Confession time: I'm a bit of a flower snob. I've been known to snub florals of the grocery store variety in the past, so I was a little taken aback when our talented floral contributor, Caroline from Wild Folk Studio, came to us with this idea. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that plain jane flowers could look this gosh darn pretty. I am officially a believer, and there's a chance I owe an apology to grocery stores around the...
It's no secret that we, the ladies behind SMP, have absolutely amazing jobs. But when Dove Hair asked us to play hair models as THE Mark Townsend tamed our locks into gorgeous, red carpet-worthy wedding do's — we nearly fainted. I definitely fell out of my chair. I mean, THE Mark Townsend (the genius behind Jennifer Lawrence's fabulous mane and too many A-listers to, well, list) was going to beautify our tresses using...
This wedding is exactly what I need on a Tuesday morning. A pretty package of love and the happiest of smiles seen through the lens of Louisa Bailey. Complete with sweet kisses underneath the most stunning purple petaled tree I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure I'll be in the gallery, wishing I was underneath that gorgeous tree all. day. long.
Inspiration can come from everywhere in these modern days of wedding planing, but to this old school wedding blogger, there's still nothing like a perfectly curated bridal event such as Unveiled. And after two incredibly successful events in Southern California, Unveiled is returning to San Francisco on Thursday, May 30th from 5 to 9:30 p.m. for their last show of the season! Lovelies...
One of the best parts of a wedding? It's your day, all yours. To twirl your dress as much as you please and soak in every moment of happiness that you've waited for with your one true love by your side. Surely, there was no exception for this gorgeous red-lipped Bride. In fact, it was twice as nice because this lovely lady got to celebrate her birthday at midnight, serenaded with sparklers and her sweetie singing happy birthday. If you ask me, that sounds like the best birthday ever. With ...
The worst kept secret in SMP Illinois history? We love Salvage One weddings. That's okay, though... we don't mind the entire world knowing. Because when a sweet Salvage One soiree crosses our paths, it's a guaranteed day of non-stop lovely. Particularly when it's two-day cultural affair boasting beautiful blooms from...
I'm not exaggerating when I saw my jaw literally dropped at these photos. Do you know, half of them are at the art historian bride's home? You've simply got to read all about the wedding below and then block out your entire afternoon. You're going to need at least that much time to devour every Tuscan inch of the full gallery from...
Even though I have never actually stepped foot outside of the Atlanta airport, I am 100 percent certain that I would love, love, love The ATL. Maybe that's because it's a city that seems to scream Southern hospitality and also hosts some of the most amazing weddings you will ever lay your eyes upon, like this sweet affair captured by Paperlily Photography. The perfect mix of traditional and modern with the prettiest of details...
One thing I love more than anything? Karaoke. Oh my goodness, do I like to get up and sing. So, when I read that this darling duo actually met on karaoke night AND that the dashing groom chose to rock Beastie Boys, I knew I was going to seriously adore them and their wedding. And you know what? I was right. A sweet soiree held at the breathtaking Delaney Vineyard, it's a romantic affair with a candlelit aisle, dark red...
We know that all eyes will be on the bride come the big day, but that doesn't mean we can forget to dress our grooms + their men to the nines, now can we?! And when it comes to making sure the guys are looking dapper from rehearsal dinner to reception, look no further than Alton Lane. From custom tuxes to casual suits, the bespoke men's clothier is setting a new standard when it comes to outfitting stylish gentlemen! Let's hear it...
From the Jenny Packham dress to the custom veil to her absolutely beautiful smile, this bride is stunning. And her wedding, a Jewish-Persian fusion affair captured by Bia Sampaio Photographs, is absolutely breathtaking. The light, the fresh ambiance of the garden, the warmth of the entire night. Perfection. The kind of perfection that makes...
This is literally the easiest DIY project I've ever done. And I did it while my kids were watching a Peppa Pig which is like 15 minutes. Okay, so... I love baskets. Love them. Use them to hold wood & blankets in the winter, gardening tools in the summer. I throw our newspapers in a basket, our magazines, my kids books, the works. So being able to elevate a basket to wow status in like no time at all? It's VERY...
Every time a Stewart Leishman wedding comes our way, I can't help but let out a little squeal. I mean, he's the king of fabulously photographed Australian affairs, with every wedding more seemingly lovely than the last. But no matter how much I heart the modern-meets-classic design behind this garden soiree, it's the beautifully planned details that totally stole the show. It's an off-the-charts kind of pretty that we know you'll...
One peek at the photos you're about to see from Stylish & Hip Weddings, and you're going to think the wedding was a gorgeous tropical destination wedding. Somewhere on a beach with margaritas just out of site. But the absolutely stunning bash was at Navy Beach. And it is just that. Stunning. So stunning, in fact, I'll be spending my day in...
I've spent my entire life obsessed with weddings. From the age of ten, I would leaf through bridal magazines like it was no one's business, obsessing over every last floral arrangement, stunning locale and beautiful gown. But, my favorite part of the Big Day? The stories behind it all... the way it all came together. And these two Boca Raton sweeties? Well, they enlisted the help of family and friends to craft one of the most beautiful days you will ever see. From DIY paper goods to...
I'm freaking out a little bit because we just got word that the E! news feature that we did is airing in like...well NOW! If you're an East Coaster it's on at 7PM EST and again at 11:30PM. We would loooooooove for you to tune in and suport us if you have some time! We're all nervous and giddy and awkward right now so it would feel better if we knew all of our SMP friends were sitting watching alongside us! I'm going to do a fun behind the scenes feature in a few days but first let's all...
The inspiration behind this wedding design (on top of the absolutely beautiful love between these two) was the most beautiful flower, the Protea. I mean, it's amazing. To take inspiration from a bloom so interesting, and so lovely, this bride absolutely had to know what she was doing. She was creating a wedding whose images from Sharon De La O have captivated me all weekend... and with...
If ever there was a photographer that had a way of capturing all the beautiful moments of a wedding, both big and small, it would surely be Elizabeth Messina. And she does so with such beauty; the kind that transforms a wedding photograph into pure, unabashed art. This seaside affair is a celebration of all those moments between a gorgeous couple and their precious baby girl that resulted in a day designed by ...
Weddings from Bryan and Mae are some of my favorite for two reasons. First, a whole lot of the beautiful celebrations they capture are in my gorgeous home state (Michigan) and I love the little piece of home. And second, they are phenomenal at capturing a couple's love. You can see the tenderness in the way they embrace, hear the laughter, and feel the excitement. And, the coolest couples choose these two talented photographers to capture...
It’s not every day a wedding puts so much pep in my blogging step, but this pretty little number from Desi Baytan Photography has done just that. From the ultra chic styling to Three Petals’ pin-perfect blooms, this Japanese garden affair pulled off the perfect blend of modern design and timeless tradition. ...
