The weekend's practically here, but before we all jet off to indulge in our candy cravings, we'd like to partake in a little "Social Hour" - SMP style. Let's take a look back on all the sweet things that caught your interest this week on Pinterest and Instagram, from cakes almost too amazing to cut, to dresses we can't stop swooning. It's Friday, so come...
A little bit of rock, a little bit of romance, this black and gold decked Vancouver fete is edgy-chic to boot and I'm loving every badass inch. It's just the dose of enchanting romance that All Hallows' Eve deserves. Briar Johnston of Epic Events left her gorgeous touch on this day, while All Dolled Up Studio glammed up the striking Bride, who by the way rocked a skull garter, hand-dipped black veil and black...
Now that your Halloween sugar high is in full effect, we decided to round out this Friday with one of the prettiest white-on-white weddings we've ever come across. It's what happens when My Bride Story takes the style reigns for a day anchored in classic design + glam winter whites, and the captures from Erin Hearts Court? Well...
Dapper Gentleman and Ladies take note! Theme parties are not just for girly girls. This 30th birthday bash is centered around scotch and cigars and a really good cake. What's not to love? It's masculine, polished and all crafted by Ashley Lindzon Events. Check out the full gallery photographed by ...
This dashing shoot right here? It's the definition of old New York City charm. With a seamless design and vision from Manifest Events and Full Aperture Floral, it's literally packed with steal-worthy details. Details like the subtly masculine, playful palette, olive branches paired with...
If I'm being honest, "elegance" isn't the first thing that comes to mind when I think of a Halloween shoot. But thanks to the style-driven vision of Heather Benge Events, we're proving this spooky-scary holiday can lend some pretty gorgeous inspiration for the Big Day and beyond. F. Dellit Designs put together the blooms, ...
The lovely Stephanie and I were chatting, and we've come to the conclusion (especially after seeing this gem prettied up by TOAST Santa Barbara!) that we absolutely must come up with an excuse to visit Sunstone Winery. It's impeccably gorgeous. And it just so happened to be the change of...
We spotted this cocktail over on this wedding and knew we needed the recipe. Aside from the gorgeous jewel toned hue, the muddled blackberry was enough to send us clear over the cocktail edge. And seeing that today is a day of celebrating (right?), we figured why not do Halloween up right with some seriously amazing cocktail treats. Photos by...
I fell in love with the Pacific Northwest on a recent trip, and this wedding just reinforces my growing desire to return. With the stunning natural beauty, gorgeous pink peonies and roses, and some fabulous sparkly shoes, I can't stop staring. Enjoy the full gallery by Nikki Closser and don't miss out on the beautiful video by...
One consensus I hear while planning my own nuptials is that the day goes by in a blur. So why not take note from this darling couple and their after wedding portraits - I mean, any excuse to slip on that Monique Lhuillier and a flower crown by Tango & Fox Trot again? Yes, please! Through the haze ...
I kind of want to be these people. One, their engagement session was in the Bahamas. Two, they are drop dead gorgeous. Three, they had Julie Cate Photography behind the lens to snap up some seriously envy-worthy shots. In the lottery of life, they are totally winning, and this gallery proves it. From...
I am a hopeless romantic - so it's no surprise that I love this couple's story. By a twist of fate their paths crossed, and their connection undeniable (as you can tell from the gorgeous images by Amy Arrington!). After a year of long distance romance traversing the country, a proposal took place, and luckily we get to share it with you today. So cozy up to some coffee and scroll through the seasonal...
When I first flipped through the photos of this family farm affair...well, Vermont's stunning scenery kind of said it all. The Groom's father officiated the ceremony, creating a day layered with personal moments, and Jessica Garmon captured every detail from start to finish. Sit back and let your mind wander as you soak up these green hills in the ...
Not gonna lie, I teared up big time (like to the point of sniffles) after watching these two commit their love to each other in Moving Films' beautiful film. The Groom's reaction was more than I could take—it made my heart swell, to say the least. And what made this day even more special were the little touches, the infusion of family and friends and of course, the gorgeous style and design. It's the perfect way to start off...
I love a good classic first birthday party. Especially those that are sweet in design but timeless in execution. Take for example this "Never Stop Exploring" celebration. Laura from Lace and Arrow Designs crafted and photographed the party for her son, pulling together some awesome DIY projects to make it a bit more...
Truth be told, we struggle with Halloween around these parts. Spooky and scary doesn't always equal stylish. BUT we will never turn away a good reason to celebrate, so today, in honor of this ghoulish holiday, we will raise our goblets filled with witches brew (aka champagne) to some of the most stunning black gowns you ever did see on SMP. We promise they'll give you the good kind of chills.
A bride's wedding day is her chance to look exceedingly glamorous, and there's no better way to stand out from the crowd than with a gown dripping in beads. A beaded gown makes a bride sparkle for her walk down the aisle and always looks luxurious. With so many lovely choices out there, we pulled together 11 of our favorites from our amazing new...
