My favorite wedding ingredient? Hands down, personality. Because there's nothing better than a wedding chock-full of personality-infused details to really give you a glimpse of the couple behind the big day. And this darling duo captured by Alisia Thompson? Well, they (and their family and friends) are as crafty as it gets with a whole host of amazing details lovingly styled with their very own talented hands. Think fab paper...
Every now and then I need a good ol' dose of whimsy in my day. And this European affair, my dears, will do just the trick! It's filled to the gills with DIY pretty and Britta Schunck didn't miss a beat. To see even more of these two love bugs and their oh so happy day, head over here. From...
Pale blush and gold can be as classic a combo as black and white; at least in this girl's eyes. It's romantic without being overly done and this particular affair photographed by Melissa Brandman so embodies that idea of easy elegance and thoughtfully crafted moments. And it's not just the decor details, but the ceremony that included a hand-fasting and the planting of an oak tree or the Bride's veil trimmed in lace hand-beaded by...
For the last few years, flower crowns have risen to the tippy top of the accessory chain. But what about those of us who just don't want to go full circle? Some of the lovely ladies I work with don't feel comfortable wearing an entire crown but they still want that same romantic vibe. This past weekend I decided to try and make a half crown. It came out better than expected! It's great because you can wear all of...
I'd be lying if I said this wedding didn't have my heart at "organic farm." It's just the right setting for this handmade affair, boasting farm-to-table menus and a crazy stunning view of Oregon's Mt. Hood. But what really sealed the deal? The pretty, pretty photos from mister Michael Radford. He captured the day with pure loveliness, and I pinky promise your ...
I've pulled together a few of my must-have accessories for this Fall season, a collection of things designed to put a little pep in your step as we move towards Winter and the holidays! I've had my eye on that Clare Vivier clutch for a bit now and the Nixon watch was just added to my Christmas list. I hope you love these lovely goodies as much as I do! For more fashion inspiration, head on over to my blog A House in the Hills.
I may not know this darling duo, but I am fairly certain of one thing: they are a couple that really likes to have a good time. The kind of couple who throw the world's most beautiful celebration, complete with purple-infused florals from M.J. Design LA, fab paper goods from Minted and a whole lot of Lakers-inspired awesome captured by ...
Behind every feature on SMP is a wonderful story. A story that starts with two people not knowing each other and then not knowing what to do without each other. I can't get enough of it, which is why I spend my days lost in love stories like this one. And when you get to do so through images as gorgeous as these by Jewel Chenoweth Photography, It's not a bad way to spend the day. I highly recommend you doing the same, so be sure to...

This Starved Rock State Park wedding is easy to love for a lot of reasons, but standing tall and proud above the rest? The bride and groom, two adorable sweethearts who happen to be smiling with pure, unadulterated joy in each and every image. I'm talking the kind of love that literally bursts from your computer screen, people. It's awesome. And when you pair all of that happiness with a gallery of pretty captured by ...
I adore each and every day on SMP Canada, but today is extra special. Today I get to share the wedding of a dear friend of mine (who is also somewhat responsible for me meeting my now hubby), and boy is it a pretty one. Not that I am surprised, that's just how this little lady operates. Kelly has an understated elegance she carries with her everywhere she goes, and it played out beautifully as she tied the knot to her Mr. Right. Their lovely lake cottage set the scene for a perfect day (despite...
I probably ask my husband if we could go to the South of France more than most people ask their husbands to take out the trash. I am borderline obsessed with this place I've never been, so when I see a wedding like this one by Adam Alex I literally drop everything I'm doing and send it to my hubby. Because surely if he sees a wedding this lovely in a setting this stunning, we'll be hopping on a plane in no time.
Three months doesn't seem like nearly enough time to plan your wedding, but if you're two incredibly crafty sweethearts, it most definitely can be done. Case in point? These two cuties, who tackled every last aspect of their Big Day with some serious talent and beautifying skills that are sort of jaw-dropping. I'm talking everything from burlap flags to mason jar centerpieces. Add in the ever-lovely Tracy Enoch to...
This adorable duo came to their talented team with the idea that was a little bit nautical, a little bit vintage-travel inspired and sprinkled with southern charm - and boy their team did they deliver. With Andrea Harper at the design helm, rentals from Gray Harper Event Maker, a gorgeous cake from ...
I'm fighting every urge in my body to let the girly "oh my gods" gush out of me right now. This wedding, from Lauren Methia Photography, has done it. The couple, the flowers from Winston Flowers, the beautiful sunset on the beach, the colors... it's brought out my inner wedding nerd, and I'm loving it.
Try as I may, there is no way I could keep this wedding short. It's sweet... oh it's beautifully sweet, but I couldn't risk you not visiting the beautiful gallery from Dani Leigh Photography, so I tried to pack as many stunning shots as I could into this post. But please, don't let that stop you from visiting the gallery! It's filled to the brim...
If you want my opinion, there's NO place on earth more stunning than Tuscany. So grabbing your beloved for an engagement sesh amongst those rolling hills and olive trees? Well...I can't think of a more perfect scenario. Unless, of course, you have Amanda K there to capture every second. She managed to snap some of the most romantic shots we've seen, and I...
Wow your guests by whipping up your own burger buns and giving them a fun boost with squid ink (perfect for Halloween, if you ask me). Spicy halibut patties paired with fabulous Asian flavours really elevate this dish. A serious crowd pleaser!

After three years of blissful marriage, these two cuties (the ever-talented Jennifer Blair and her dapper Mr.) have still got it. That eternally glow-y, love-filled happiness reserved exclusively for couples in all caps LOVE. And what better way to capture that joy-filled bliss than with a pretty, pretty anniversary session set against a stunning Alys Beach backdrop...
