We are in the middle of quite the heat wave, so I find myself looking for any excuse to virtually escape to a gorgeous coastline at all times. Well, today I found the prettiest way to dream of sandy shores and sweet salt air, and it's all thanks to this beach beauty Ashley Victoria Photography sent our way. It simply doesn't get prettier. The palette, the place, the reception perfection - it's one fine way to virtually escape your...

Today has been filled to the gills with a whole lot of fun, but we're not done just yet. Not even close. Because we'd like to cordially invite you to hang out with us next Monday...and a few of our industry besties, like Mindy Rice, Mar of TEAM Hair and Makeup, Joel Serrato...
So we're now well equipped with our inexpensive workout gear, we've enjoyed both kale salad, quinoa cakes and this healthy...
Ahhh... the beach. A little slice of sandy heaven perfect for a little romance and an entire day of engagement session lovely. Don't believe me? Just ask these two sweeties, who happen to spend all of their free time cruising the coastline and chose the fab Southern California paradise known as Balboa Island for their e-session with the ever-wonderful one love photography. See every last beautiful moment in the...
This baby is stuffed to the gills with glamour, but in that really easy, totally effortless approach that I swear you have to be born with. And the starring Bride is seriously dripping in it. From that big bowed Lanvin dress to every last detail of her Palm Springs wedding to her love. It's a mash-up of cheeky details that the Parker executes so well and a layer of romantic blooms by ...
Ok so since we're on a bit of a health kick today, we thought it'd be fun to round-up some of our favourite inexpensive workout gear. To be completely honest, my choice in workout attire is abysmol at best. You know those t-shirts they hand out at basketball games and other such events? Yeah. It's not a pretty sight. But what I didn't realize was that CUTE activewear can be found at a variety of price...
When I first opened this wedding, I was immediately struck by the stunning flowers. They could literally be a collection of art. In a museum. They are just that good. And as I was able to look past Parsonage Event's masterpiece, I saw a wedding that was sweet, beautiful, and filled with so much love. The credit for that goes straight to the blushing bride and her talented planner...
We're all about healthful eating today on SMP Living. From the Kale Salad that we started with to the Lentil Soup that we just gobbled up. But of all of our favorite clean eating recipes, this is definitely our new favorite. Because it kind of tastes bad for you but good for you at the same time. And whether you serve it on a bun, burger-style, or top it with a big ole dollop of yogurt (or...
Since moving out to Boston, I've noticed a not-so-subtle shift in my closet. An invasion of stripes, navy and every East Coast cliché. So from the second I locked eyes with this nautical-inspired shoot from Jody Savage Photography, Couture Fleur Boutique and Paperista, you better believe I was one smitten kitten.
We may be in the thick of a sticky + hot summer, but since getting an exclusive sneak peek at the BHLDN Fall Winter collection (available in August), I'm anxiously awaiting the cooler months! Known for their stunning bridesmaid + partygoer dresses, BHLDN hits the mark again with a brand new crop of swoon-worthy beauties...
Beach weddings have always been my favorite. Some little girls dreamt of grand ballrooms for their big day, I dreamt of gorgeous ocean vistas. Low and behold, when I did tie the knot it was with just such a backdrop - so when I see a wedding like this one from Keeper Creative, I know this Bride was a girl after my own heart. She kept it chic with a gorgeous ...
Confession time. I visit The Ritz Carlton, Laguna Niguel website on a weekly basis. I swear to you, I do. Because even though I am not exactly engaged, I've been dreaming of holding my wedding at this seaside paradise for what seems like years. Why, you ask? Well, because it happens to hold some of the world's most beautiful weddings, like this breathtaking beauty planned to perfection by...
Cooking dinner for my family is a bit of a challenge. My kids basically only eat white food. Chicken nuggets, noodles, ice cream. Don't judge, we're working on it. My husband on the other hand is an 80/20 vegan. Meaning that 80% of the time he eats a strict vegan, no oil (at all) diet and the other 20% he eats whatever he wants. He does this for health reason and actively tries to push that 80% closer to 100%. Anyway, finding quick easy meals for both ends of the spectrum is always a challenge...
You lovelies out there in SMP-land are so crazy stylish, it floors me. I mean, if I had just one ounce of the serious chicness you possess, I would be one happy lady. (A girl can dream.) And when it comes to crazy gorgeous ensembles, this darling duo really how it's done... and then some. Which makes their uber-fab Toronto engagement session even more amazing. Also amazing? Every last glorious image captured by...
I love when folks have a little fun with their engagement sessions, so this festive fair session from Kate Miller Photography is right up my alley. It's obvious these two are not only so in love, but completely fun - and that shows in every image sitting in this gallery. And really, can you ever go wrong with ferris wheels and cotton candy? I...
Kelly Hornberger is serving up the sweetest of fêtes today, and you know that's how we like to start our days on SMP Texas. It's pure prettiness from start to finish topped off with perfectly-fitting florals from Exquisite Petals. How can you not adore that? It's a gallery worth spending some seriously quality time with, and you can do just that right here...
I know I don't have to tell you this, but I've been spending my fair share of time daydreaming of my next big vacation, and this year I am a little bit antsier than most. I'm blaming it all on the fabulous inspiration literally overflowing from right here on SMP Destination, like this crazy gorgeous photo shoot straight from the heart of the beautiful El Salvador. A rustic meets organic take on all things tropical, it's a master class in some serious pretty with ...
They say that when it comes to your wedding day, you should most definitely expect the unexpected. Even if that does happen to include a little rain... or in the case of this darling duo, a monsoon. Yep, you read that right. A monsoon paid a visit to this breathtaking Lake Sunapee Country Club affair and it didn't dampen (no pun intended) the mood one bit. I guess that's what happens when two people are as chock-full of joy as...
I couldn't possibly put my finger on what I love most about this wedding captured by Scarlett and Stephen. And it's not because there isn't plenty to love, it's because everything blends perfectly together to make for one seriously fabulous celebration. It's the vintage glamour mixed with the love of family. It's the perfect planning by Emily Burton Designs. It's the way...
First off, I'm not a green gal and I never went gah over emerald being the color of the year. But pair it with gold? I'm in. Then layer on a bit of modern, European-Deco glam and we've got ourselves a gorgeous little shoot from Seen Photography. I'm betting that you'll walk...
