I profess my love for timeless elegance quite a bit on the pages on SMP, but can you really blame me when weddings like this one from Melani Lust fall perfectly in that category? I don't think you can. After one look at this (beautiful) Bride's Romona Keveza gown or their reception overflowing with perfectly timeless florals from ...
I've never met Andi Mans in person, but I am fairly certain we would be besties. That's a knowledge that comes with the years and years I have spent getting to know her and her amazing work, and loving every last second of her heart and creativity. In other words, she's a lady that really understands (and loves) weddings... and this pretty party she captured on her very own birthday is a prime example of just how awesome her...
This is the kind of wedding you just can't help but fall in love with; a wedding where modern details mix and mingle with a laid back meets elegant vibe and mojitos are served in place of cake. It's the kind of day where every last person is having the time of their life, and celebrating love is the most magical thing you'll do all week. I adore weddings like this... and the gallery? Sooo pretty. ...
Though most people would agree that the kitchen is the heart of the home, I tend to think the living room is where it's at. I would willingly admit to being a comfort seeker at the best of times, and there's something about a plush couch and a cozy throw that can't be beat. And making the most out of ones...
If a bounty of bridesmaids in a pretty, neutral palette, groomsmen in pink bow ties and festivities surrounded by the beauty of San Ysidro Ranch doesn't peak your interest then surely church pews from Found Rentals decorating the ceremony spot will do the trick. This is one incredibly good looking wedding crafted by ...
Call me a major Christmas nerd, but ALL year long I look forward to my holiday shopping. Seriously, it's the best. The only problem I seem to run into year after year? Finding gifts that break the generic, store bought mold. You know, those gifts that could bring a tear to an eye - the ones that could easily become treasures. But that's where Shutterfly comes in. They've got something special for everyone on your list that can be...
The dining room will forever hold a special place in my heart. It's where families gather for Sunday dinner, stories are shared and wine is guzzled sipped until the wee hours. Though any ol' dining room will typically do, these events are made infinitely sweeter when surrounded by pretty. And the sweet girls at Urban Grace are no stranger to pretty. SMP: Your favourite dining room you’ve ever designed? UG: I have always loved...
This Hawaii wedding is perfect for a day like today. First of all, it's celebrating the love between a beautiful bride and her Air Force groom. (Happy Veteran's Day you lovebirds.) But secondly, it's the perfect hit of beach you might just need to jumpstart your day. Anna Kim Photography did a beautiful job capturing every detail, and...
Yes, I may be an interior designer myself. Yes, I may have designed a kitchen or two in my time. But I will readily admit that I would have no qualms hiring Urban Grace to renovate any and all kitchens in my future. I adore everything this design team churns out, but their kitchens hold a special kind of magic. SMP: What’s the best thing you could...
Inspired by the Italian countryside, and the idea of a beautiful dinner al fresco, this group of talents set out to recreate that magic and showcase just the right details for incorporating the same look and feel into your wedding day. Those talents include picture perfect images by Ashley Kelemen and design and florals by one of our favorites Sweet Emilia Jane. It's dusty...
With a romance that started at sixteen and eventually led them to a walk down the aisle, this new hubby & wife team couldn't be more adorable if they tried. And their Hunter Valley wedding captured by Kellee Walsh is a lovely look into their personalities. It all took place in the most stunning of settings, and every moment of their gorgeous day is sitting pretty...
This, my friends, is exactly the way we like to kick off the work week. With a drop-dead gorgeous wedding that is the epitome of chic. I'm talking an intimate love fest styled to perfection by Pineapple Planet with enough pretty details that will make you weak in the knees. Think beautiful orange and red hues, lush blooms and a fabulous ...
From the moment we met this sweet duo back in January (their engagement session was epic), we knew their wedding was going to be seriously stunning. The kind of seriously stunning that mixes glamorous details and heartwarming moments at every turn of the way. And you know what? We were sooo right, because this is a wedding that basically screams...
Now that we're well equipped to tackle all things master bedroom, we asked Erika to dig deep into the world of master bathrooms. Read on to find out where you can save, where you should splurge, and a few little tricks that make a really big...
Before I get into how much I adore this engagement session from Nadia Hung Photography, I simply must tell you that it's not a photo shoot. I know it looks practically perfect, and that floral crown from The Flower Factory is to die for, but these two gorgeous lovebirds are indeed as real as they come. And this engagement session? It's as amazing as they come.
A three day wedding weekend in Punta Cana sounds amazing as it is, but when that wedding is planned and designed by Weddings Romantique? Well, that just ups the ante on the pretty factor. It will only take one peek at the images below from Joseph Lin Photography to see why this wedding just had to grace the pages of SMP Destination, and there is even more lovely sitting...
Let's face it: anniversary sessions are awesome. They just so happen to be the perfect way to celebrate your love with your Mr. or Mrs., and when they are captured by the likes of the oh-so-talented Loft Photographie, well... even better. Because this is a day that is the loveliest combo of seriously fun and totally pretty and you can see every magic-filled moment...
This is the type of wedding I dream about. Timeless and stunning, it's absolute perfection from start to finish all captured beautifully by Altmix Photography. From the Bride's stunning Jenny Packham gown to one of the most gorgeous ballrooms I've ever seen overflowing with flowers from Britt Wood Designs - this...
