From this moment on, whenever I hear the word "magical," I will immediately think of this gorgeous engagement session captured by Bird And Boy Photography. Because if these stunning, sun-filled images aren't the epitome of all things magical, then I truly don't know what is. Think flowing fields, rays of light and one seriously adorable puppy. See it all right here in the...
For those of us at SMP HQ, where it seemingly hasn't stopped snowing since November, we crave getting lost in weddings just like this beauty from Neringa Ridges at Dreams La Romana Resort & Spa. It's like getting a big ol dose of pretty and vitamin D at the same time, and it really doesn't get better than that. This entire gallery is like a virtual vacation, so pack your...
When talents like Judy Pak and True Event join forces, magic inevitably happens. And this Gedney Farm stunner is proof. With a perfectly pastel palette, beautiful blooms by Petal Floral Design (the escort card display is my new favorite) and one seriously beautiful couple...

I've been renting for 5 + years now and the designer that resides within me has been dying to make a few major changes (hello ugly kitchen!) Turning a blind eye has been no easy feat, but unfortunately this type of work isn't an option. That said, being comfortable in "my" home is imperative. So with that in mind, I've rounded up 10 things you can do to a rental that will leave your space feeling fancy in no time flat. So now we've got to ask...what are your favorite ways to gussy up...
When I was a little girl, I read The Secret Garden over and over, always imagining how beautiful it'd be to walk through the garden. And today, I'm getting something even better. Its a ridiculously beautiful winery wedding from Elisabeth Millay (does it get any better??) and it's made my day - no, year.

Cross the talents of Rylee Hitchner, Kelly Kaufman and Joy de Vivre, and gorgeous things will happen - I promise you that. Just take this dreamy Provence-inspired shoot infused with an organic sense of elegance all along the way.
I'm of the belief that champagne should not be reserved for celebrations alone. In other words? There is absolutely nothing wrong with sipping bubbly on the regular. Life's too short to wait for weddings and New Years, if you ask me! Which is why I'm thrilled that the idea of champagne cocktails is becoming more mainstream. And this beauty, from JoPhoto? It's my new favourite.
To say I am speechless over this stunning Hummingbird Nest Ranch affair would be a serious understatement, because this wedding? It's left me completely at a loss for words. From the talented team of vendors (think Laura Hooper, TEAM Hair and Makeup + ...
I'm just a tad bit obsessed with this bridal session. Ok, that's a lie. I'm full on obsessed. The florals from Sego Floral are just beyond, the couple has style for miles and the images from Mandi Nelson are frame-worthy to say the least. It all makes for one stunning gallery, and...
The Art Institute is one of my absolute favorite spots in the whole Windy City. Seriously, it's a gem. So when you plop the most gorgeous Indian wedding in the center of one such locale? Let's just say seriously good things are bound to result. Sarah Postma Photography snapped every inch of this cultural affair, and you can swoon one stunning photo at a time...
When it comes to styles, nautical always has my heart. I can never pin point just why I love it so, but when I see a shoot like this one from Kim Kalyn Photography, French Kiss Events, Tuktu Paper Co and Clare Day Flowers I basically have to...
I've been vacationing in the Outer Banks for years, and let me tell you, it's my all-time favorite beach destination. And for couples wanting to tie the knot in this oceanfront oasis, you won't want to miss the Sanderling Resort Wedding Showcase on Saturday, March 15, 2014! From 11am-4pm, the gorgeous waterfront Sanderling Resort in Duck, North Carolina will host...
If you came here looking for what getting married is all about, you've found it. These two have quite the love story (see below) and the wedding uniting them was chock full of so many handmade, heartfelt, beautiful details I could cry.

I think we can all agree that tying the knot in France is one of the coolest ways to say "I do." Especially when that wedding is in the lovely locale known as Lake Geneva and includes DIY florals, sailboats and breathtaking views at every turn. That's what we here at SMP call "wedding perfection" and you can see every beautiful moment captured by Ana Lui Photography Studio right...
This wedding looks like soooo much fun. A sort of nautical meets rustic meets garden party style affair with lawn games, fabulous DIY details and some of the loveliest bouquets from McQuade's Market that you will ever have the privilege to see. Add in an entire gallery of gorgeous images from CLY CREATION and you can bet you'll be spending hours upon hours in the...
First of all, I will never get over this Kathryn Conover Couture custom gown. But even beyond that dream, this wedding shocked me when I realized it was DIY. It's so stinking beautiful, and obviously so, captured by Divine Light Photography, that I've been sitting here quite honestly in awe for far longer than I'd like to admit. From the stunning bride... Our Hudson Valley...
The last time I watched the Oscars I was in awe of all the glowy faces and perfect cat eyes being spotted on the red carpet. The stars of Hollywood may have the benefit of having a professional make up artist and hairstylist at their disposal for looking glam, but this doesn't mean we can't achieve a fun Oscar-esque look of our own! For more DIYs, head on over to my blog...
Let's be honest - it's hard to beat a homespun wedding.

And the object of my latest handcrafted wedding affection? This Casa Reta "I do" inspired by the perfect picnic. Merari Photography snapped...
