Every year my dad makes our Thanksgiving bird. Actually he usually makes the whole spread. And his turkey is always amazing. But I'm 100% convinced that this one would give it a real run for it's money. This turkey is perfection. Crispy, buttery skin. Super moist meat. Flavor and...
There's no question Plum Pretty Sugar is a SMP favorite. I can't tell you how many brides we've seen sporting their gorgeous getting ready wear, and for good reason. They've got everything you need for pre-wedding and beyond. We teamed up with our friends at Plum Pretty Sugar for this year's ...
This wedding from Yvonne Wong Photography defines pretty. With its perfectly curated details by the talented Alicia K Designs, every corner you turn in this gallery of gorgeous images will take your breath away. It's overflowing with everything I love so much about weddings, and...
You may or may not have heard, but we're sort of obsessed with bridal fashion here at SMP. So obsessed, in fact, that when a pretty little inspiration shoot like this comes our way, we basically trip over our office chairs in a mad rush to hit "publish." It's just that there's really nothing prettier than a bride all decked out in her wedding day lovelies, and when that sweeter than sweet attire happens to include...
Love stories make me happy. And this darling duo? Well, they most definitely have one of those heartwarming tales that seriously belongs in a movie. I'm talking a few missed opportunities, a fateful meeting and a happily ever after that culminated in a drop-dead gorgeous affair filled to the brim with pretty. It's a true love fairytale with beautiful blooms, soft pink hues and a whole lot of amazing moments captured by...
Giddy is the only word that can possibly describe how I felt when I opened up these images from Kristin La Voie Photography. As I went through each picture, I noticed an uncontrollable goofy grin that seemed to form on my face, and it's a grin that will be sticking around for awhile - because I won't be able to pull myself from this gallery anytime...
Day after sessions like this one from Civicphotos make me wish I grabbed my hubby the day after I say I do, and snapped up some pictures as pretty as these. With the Chateau Cocomar setting the stage and the love these two obviously share, the images are basically just as pretty as they get.
A week-long celebration in paradise with your closest friends and family is everything a destination wedding should be. Laid back, totally elegant and chock-full of pretty? This is that wedding. A crazy gorgeous affair that is as beautiful as it is heartwarming. And when you dive into every last mesmerizing moment captured by Andria Lindquist, I promise you'll want to spend the rest of your day devouring the pretty. ...
I'm just going to start off this post by telling you to read the darling bride's description of the day, because she and her dapper hubby? Seriously awesome. The kind of awesome that plans a budget-friendly English garden-inspired wedding, complete with crazy gorgeous DIY details, vintage stylings and a TARDIS. Yep, you heard me. They had a TARDIS. And every ounce of my being wants to be their bestie just for that very reason. Oh, and the gallery captured by...
I know we are approaching the holiday season, otherwise known as most wonderful time of the year, but this stunning seaside soiree from Zev Fisher Photography at the Kittansett Club has me longing for New England summers already. With its perfectly preppy style and stunning coastal views, I'd go as far as to say, this...
Today, we're getting a look not only at the love beyond the lens, but behind it as well! And it's no wonder that we're feeling a warmth radiating from this beautiful Casa Real soiree. Pair a sweet-as-ever couple with the rockstar hubs and wife team, Evonne & Darren of U Me Us Studios, and well, you've got yourself a...
I'm not an over-the-top kind of girl. I like simple and modern and chic. Elegance, but not overdone. So when Lauren Kinsey sent over this seaside beauty that checked every love off my list, it quickly became my favorite nautical wedding Off. All. Time. It graced the pages of our...
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I literally start thinking about it in August... the turkey and stuffing, the mashed potatoes and perfect gravy. But mostly I love it because for our family, it's a day where the world stands still. While football plays in the backround, a fire keeps us all happy and we drink and laugh and cook and eat until we couldn't bear a single minute more. And this year, we wanted to celebrate just that. The simplicity of this beautiful, craveable holiday. THE...
I could give you a million and one reasons why I love, love, LOVE this engagement session by Becca Borge - the style, the images, the setting - it's all insane. But do you want to know the main reason I am head over heels in love with every image in this gallery? It's the way he looks at her. I just couldn't love that more.
Judy Pak is quickly becoming one of my favorite people in the world to spend the day with. Not literally, of course. I mean, she lives all the way across the country and even though I imagine we would be besties, we've never actually met in person. It's just that one look at her gorgeous imagery and, I swear to you, my entire day brightens. It's like every photo she snaps up has the power to fill your every second with pretty...
This engagement session is amazing. Amazing in ways you sort of didn't even know could exist. Think one ethereal-like image after another of two seriously stunning sweeties, all set against a breathtaking Singapore backdrop and captured by the oh-so-talented Elikon Picture. And when I tell you that the lovely bride-to-be crafted her own dresses for every last second of pretty, you'll be beside yourselves. See all of the lovely...
Tori of Sitting in a Tree is the reigning Queen of Bohem. She whips up these affairs that are such a fabulous mix of unique, fun details, layers of color and boho elegance woven throughout. And we eat it up every time. For this affair, her design musings have met their match in Santa Ynez with photography by Studio Castillero. It's a scene of love-filled "I Do's" and...
I have a slight addiction to stationery. I physically cannot pass by a card store without stopping in, just for a peek (am I totally weird? Surely there's someone who understands!) I often find myself splurging on my faves. And after recently being introduced to Ferme à Papier, I'm not sure I'll be able to control myself. We recently caught up with the whizz...
When it comes to wedding planning, talking finances can be tricky territory. Knowing who pays for what and how to keep track of it all...well, it's enough to make any bride's head spin. Luckily we've got Lizzie Post (great-granddaughter to the Emily Post) here today to share a little wedding etiquette 101. She's teamed up with Bank of America, and is dishing her etiquette approach for the modern bride and groom. Style Me...
Before our Thanksgiving festivities begin tomorrow, we wanted to share a really beautiful DIY project that we thought would make for the perfect backdrop for your own celebration. It also makes for a lovely hostess gift. Our in-house artist, Jess, hand painted this incredible "Gratitude Changes Everything" print for us. She then gussied it up with a bit of gold leaf paint and a simple white frame. She made it so...
