My daughter Audrey is my mini-SMPer. She helps with photo shoots, recipes & cooking (check out these Whoopie Pies we made!) and her 5-year-old loveliness is a constant source of inspiration for posts. So of course, when I mentioned that I wanted to transform our recently acquired fruit into some homemade apple pie & strawberry jam pop tarts, well, you can probably...
We sort of pride ourselves on being expert wedding pinners around these parts. Striving to curate the prettiest of pinboards overflowing with inspiration all the live long day. So when we heard InStyle had nominated us for their Social Media Awards -- in the "...
It goes without saying that I am a sucker for details. But what really gets me when I am looking through a wedding is love. The way a couple looks at each other, the hugs from family - those little moments in between the big moments always make me swoon. So when I come across a wedding like this one from Lumens Photography I feel like I've hit the jackpot, because it's filled to the brim with both.
Intimate weddings are my favorite. Maybe that's because I've always pictured my own wedding day as a small celebration with just the closest of family and friends... or maybe it's because I adore anything cozy and comfy. My guess? It's a sweet combination of all of the above and the reason I can't stop swooning over this Beverly Hills affair planned to perfection by The Charming Little Company. It's what I call pure...
From start to finish, this Alberta affair from Debbie Wong Photography is just downright adorable. The kind of adorable that makes your heart do flips and your fingers anxious to start pinning all the pretty. You might even want to spend all day soaking up the sweetness, and you can do just that right here. From...
Mixing rustic and modern just so happens to be one of my all-time favorite wedding combinations; a style choice that is guaranteed to make me weak in the knees the moment I lay my eyes on its pure awesomeness. Such is the case with this beautiful day captured by C. Tyson Photography, a stop-you-in-your-tracks DIY affair set against the industrial amazingness known as the ...
You know what's amazing? Two (stunning) architects saying "I do" against the beautiful backdrop that is the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center in a day planned to perfection by Joyful Details and boasting more than its fair share of pretty. I'm talking a day that features gorgeous (+ modern) florals from...
Florence is a magical place in itself. Florence combined with an intimate destination wedding dripping in romance brings that magic to an entirely new level. It's a combination that will certainly make your heart flutter a time or two, particularly because the images from John Zillioux and Lisa Poggi Photography are overflowing with pretty. It was all...
I am such a summer fan. Yes, I love every season, but summer never fails to steal my heart. So when we enter that inevitable transition into fall, I find myself clinging on to any warm weather activity with all my might. This little camping getaway captured by Johnny Cheng Photography and styled by Megan Elliott is the perfect way to do just that, and it is sooo up my...
You know what's better than a gorgeous dose of Old Hollywood-inspired pretty? A gorgeous dose of Old Hollywood-inspired pretty with a decidedly modern twist. One that takes all of that glamour and sophistication we know and love and ties it all up in a pretty bow made with succulent-filled florals from Village Green Florist, a glittery gold masterpiece from ...
When you hear the word calligraphy, I bet most of you envision a beautifully addressed envelope. Trust us, we love a pretty envelope! But we're kind of loving the gorgeously creative ways that couples are working with their vendors to really personalize their weddings, with calligraphy and custom lettering. In spirit of that, we've put together a pretty little round up of some of the loveliest...
Southern weddings are the cream to my coffee. The sweet spot in my hectic days. And when it happens to be the most darling minty pink "I do" captured through the lens of Katelyn James? Even better. Tack on planning from Amore Events by Cody with floral pretties...
French country inspired events always hold that little bit of something special that I can never quite put my finger on. Perhaps it's the worn linens, the casual approach to fabulous food or the sweet yet simple details, but this is one luncheon that I'm sad to have missed. It turns out, when you pair Valley & Co. with Dennis Wise great things are...
One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is getting to see a couple's wedding planning period unfold on the screens of SMP. Take this couple for instance, it seems like only yesterday we were swooning over their engagement session, and now we get to devour every last gorgeous detail of their big day. It just makes my heart so happy, and I...
Here's what I know. This affair captured perfectly by Isabelle Selby is the epitome of drop-dead gorgeous (it sooo is) and there's no place quite like the always-fabulous NYC for some sophisticated meets elegant Winter wedding magic. Because New York City? Well, it's the kind of city that just screams "Winter chic" and for these two dapper grooms, there was just no better (or more romantic) locale to...
We think of all you pretties out there as friends. We may or may not feel like your virtual bridesmaids. So when we hear of an event right in your backyard that would be a crime to miss, we make sure you know about it. It's part of our virtual bridesmaid duty. That's why we are pulling out the stops to make sure Project Fashion hosted by the lovelies at...
For as endlessly pretty as the images from Lane Dittoe's camera always are, I'm positive that Lane has finally met his match in this wedding. And do you know what pretty meets pretty looks like? It looks just like this Santa Barbara affair heavy on the sunshine and natural beauty with vendors like Cody Floral Design and ...
Truth be told, I'm not much of a steak eater. But when I do indulge, I indulge hard and I make sure to do it right. Sauteed mushrooms, a pad of butter, medium rare and straight off the grill (kind of making myself hungry here)... It never really occurred to me that there was any other way to do it. But after drooling over Kevin &...
Some days, you just need a warm atmosphere where smiles and laughter abound. They warm you right up and put a grin on your face - and not to mention, give your Pinning fingers some exercise. Unity Weddings put together a beautiful soiree on a lake for this couple, complete with DIY milk glass vases (!!!) and Micheal B. Photography has...
Don't get me wrong, I'm a sucker for great wedding details. But when a vow renewal this special comes along, I'm completely and totally reminded of what really matters -- the couple, the stories, the love. And thanks to the incredible angels behind Wish Upon a Wedding, Sarah, battling stage 4 breast cancer, and Colin, serving in the military, were able to mark their 10th anniversary with the celebration it SO deserved. Spend some...
