This is why I wish I lived in Texas. Besides the warm weather and crazy good food, it's the rustic meets romantic weddings you lovelies in The Lone Star State know how to do oh-so-well. Weddings just like this one that seamlessly combine elegant details (hello stunning florals from Tricia Barksdale Designs) with fabulous rustic glam details. See it all captured by ...

In my book, brunch weddings are just about the most genius thing ever. When planned right, they make for a wedding EVERY bit as elegant as their evening affair counterparts, and this little beauty from Rhaina Taylor is a perfect example. Dive into all the daytime wedding beauty waiting right here. From Rhaina Taylor... A real life "Roman...
If you haven't noticed, we're suckers for a pretty pair of heels and we've got a whole gallery full of them (thousands, actually!) to prove it. So when we heard that this stunning bride wore not one, but three pairs of shoes on her wedding day, designed by her own father AND brand-named after her? Well, you can imagine our excitement. There's ...
The second I stepped foot in Charleston a year ago, I was hooked. The charm of this Southern city is seriously unreal and the bevy of pink homes the cherry on top. Thus making it the absolute perfect spot for marrying your love. Throw in a photographer like Taylor Rae and a day topped off with a table full of cakes and the result is a true Southern celebration. See so much more...
I don't know what it is about family farm weddings that makes me so incredibly happy, but I'm not going to fight it. Perhaps it's because they are super intimate, or incredibly sweet or maybe it's the thoughtful touches that always seem to be sprinkled throughout. Whatever it is, when I land on a wedding like this on from Julie Morawski For Carla Ten Eyck I couldn't be happier.
I spy a piña colada and what looks like a strawberry mojito. Quite possibly two of my favorite tropical concoctions, ever. And just one of the many reasons I fall for beach weddings every single time. This colorful Morada Bay Beach Cafe soiree has me with fingers crossed, hoping the next wedding invite in my mailbox is jet-set to sun and sand. In the meantime...
True story - it snowed last week here in little ol' New England. Snowed! So while this wintery wedding inspiration shoot may seem a bit off-beat for April, let me assure you those flurries haven't left for good just yet. And let's be honest, with Kate Incer, Gracie Blue and Laura Leslie on the job, cold weathered...
It doesn't get much cooler than a classic NYC wedding. Well, until you set it against a fabulous City Hall Restaurant setting and infuse cultural significance into each and every moment. That, my friends, turns any classic wedding into a day that is the epitome of stunning and when you add an entire gallery of lovely from Melissa Kruse, it makes everything that much better.
I love this couples' wedding so much I want to squeeze them. With the help of Touch Of Style Events they crafted an affair that was 100% them, and 100% fabulous. The oh-so-talented Ken Kienow was behind the camera snapping up every stylish detail, which leaves us with a gallery that is just ridiculously good.
I love weddings with all my heart, but it's engagement sessions that always leave me feeling like I really got to know a couple. From the sweet smooches to adoring glances, they're full of couple cuteness and this session from Nyk + Cali is certainly no exception. Set at a stunning private beach in front of Groom-to-be's base, this little gallery is one you...
An utterly romantic bit from the handsome groom's speech… "Being with someone doesn’t have to be hard, and that if you find the right person, every day can actually be happy, and as beautiful as you want it to be." If that doesn't sweep you off your feet (how could it not?), Duüet Photography has filled our galleries with classic romance at it's best!
It never fails: I see the breathtaking work of Karen Wise and my entire heart turns to putty. It's just one of those givens in my day to day here at SMP, and this beautiful Manhattan affair? I want it. From the gorgeous stylings of James Abel Events to that stunning gown from ...
Vibrant, colorful and filled to the brim with love, this Windfall Farms wedding captured by Danielle Poff Photography is pure happiness. Planned to perfection by Touch of Style Events and overflowing with fabulous details (not to mention one ridiculously cute pup) - it goes without saying...
It's not often that an al fresco fete drenched in natural light doesn't sweep me off my feet. And this Durham Ranch wedding from Kate Webber has nearly knocked me onto the ground. With a wildly beautiful orchid ceremony backdrop from Gathering Floral + Event Design, a sweet spread from ...
The Marvimon has always been one of my favorite venues. It has a cool mid-century feel paired with a stunning indoor/outdoor space and a succulent wall that I literally want to marry. But I've never seen the Marvimon quite like this; intertwined with a December wedding so classic, so beautiful that it truly embodies the best of both worlds. Planned by So Happi Together with garden...
First thought: These two newlyweds are beyond adorable. Second: Gallivanting around the streets of Madrid soaking up the gorgeous Spanish architecture with Jimena Roquero? Officially, my new dream honeymoon. This post-wedding prettiness intrigued me so, that I just had to steal a few bits of travel recs...
Spring is officially here. Which means...that Summer - and more importantly, swimsuit season - is knocking on our door. And I vow that this Spring I will actually start addressing the issue rather than waiting until the last minute and pouting because I don't want to take off my cover-up. So here are some of my favorite Spring recipes, lightened up to get us into fighting shape in no time flat. Already at your goal weight - or kind of don't care one way or another? Make sure to check out...

When we first got word the lovelies of Plum Pretty Sugar were debuting their brand spankin' new collection, PomPon, we knew something fabulous was right around the corner.

We're always on the hunt for cocktails that feel seasonal and fresh. So when Lynn at Easton Events, along with photographer Tec Pataja, sent us images from their recent harvest fest, our eyes went straight to the gorgeous Persimmon Smash cocktail. With fresh persimmon juice and a splash of St. Germaine, this is a champagne cocktail taken up a few notches.
