The emphasis on food and family surrounding Thanksgiving is always such a treat. And once it comes to a close, I can't help but feel a little sad. So when Tori Tait suggested throwing a Post-Thanksgiving Pie Party, it was all I could do to not kiss her square on the mouth. Ask your guests to bring over a bottle of wine and any remaining pie, set a table, light a fire, and ensure the holiday lasts just a little while longer.
Lovelies, this is just the beginning. This e-sesh right here? It's the sweet little appetizer to an even sweeter wedding on the pristine beaches of Ocho Rios, coming up this afternoon. Christina McNeill shows us just what a fun-loving couple Kelsey & Cory are and we can't wait to reveal the rest. For now, kick back in this sandy, love-filled gallery!
Trent and Dara of Trent Bailey Photography are like a power couple of style. Whenever they send something our way, it never fails to make jaws drop in the SMP offices - and when they team up with folks like Gabriella New York, That Time Events, ...
Sometimes all you need to kick off the weekend is one serious dose of inspiration. A pretty little party, beautiful blooms, a stunning tablescape... or better yet, all three. Lucky for us, Poppy & Plum Events is here to deliver that exact trifecta of lovely, with a breathtaking garden party-inspired photo shoot that is the epitome of pretty. I'm talking crazy beautiful stylings meets amazing copper accents meets drop-dead...
I'm what some might describe as a holiday junkie. I absolutely cannot get enough, so the minute I put away the turkey on Thanksgiving, my mind starts to wander the next holiday waiting in the wings. Lucky for me, Brooke Schultz Photography is serving up a heaping helping of gorgeous that will help inspire my holiday decorating today, and perhaps will inspire a few lovebirds looking for a few stylish ways to style their...
If you're not the kind of person who gets along with the cold weather so well, this Chicago engagement session on Lake Michigan might just change your mind. The bright wintery whites are enticing, and Alyssa Rosenheck Photography captured them in a way that could make any summer girl trade in her bikini for a pair of snow boots (as long as they come with...
Having grown up just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Canadian border, I spent much of my childhood + teen and early adulthood falling in love with our neighbors to the north. There's just something about the breathtaking Canadian landscape that grabs ahold of your heart the very second you lay your eyes upon its beauty... and never lets go. So to say that this Whistler wedding from Anastasia Chomlack has me all kinds of...
I stand behind 'homemade' weddings 110%. An intimate ceremony beneath your favorite tree in your parents backyard, family recipes, heirloom tablecloths and decor... makes it all the more special. It doesn't take much more than a peek at Elisabeth Carol Photography's images of this day to know that a homemade wedding will touch your heart more than you imagined. See the rest of this beautiful backyard affair...
You know what this Friday needs? Some stunning pink hues, an adorable duo saying "I do" and one seriously cute puppy. Lucky for us, this charming Maryland affair happens to have all three, plus one amazing tented reception and a jaw-droppingly gorgeous setting. It's basically the perfect way to start the weekend, lovelies... and you can see every last heartwarming moment captured by Eli Turner right here in the...
Ahh... the day after Thanksgiving. A time when both our stomachs AND our hearts are filled to the brim with awesome. It's a day when we get to kick back, relax and soak in some of the prettiest weddings you will ever lay your eyes upon; weddings like this darling New Hampshire affair captured by Mary Costa Photography. With its cool fall hues and epically gorgeous ceremony setting, it's like the perfect "extra" dose of...
The thing I love most about a good highlight film is the crescendo of emotions that always leaves me in the happiest tears, usually about 4 minutes into the film. It's magical, I tell you. This film from Ever After has that special moment, but on top of that, it has the most amazing wedding at the center... in a castle... with rhyming toasts. I'm naming this one best ever.

Chances are you're still feeling a little over-stuffed as a result of grandma's famous mashed potatoes and dad's delicious stuffing last night. And I'm assuming that the thought of an over-the-top breakfast is so far from appealing right now. Am I right? Enter: the Charlotte Lane brunch bar cart. Stocked to the brim with fresh juices, berry...
When Alea Lovely and Jill La Fleur sent over this cozy-as-can-be engagement shoot, I think we let out an office-wide gasp. Because no matter how many lovey dovey couples we've seen parade through the webpages of SMP, nothing (and I mean nothing) compares to the pretty we're about to feast our eyes on this fine Black Friday morn'. So snag yourself a plate of those Turkey Day...
It's one of our absolute favorite holidays around these parts and we so hope you are all getting set to enjoy a scrumptious meal with family and loved ones. While the turkey is a roasting and the stuffing is a baking have a look at this gorgeous inspiration crafted by A Vintage Affair, Bare Root Flora and ...
At long last, Thanksgiving is upon us. And though we know it's important to show our gratitude every day of the year, it feels especially special to have a full day dedicated to just that. So thank you, our loyal readers, for being so incredibly wonderful and supportive. We couldn't, shouldn't, wouldn't want to do it without each and every one of you! And to show our thanks, we're doing it the best we know how: with a whole lot of pretty. From...
Just try to look at this adorable shoot from Chanele Rose Flowers & Styling and Jenny Sun Photography and not smile. I'd go as far as to say that it's basically impossible. It's an instant heart warmer, and filled with so much inspiration I don't even know where to start. From the blooms to the bouffants, this gallery is packed to the gills with pretty, and...
I'm a cold weather girl through and through so these frigid temps are like music to my bones, but today's wedding in Turks and Caicos has me wondering if I've got it all backwards. The beach is so beautiful, the colors so vibrant, and the drinks are so deserving of an umbrella that I am craving some sand, some love, and a pretty party planned by the super talented Ever Swoon.
Before we send you off on your Thanksgiving travels (although we'll be posting tomorrow!), we thought we'd leave you with a wedding that will stick with you for awhile. Styled to perfection by the super talented Tori of Sitting in a Tree with the fabulous Smog Shoppe setting the stage, it'll will be hard to shake this beauty from your brain (and you won't want to).
There are two things that I could not, would not, ever want to live without: good food, and fabulous friends. And when you pair the two together, in a wide open field in the middle of fall no less, you're basically speaking my love language. Beautifully designed by Celeste Greene and exquisitely captured by Brumley and Wells, this is one event that you may want to bookmark for future reference.
Tuscan weddings can be hard. The countryside is so beautiful in that part of Italy (ahem, ALL of Italy) so it really is a task to build a beautiful wedding that stands next to the stunning country, both complementing it and living up to it. But as we see with this fairy tale soiree, if you've got Efffetti Wedding Planners & Events in Tuscany on your side, you have nothing to worry about.
