There are three things about this wedding that I will never, ever forget. First, the whimsical, almost fairy-like floral design from Butterfly Petals (I love). Second, the fact that the bride designed not only her gown, but four of the bridesmaids gowns as well. And finally, it's the brides sweet as can be write up. Call me a sap, but she had me in tears. Elyse Hall didn't help...

There's a winter wedding on the East Coast (think piles of snow and wintery whites) and then there's a California winter affair full of blue skies and beautiful rich color. Whatever your preference, this wedding is undeniably good, good, good. Crafted by Brooke Keegan along with florals by Flowers Annette Gomez and imagery by ...
Spring is finally here my dears, and to say we're excited is the understatement of the week. We're so giddy, in fact, that we've partnered up with Macy's for another...
When your engagement story starts with seeking shelter from the rain in a Tiffany's, the act that follows is bound to be romantic and beautiful, and this wedding was. With Brian Dorsey Studios on the job, every single image is perfection embodied, and we've put everything from the Village Invites to the glowy exit, in...
I'm expecting my first little one this summer, and after my husband and I found out what we are having (a boy!), we were stumped on how to share the news. There are tons of ideas out there for gender reveal parties, but what about all our long-distance friends and family? We put our heads together, and came up with these cute little eggs! These eggs are more interactive than a card but still lightweight enough to mail. Your family receives an egg with a question mark and instructions to...
Though not totally in season, a great Winter wedding is always welcome around these parts. I'm sure some of you are deep in the throws of planning your own cold weather fetes so take note. This gem is a little woodland planned by Grit + Gold, woven with garland by Blue Lotus and a bit of sparkle too. It has all the components for a winter wedding gone city glam. See even...
As a little girl, I vacationed in Lake Tahoe and to say it's a nature lover's paradise is a gross understatement. It's so much more. Gorgeous scenery, lakeside bungalows, lots of latenight campfires...you get the drift. But Lake Tahoe is even better when matched with an elegant al fresco wedding like this beauty photographed by Rachelle Derouin, designed by ...
Seattle has been on my list of must-see spots for a good, long while. And after poring through this cozy little e-sesh, my plane tickets are as good as booked! Angela & Evan Photography snapped every windblown moment, and it's sitting pretty in the gallery right here. From Angela & Evan Photography... Julia and Wyatt bundled up for their...
These two are adorable. And not just because they are high school sweethearts and called their wedding the "White Wedding", a totally fun play on their last name. Nope, it's because you can just tell that they are soooo in love. And in every beautiful image captured by Union Eleven Photographers, that love literally jumps from the computer screen. See it all in the...
The very best engagement sessions don't necessarily need all the "fluff"...the balloons and confetti and props galore. The only special sauce needed is a madly-in-love couple who couldn't be cuter if they tried. Couples just like this Cleveland duo who cozied up in front of Lauren Gabrielle's camera for sweet little e-sesh that's sure to make you smile. See it all...
The first time I saw a Monet exhibit, I was completely blown away. I'm not an artist (by any means), but it literally felt as if those vibrant colors were jumping straight from the canvas and wrapping around my entire being. So a Monet-inpired photo shoot weaving those exact hues with all things wedding? Soooo beautiful and sooo amazing. Click here for this wonderful collaboration captured by...
Wanderlust is flooding SMP HQ this morning and it has everything to do with this sunshine filled Ibiza wedding captured by Gypsy Westwood Photography. It's happy and free spirited as all good weddings should be and the backdrop of this seaside Spanish Island? Impossibly beautiful. See for yourself! From the Bride... Ibiza holds so many amazing...
My inner prepster is totally in love with this wedding. With its gorgeous pink and green palette, seersucker bow ties and traditional yet fun styling, it is complete preppy perfection. Beautifully planned by Erin McLean Events, every gorgeous image sitting in this gallery from ...
Newport weddings make my heart sing. Newport weddings at the Newport Yachting Center with this amount of chic? They make me want to jump out from behind my desk and do a happy dance. It's perfectly sweet with just the right amount of sophistication, making every image snapped up by Mikhail Glabets sitting in...
Tying the knot seaside has always been a not-so-secret dream of mine, because, fear of all things ocean-related aside (true story), there's just no place as serenely beautiful as the beach. Count the cool ocean air, acres of sand and crystal blue skies as reason enough to love beach weddings, but when you add in this gorgeous affair captured by Amanda Suanne, the perfection just can't be denied. See it all...
When you peel back all the pretty layers, right there at the center of a wedding is the promise of forever. An eternal love. And that, my loves, is truly what makes every wedding so beautiful. That heart, which is so prominent in this Savannah elopement from Jade and Matthew Take Pictures. Lisa + Brad decided to elope on a trip back home from...
Though many places are blessed with an abundance of citrusy fruit year round, up here in Canada the selection leaves much to be desired. But now that the weather is warming up, the flavours are bursting and I find myself craving them in abundance! First on the menu: Megan Doherty and Katie Parra's lemon rosemary beauty. Top it off with some spanish sparkling and...
Savannah is a magical city. My best friend, Courtney, was born and raised in the city and brought us all to devour every last inch of her home when we were in college. It's pure magic and when you layer on a wedding rich in beauty and style, well, the city just comes to life that much more. With photography from Amy Arrington, spend...
What do you get when you cross one crazy cool wedding venue, an amazing floral designer (looking at you, Blade NYC!) and A Guy + A Girl Photography? One heck of a beautiful day, that's what! And if you can't take my word for it, just feast your eyes on these pretty captures. They're sooo worth a...
Believe me I tried to cram so much goodness into this little post. From the gobs of adorable images by Sonya Yruel to those striped linens (holy moly those are good) to the impossibly bright blooms by Poppy Stone Designs. It's all jam-packed in here and the result is summer camp fun with a dash of best wedding ever.
