The Parker Palm Springs is high on the list of places I find myself day dreaming about on dreary New England days. I've had the pleasure of getting aquainted with this stunning space through the pages of SMP, and even though I've never been - I'm pretty obsessed. It has style for miles, and the couples it attracts? The most stylish in the land. Top all that off with design from ...
Find me a bride or groom who doesn't love coming home to packages piled high at their door. Whether the boxes are brimming with wedding gifts or DIY essentials, it's like Christmas morning every single day. And in our crazy-hectic lives, the only thing better than getting pretty goodies delivered daily would be selecting when and where they are delivered. So my dears, let me introduce you to...
Lesson of the day: if you happen to own an adorable dog named "Newton" and you also happen to know how to throw a crazy gorgeous wedding, I will desperately want to be your best friend. And I mean desperately. Because when I laid my eyes on these amazing images by Bloom Photography and read the bride's beautiful description, I instantly began dreaming of shopping trips and happy hours with my new besties. Bride and groom crush?
There is absolutely no doubt that Salvage One is one amazing place to say I do. So amazing in fact, this gorgeous Bride knew even before she had a ring on her finger that it was THE place to tie the knot. Lucky for her, her amazing Groom not only popped the question, but he also booked the venue before getting down on one knee. How much do you love that? Totally a keeper. ...
Barbados is pretty much like the land of fabulous. A place where sunny blue skies meet even bluer ocean waves and dream weddings happen every minute of every day. So, jetting off to this gorgeous locale to say I do? A serious no-brainer.

When a group of uber-talented Texas vendors join forces to create an edgy meets vintage Dallas photo session, gorgeous things can happen. Gorgeous things like a door turned table lined with stunning red florals from We + You, yummy treats from CakeWalk Bake Shop and dazzling gold accents styled by Off Your Shoulders.
In my years pouring over the pretty at SMP, I've seen a lot of amazing venues, but this couple's summer camp wedding at Camp Mataponi just might take the cake for the most adorable. It was a weekend filled of summer fun for all their guests, topped off with the sweetest of ceremonies for the two lovebirds. Lucky for all of us, we get to see all the fun unfold through the pretty-as-can-be-pictures from ...
You know what I love? This wedding. This wedding with all of its crazy beautiful details and fun-filled memories. From the gorgeous State Botanical Gardens ceremony to the laid back, yet elegant reception at the uber-hip Transmetropolitan Restaurant to every last moment in between captured by Kathryn Kimmel Photography, I am head over heels for this sweet, sweet soiree.
What do you get when you combine glittery gold, confetti, champagne bubbles, chevron and pretty pinks?! Well, my friends, you get happy SMP bloggers and one gorgeous Kate Spade-inspired invitation suite from the oh-so-talented Nichole of Coral Pheasant Stationery + Design. She stuns me every time with her designs that are always so beautifully assembled, and this one? Right up there...
What started as a casual run-in at the gym turned into a love story as timeless as this Southern soiree. It's the kind of sweet garden affair that makes us believe fairytales come true, and it as everything to do with the spot-on planning by Luke Wilson Special Events. Add in the prettiest of details plus a dress so dreamy it could bring you to tears, and we're completely and totally hooked. And as if the slew of stunning images...
Ah, Italy. The place where time stands still. Where it's perfectly acceptable to drink a glass of brunello with breakfast, and an entire bottle to yourself at dinner - and not a single soul will give you even the slightest amount of side eye. Between gorgeous beachy views and sun-soaked rolling hills, there isn't a place in the world I'd rather be. Captured by Ely Fair Photography, let's take a moment to soak in this virtual vacation, shall...
13:13 Photography? They truly never disappoint. Whenever I spot their name floating in my inbox, I know I am in for the prettiest of treats. So I was just a tad bit excited when I stumbled on this beauty at The National Hotel. Classic with the prettiest of beachy twists, it's the type of fête that makes my heart pitter patter faster than I ever thought possible. I couldn't...
I think we can all agree - high school sweethearts are the cutest. And high school sweethearts that have been together for eleven years and were engaged on a romantic trip to Italy, like these two lovebirds? Well, that's a special kind of cuteness that we just love to see. So, to celebrate these two sweeties and their serious adorability, we're spending our Thursday basking in their breathtaking e-session captured by Cly Creation. And...
For as beautiful as Napa Valley is on its own, this wedding from James Moes Photography blows that beauty right out of the water. Woven into the backdrop of The French Laundry, is a day awash in pure romance. From green and lavender blooms by Flowers by Ivy to chandeliers strung from the treetops, get all the gorgeous...
Looking through the images of this Los Angeles wedding by onelove photography is to catch a glimpse of a couple that knows how to have fun; capital F kind of fun. A couple (who just so happen to be Broadway star Leslie Odom Jr. and actress Nicolette Robinson) that laughs whole heartedly and often and a couple with some killer dance moves – that's this duo in a nutshell and their wedding day is proof that laughter and love are at...
Nothing gets our giddies going like a wedding planned by Joy de Vivre. And while we heart just about any event she touches, this Solvang soiree sets the bar even higher for vineyard weddings done right. The stunning photos come as no surprise with Michael & Anna Costa snapping up the pretty, and you must, must, must take time to...
We run the gamut of style at SMP. There are some of us who swoon over whimsical fêtes. Others that get giddy over a rustic soiree. I personally love the classic weddings with a bit of a twist. But we all come together for one thing - an al fresco wedding in the warm sunshine, with a gorgeous tablescape, under twinkling lights. So when we see such a scene captured by Angie Silvy Photography and planned by ...
Let's be real, when it comes to awesome weddings the only rule is that there are none. So when these California cuties set out to plan their San Clemente nuptials, the first and foremost priority was fun. Layered with personality and sprinkled with spunk, the wedding that resulted was the kind we so wish we could attend. (Because any wedding with a main course taco-bar and an impromptu slushie stop is A-okay in my book!) Kick back and get comfy in the full gallery of ...
This is a recipe for far more than a dose of serious deliciousness... it's a recipe for an aroma so good it will send your loved ones into a full blown tummy rumbling frenzy. I for one think sauteed onion and garlic is one of the best smells on the planet (right up there with rain showers and fresh cut grass) but the fact that it's so completely easy is the absolute icing on the cake. A good marinara recipe...
