Power combo of the day? Romance and whimsy. Together these two gems are making some serious waves in an Ontario wedding that will, put simply, take your breath away. I'm talking pretty pink hues, jaw-droppingly gorgeous florals from Village Vines Florists and a tented reception that is the epitome of awesome. See it all (plus a seriously stunning ...
Pretty little affairs like this are exactly the reason I love farm weddings. Why I go a little crazy for a big, red barn and rustic meets romantic details every which way you turn. Maybe it's the Montana girl in me... or maybe it's just because this is a day that is just soooo darn pretty. Either way, you can guarantee I'll be spending every last spare second of my Friday swooning over all of the beautiful details captured by ...
This wedding from M and J Photography has 'cool' written all over it. The effortlessly beautiful Bride with her fuchsia lip that contrasts perfectly against the deep blue Aegean and bridesmaids dresses from Twobirds Bridesmaid. The groom with his dark locks and navy blue gingham shirt. And how about the absolutely serene setting?! It's a wedding I want to live in over and over again and I'm going to...
This is a wedding that was made for swooning; an al fresco gem that you just can't take your eyes off of. It's classic stylings planned to perfection by Jessica Brightwell meets lush blooms from Verbena Floral Design meets romantic everything, and it was all captured perfectly by Caroline Joy Photography. In other...
Adorable is the first word that comes to mind when describing these two Maine sweeties, but honestly? It's an adjective that doesn't even do them justice. Because when you combine the cutest "how we met story" ever with a wedding as amazingly beautiful as this classic meets romantic affair, this sweet twosome is more than adorable... they're awesome and then some. Add in a bundle of some of Maine's finest vendors (think ...
We like to toast to things around these parts - we'll raise a glass to a gorgeous wedding without a second thought. So as we started to ponder which delicious cocktail we should mix up to send our office off into the weekend, we of course headed straight to our galleries. Which led us to ...
To say I'm obsessed with this wedding might be the understatement of the century. The feeling I get when I look through Perry Vaile Photography's gorgeous images is akin to the feeling I had on my own wedding day. Giddy, butterflies in the stomach, smile reaching from ear to ear, happiest day ever kind of feeling. The cotton fields, the tent, the rustic charm...
Up until I was 12 years of age I survived solely on white food. And by white food I mean chicken fingers, noodles (hold the sauce) and plain rice. Truly. How I didn't perish from scurvy is beyond me. But I swear, Brown Eyed Baker's grean bean casserole is one that even my 12 year old self would have devoured. Bonus? They taste like you slaved over the stove for days, but they're actually...
Ever since I saw the first Hunger Games movie I've literally been counting down to the next. Yep, I'm one of those. And while the wait felt like an eternity, I'm happy to say Catching Fire is now at a theater near you. So being the wedding bloggers we are, we decided to celebrate the best way we know how. A Hunger Games-inspired shoot, of course. Crafted by the likes of ...
We are sending you off into the weekend with a soiree so sweet, I can barely hold in my squeals. Captured by Angela Newton Roy in a way that just makes me want to kiss this screen, it's the kind of wedding that will inspire and then some. Romantic, darling, and filled with pretty blooms by Floral Cottage - it doesn't get any better than this lovelies. ...
So, as you may or may not know, we recently launched our second SMP Fashion & Beauty magazine, and it was pretty darn lovely if we do say so ourselves. But, it did leave me craving baubles like nobody's business, so I decide to round some of my favorite accessory moments on SMP. Because who doesn't love a little bling-browsing during their workday? I certainly do. So sit back, enjoy and prepared to be...
Is there really anything better, than warm, straight from the oven apple pie with a big ole dollop of ice cream on top? If you said, yes, I'm seriously questioning your judgement. Well, to each their own. For me, the topper to the perfect Thanksgiving is a slice of this little dream boat, which if you ask me, is the best one around. [dotted] Photography:...
If ever there was a signature pie for Thanksgiving, I'm pretty sure the Pumpkin Pie would be it. I have no idea what it is about this pie - maybe the cinnamon and clove flavors, maybe the rich color, maybe just the fact that I've only ever seen a pumpkin pie served at Thanksgiving - but this pie, is the one pie that no Thanksgiving table should be with out. And this recipe is the bomb dot com. We ever so slightly adapted it from...
Destination weddings are pretty amazing just in their own right, but when you throw in the fabulous One and Only Paris Photography and the world's most romantic city (Paris, of course), it takes it to entirely new level of awesome. This, lovelies, is a wedding that seriously bursts with romance, from the stunning bride and groom (she's seriously rockin' that...
Erich McVey has this way. This way of capturing moments that make my heart flutter and my day stop. So when he gets behind the camera to capture a wedding that is this special, this stylish, this all around fabulous - magic happens. The kind of magic where every image deserves a virtual round of applause, making it a no brainer for our latest ...
Allow me to introduce you to Erin of Foret Design. Because this girl? Well, you really need to know her. Not only is she as sweet as pie, she also happens to be the genius behind this incredible, show-stopping, over-the-top centerpiece that graced our Thanksgiving table. And guess what?! She's breaking it all down for each and everyone of...
You might have heard that we're hosting a little giveaway shindig here on SMP. A Shutterfly giveaway, to be specific. Last week we debuted their sparkling holiday gift guide, and the photo goodies they've got for everyone on your list. But it gets even better. Because they're giving one lucky duck the ultimate grand prize that's simply too good to miss!
So here's the nitty...
If you're feeling fancy this Thanksgiving, you should consider impressing your guests with these mini bread wreaths (hint: it's much easier than you'd think!) The best part? You could make these tonight, freeze them for the next week and pop em in the oven day of. Move over dinner rolls, there's a new player in town! [dotted] Photography:...
Two ceremonies means double the fashion, double the flowers, double the love. And it's pretty amazing. I love this couple for introducing the idea to me, and I love Keely Thorne Events for coordinating the whole beautiful day. Captured by Nancy Aidee Photography, the wedding was worthy of two parties and...
Cranberry sauce, much like my beloved mashed potatoes, is one of those Thanksgiving staples that can completely make or break the meal. A good cranberry sauce is absolutely essential, but who has the time for elaborate over-the-top homemade versions? We know how easy it is to grab a can and run with it, but I swear we have something that's ALMOST as simple and FAR more delicious. And you know...
