This, my friends, is one very talented bunch. I'm talking a beautiful bride and groom (plus awesome friends and family) who really know a thing or two about crafting an amazing wedding. Think DIY florals, homemade IPA and a stellar taco buffet and you are on the right track. Add in a team of talented vendors (hello Wedding Planning Plus and ...
This bride is awesome. I know that for a fact. Because not only have I spent some time emailing with her lovely little self (she's uber-sweet), but she threw one seriously amazing wedding, as well. A wedding that seamlessly combines vintage chic glamour with traditional elegance, plus a modern twist. It's like a trifecta of wedding goodness featuring some of the prettiest details you will ever lay your eyes upon (trust me) and you can see every moment captured by ...
A wedding coordinator sister and a Maui wedding are two parts of the best recipe ever. Said sister is a planner at Details Details Wedding & Event Planning, and she planned a Hawaiian wedding the likes of which we've never seen before, but we're obsessed with every single image from...
It makes my heart so incredibly happy to see a wedding like this. One where I just know all the dreams that danced in the couples' heads during the planning process came to life even more beautifully than they could have imagined. With Calluna Events at the planning helm, breathtaking florals from The Perfect Petal and the stunning ...
Have you ever met anyone who didn't like s'mores? Because I've yet to come across a single soul. I mean, I'm not entirely shocked - the combination of graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallow is utterly unbeatable. And though the traditional s'more is fantastic, for our West Elm party, we decided to elevate it just a touch by turning it into a full blown cake! That perfectly...
Bride or not, every woman deserves a little pampering every once in a while! So our second LBB gift guide was sort of a no brainer. Lucky us, we've got a whole book full of spa and beauty professionals right at our fingertips and we're taking advantage. Here are our top picks to pamper her pretty for the holidays! [dotted] 1.
Because every good party needs a signature cocktail, this coconut fizz beauty should unquestionably be yours. It was a massive hit at our wintry West Elm event. This bad boy looks like a snowball, and it tastes like a dream! I promise you won't regret this decision. [dotted]...
I would have sworn up and down this beautiful wedding inspiration from Urban Rose Photo was perfectly placed in a sweet French village. The delish nosh, the perfect petals, everything down to the stunning calligraphy from Kathryn Murray had me convinced. But no, the pretty party, styled and designed by...
Having trouble finding the perfect gift for the modern bride on your list? Look no further. The modern bride has a rather colorful, black-and-white-striped and eclectic take on life. She’ll scream and do just about anything for Jonathan Adler, Kate Spade, or Andy Warhol. She’s planning a wedding like you’ve never seen before, so the perfect gift reflects her vibrant...
I actually made these beauties, in heart shaped format mind you, for a mini-wintry get together with a few girlfriends not long ago and I can't even begin to tell you how big of a hit they were. Who knew grown-women would go nutty over sweetly shaped desserts? Though this may seem impossible, I'm convinced they make your hot chocolate taste better to boot (and they fully made our...
I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand more times - I love elopements. Nothing is more romantic or intimate or gets to the core of what marriage is all about like whisking your loved one away to say I do. And doing it at San Francisco City Hall with Elle Photography snapping every perfect moment? Well that's just genius.
When a stunning park setting and an adorable bride and groom come together for a couple of "I do's," it's a beautiful, beautiful thing. The kind of affair, in fact, that you only see in fairytales... or those uber-romantic movies. So to say that we were just a tad bit excited to dive into every last gorgeous detail of this stunning day captured by Kina Wicks is, well... one serious understatement. And the gallery of drop-dead...
If I could spend the rest of my days in this minty blue masterpiece, I'd be a happy girl. It's everything my pastel-loving heart craves with a side of rustic farm charm to boot. Throw in the gorgeous snaps from Glass Jar Photography and country chic design by Village Vines Florists, and you can bet this...
While you may not go to such lengths to decorate your cake on any average day, New Years eve just so happens to make for the perfect excuse to let your inner crafter shine. Transform a simple, ho-hum dessert into a sight for sore eyes with this fabulously, wintry, glittery cake topper! And with just a few steps, we'll show you how... Silver glitter...
It seems like the understatement of the year to say that this wedding is gorgeous, but honestly... take one look at the amazing images captured by SMS Photography and you won't be able to believe the beauty. Because this is a wedding that was planned to absolute perfection by CLINK, and from those stunning blooms by ...
Tonight I am going to have a little conversation with my honey about eloping in Paris. A little convo about jumping on the next flight across the Atlantic, calling a fabulous team of vendors (ahem, MON PLUS BEAU JOUR and Chapel Expiatoire) and basically recreating every.last.moment of this gorgeous Parisian affair captured by ...
Abby Jiu captures wedding in a way that makes my heart sing. And this beauty at the Trump National Golf Club is no different. It's classic perfection with a layer of romance woven in for good measure, leaving me speechless from start to finish. Top it all off with a Bride that couldn't be more lovely and one seriously dapper groom, and we've got a winner on our hands.
It's not often I get to feature a wedding on SMP where I was actually a guest, but when it happens, I can barely contain my excitement. Mostly when it was a wedding like this. One where I literally walked around with my mouth open in awe from the ceremony to the last dance because Lindsay, the Bride (and talent behind Woma Design), had picture perfect details tucked in every corner. She teamed up with some of my favorite vendors (...
I'm just going to say it… I'm seriously crushing on Cindy & Carl of Bliss & Bone. Not only does this stylish hubs and wife duo design the most chic and fashion-forward wedding invitations, but they also take amazing trips. Like this unbelieveable African Safari honeymoon. Trust me when I say this might just be the coolest thing you'll see all day.
