I've come to find the more colorful the wedding, the more giddy I get. Take this Alabama beaut, for example. It's bursting with shades all over the pretty little rainbow, yet every bit as elegant as a black and white affair. M. Elizabeth Events is the genius behind this wedding day design with Simple Color on board to capture. Ready for more? Make yourself comfy cozy in the...

Think smiling faces and hugs for everyone. Don't waste another minute and...
You really can't go wrong with a Hawaiian beach wedding. I've been to one and the magic is just there... I think it's all in the sunsets. White Orchid's Plantation House is now officially (you hear that? Officially.) my favorite Hawaiian locale ever, thanks to this stunner from Wendy Laurel.

Hold the phones SMPers, because today we're in for a little something special. A blogger-bride introduction, to be exact.

The only thing I love more than weddings themselves are the stories behind them. Like this Massachusetts bride, who chose to wed in the very same church all the women in her family have for generations. It's a day that nods to the classics while infusing plenty of personal touches from start to finish. Kate Preftakes Photography captured every moment and you can have a look...
There are rehearsal dinners, and then there is this amazing day captured by Alison White Photography, which can only be described as the most fun you've ever had, all wrapped up in some crazy gorgeous scenery. I'm talking a stunning Flora Farms setting hosting lawn games, face painting and all kinds of yummy cotton candy (my favorite). See every joy-filled moment...
