I swear to you I ingest more calories on Wednesdays than I do any other day of the week. You see, Wednesday has become the day in which we really dive deep into the realm of food in all forms on SMP Living and I always find myself scavenging my cupboards by noon as a result. And high atop the craving inducing shoots we post? Ayda Robana and Nancy Neil's beyond incredible...
Happy Wedding Wednesday SMPers! I think it's time for a little spotlight, don't you? We have our fair share of convo about gorgeous dresses, lovely blooms and the little details that make a wedding come together. But we don't give the...
Metallics are sort of the cool kid on the block when it comes to weddings. They add a bit of edge to anything they're paired with and are finding their way into wedding palettes all across the board. And while we happen to be a teensy bit partial to gold (we'll gild almost anything!), House of Earnest has officially proven cooper can be equally as elegant. You'll find every detail of this metallic mashup with a gorgeous bride styled...
There is nothing - and I mean nothing - better than Fall in New England. And if you did a poll for the very best thing about the very best season? You'd get a nearly unanimous - Apple. Cider. Donuts. And this recipe, for baked donut goodness, is about as good as it gets.
My friends would describe me as a Chatty Cathy; a girl who can't stop talking, even if her life depended on it. And although I typically agree with that assessment (in lengthy, specific detail), sometimes I find myself struggling to explain just how much I love a wedding... grasping for the right words to describe its gorgeous details and heartwarming moments that are sure to fill your day with happy. This is one of those weddings. An exuberant affair with bright, vivid colors, mesmerizing...
Oh Australia, your weddings just know how to make me weak in the knees. And this Bondi Beach beauty from Kristy Toepfer is the perfect example of why I'll never tire of weddings from down under. They just epitomize casual elegance - and you can see all the DIY goodness that has me swooning over this fabulous summer fête...
Days have a way of getting away from me. I often look at the clock and realize hours have passed (I'm sure the same thing happens to you). But films like this one from Sica Films make me stop. It's as though they make time stand still for just a moment just so I can get lost in all the lovely of this wonderful couples' wedding - and for that, I couldn't thank them more. So do yourself a favor this morning, and allow yourself to stop for just a moment...
One wedding day detail that simply can't be overlooked is fabulous food. And with a wedding at Chicago staple Maggiano's Little Italy, you can rest assured that an incredible, made-from-scratch meal will be served! With five Chicagoland locations from downtown to the burbs, all boasting a warm + inviting environment, Maggiano's is the perfect...
Texas weddings have a charm about them that simply can't be duplicated. It's just something that seems to come to effortlessly for those that call that pretty state home, and we get to reap the rewards through weddings like this one by Matthew Moore. Perfectly lovely and focused on family, it doesn't get much more charming than the images sitting...
"Love, passion and sun." Three more than perfect words to describe this beautiful day captured by Matteo Castelluccia Videomaker. Because this is a day that is not only rich with gorgeous details and light-filled settings (oh, is it ever), but one smiling face after another literally filling your entire computer screen. So do yourselves a favor, lovelies... hit play. And then hit repeat. [iframe http://player.vimeo.
Intimate and downright lovely, this Willowdale Estate wedding from Zac Wolf Photography is the type of fête that will make your heart do a leap or two. And yes, you'll grin from ear to ear because of the all the sweet details tucked in this gallery, but what will really make you swoon is just how...
Combining the uber-gorgeous fashions of the 1920's with just a dash of modern stylings is never a bad idea, particularly when it comes in the form of a beautiful inspiration shoot like this darling sesh captured by Haley Sheffield. I'm talking stunning gowns from The Sentimentalist, glamorous jewelry from ...
Invite me to a pretty garden wedding and I'll show up with my best chapeau and a whole lot of excitement. They are just my favorite. So romantic and so, so pretty. It goes without saying, therefore, that a garden soiree from Forever Photography Studio on the blog makes for a very happy wedding blogger. Very happy indeed. From the...
From the second I saw this wedding, I knew the bride was a SMP girl through and through. She's got style and spirit and can DIY with the very best of 'em. And her wedding? Think the most lush, feminine, al fresco soiree you've ever seen with planning by My Waiheke Wedding & Events and flowing florals from Leaf & Honey. ...
In general, I feel fairly confident in the kitchen whipping up things here and there at will. But for whatever reason, when it comes to salad, I tend to reach for the same ol' boring version time and time again. I usually find that eating salad feels more like a chore than a choice, and often have to remind myself that there are delicious versions that far surpass my go-to spinach and tomato combo. Versions like...
This is a wedding that is all about the romance. Beautiful pink-hued romance with lush blooms from Emma's Flowers and just a dash of vintage charm. And if that weren't enough to totally make your Wednesday (it sooo is), there's a Jim and Pam-esque love story brimming just beyond the surface; a love at first sight meets totally adorable family kind of love story you won't be able to get enough of (believe me).
Ladies and gents, this is an engagement story worthy of your utmost attention. You see, not only did this soon-to-be hubby plan he picture perfect proposal for his lovely (and lucky) lady, but he also made sure the entire weekend was extra fab too. The result? A gallery from Rouxby Photography that is all around fabulous. See it all here. From the...
Lisa Lefkowitz has a way of sending us weddings that make our jaws drop, and this San Francisco beauty planned by Jubilee Lau Events and designed by Gloria Wong Design is a wonderful example. It may just be the definition of perfection, and it just take one look below...
We're going to wrap things up today with a fun little treat: a google hangout with our very own Editor extraordinaire, Stephanie Weers, talking all things fashion and What Brides will be Wearing in 2014. She's fresh off a whirlwind trip to Bridal Market and joining in on a fabulous panel hosted by Anne Chertoff with fellow guests...
Can you even begin to handle the cute? Because my mind is kind of exploding at this very second. I've said before that our in house DIYer is absolutely brilliant, but she has completely outdone herself this time. Now all I need to do is figure out how to transform this into an adult version. Captured by Ruth Eileen , if you only ever look at one gallery here on SMP Living...
