Rustic farm weddings are sort of the bread and butter of SMP. They're part of what put us on the map in the early days yet continue to resonate with readers time and time again. So when we come across these sorts of affairs today, we look for that special something. That "it" factor that makes a wedding stand out in the crowd. And thanks to Oleander Florals, these Pennsylvania nuptials stand out in the prettiest of...
We've featured a ton of really fabulous recipes in SMP Livings past, but I have to admit that none of them have tempted me as much as this one. Pancakes already rank high atop my list of favourite treats, and that's without the addition of cherries, chocolate and sea salt. My mind almost can't even handle all of the delicious! Thanks to...
Sometimes the very best weddings are the very smallest. The intimate backyard affairs that are filled to bursting with love, like this one from Danielle Capito Photography. It was stunning, yes, but you can almost feel the love radiating out of your computer screen. It's a total heartwarmer, this one. From the photographer...
Some days I can be a bit of a plain Jane in the wardrobe department. Opting for "safe" over "stylish" in fear my fashion risk will flop. But today, I'm taking cues from this California bride-to-be. She's got style for miles and can rock a stripey dress like you wouldn't believe. So let's ditch the stretchy yoga pants and indulge in this fashion-heavy e-sesh from ...
My boyfriend and I go through phases where we're on a dating roll, trying out new things on a constant basis, or repeating the same activities day in and day out. Ah, the dating rut - it happens! I'm thinking we should take a note from sweet Mekenzee & Lee and instill Thai Tuesdays! One night a week dedicated to spending time with your loved one, cooking up something fierce in the kitchen? Now this is something I can happily get on board with! Captured by...
This photo shoot had me at hello. Well actually it had me at lush florals from Sweet Marie Design, fab stylings from Sweet Revelry Events and a whole lot of pretty from some of San Diego's finest vendors, but you get the point. I am thoroughly obsessed. Add in a breathtaking (+ sophisticated) ...
If you've spent anytime at all perusing the archives here on SMP Australia (a lovely way to spend the day, I might add) you know that that Land Down Under happens to play host to some of the world's most beautiful backdrops. Backdrops that scream romantic from the moment you lay your eyes on their amazingness; settings so sweetly simple and full of natural beauty, there are barely words to describe them. Case in point? This gorgeous shoot from ...
I always get a tad bit excited when I see a wedding from Evan Hunt Photo pop up in our submissions. And I'll tell you why - I can stare at each individual image for longer than I care to admit, and when the entire wedding comes together? I basically surrender my entire day to devouring all the pretty. It's safe to say he has a way with the camera, and when you pair that talent with a wedding this gorgeous - magic...
I love Summer in Vegas. A lot. But when the heat (and random humidity) get to be a bit much, I long for the crisp, cool ocean breeze like it's no one's business. Lucky for me (and you), this Maroma Beach affair is hitting all of those toes-in-the-sand, drink in hand sweet spots with a colorful celebration planned to absolute perfection by Canteiro. It's beach chic pretty meets one seriously fun party and you can see it all captured...
Yesterday I was having a day Murphy could probably base his entire law on - everything that could possibly go wrong, did. But then this pretty designed by Bird Dog Wedding and captured by Ashley Garmon landed in my lap, and immediately, all was right with the world again. Because, really, how could you not just throw all your cares away when looking...
You know what I love more than anything? Brunch. Well, brunch and one seriously drop-dead gorgeous wedding. And when the two come together in one out-of-this-world photo shoot? I go bananas in the best possible way. Because, really, what's better than layers upon layers of fab stylings by Kennedy Event Planning, a surprise wedding theme (!) and moment after glorious moment captured by ...
There is something so magical about a ballroom wedding. Don't you agree? The gowns, the chandeliers, the elegance - it all tends to make me swoon. So when I come across a wedding like this one by Artstar by Laura Stone, I feel like I've hit the wedding jackpot. Because not only is it filled to the brim with lovely, but it's also overflowing with love...and it doesn't get better than that.
New England weddings rock. That's a tried and true fact. But when you combine a sweet Cranberry Island setting with some of the most gorgeous details you have ever seen from Natalie Trento Events, it's a new world of amazing. One that features beautiful blooms from Sweet Pea Flowers, a crazy awesome tented reception and one lovely image after...
I can't help but be in a cheerful mood after seeing the photos for our latest installment of Behind the Invitation! Tyler and Jessie from One Plus One Design are here today to tell us the story behind this sweet design. From the lovebirds, Jeff and Jen flying away in their getaway plane, to the map envelope liners and the bright color combo, the whole...
By now you've probably figured out I'm about as girly as it gets. Pink? Yes. Glitter? Of course. And polka dots? Duh! So when KJ & Co. sent over this pretty little number shot by Elizabeth In Love, I was on cloud nine, to say the least. And just when I thought it couldn't get any better...
Have you ever indulged in an elderflower cocktail? Because I fully and wholeheartedly believe that it will change your life. It's subtle, it's fresh, and you simply feel like a lady while sipping it. I've had it sprinkled throughout a number of different libations, but it never really occurred to me to whip one up for myself at home. That is, until now, thanks to...
This wedding is pure awesome; a crème de la crème of pretty set against the always-amazing NYC. And even more than all of the drop-dead gorgeous details (and there are a lot of them) and DIY goodness, it's the kind of day that just feels cozy... the sort of affair that you can't wait to attend, and always dreamt of having. From the crazy sophisticated Public setting to one fabulous image after another captured by ...
Oh how I adore a beach wedding. And a beach wedding with a bit of chic? Well, that is so up my alley. So this little seaside soiree captured by Monika Gauthier has my name written all over it. Each beautiful image paints the picture of a day that was not only gorgeous, but meaningful - and to me, it doesn't get better than that.
There's this powerhouse duo that kills it in the wedding world. That designing and floral artistry twosome better known as Lisa Vorce and Mindy Rice have a way of creating the most magical affairs. The kind that transport you to a whole new world where everything from the paper goods to the teepees (see below) convey a sense of who the couple is and perfectly reflect the spot that...
I always get so anxious when we've got a full day filled with goodies and we have to wait until the LAST post to see the full reveal. We are such teases, aren't we?! But we couldn't not fill you in on all that DIY goodness. Our DIYer went to town this time around and the gold-leafed art, the...
