I love proposals... and I know I am not alone. Because even though weddings are beyond amazing (but of course), the proposal is where it all starts. That brief moment where time stands still and your heart pounds louder than never before. And when that fabulous moment is captured on film, like this beautiful proposal from Tamika Lee Photography? Even better. Because that means we have one devastatingly gorgeous memory after...
It's Friday, so I'm thinking you have a few things on your to-do list you can push aside to free up some time to really soak in this next little number from GreenAutumn Photography. I'll wait as you move "devour every image of pretty in this gallery of gorgeous" to the tippy top. All set? Fabulous. Because I simply must say every.single.image of this DIY...
Oh, Winter. You are one of my all-time favorite seasons. Snow-covered streets, hot cocoa sippin', cozy nights curled up next to the fireplace... you're downright magical. Which is why I happen to be oh-so-obessed with this engagement session captured by Becca Heuer Photography, which is like the perfect combo of breathtaking wintery goodness and a duo who could not be more in love. (They're adorable.)...
Okay, the first DIY (actually all of the DIY's) for today's celebration is about as easy as boiling water. We love a good DIY but we aren't huge fans of overly complicated, glue gun burn inducing projects. So today, we're keeping these short and sweet. Bottom line? With a little tape and a little spray paint, we turned these simple Martini glasses into something cocktail dreams are made of... 12" strip...
There are some couples that grace the pages of SMP I feel like I know after just a peek of their wedding. Because they seem to just ooze style and their wedding is packed to the gills with personality. This is just such a wedding, and the two lovebirds gracing the gorgeous images from Jennifer Crenshaw Photography are just such a couple. It only takes a few clicks through this...
There's just something about a Martha's Vineyard wedding that can't be replicated elsewhere. Maybe it has a little something to do with the breathtaking scenery and beautiful traditions steeped into the island's history... the exact something that drew these two sweeties to Edgartown to host their nautical-inspired soiree. Styled to perfection by Desiree Spinner Events and featuring beautiful blooms from ...
I don't have many regrets about the day I said I do to my now hubby, but after seeing this day-after session from Stephanie Hicks Photography, I am pretty darn bummed I didn't think to do the same. I mean, whats better than slipping on that dress again and having such a perfect excuse to kiss your newly minted hubby? I can't think of much, and from the looks of this...
This bride lives and breathes Manhattan every day, so for her most special day, she wanted something a little more organic. Something fresh and alive. She got just that. With a floral design that almost lives and a venue so perfectly natural, the day was absolutely gorgeous, especially when offset by the almost architectural Peter Langner gown. Captured by Erik Ekroth, it's a wedding...
I've forever been a fan of The Great Gatsby, and am shamelessly counting down the days until the big screen movie next month. Leo DiCaprio, anyone?! But in the meantime, I've directed all my attention to this perfectly styled shoot that evokes every ounce of that Gatsby glam. With one crazy talented crew including Jubilee Events, The White Dress by the Shore and ...
We are turning the volume up seriously loud on Style Me Pretty Living today. Like neon loud. Because as we were working on our latest and greatest Party Theme idea, we realized that our Neon celebration was so stinking adorable, with DIY for days, that we had to spend a whole day devouring the pretty. And I'm willing to bet that by the day's end, even the most doubtful readers will be turned into official neon groupies. So first up, the inspiration that started it all... Coming up next we...
This morning's dose of sweetness comes to us via the lens of the oh-so-talented Amalie Orrange Photography, and for that I couldn't be more grateful. Because their images are not only beautiful, but they also tell a story of two people, two families coming together all because a little love was sprinkled on them. Surrounded by the most precious of details and the most stunning of ranch settings at ...
It doesn't get much better than a beautiful NYC affair, don't you agree, lovelies? Especially when that beautiful affair is filled to the brim with seriously chic details, uber-happy faces and a stunning reception held at Eleven Madison Park. That's a day that is worthy of a swoon or two (or three), so we're considering ourselves lucky that this little beauty captured by...
There is a little spot in Nashville where the prettiest of pretty weddings are produced and it goes by the name of Historic Cedarwood. It's a place where vintage details run a plenty and everything is designed in house – meaning the gorgeous florals, the ceremony by candlelight, those tablescapes dripping in lace – all those details crafted at the hands of ...
Just the mere mention of the words "California wine country" and your mind automatically drifts to thoughts of drop-dead gorgeous scenery and cozy moments sipping on the world's most amazing wine. You just can't help it. And when you add the word "wedding" to the mix, well, that's an entirely new level of daydreaming. Especially when that wedding is an intimate meets rustic soiree held at the breathtaking Murrieta's Well Winery and...
With all the fashion, food, home, travel and pretty parties my heart so desires, SMP Living was bound to become my virtual bestie. And since its official launch just a few months ago, this mecca of fabulous features has lived up to its promise in every way possible. Whether it's taking a home tour through a modern French apartment, or discovering the...
I heart this post. Big time. Because not only are we sharing three super cute ways to decorate your desk, we also happen to be giving away one of our complete designs! Full GIVEAWAY details below. So the back story is this. At our SMP headquarters we have 3 white parsons desks that line a single wall. And have nothing but a pretty yellow lamp on each of them. It's streamlined and clean and modern. But, lacks any and all...
It may rhyme with another holiday but Ballantyne Hotel & Spa was made for a New Year's Eve wedding. Or at least, this NYE wedding. The soft grays and sparkly silvers, the campy-chic hats and tiaras, the lush florals and the faux NYE ball... made for this fabulous venue. And of course, add Steve Michael of Kristin Vining Photography into the equation, and it's all...
I always get really, really excited when I see a Jemma Keech feature. Her photos are the stuff that turns a field into a masterpiece, a wedding gown into pure art and all while letting the love of a couple truly shine through. Frolicking in a sea of lavender surely doesn't hurt either. Have a look at the full portrait session captured impeccably by Jemma...
We recently shared some of our personal spring must-haves, and kind of can't get enough of the whole idea. Being nosey by nature, we thought it'd be fun to take a peek at a few things that our favourite ladies in the fashion world are coveting this season. Over the next little while we'll be showcasing some of the prettiest of the pretty spring fashion round ups, as curated by some of the top names...
When a wedding is this beautiful, you have to stop and stay awhile. Or more accurately, stop and stare awhile. Because days like this? They are sooo chock-full of beautiful details and sooo filled with magical moments, you need more than just a few minutes to soak it all in. From the breathtaking Stoneridge Estate setting to the beautiful blooms from ...
