What we have here, my loves, is a lesson on how to use bright colors beautifully. This beachy wedding from Craig Paulson Photography is what I would imagine pure happiness and love bottled up in one day would look like, and the smiles? Well, they're here for the rest of the day! From the stunning bride... We wanted our wedding to be colorful, casual...
Combine beautiful DIY details and a fabulous ranch setting and the results are always amazing. But add in a group of talented friends, the beauty expertise of The Makeup Dolls and a bride (aka, Heather Westcott of Feather West) who knows a thing or two about planning a wedding and it's more than amazing... it's extraordinary. See it all captured by ...
The weekend is finally here, my dears, and we're celebrating in the best way possible — by introducing you all to five fabulous new advertisers joining the SMP family! First up? Sweet-as-can-be, handmade flower girl dress line Fattie Pie. Each and every dress from Fattie Pie is made-to-order and features stunning necklines, flutter sleeves and simply adorable tulle skirting.
You know what I really love? Couples who aren't afraid to infuse their day with personal moments from start to finish. It's exactly the heart behind this Santa Lucia Preserve affair, with a groom who happens to be Advertising VP at Facebook. From the custom Facebook-inspired guestbook to a special ceremony entrance for the bride who loves horses, it's a day filled with meaningful moments and ...
I remember when I first heard the term DIT. Not DIY. But DI-T. Doing it together. And I thought that it was so much more appropriate for the weddings we feature because rarely are the projects involved a solo act. Weddings just like this one - held in a loft in Brooklyn - where every element was made by the hands of friends. Click here for more from photographer...
It's easy to get distracted by the details of a wedding. The pretty accents that we work so hard on, that set our wedding aside from all the rest. But at the heart of those details is something far more magical. Love. Plain and simple. And this couple, against a gorgeous beachside backdrop with photographs by Closer to Love - had the love part of things totally nailed. Click here for more.
I've seen my fair share of cute engagements, but this one might very well take the cake. It's what happens when two Honolulu cuties hit up the local carnival with Kate Spade-inspired looks from head to toe and Ashley Goodwin by their side. The gallery is one crazy adorable capture after another and to top it all off? This week's lucky winners...
I can spot Ben Yew's images from a mile away. They have this gorgeous feeling about them that I simply can't put into words. And when he captures a wedding as stunning as this one planned by Cathrin D'Entremont Weddings I become utterly speechless. Perfection doesn't even cover the images sitting in...
Put on your designer shoes -- you're about to be an honorary guest at one of the most beautiful (and of course, charming) Southern Weddings you've ever seen, courtesy of Liz Banfield and Tara Guérard. Everything an at home wedding should be... contained in a gallery to keep you...
Beach weddings are my everything. I adore them. But when you throw in some modern flair and gorgeous styling (thanks to The Special Day) on top of them, well, I get a little giddy. And I may or may not let out a squeal or two. Because this gallery of image from Gabriel Ryan? It defines squeal-worthy. From...
I have to say - if the title of this post alone doesn't get your heart racing a million miles a minute, then I don't know what will. Because this, loves, is the type of wedding that marries colorful hues with layers upon layers of romantic details and some of the prettiest blooms you will ever see from Clark's House of Flowers. Take in every inch of lovely captured beautifully by ...
You know what happens when Chicago's finest vendors join forces with the amazing talents in Napa Valley? Pure, unadulterated perfection. Think LK Events, Vrai Photography, Sharla Flock Designs and Sherrie Long (+ many, many more) all coming together to create a...
I love when art inspires weddings. Art inspires fashion all the time, but rarely do we hear about a particular artist's impact on a couple's wedding style. But this shoot - inspired by Gustav Klimt - is proof that art can translate into weddings in a way that feels beautiful and utterly unique. Designed by Beau Tied Events with photographs by...
That's it, in my next life I'm going to start my own shop! And you'd better believe I'll be taking cues from The Beehive. Because if anyone's doing adorable shops the right way, it's them. Chock full of cute details and quaint finds, we sat down with sweet Sandra recently and dished on all things business, and then some! Captured by Brooke Allison Photography, per...
When your sister happens to be the creative genius behind Smith, Here! (and fun fact: former cast member of Laguna Beach) planning a carefully crafted, detail-loving wedding is a given. And having Ashlee Raubach there to capture every second? Well, that doesn't hurt one bit either. It's a colorful, springtime affair that's sure to make you smile, and you can see even more...
I'm at a loss for words. This wedding, from Kate Osbourne Photography, is so beautiful I might just cry. With Honey of a Thousand Flowers behind the day, I knew I was in for it, but I couldn't even begin to imagine just how perfect the wedding would be. But when I saw it, I was seriously...
It's rare that you see a wedding nearly 100% thrifted, refurbished and DIYed look as lovely as this one. Perhaps its that the bride and groom are literally glowing. But it's also that the details feel so real. So tied to the couple and their family. From the pie bar to the fresh peaches and tractor ride, this celebration - photographed by Contagious Design - is good for the soul.
I dare you to find a baby shower lovelier than this. From Native Poppy's incredible florals, to every last whimsical detail, perfectly executed by Hitched With Huff, it's safe to say that sweet baby Amelia Rose is one lucky little lady. And if you're looking for more (oh yes, there's more!), the gallery...
We love a good sign moment; especially one that you could virtually tuck into every nook and cranny of your wedding day. The options are truly endless with this threaded love sign crafted by A Splendid Occasion and shot by City Love Photography. It's a DIY plucked from this gorgeous...
Living in a city can sometimes make a girl crave those wide open spaces. The mountains, the fresh air, and those rugged landscapes for as far as the eye can see. But lucky for me - and all you fellow city dwellers - we're getting one such (virtual) escape via this Montana affair set at Moonlight Basin Resort. Snapped by the amazing Cluney Photo, it's...
