Photography: Gabe Aceves Photography There really aren't words for what our beloved city has been through this week. This horrible event has hit so very close to home, and although we are all safe at this moment, it has shaken us to our core. These are our neighbors, our friends, our friends of friends. And to our fellow Bostonians, we pray that you stay safe and sound and that we can all use this time to pause and really understand the magnitude of...
There are garden parties, and then there are garden parties hosted by Julia Lake Parties, who just so also happens to be the floral-crowned Bride gracing the gorgeous images of Lauren Ross in this I can't believe it's real, wedding. Because this garden party brings such fêtes to an entirely new detail-filled level. With a all white dress code for their guests, handmade floral...
I think it's quite possible that if you looked up dream destination in the dictionary, an image of Haiku Mill would pop into view. And that view would be filled with lush greenery, beautifully aged stone and sparkling chandeliers. That's Maui for ya. Belle Destination Weddings and ...
I had the pleasure of spending a ton of time in Florida as a child, and it's one of those places that I hold dear to my heart. Chock full of fantastic memories, complete with balmy weather and sunshine almost year round, it's one of those spots I'd be happy to return to again and again. And until that moment presents itself once more, I'll soak up the Florida sun through Jeremy Harwell's gorgeous photos. Heading to the Keys yourself...
Emerald is the color of the year, and this wedding blogger couldn't be happier about that. Something about the color is so regal, so fancy, so something. It's just gorgeous. Natalie Franke Photography + elleDesigns saw that and designed a bit of inspiration for you lovely LBBers to fawn over, and I...
We've seen a lot of wonderful weddings come across the pages of SMP, but never one with a story quite as touching as this. A bride, who tore her Achilles' tendon just weeks before the wedding, and her father battling Parkinson's, uncertain if he'd be able to escort his daughter down the aisle. But on that day, time stood still. She was the blushing bride he was her daddy, wheeled down the aisle side-by-side. It's a wedding that captures the love of family through all circumstances, and...
If it isn't obvious (based on the one hundred and four times I've mentioned it thus far), we're kind of spring enthusiasts around here. Though winter has a few perks, we're definitely not sorry to see it out. And in order to do so, one must don the proper attire, am I right? We've taken the time to round up a few fabulous finds that will more than get you through the next few weeks, all in great in style. Because, as they say, April showers bring May flowers and with this ensemble we're more...
In this wedding blogger's opinion, everything is better with a bow on it — from white dresses to invitations, it's all about that extra-special touch. And when it comes finding the perfect ribbons and embellishments, look no further than Midori. With a million and one options for colors, shapes + sizes, and the addition of their brand-new custom printing feature (which I'm seriously swooning over!), it'll be easy as pie...
Working at SMP, you see your fair share of gorgeous weddings. I mean, that's sort of how we roll here in the land of pretty. And even though I have drooled over literally hundreds of big days, there's always a little something special that makes each one completely unique. A little something special that makes my jaw hit the floor in ways it never has before. And today's beautiful Victoria wedding? It's chock-full of love-filled moments, all designed by a bride and groom who couldn't...
It's a well known fact that here at SMP, we love Macy's Wedding Registry. It's our go-to for all things house + home, and it's the perfect spot to find everything you'll need to start your new life together! Outfitting your home...
Love stories are the best. That first meeting, that first date, that first look across across the table when you just know something special is taking place... I could seriously listen to tales of "how we met" all the livelong day. And this dapper duo? Well, their first date story is awesome. An hour turned into ten kind of awesome that most of us only dream about. (Seriously.) And their e-session captured by Studio Finch? Well...
You know how you can tell if your wedding was an absolute success? When you can't name a favorite moment, because every last second was amazing. And this darling bride and groom? Well, they fall right into that category. Two happy-to-be-wed people who loved every gorgeous detail and every beautiful moment of their Auberge Val Carroll wedding. A wedding, I might add, that will blow your mind with all of the pretty. See so...
There is so much I want to say about our beloved city right now. I could go on and on about how its cobblestone streets are the most charming, or how its historic sights can't be matched, or how it's quirky design can't be compared (have you ever tried to navigate this pretty city?) - but the thing I absolutely love most are the people that fill it's gas-lamp lit streets. People like these two cuties captured by ...
When a wedding is this beautifully executed, it's hard not to get lost in all of the pretty. The gorgeous blooms from Cedarwood Weddings, the breathtaking Nashville setting, the amazing details sprinkled throughout... it's mind-blowing. But one read of this lovely bride's heartwarming description and you'll be thinking of one thing and one thing only. Love. The true love between two perfect-for-each-other people and the love a...
Ok, these two? They are adorable. Downright, all-out cute as they come. So it should be no surprise that their detail-filled love fest at Star Hill Ranch was equally fabulous. Because, oh, it was. It's baby's breath and cardigan-wearing maids, it's burlap and flower girls in tutus. It's a Texas beauty through and through captured beautifully by The Bird & The Bear, and...
I feel as though this wedding has danced in the dreams of girls all around the world. It's perfectly fairy-tale like. With the perfect dose of romance and the loveliest splash of pink, all in hosted in a venue, the Cloister, that just oozes fancy - it's a dream, really. But for this Bride and her handsome Groom, that dream was their reality. And thanks to the beautiful images from ...
This wedding gives me a serious case of the warm fuzzies. I can't pinpoint exactly what about it is so special, but in my vast experience as a wedding blogger, I've come to learn that usually means the whole affair is the special part. Everything from the flowers to the setting to the laughter and love is extra heartwarming, especially when captured by m three studio. Molly always knows how to capture the essence of the warm and fuzzies...
The Ace Hotel in Palm Springs is kind of like a blogger haven. It simply oozes that easy breezy, not-trying-too-hard cool factor that you just can't fake. Not having had the opportunity thus far to see it for myself, I'm glad we have talented folks like Anais + Dax who can bring us along virtually.
If there's one thing we can learn from this outdoor affair, it's a lesson in the beauty of natural light. And with every sun-soaked image from Leo Patrone more beautiful than the last, it's pretty much a wedding lover's dream-come-true. But what takes this kind of oh-my-goodness gorgeous to the next level? Honey of a Thousand Flowers' impeccable floral design that's total...
Intimate weddings have a tendency to make me weak in the knees. And when they are held at the uber-gorgeous Soho Beach House and feature strings of cafe lights and a reception that is like the greatest dinner party you've ever seen, that's a weakness that can't even be described in words. Case in point? This beautiful affair captured by ...
