When a puppy in a bowtie and a gorgeous view of the New York City skyline are trumped by a wedding, it's good. So, so good. And with Ulysses Photography behind the lens, it's like we were there experiencing every bit of the romance and beauty. So a BIG thank you to Ulysses Photography for letting us tag along with a gallery of gorgeous images.

Some days I still can't believe it's my job to write about the prettiest weddings on the planet. Weddings so pretty, they could bring a tear to virtually any eye staring back across the screen. They're weddings just like this Palos Verdes stunner, that simply put, is the total package. And while there's no doubt you'll fall in love with the full gallery of...
There are two things that never fail to capture my attention: delicious food and bald babies. And this Easter themed brunch just so happens to have both en masse. Bunny shaped cinnamon rolls, fruit filled sugar cones and a casual, yet elegant, tablescape in soft hues is all you need to really make this holiday shine. Designed by Julie Blanner and...
I love a hand-crafted wedding, that's a given. And when I read that this sweet-as-can-be couple crafted + created every element of their I do's in 28 days...well, let's just say I was smitten. With the help of family and friends, the bride and groom transformed their private creek venue into a hidden oasis and, lucky for us, it was all captured to perfection by McGowan Images. Take a peek at the full gallery...
I'm always particularly drawn to people who ooze both passion and skill. People like Bryan and Donna, the founders of Barn Light Electric, who strive to bring back a lost art, who work with their hands day in and day out to create unique, gorgeous, timeless light fixtures for you and me and everyone in between to enjoy. Barn Light Electric places a heavy focus on...
Sydney and style? They go together like peanut butter and jelly - or in SMP terms, sparkle and glitter. So when this lovely from Linda Truong Photography landed in our laps, we couldn't wait to peel back the layers of pretty inevitably waiting for us. What we found was not only a stylish soiree, but also one full of heart - complete with pups dressed in custom suits to match the groom, because, hey, they are family too. It's a...
There are few things more fun in the world of wedding planning than outfitting your tiniest attendants for their walk down the aisle! And I've got just the place to make sure all the little ones are dressed to the nines: Beane and Company. Featuring classic styling and tailored, custom pieces for flower girls and ring bearers, Beane and Company has it all from dresses and suits to hair...
You know how to kick your Tuesday off with a bang? Immerse yourself in some Michael Costa captured pretty. That's how. And not just any pretty. A stop-you-in-your-tracks, downright gorgeous, seriously couldn't be more lovelier if it tried pretty. The kind of pretty that Michael always, always delivers and that will leave you spending hours upon hours in the...
No, dear SMPers, this crazy-beautiful British Columbia soiree is not a photo shoot, nor are the bride and groom models, it's simply one of the most breathtaking weddings I've seen to date with a mountain backdrop that still has me weak in the knees. Brought to us by the ever-talented Spread Love Events and Rebecca Amber Photography, the al-fresco fête held at...
A wedding inspired by wildflowers. How amazing does that sound? Well, that's what's coming your way thanks to Sarah Postma Photography this morning, and it is all just as gorgeous as you can imagine. But as beautiful as the blooms may be, it's the heart and soul in the sweet DIY touches found around every turn that will really make your heart melt -...

The smile on the Bride's (beautiful) face says it all - this was truly her best day ever. And we get to spend our morning joining her in the biggest of smiles as we pore through the images of their Sayulita soiree from Joann Arrunda Photography. Those images? They happen to be stunning, by the way. It's a gallery filled with the most perfect details...
So, we're kind of obsessed with Artworks Wedding Cinema and here's why: they're awesome. Awesome in that each and every lovely film they send our way has the power to make us laugh, cry and cheer all in one sitting. Here at SMP, we call that mesmerizing. And this lovely Atlanta affair? It's just what we've come to expect from these masters of cinema, complete with one of the cutest duos you'll ever meet. Hit play and...
Brides in cardigans? They get me every time. Every. Single. Time. As do birdcage veils, gorgeous Watters gowns and smiles that could light up the entire state. So, this beautiful Topsfield bride, well... I basically think she's the greatest. Also the greatest? Her Willowdale Estate wedding, which is seriously bursting with romance from the wintery setting to the sweet...
One look at that lace cake. That's all it takes to fall in love with this wedding from LK Events. And to fall in love with the wedding is to fall in love with the couple, because they are even more perfect than that fab cake. Captured by Becky Hill Photography, the gallery is one that...
Farm weddings are some of my absolute faves. Full of character and charm without any of the fuss, they're the kind of weddings that marry elegance and ease to perfection. So when one such wedding happens to include design and florals by Beehive Events and Jen Fariello working her magic behind the camera, you can pretty much count on something special. There's an entire gallery...
I'm always blown away by how much impact a simple bar cart can have on a space. Not only does it add that instant glam factor, it also invites your guest to sit back, relax, and pour themselves a drink whenever they see fit. Which, lets face it, is always a party plus. Styling a bar cart, on the other hand, can prove to be a bit of a daunting task. Lucky for us, we have the fabulous Aaron Hartselle here today...
I'm totally in-love with this muted, ocean-themed Palm Beach stunner from 13:13 Photography and all of its beautiful details! The gorgeous bride + groom had their coastal celebration at The Sailfish Club and called on the talents of Desiree Dawn Events to create the wedding of their dreams. You won't want to miss this one...
A great photographer can take an already special day and transform it into something magical. Something that completely sucks the viewer in and plops them right down in the middle of the celebration and this is the perfect example of that magic making. From the gorgeous surroundings of Blue Hill at Stone Barns to the wildly pretty florals by...
You can go ahead and add this Villa at San Juan Capistrano wedding to my ever-growing list of reasons I want to live (and plan a vow renewal) in California. Equal parts rustic chic and quirky cool, Tyler Branch Photo captured this pretty little soiree and all of it's fabulous, personal details to perfection.
