Bow ties, monograms and pretty pink hues - that's what preppy photo shoot dreams are made of. It's true, and those dreams are coming to life today through the light-filled images from Morning Light by Michelle Landreau. And with a couple that couldn't be sweeter in the center of all the preppy Georgia goodness, it goes without saying this one is a must see.
This wedding is so, so gorgeous, I bet you'll be shocked when I tell you it was planned in seven months... from all the way across the country. I definitely was. Every sweet gold, black, or white detail looked straight out of a dream and I have such a hard time wrapping my head around the concept that it was all done from so far away - so quickly. With Apertura behind the lens, this couple wed in what could possibly be one of the...
I've come to the realization that the happiest weddings start with the peppiest palettes. So when coral and peach mingle with a mix of varied neutrals, the result is a Sarasota wedding to perk you right up from the Monday morning drag. And from the prettiest stationery crafted by Paper Moss to Day Planners' oh-so-obvious attention to detail, this color-infused Indian wedding...
There really isn't a better way to beat a case of the Mondays than with a nice long end of day soak in a big ol' tub. Candles lit, music on... just ride it out. And in case you're looking to elevate that peaceful moment, we have just the thing: DIY Oatmeal Bath & Vanilla Body Scrub. A handful of ingredients that you likely already have on hand, and just a few minutes of your time and you are absolutely...
Beach weddings? They're amazing. A fun, laid-back and totally elegant kind of amazing. Which is why we happen to be quite smitten with this pretty little affair from Nancy Cohn, one we're calling the epitome of beach wedding perfection with its breathtaking seaside ceremony, gorgeous tented reception and bride and groom who couldn't be more in love. And...
I think it goes without saying that I am kind of obsessed with love. It consumes my days and I wouldn't have it any other way. Reading a description from a Bride like this beauty below that is simply overflowing with joy gets me all giddy inside, and the beautiful images from Kayla Adams that illustrates her gorgeous day just make me want to stand up and cheer. It's perfectly beautiful and perfectly them, and...
This amazing wedding trailer from Ambient Sky holds my absolute favorite one liner ever. "Your forever comes one day at a time." What an awesome sentiment, right? Only fitting coming from a wedding film so beautiful, I may or may not have needed to reapply my mascara after watching it (okay, I did). What a fantastic start to a Saturday. [iframe http://player.vimeo.com/video/59834167 601 338] From the gorgeous bride ... I have...

We eat, breathe and sleep details at SMP, so when we stumbled on Go Against the Grain, we felt as if we were instantly family - and we obviously couldn't wait to share the goodness with you. Because they create details that make us swoon and then some, and selfishly, we can't wait for all of you brides planning weddings out there to use their goods on your big day so they can eventually end up on the pages of SMP. It's...

Whether it's a fancy pants date night or a celebratory photo shoot, another year with your sweetie deserves all the confetti, champagne, and frosting on the planet. (Besides, we're not ones to turn down an opportunity to eat cake!) So to bring this anniversary inspiration to life, Ashley Lindzon designed the prettiest 1 year shindig to showcase that sweet wedded...
It's Friday, which means we're about to bid you farewell for the weekend. But this, my loves, is a special weekend. It's Mother's Day this Sunday. My very first official Mother's Day as a mom. And on this side of the equation, pictures like this from the gorgeous Michigan wedding earlier this week are the ones that catch in my throat. Those moments between a mother and her child on...
We Heart Photography just made my Friday. Well, my whole weekend, really. Because this gorgeous 3 Oaks Vineyard affair? It's the kind of wedding that just makes you happy. The sweet DIY details (I am looking at you, awesome table numbers), the soft color palette, the fabulous evening of dining under the stars (+ twinkle lights)... this is what we call...
Whenever a wedding truly reflects not only the couple but the venue surrounding that happy celebration, it makes the wedding festivities all the more beautiful. Taking the feel and essence of Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse and infusing the details with that same natural, rustic beauty is exactly what Kelly Oshiro did and the result is pure perfection. That perfection includes...
I've told you before that I work with some of the most talented ladies (and gents!) in all of the land, right? Well today I have visual proof! Our darling editor, Mrs. Abby C, recently threw this gorgeous baby shower for a dear friend of hers and I can't even get over all of the cute. The theme? "April Showers Brings May Flowers" - with umbrella cookies and handcut ombre raindrops to boot. ...
Well today's the day. The day we've been waiting for. The day we get to see Mr. DiCaprio and Ms. Mulligan portray the infamous Gatsby and Daisy. This wedding blogger is excited as can be. Because if there is one iconic piece of literature the wedding industry just loves to recreate, it's the grandeur and the luxuriousness of The Great Gatsby. So of course, we've got a little Gatsby-esque inspiration á la...
Can I be honest? I love pink. And glitter. And polka dots and really any kind of girly goodness. I know, I know...I'm pretty much fulfilling every blogger stereotype out there but when this sort of Kate Spade-inspired shoot comes my way, I just can't contain the giddies. But behind all the poppy colors and bold prints are the real stars of this show. Vendors like Jasmine Star, ...
You heard it here first folks: Aaron Hartselle is an event styling genius. His ability to turn a mediocre space into one that is dripping in the prettiest of pretty that ever existed never fails to both shock and amaze me. Captured by Bess Friday, this gorgeous dinner party is one I am deeply saddened to have missed. ...
La Jolla, I love you. This beautiful seaside town on the west coast was truly made for weddings. Weddings that I will never tire of and this one is has completely captivated me this afternoon. It might be the breathtaking florals from Isari Flower Studio, the lovely invites from Julie Song Ink or the charming grounds of...
You know what I love about Australian weddings? Well, besides the fact that they are drop-dead gorgeous and always (always) leave me speechless? The simple elegance that exudes from each and every wedding... the effortlessness of every soiree we feature. It's like you lovelies know you rock, and it shows. So, this breathtaking soiree by A Bear a Deer and a Fox? Amazing. With a joy that will warm your heart, details that will make...
