The phrase "New England Winter" isn't always followed with terms of endearment. Maybe because it can be a tad long - but, trust me when I say it's a beautiful time of year. There is nothing that beats a blanket of snow, a warm fire and that feeling of coziness - so I absolutely love when Brides out there embrace the prettiness of a New England winter wedding. If you are in the midst of planning such a fête, this shoot from the paper mavens at ...
I'm going bold with this one, but it's only because it's true. This wedding, with its lane of beautiful, blooming trees is superb. One of the most amazing, heaven-on-earth kinds of soirees. Julie Mikos - Photographer captured the stunning day in a way which feels like happiness embodied. Warm, beautiful, and with a gallery of which we just can't get enough....
Can I let you in on a little secret of mine? There are days where I've longed to be a southern belle. Not only do those southern ladies have serious style (not to mention the cutest darn accent) but they can throw a gorgeous wedding like no other. Exhibit A--this Charleston stunner with the prettiest shade of pink set front and center. Luke Wilson Special Events beautifully brought the bride's vision to life, and ...
Ok you guys. Hold the phone. This little girls birthday party was inspired by pink lemonade. I mean, honestly though! Does it get any cuter than that? Styled by A. Dominick Events and captured by Abby Jiu I'm seriously considering throwing my own pink lemonade party. I'm not too old for that, right? (On second thought, don't answer that)! ...
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Photo shoots make my heart sing. There's just something about a group of talented vendors putting their heads together for a day of pretty that never fails to inspire me - and today's gorgeous masterpiece? Pure lovely. From the mint green and peach hues to the breathtaking florals from Windermere Flowers to the real life couple looking adorable as ever, it's just one...
I have this dream of spending every single breakfast, lunch and dinner outside, surrounded by candlelight and warm weather. Basically, I want my every meal to resemble this wedding – an affair full of easy elegance and a fusion of cultural details crafted by Therese Jacinto Design. It's the true definition of alfresco beauty and you can see even more photographed by ...
When Jose sent over these images from his recent trip to Cuba, I told him that they deserved to be in a gallery. We all know Jose Villa thanks to his beloved wedding photographs, though what we don't always get to see, are the images that he captures along the way. The photographs that tell a story beyond white dresses and fairytales and capture life in a slightly different way.
So I don't know about you, but lately I feel like been dying to spend every spare minute pouring over the pages of SMP Living. Don't get me wrong, I can never ever get enough of the world of real weddings, but when it comes to my other loves (fashion, travel, food, and the like), it's really the perfect place to be. And this week has been a pretty darn good one on...
Photographers are a rare breed. They see the world through the lens of a camera, always aware of beautiful shots, stunning vingettes, powerful moments. And if ever there was a photographer whose lens I wish I could peak into, it would be Jose Villa. Because his life - and every nook and cranny within it - has soul. And texture. And a sense of space and life and history. So when he gave us this rare glimpse into his travels to Morocco -...
Weddings at the art gallery tend to lean a little closer to the modern side of the romance spectrum, so when a wedding that leans the other way, with just the right amount of vintage to pop against the clean museum vibe comes along, we swoon. It's the little surprises that get us. The unexpected juxtaposition of a lace veil and the contemporary white walls. The classic chiavari chair in lucite. The extra fluffy, pink bouquets set against a grey backdrop.
There's no denying that the vast majority of us over here at SMP are girly girls at heart. I mean, it's essentially our job to gush over pretty, and I don't believe any of us have ever met a sparkle, a gold bangle or a bauble we don't like. So you can only imagine our reaction to the launch of the oh so glorious JewelMint Collective. What began with...
This next sentence has been uttered from my lips probably a hundred a times at least and always manages to send my husband into fits of worry but here it goes. I call wedding do-over. Because this wedding of adorable blogger Vmac + Cheese is pure genius. A chic penthouse backdrop at The Fairmount Hotel, an intimate gathering with your nearest and dearest and loads of...
A big, huge thank you goes out to Nikki Langmead Photography for sending along this sweet engagement session that truly focuses on what I adore more than anything about sessions such as these - love. Love that seems to seep through each and every image, and that will most definitely give you the warm and fuzzies when flipping through this gallery.
I simply don't know of a bride who doesn't fantasize about her big day looking like it fell straight from the pages of an inspiration shoot - with each detail meticulous thought through and every element styled to perfection. And for you lucky Canadian couples, that dream may be closer to reality than you'd ever imagined with the incredibly talented wedding planners + stylists at Prelude to a Kiss. Around since 2007, this...
Crisp, clean loft weddings get me every.single.time. I just adore them. So this Greenhouse Loft wedding captured by Christy Tyler Photography? SO up my alley. It's understated yet perfectly refined, letting the couple in the middle of it all truly shine. Five Grain Events was on hand to make sure the entire...

Nautical anything pretty much rocks my socks off, but when it's a nautical engagement session or wedding? That's amazing and then some. Take for example this pretty little Seabrook shoot from the always divine Mustard Seed Photography which is ranking high atop my list of favorites with a beyond adorable duo and some serious seafaring fun. I'm talking champagne, cupcakes and sweet navy blue hues, all set against those sunny...

I love First Looks. Love them. So, when I read that this adorable bride and groom opted on a First Look at the high school where they met, I quickly decided that they were awesome. I mean, how amazing is it to spend the morning of your wedding frolicking around the very place you fell in love? Pretty, pretty fabulous. And their wedding? All kinds of crazy gorgeous with the sunniest of yellow hues, a yummy cake from...
