Ah, the nightstand. It's the first thing you see when you awake in the morning, and the last thing you notice before you turn in for the night. So why is it often one of the most neglected areas in ones home? It typically becomes a complete afterthought, a catch all for, well, everything really. So, I ask, why not start your day with a handful of pretty? We've rounded up a few of our favourite goodies that will turn that...
I've never had the opportunity to meet these two Brisbane cuties (sadly), but I can tell you one thing for certain: they are one seriously fun duo. I know this for a fact, because I have spent the last hour gazing at their drop-dead gorgeous wedding and when I tell you it's one joyous moment after another, it's an understatement of epic proportions. From the bride's pre-wedding portraits with her beautiful pup to the bridal party's shenanigans (they know how to take a fun-filled picture) to...
These high school sweethearts had what all of us wish for on our wedding day, perfect weather, a dream team of vendors and a whole day surrounded by family and friends, literally. It's impossible not to feel all warm and cozy inside when you see their glowing smiles and the perfectly sunlit photos by Ken Kienow at Vine Hill House. Talk a walk through this lovely al fresco affair...
A wedding that's draped in stunning black and white details, with lace, pearls and satiny bow-ties is the epitome of timeless tradition for me. And if you told me that I'd be walking into a gorgeous ballroom like the ones at The Westin Ottawa where this styled shoot took place, that seals the deal. Top it off with shimmering table linens, sparkling chandeliers and glimmering chiavari chairs and you've got just about all the...
Hoo Films, I love you. I love you more than I could ever put into words. Because this stunning Honolulu film? It has seriously made my week... and many more to come. But that's what tends to happen when I meet two of the sweetest cuties ever and get to spend my day wrapped up in their gorgeous seaside affair. It's a mesmerizing look into a wedding that is all about the pretty and all about the LOVE... and those vows ("You have the...
You know what is my favorite? When a couple has a rich, strong history. A Cory + Topanga kind of love. These two met as kids at summer camp, and when it came time for their (fabulous) wedding, they returned to the town in New Hampshire where it all began. I can't even begin to tell you how much I love that. One peek at Joyelle West Photography's images of the day, though, and you'll get it. But just warning you...
There are a lot (A LOT) of reasons I adore Texas weddings, but ranking high atop the list? All of the creative details you lovelies manage to infuse into your big days. Take for example this sweet Austin duo, who took their love of design and architecture and created one crazy gorgeous memory after another with custom designed invites, DIY favors and a whole lot of woodworking. A day that will most definitely go down in SMP history? Yes, indeed. See every last moment captured by the...
We've seen our fair share of creative engagement sessions here at SMP... everything from rooms filled to the brim with balloons to drop-dead gorgeous locales to crazy gorgeous themes. And when it comes to these two sweeties, it's the appearance of their college alma mater that has our hearts pitter pattering. Because a happy frolic through the very place they first met and fell in love is kind of like the best thing ever. As are the breathtaking photos captured by the ever-talented ...
Two seriously stunning sweethearts, a classic getaway car and a whole lot of Southern charm. That's a recipe for wedding success, if you ask me. And when those three ingredients are wrapped up in a traditional Savannah Golf Club affair like this stunning gem of a day captured by Britt Croft Photography, it makes for one gorgeous Monday here at SMP. A Monday filled...
These two have a true love story in their back pockets and the wedding that culminated in these gorgeous images from Lexia Frank Photography was a labor of love in and of itself. After reading their story, I can't imagine anyone not wanting to put all their efforts into making a day as special as these two - to celebrate these two. You absolutely must read their story, but don't be surprised if you...
As we start a new week of swoon-worthy weddings, it only seems fitting to put our best foot forward. And with all the beauty and charm to knock your pretty little socks off, this Richmond affair is just what we need to make Monday morning sparkle. Set at the historic Virginia Center for Architecture, it's a celebration centered on traditional elegance and classic design paired with the prettiest pale green palette you can imagine.
The story behind this maternity shoot almost moved me to tears. After trying for some time, Dana and Carl were unsure if they'd ever be blessed with children. That is, until the stars aligned and they discovered they were having not one, but two little bundles of joy. That sense of both bliss and peace is clearly evident in this compilation of beachy photos, as captured by Christine Choi. And I, for one, couldn't be more excited for...
Adorable duos are kind of our thing here at SMP. Adorable duos boasting the sweetest of smiles and a whole lot of l.o.v.e. And sharing their joyous faces with each and every one of you? One of our favorite things to do. So, when we saw these cuter than cute Central Florida sweeties (and their charming e-session), we literally jumped at the chance to feature their stylish selves. Because what's better than a nod to vintage lovely all captured by the oh-so-talented...
It's so secret that I love winter. I super love winter. Almost as much as I love weddings in a barn. Put those two together, and it's over, as far as I'm concerned. It's over in a super gorgeous gallery from Alison Mish Photography, filled with lovebirds in sweaters and boots, snowy upstate New York, and sweet, pink cheeks. Make sure to see it all...
Yesterday we saw this wedding through gorgeous images from Dave Robbins Photography and today we're back with this lovely couple because we just loved them that much. And when we heard Hello Super studios had captured the day as they do (fabulously) we blocked out a few hours on our Saturday schedule to...
You know how to make an already stellar Saturday even more so? Throw a bundle of pretty, pretty inspiration into the mix... that's how. Which is just what we are doing here on SMP Australia with a fab introduction to one of our brand new (+ uber-amazing) advertisers, The Wanderers, an oh-so-talented team of photographers who are all about snapping up your every moment in ways you didn't even know were possible. I'm talking drop-dead...
Saturdays are awesome for many, many reasons, but here at SMP, they are even more special than most. That's because we happen to dedicate our weekends to the brand new advertisers joining our SMP family, and today's lovely new addition has us all kinds of excited... and then some. SMPers, meet Cheeca Lodge + Spa, a stunning Florida Keys destination offering award-winning service, dazzling accommodations and...
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...
Saturday means introduction time in SMP land, and today's talent is a destination bride's dream come true. They go by the name of Weddings Romantique, but you'll be calling them a lifesaver if you happen to be planning a wedding in the Caribbean, the Bahamas, or in sunny Mexico. Because not only will they make sure your day goes off without a hitch, but they'll also make sure it's pretty as a picture too. Consider them the fairy...
Spring is, hands down, my most favorite season. Because really, what could be better than flowers a-blooming, blue skies shining and weddings...lots and lots of weddings! And in this blogger's eyes, springtime "I do's" equal pretty, pretty pastels. So, when I saw the gorgeous, garden-inspired palette of bridesmaids dresses from Donna Morgan offered by Weddington Way, it was a...
