Having hosted not one, not two but five birthdays so far for my little girl, I'm always on the hunt for inspiration that doesn't feel like your run of the mill party. Enter...Hannah's ADORABLE ice cream parlor party, designed by Pink Martini Events, where her two number one fans played ice cream scooper and the smiles that ensued could have melted any cone full.
From the second I locked eyes with this Jersey shore labor of love, I knew we were in for something pretty special. Just take a peek at the gallery from Maggie Harkov for yourself.

San Ysidro Ranch and its famous lavender field pretty much guarantees a gorgeous day but it doesn't get there all on its own. Behind the scenes of this affair is a team worthy of all star status.

I've read Peppermint Bliss for as long as I can remember - stalking Bailey's incredible eye for style, design, color and all out whimsy. So when she launched her bedding collection, Biscuit, and subsequent brick and mortar shop + design studio, well, I was standing first in line as her #1 fan. And this project that is perhaps her best work to date! Captured by...
If you know me even a little bit, you know that title caught my eye and stole my heart. A true Anglophile, the traditional English wedding is my ultimate weakness. Especially when it's this beautiful and when JoPhoto was there to capture every beautiful moment! From the photographer... On October 5, 2013, we photographed Morven and Steve's...

You’re going to have to take a step out of your comfort zone. But it'll be fun - I promise! When I started the search for my...
To say I'm excited about this next DIY would be the understatement of the century. Do you know how many times us SMP girls have requested our in house crafter to break-out her DIY skills on those kind of pricey but oh so fabulous floor poufs that you see everywhere? Probably about a million. I'm sure she obliged, if only to allow us to get on with our lives. And check out the rest of our DIYS here!

Dallas weddings never fail to wow. That's a given. The folks down there just seem to know how to mix sweet with stylish, and they never miss the change to sprinkle in a bit of glam wherever they can. That's why this beauty captured by Amy Herfurth Photography is making me smile from ear to ear right now, and you can join me in doing just that right here.

This is one of those totally fun weddings that I sooo wish I had been invited to. A seaside extravaganza that is one seriously pretty party.

See every vibrant moment captured by Zev Fisher right...

My dears, this wonderful, amazing, talented and generous gal you're about to meet quickly became a fave of mine. Not only for her work but most importantly, the values behind it. Perry Vaile is indeed all of these things. Wonderful to her sweet couples, amazing behind the lens, talented beyond words and generous with her love and passion. Fellow LBBer, Erich McVey captured her whole...
To be totally honest, I was never the girl who could pull of that cool billowing, boho sort of look. Preppy and polished is much more my style, but that doesn't mean I don't long to live vicariously through those who can. And this Minnesota bride? Well, she's sort of my hero. With a wedding that embodies all my boho dreams brought to life, I could spend forever in Paper Antler's photos ...
