I always wanted a tree house. It's a dream that disappeared when I was 10-years-old, right when we moved from our home on Preston Drive with the large oak tree in the front yard. But now, after soaking in this gorgeous shoot from Matthew Ree, I'm thinking a tree house isn't such a bad idea. Because this, loves, is the epitome of pretty and you can see it all right here in the...
Last month I made my first trek to Toronto and the top must-stop spot on my list? Bobbette & Belle. AKA the cutest little pastry/coffee joint you'll ever visit and the setting of this crazy sweet (literally!) engagement. Bespoke Weddings By Michelle.K planned the pretty, Amsis Photography came along to capture...
Sometimes I look at a wedding, and I read the couples' story, and I just can't fight the smile that forms on my face. This is just such a wedding. It has so much heart, I can almost feel it through the screen, and you can definitely see the love in the beautiful images from Rachel Joy Photos. With darling DIYs, a bridal party that dances down the aisle, and an entire guest list that couldn't be more excited to see these two...
I always look at the Groom. At the moment when the entire guest list turns to focus on the Bride as she walks down the aisle, I turn my head in the opposite direction to look at her soon-to-be husband. And it never fails to make me shed a tear or two. But I do believe Julie Livingston captured one of my favorite reactions to date of this Groom's first look at his Bride. It's a look of overwhelming emotion, and that...
One thing I completely understand: falling in love with a wedding venue years before you are even engaged. Especially if it's a breathtaking locale like the Tidewater Inn, a place just made for saying "I do" and dancing the night away. Add in a fab team of vendors like Melanie Bennett, Seasonal Flowers and ...
Living in England seems pretty amazing. But living in England and packing up for a week long wedding at a French Chateau – even better.

Living here in New England, it's basically a crime I have yet to explore the beauty of Nantucket for myself. But after viewing this oh-so-classic Nantucket affair from Clark + Walker, you best believe it's now on the tippy top of my list. With stunning waterside elegance and an all-white ballroom reception that will leave your jaw dropped, there's no better way to start your Monday than hitting "play" on below. ...
Can I just start by saying how lucky we are to be friends with the amazing team at Carla Ten Eyck Photography. It's not often that we're not completely captivated by their stunning imagery and today's two-ceremony affair is absolutely no exception. With a traditional Western ceremony and an...
If you ask me, Cinco de Mayo is one of those holidays where calories don't count. Think of it as a one-day excuse to indulge in as much chips, guac and margaritas as you like, all while swooning festive inspiration like this. Charla Storey Photography, The Southern Table and Sugar Bee Sweets are just a few of the...
Happy Cinco de Mayo dear SMPers! As you all know, we take celebrations (and food) pretty seriously around here. So much so that we resurrected some of our favourite Mexican inspired dishes solely for this occasion. And if I'm being honest, I'd happily sustain myself on Abby's guacamole and Yours Truly's roasted salsa, for the rest of my days! So if you missed em' the first time, nows your chance... 3 Ripe Avocados...
Wanting to pay homage to all of the special places that were such an amazing part of their relationship, these two sweeties travelled from the hustle and bustle of NYC to the sunny shores of California and back again.

Is there anything better than a summer wedding on the California coastline? Answer: not much! Just have a look at this La Venta Inn affair so beautifully captured by Ryon:Lockhart Photography. It's the epitome of So Cal lovin' but this is only the tip of the iceberg, my friends.
I've seen my share of themes in the years I've worked at SMP but I've never come across one as unique as this; a wedding fashioned after the couple's favorite show "How I met Your Mother." Cute, right? Except they took it one step further and crafted a day around " How I Met My Other". And it's beyond adorable with fun stationery by Five13 woven throughout, the mid-century modern details of ...
If I had taken only a peek at this pretty from Monica Roy, I'd never have guessed it an intimate elopement. The details are that of a full on wedding, but made for only two, and it's oh-so-lovely. The touch of bohemian in the Bride's intricate BHLDN dress and floral crown, pop of orange in the lush garden setting and the prettiest coastal views have me wanting to spend my Saturday afternoon in...

And thanks to The Purple Tree, 24 Carrots, Wildflower Linens and a whole crew of fabulous vendors, it's easier than ever. Simply pop on your most stylish hat and peruse the gallery...
When I lived in Boston, I ran by the gorgeous Hyatt Regency Cambridge almost every single day, and I used to think about the all gorgeous parties that it must host (because, let's be honest, that is always on my mind). With the sweeping views of the Charles River and the breathtaking Boston skyline and options for your event come rain or shine, it is the definition of the perfect venue - proving all my day dreams true...

I'm one of those lucky ladies who happened to know within weeks that my love was "the one." So an eight-month whirlwind courtship? I love it. Especially when it's the story behind one seriously adorable duo who tackled their rustic California shindig all the way from London... and did so with the help of Helios Images, Karen Huckleberry Designs + amazing family...
