If there was a "cutest couple ever" award, it would go to Abby and Mike. No question. Because when you've got a pair as lovely as these two mixed with a wedding right in keeping with all that cuteness, it makes for a celebration we adore. It's a blanket of jewel toned florals and white pumpkins crafted by Bella Raines Garden Studio along with the sweetest images by ...
Confession: I've actually partaken in an apple picking double date. And before you judge, I can honestly say that it was SO much fun. Admittedly, the boys were a little skeptical at first. But once we arrived I swear they enjoyed it more than my girlfriend and I. We've since vowed to make double date apple picking a yearly activity and I can't recommend it highly enough. Styled by Sarah The Architect and captured by ...
There are few things I love more than a toes-in-the sand vacay, and since laying eyes on the gorgeous images from Secrets Puerto Los Cabos Golf & Spa Resort — opening December 2013 — I've been mentally planning my next getaway! Located in front of the Sea of Cortez, this exclusive resort boasts 500 stunning suites with Unlimited-Luxury® privileges (we're talking 24-hour room service, my dears!) and offers guests incredible...
I tend to find myself drawn to cool tones... blues and greens with lots of whites, grays, and blacks in the mix. But I've got to hand it to Adornments Flowers + Finery, because today I am totally digging the warmth. The reds, oranges, corals, and pinks that she infused into the stunning floral design of this perfect wedding have me converted. ...
If Carrie Bradshaw had a rustic wedding, it would look just like this. A day filled with whimsy and spunk, and fashion forward touches all along the way. Planned in the hands of Jonathan Madanat and snapped up by Jonathan David Photography, this is one Aussie affair...
Kristin La Voie is filling our screens with pretty once again with this beautiful Hotel Arista wedding , and I couldn't be more thankful. Because this beauty is overflowing with all the pretty things that make me smile, topped off with one seriously in love couple. Making this gallery...
It never fails. Combine a sweet backyard setting with one seriously adorable duo and it's a guaranteed day of pretty. Especially when that adorable duo also happens to be a twosome that can really craft the heck out of some drop-dead gorgeous details, like stunning arches, lush florals (+ hops boutonnieres) and some fab signage. Throw in a dream team of Vancouver vendors (Forte Events and ...
SMPers, get ready to be whisked away to the breathtaking island of Mallorca (off the coast of Spain), all thanks to T'estim, the incredibly talented wedding planner who has been designing and coordinating gorgeous events since 2005! It's no secret that putting together destination "I do's" can be stressful, but with a veteran like T'estim on your side (we're talking over 300 weddings!) who has planned...
You Texas lovelies really know how to throw a wedding. Like those drop-dead gorgeous, heartwarming kind of affairs that are chock-full of beautiful details and magical moments every which way you turn. Basically, you Texans rock... and when you throw a group of uber-talented vendors in to the mix (hello Viridian Design Studio...
There is no getting around it, this wedding from Lisa Rigby is just as lovely as they come. Overflowing with the kind of style that just makes you smile and details so pretty you may just squeal - it's what we like to call SMP gold around these parts. But you don't have to take my word for it, you can get lost in all the pretty ...
These two seriously have a story fit for a movie. He watched her in her leather pants from afar in high school, then played the cool cowboy when they met years later. She held her cards close to her chest until declaring that she'd marry him if he asked her - on their third date! I'm loving everything about their story, and their wedding? Well lets just say it was so beautiful, it took two phenomenal photographers to capture it all.
After spending the past several days at bridal fashion week, I can say with certainty that pink is the new everything for 2014. (Just look at the miss Wang's latest collection to walk down the runway.) And while it can be a tricky hue to hit just right, this Charlottesville affair shows how it's done. Designed by the bride with the talented Southern Blooms by Pat's Floral Designs by her side, the...
This year I decided it was essential to embrace Halloween with a bit of gilded pumpkin goodness. I recently discovered the wonders of Martha Stewart crafts paint and I experimented with a few colors to make a gradient effect on a simple kraft pumpkin. It really is a simple project, but the resulting product is filled with wow. Martha Stewart Metallic Acrylic craft Paint in three shades (available at...
They say smiling is contagious. I don't know who "they" is, but they're totally right. Because the moment I laid my eyes on this darling duo and their ear to ear grins, I couldn't help but try one on for myself. That probably has a little something to do with the sheer happiness bursting from every darling moment these two lovebirds shared, from the crazy gorgeous ceremony to the amazing dance party extravaganza at the end of the night. See it all captured perfectly by...
Sometimes I come across weddings that just have so much style I can barely contain myself. Weddings that introduce you to a couple the minute you sneak a peek at all their gorgeous images. Weddings just like this one captured by Alec Vanderboom and planned by La Vie En Rose Events. It's a New York City stunner packed with personality, and...
You've probably guessed by now that I am an uber-romantic. That I'm the kind of girl that stays up until the wee hours of the morning watching Jane Eyre's 100th showing, cry while reading greeting cards and count Pride & Prejudice as the greatest novel ever written. You guessed right. And on top of all of that total love of all things girly, I also happen to be the kind of gal that gets all kinds of excited for some e-session lovely. An e-session, in fact, like this darling day...
This wedding right here? It's exactly the reason I love destination weddings. The reason I can't get enough of a laid back meets elegant, toes in the sand kind of affair. It's a picture perfect backdrop (aka, the Caribbean) with a bride and groom who are the epitome of stunning and enough gold accents to keep you smiling all year (it's true). And don't even get me started on the gallery from...
With the exception of a large vanilla latte, nothing makes my afternoon better like a California wedding. And this Camarillo beaut? Off. the. charts. Made pretty by My Bride Story and Kristine Shin Designs, this al fresco stunner is what modern garden I Dos are all about. See every sunshiny capture from ...
It's been about two years since my own "I dos," but I can remember the registry process like it was yesterday. It's the once-in-a-lifetime chance to make the mile long wish list for anything your married life requires -- but the best part of it all is that these days, registry has NO rules. Want to opt for some extra cozy throws over traditional crystal? Do it! Leaning towards cool artwork for your walls in lieu of kitchen electronics? Go right ahead! Because when it comes to your registry, it's...
If we're being totally honest with ourselves, I think we can agree Mondays aren't necessarily the most inspired day of the week. So when we came across this wedding after party from the always amazing Michelle Edgemont, we couldn't help but think it may be just the ticket to pull us all out of the Monday rut. Because with vendors like Nine Cakes, ...
