"Our bellies full and our hearts warm." Is that the best quote ever or what?!? Not surprising, since it's coming from a bride who is one of the coolest we've ever gotten to know. (Seriously.) A bride that, along with her dapper groom and the oh-so-talented All You Need Is Love Events, planned a day that will most definitely go down in SMP history with a stunning ...
There are happy brides and then there is this beautiful Adelaide Hills Mrs., a stunning sweetie who literally can't stop smiling. I'm talking one image after another of ear to ear HAPPY and it's a joy that is downright contagious. Also joyous? Her drop-dead gorgeous wedding, which is filled to the brim with special DIY touches (here's looking at you fab stationery) and memorable details that make every moment seriously heartwarming. See it all captured beautifully by...
My mom coffession. I'm not the best at playing. Like imagining that we're princesses that run a doggie spa with a hospital on the side and then the pirates come and we decide that we can be princess doggie spa doctor pirates. I'm just not that good at it. But what I am good at? Crafts. Anything with glue. And definitely anything with glitter. Which means that these two easy breezy art projects are right up my Mother's Day ally. Whether it's a gift for grandma or an activity that you can do on...
I want to live in this wedding. Like pack up my belongings, grab my passport and head on up to Ontario to set up shop at Still Wood Farm. I am that obsessed. Because this wedding? This beautiful day chock-full of l.o.v.e? It's exactly how you want/dream your wedding to be. Cozy, yet elegant with heartwarming details aplenty. Oh, and two of the craftiest sweeties you'll ever meet. See every last moment captured by...
I love this bride. I love her confidence. And I love that she knows exactly what she wants. I think that is so important when planning a wedding, to be you and do what makes you happy. Wear a red dress, don't have a set color palette and book a fabulous biergarten like The Rathskeller for your venue. That's exactly what these two did and there's no doubt that the photos from...
When it comes right down to it, it's the floral design that makes a wedding in my book. And when you've got Sarah Winward by your side, it's destined to be one super happy day. Add in all the rustic scenery an outdoor lover could imagine and you've got a woodland wedding dream-come-true. Jesse Erasmus snapped up all the photo goodness, and...
I grew up on a lake, well two actually. One near my Dad's house and one near my Mom's. Now I live on the coast, and as much as I love the tides and crashing waves, I miss being near a fresh water lake like the one in this breezy e-sesh from Loft Photographie. Cozied up on a sweet little dock, these two couldn't be any cuter.
I've been kind of obsessed with the idea of visiting Brazil ever since a good friend of mine spent two months soaking in the amazing landscape and culture. He said it was awesome... and after seeing this sweet affair captured by Alem Photo, I agree whole-heartedly. A fun-filled day set against the beautiful Itapema Beach, it's drop-dead gorgeous blooms from ...
Tea parties are the best, don't you think? They are like this crazy cool nod to classic romance (think Jane Austen) with an elegant vibe that seriously can't be beat. So, a tea party inspiration shoot? Amazing. Especially when it's a sweet collaboration between some of Georgia's finest vendors, including Pretty Swell Parties, Bloomin' Bouquets and ...
This couple has made it through some pretty great, big distances in their relationship (just see below) so at the end of the distance and the beginning of the "we" they decided to throw a gorgeous, and I mean gorgeous, soiree to celebrate their love. And lucky for us, the amazingly talented Daniel Aaron Sprague was on hand to capture the whole thing... so we've got...
One thing most brides don't prepare for until the wedding day has arrived is how to feel natural in front of the camera. When you get to work with a talent like Uma Sanghvi of Studio Uma, there's no doubt you'll end up with stunning photos either way! But it can be challenging to let loose, ignore the lens and feel truly comfortable. So, Uma herself is sharing with us some of her tried and true modeling tips that will result in the best...
New York weddings make my heart pound faster. It's that oh-so-special city that takes any event from elegant to unforgettable. And while I could go on for days about just how chicness of this winter affair, can we just take moment soak in the perfection that is this BHLDN-clad bride? Clear your morning sched and start your Wedding Wednesday off right in the gallery of ...
I'm a mom. Of two perfect little babies. Audrey, who is 4...with golden ringlets and a smile for days. And William, 2, who has this mischievous grin that gets me every single time. And I can say - with total confidence - that mother's around the world all want the same thing. Time. Time to snuggle their babies in bed. Time to drink their coffee. Time to make pancakes and run around in the backyard and play, really play with their families. So this little piece of Mother's Day inspiration, shot...
When you are completely dedicated to adding a dose of personality to your big day, you'll do just about anything. Like drive from Wisconsin to Key West in a great big van chock-full of meaningful details, just like these two sweeties. And then you'll sprinkle those meaningful details and travel-inspired memorabilia throughout every last moment captured by the always amazing Erin Jean Photography... and the result? Pure, seaside...
When two architects wed in NYC, you just know The Foundry is going to hit it out of the park on every level. The stunning venue is perfect for two architectural lovers... the perfect backdrop for the biggest day of their lives. And with both Belathee Photography + Elaine Melko Photography there with their cameras, you just know...
I think we can all agree that there's nothing quite like an al fresco affair in sunny CA, so planning a destination soiree in Beverly Hills? Kind of a no-brainer. Which is exactly what these two sweeties did, enlisting the help of the oh-so-talented Bella Destinee to coordinate their French meets English garden dream day at the stunning ...
This is the perfect example of taking a simple color palette and turning it into all out glamor. Editing down that rainbow of hues to a select combination that pops is key: a deep red, in this instance, paired with white and pale pink. It's total classic meets gorgeous crafted by Luxe Fete. Now throw in a dress by Reem Acra that any one of us would give our right arm to wear and...
We're heading behind the blog with the adorable Bradley from Luella & June this afternoon, and I'm kind of a little over the moon about it. Because Bradley is not only crazy talented, but amazingly sweet, and brilliant to boot. Photographed by...
If there were an inspiration shoot I could live in for the rest of my life, this would be it. The macarons alone have sold me on the idea. Aside from the tasty treats, Avec Toi Events has put together a bit of inspiration that is devine. Devine. All the tabletop decor from Casa de Perrin, the gorgeous blooms, and those aforementioned sweets have been gathered up into...
So I kind of have a tiny (scratch that, HUGE) obsession with big, airy, open-concept lofts. Not only do they make the sweetest city apartments (my not-so-secret dream abode), but serve as the perfect backdrop for any sun-drenched styled shoot. And while you would necessarily think it, this photo sesh from Kali Lu Photo, Serephine and ...
