When a tray of deliciously pink drinks is being passed around at cocktail hour, you don't have to ask me twice! Signature cocktails win me over every time. Most notably, at summer weddings when the urge to sip on something is bit more heightened. With summer practically here, we're kicking things off with...
If you ask most anyone, I'm certain they'll agree that there isn't a beverage more quintessentially summer-esque than that of lemonade. And with the warmth of the summer season well on its way, we thought we'd do our part and round-up some of our most favorite lemonade recipes to date. From booze-infused to huckleberry puree, I'm certain you'll find a few that will more than fit your fancy. PS - A...
I've always had a heart for the classics. But this Charleston soiree is classic with an intimate, style-driven twist. With just 40 special guests to share in the magic, Katherine Miller Events designed a cozy Southern dinner party wedding like you've never, ever seen. Andrew Cebulka was on hand to document the beauty and...
Meet Nicole and Sal, a duo as cute as you could ever imagine, with a love story that is straight-from-the-movies fabulous. I'm talking a chance meeting at a birthday party, a cute pup nine months post-first date and an amazing proposal in the East Village. Oh, and then there's this crazy cool e-session captured by Robert And Kathleen Photographers, which is incredible. Join me...
M'dears, from the moment I laid eyes on this rustic gorgeousness from Carlie Statsky and Esla Events, I could not wait to share it with you. As an East Coast gal with a love for nautical New England weddings, you might never have guessed that I'm secretly obsessed with ranch weddings. And every inch of this bucolic beauty is exactly why. From the vintage touches, courtesy of ...
Take the happiest place on earth and pair it with an adorable duo who also happen to be one seriously stylish twosome and this is what you get: pure, unadulterated loveliness. Think a Tory Burch designer (she soooo is) and her dapper groom-to-be rockin' some crazy gorgeous attire while frolicking around Disney. It's beyond awesome, lovelies. See it all captured by ART IS FOR LOVERS right...
It's refreshing to see people who have their priorities in order. For Shelley and Roy, priority #1: fun! Their summer wedding was full of bright flowers (from Botanics of Melbourne) laughter, dancing, more laughter, and of course, more dancing. For a peek at the festivities sit back and enjoy the video from Purple Ribbon Weddings below. There are also some...
Have I mentioned before how much I love ART IS FOR LOVERS? Of course I have. Probably more times than I should admit, and it's all because they send us weddings like this designed by Robin Smith of Lyndsey Hamilton Events. You see, this is a wedding that totally bends all the rules, and I couldn't...
Whisper the words Erich McVey around SMP HQ, and you'll hear the room immediately fall silent so we can all see the next gallery of pretty he sent over. Well, we could barely believe our eyes when we got our hands on this one. Showcasing the stunning, and I mean stunning headpieces by the super talented Emily Riggs Bridal, every image...
Every now and then, I come across a wedding that sweeps me off my feet—not for the details, but for the all-around love, joy and happiness that just oozes from it. The gathering of family and friends, the tears of happiness, the moments you want to live in forever... This Italian lake celebration from ...
As beautiful as this wedding is, and believe it's heavy on the beauty, it's even more so because it's so, so timeless. A classic rendition of white dress, old church, a sea of pretty pink blooms by Petal Pushers and a madly in love couple. But behind all that beauty lies a team of talented vendors like planning by Joyful Details and...
Though I'll never deny my love affair for all things pink and sparkly, my heart and soul belongs to camp neutral. Organic inspired vases and vessels, handmade jewelry and unique bits and baubles make me weak in the knees. And New York City shop, Still House, caries all that and a whole lot more. With images from Sharon Radisch, we're going behind the scenes...
Here at SMP, we're totally smitten with anything and everything from the photo mavens at Shutterfly. Our current obsession? Shutterfly Photo Books and Premium Wedding Albums which are the perfect — and most beautiful — way to capture and personalize...
M'dears, what you're about to feast your wedding-loving eyes on is complete gorgeousness. And of course, it would be coming from our darling friend Rhiannon of Hey Gorgeous Events.

I feel like I'm going to sound like a broken record soon but I am so excited for al fresco meals that I simply can't help it. Living in Canada, the window for eating outdoors is shortlived and you'd better believe I plan on taking every opportune moment to dine under the sun. My new inspiration: JEM Events' post-wedding, elegant brunch. Captured by ...
I can tell you one thing: after perusing the gorgeous images in this beautiful Seattle engagement session, I'm thinking Discovery Park e-shoots need to be a permanent member of our lineup. Because, really, what's better than an entire day of love-fest soaking, complete with breathtaking views and sun-frolicking. Answer: absolutely nothing. See it all captured by Momentous Image right...
We are seeing a new glamour trend popping up in the wedding world. Imagine glittering gold mixed with a rustic barn setting or, in this case, sequins paired with nautical infused beach inspiration. It's that unexpected sparkle crafted by Caitlin Moran, with florals by Petal & Print, crazy good stationery and signage by ...
I'm truly convinced that dining beneath the stars is the only way to celebrate your big day. That is, if you are lucky enough to live in the always-amazing California, where sunshine and gorgeous weather reign supreme. And if you add some sweet DIY details and an amazing locale (see: stunning private residence) to all of the aforementioned, it's a gallery of pure pretty. See it all captured by ...
After spending the past few days in the Rockies for engage!14, I've found myself with elegant mountain weddings on the brain. So truth be told, these winter ski resort nuptials captured by Christina Louise couldn't have come at ANY better time. Decked in blooms by Revelstoke Florist and a blanket of snow as far as the eye can see...
This bride admits getting a November wedding in Chicago to feel "warm" is a challenge, but with the help of Clementine Custom Events, florals from Studio AG, and a significant number of candles, she most certainly pulled it off. Christy Tyler Photography did a lovely job capturing the event so...
