiful personal touches and an entire gallery of devastatingly gorgeous images from Anne Brookshire Photography. Even better? It's a day that is not only...
Oh my, this Bride and I are kindred spirits. And the fact that her hubby asked for her hand in the gardens of Versailles makes my heart skip a beat. They planned their beautiful day with the French countryside in mind, and the result was a day where I could easily spend all my days. It's all around lovely, and captured to perfection by Christopher Helm - making this...
Even though I happen to be one of the few SMPers that doesn't reside in the land of beauty known as New England, that doesn't mean that I don't truly appreciate just how seriously awesome it is. Nope, weddings like this one (and a few amazing vacas) have been a constant reminder that no one does pretty, pretty nuptials quite like New Englanders, especially when it's a rustic love-fest with a few fab contemporary details sprinkled within. Add in some gorgeous images from...
If this bride isn't the cutest bride in the whole wide world, I'll eat my keyboard. She is so stinking cute. And nothing is sweeter than a ridiculously adorable bride on the happiest day of her life, especially when the wedding day is just perfect. Seriously, just perfect. Forever Photography Studio captured the aforementioned wedding, and holy...
The best way to sum up this Riverside soiree is classic...with a twist. Think a muted, peachy palette with subtle pops of gold, and soft feminine details alongside a modern chevron print. It's the best of both worlds wrapped up in one gorgeous day, and we have the entire wedding from the talented Kayla Adams waiting for you here. Before you...
I've done my fair share of traveling in the past and one of my very favourite moments to date is witnessing the Grand Canyon for the very first time. It's almost physically impossible to capture the magnificent beauty that's happening before your eyes, but Bryce Covey does an incredible job at expressing it through his lens. From gaping craters to...
This sweet fête reads like the most darling of southern fairytales - complete with a dashing prince and a charming southern princess. It's a little bit country, with a side of style, and filled to the brim with the prettiest blooms you ever did see. It's all made even better because we get to see it all unfold through the gorgeous images from Kt Crabb Photography, and...
Manhattan weddings are the epitome of sophistication; the crème de la crème of glamour, if you will. So when a talented photographer like Sara Wight sends us a little Manhattan ditty, we bask in its beauty like it's no one's business. Because is there anything better than lush blooms from OVANDO, a swank reception at ...
So we're hosting, like, the best contest in the entire world right at this very moment. You want to know why it's the best contest in the entire world? Because once it's over, we all end up with a handful of your grandmother's recipes (which, lets face it, are always far superior to any other recipe), and one of you ends up with a KitchenAid mixer! Now that's a win-win if I've ever heard one. The details: 1. Whip up one your favourite family recipes 2. Style it, photograph it and...
It's hard to imagine a day when I didn't know that this wedding existed, because now? It's all I can think about. A Napa Valley stunner from Kristin Newman Designs and Gathering Floral + Event Design, it's the kind of day you grow up dreaming about with lush, beautiful blooms, a take-your-breath-away ceremony and a stunning bride and groom filling every last...
When you're a designer for Tory Burch, it's inevitable that your wedding is going to be rocking some serious fashion must-haves and this Bride has more than a few major wow moments bundled inside this affair. But right along side all that beauty is a wedding that is all at once modern and romantic with details by My Bride Story, bushels upon bushels of garden blooms...
What's a better combo than berries and cream? If you ask me, it's berries, cream… and cake. Better yet, cake that's scented with lemon. This one is pretty simple and easy to make. It's also vegan and uses healthy coconut oil which should be enough justification to eat it for breakfast if you really wanted to (surely, I didn't...) If you have more restraint than I do, it would be a lovely addition to a...
I've always been eager to live a healthier, happier life -- from the food I eat or the products I use. But let's be real, sometimes that's just way easier said than done. And whether you're a bride striving to look and feel your best before the Big Day, or like me, a beauty nut who doesn't have time to mess around with health compromising products, let's make a pact and put an end to the madness. Let's say "no" to products that include a zillion chemicals we can't pronounce, and turn to the...
If there is one thing we know does well with you lot, it's a neutral backdrop, letting a really big, gorgeous love take center stage. Whites, creams, beiges... we all go a little crazy over the beautiful whites, especially when they are perfectly textured with things like beautiful blooms from Gathering Floral + Event Design and a beyond gorgeous paper suite from Oscar & Emma.
When the kind folks at NatureBox offered to send me a package of goodies in order to truthfully share my thoughts with you, our incredible SMP readers, it was all I could do to not jump up and down. I had heard wonderful things about this company in the past, and couldn't wait to give them a test run for myself. Shortly thereafter, the magical box filled to the brim with a variety of natural, healthy snacks made its way onto my doorstep. I...

It's my personal believe that at the center of every good dinner party - like the one that Molly designed and Bryce captured here - is a really, really good cocktail. One that feels rich and special, something a bit out of the ordinary that will have your guests raving. Although not too much raving because we all know what happens to a dinner party when 2 good...
