Few weddings stop me dead in my tracks but this one has reduced my brain to producing only short phrases like the colors: wildly vibrant, the Bride: insanely adorable, and the whole event: what dreamy Mcdreams are made of. The longer version tells the tail of a crazy talented group of vendors like Events of Love and Splendor, Heavenly Blooms...
There are a few things in this life that I'm passionate about but I have to admit that food & design rank amongst the top. And when you combine the two? Well it's simply sensory overload in my eyes. We recently had the opportunity to get Behind the Scenes with the stunning LA pastry shop and restaurant, Bottega Louie, and I've barely been able to contain my excitement since. Photographed by the crazy talented...
Truth be told, us Boston girls have been chomping at the bit for Spring. Enough of this cold, grey weather, we're ready to don our prettiest maxi skirts and wiggle our toes into gilded sandals for some much needed Vitamin D. And what better way to celebrate than with a good old Pinterest contest. SMP Living is welcoming all things Spring with a...
Have you ever been to Bridal Veil Lakes? I never have, but I feel like I've been to this land where pretty is ever-present thanks to You Look Nice Today Photography. Their images have transported me from my little desk to this gorgeous lakeside wedding, and I couldn't be happier. I can imagine I'm sitting in that perfect light, watching that adorable couple tie the knot. And it's a fabulous way to spend a Thursday...
I'd be willing to bet my bottom dollar that this wedding will become a new all-time fave. Why? Because when you mix the California coast with a modern pink party, you know you're in for a serious treat. Sweet Emilia Jane helped this style-savvy bride plan the blueprints for the day (which included a whole lot of ombre, a bit of chevron plus a 1,000 paper cranes!) and...
Our Behind the Blog collection is bar none my favorite series we've ever done on SMP. As bloggers ourselves, we spend large amounts of our day alone with nothing more than our thoughts and our trusty computers. So finding kinship in other like-minded bloggers has been sort of like a breath of fresh Spring air...filled with soul and style and more inspiration than we could ever imagine. So when the adorable Leah...
"A contemporary wedding with touches of old world glamour." Nine words spoken by one VERY beautiful bride that sent a serious shiver up my wedding lovin' spine. Because if there is anything that can elicit a feeling of pure joy in my heart, it's that exact combination. (Seriously.) Add in a stunning gown by Rene Salud, vintage cars and gorgeous images of the day captured by ...
I've spent years now pouring over weddings. Gorgeous, take-your-breath away affairs that leave you speechless. But I can honestly say this one is in a league of its own. It's spectacular, and with the lovely Lyndsey of Lyndsey Hamilton Events behind the design and seriously talented Docuvitae snapping up the most timelessly perfect images I've ever laid eyes on, I suppose I shouldn't be...
If you ask me, there's simply no sweeter, or more memorable, way to make your first official exit as Mr. + Mrs. than with a sparkler send off. After a day filled to the brim with personal touches and gorgeous details, this special farewell is icing on the wedding-planning cake and the perfect way for you and your guests to celebrate your newlywed status! And when it comes to making sure you're all set for your sparkly adieu, look no further than ...
Is it awkward that I want to call these two cuties up? Probably a little, but I seriously can't help myself. Because with just one look at their seriously stylish wedding snapped up by Matushek Photography I can just tell they might be the coolest people ever. Or at least the most adorable. Let's just say if their wedding was a reflection of them as a couple, I want to be their best friend.
Bridesmaids in boots, mason jars and darling DIY details. Three thing I love to see at any wedding. So, when Jamie Dawn Photography sent along this pretty little Ontario soiree, it was like the equivalent to Christmas morning. One in which I get to dive into an entire gallery of rustic meets uber-chic details, all styled by the gorgeous bride and groom, plus awesome friends and family. It's a labor of love that turned...
I just love it when a bride and groom describe their wedding day as the best day of their lives. It just makes me happy. And when that "best day" takes place in the tropical paradise otherwise known as Bali, it's easy to understand why. Because what brings more joy than an saying "I do" amongst towering palm trees, hanging lanterns and fifty of your closest friends and family? Yep... absolutely nothing. See every last moment captured by ...
Infusing rustic, natural details into a modern meets glamorous affair can prove difficult for some, but not for these two lovelies. Nope, with the help of Monarch Planning and Weddings in Bloom, they turned The Grove Houston into a succulent-filled glam fest, complete with pink and gray accents...
The Boston Public Library might just be the most romantic place in the world to get married. Either that or every bride and groom who ties the knot there really knows a thing or two about romance. That's because every single wedding we see from this pretty little locale hits it right out of the park in the love department with thoughtful details, gorgeous stylings and more than their fair share of meaningful moments. And this...
I have a thing for al fresco affairs. And by a thing, I mean I have a full on obsession with each and every twinkling light and seat at the seemingly never-ending banquet table. It's the conversations I can imagine the guests having, that extra glass of wine poured - all while the stars shine down on you. Al fresco equals the most dreamy of nights to me, so hosting such an affair in Savannah (the capital of charming) could just put me over the edge. But it's an edge I'll gladly go over.
A little trip to New York's Hudson Valley this morning is going to make today your favorite day this week. With Ulysses Photography's images to guide us, we're visiting a wedding that has knocked my socks off, and is sure to do the same to yours. It's all gorgeous bride here, stunning flowers there, magic absolutely everywhere. And just when you need more...
Nothing gets me excited for spring quite like a gorgeous pop of color. And this Austin affair has plenty to go around with the happiest hues of navy, purple and pink infused from start to finish. Add in an al fresco dinner party with the most heartfelt "I dos," and you've got a recipe for the prettiest watercolor-inspired wedding around. Taylor Lord Photography sent us...
When one of your favorite NYC pastimes is bopping around the West Village with your honey, choosing that exact location for your e-session is kind of a no-brainer, don't you think? Which is why it makes complete sense that these two sweeties decided on doing just that... celebrating their upcoming nuptials at some of their fave locales with the amazing Brklyn View Photography on hand to snap up all of the pretty. Oh, and they even...
Sometimes a smile says it all. And this Bride's smile says she feels like the luckiest girl in the world. Lucky that she gets to marry the boy of her dreams surrounded by the people she loves most, and do so in serious style. When you start scrolling through the gorgeous images from Gina Leigh Photography, It's safe to say she has every right to feel that way.
