Some of the best moments are the unexpected, don't you think? The un-planned, un-fussed-over, perfectly imperfect moments. Case in point? This sweet Groom had to change his proposal plan direction because his lovely Bride had plans to surprise him with an anniversary weekend away. Basically, they love each other to bits and are the cutest duo ever. And their wedding from Shelli Alred and ...
Everyone has a different aspect of their wedding with which they are particularly preoccupied. For some of us it's the dress, the food, or the ceremony, and for some of us (raises hand) it's the party. This is a HUGE day and I am a firm believer in an all-out celebration. Photographed by Jillian Mitchell, this Punta Mita bash is also totally gorgeous. You can see the whole pretty-packed fiesta ...
I love all weddings, I really do, but Southern Weddings just so happen to pull the hardest on my heartstrings.

Catch even more captured by...
Truth be told, we love a good cocktail hour around these parts. Signature drinks, lawn games, mingling with guests... it's the kick-off of many a wedding bash and a great way to set the tone for your reception. A simple way to do that is with a few fun paper goods! We're loving Wedding Paper Divas new reception goodies, from personalized coasters and napkins to song request and advice...

Brides who rock cowgirl boots, floral crowns and ear-to-ear grins, are pretty freaking awesome. Brides like this one who define boho-rustic to a T. Because when you pair gigantic pink peonies with antlers and log slices for the prettiest party around at Della Terra Mountain Chateau, and get to marry your best friend on a serene mountain, it calls...
Around these parts she's known as our LBB extraordinaire, but today our dear Melissa - also the voice behind Yours Truly - is sharing a look inside her very own engagement. It's a day at the sea made for two captured by ...
There are few things I love more than a hot-out-of-the-oven dessert. It’s the way I was raised. If you’re going to do dessert, do it well! That’s why I often forgo desserts at restaurants. All too often they disappoint. My husband always blushes with embarrassment when I ask if it it’s house made. All too often the answer is no. Do dessert right and treat yourself and your guests to a chocolate cobbler they’ll be talking about for years! They don’t need to know how simple it...

If I could, I would crawl into these gorgeous images from Naomi Kenton and never leave. Because the styling and florals from Amber Persia are next level pretty. With the oldest barn in England setting the scene, this gallery is one you'll want to sit with awhile, and...
To be totally honest I'm kind of obsessed with this Tennessee shindig. Filled to the brim with Afloral silk flowers, Chinese lanterns, and adorable pups, Jessica Ranae captured each moment to a perfect T. Everything from the cake to the Bride's veil were made by those dearest to the darling couple, and you can take a peek...
I love this elopement story. First off, two artists tying the knot under the entwined branches and lemon trees at Echo Park is pure romance in my book. And when they serendipitously bumped into the lovely and talented Betsi Ewing on the way to their wedding dinner? Well that's a fabulous story, I'd say, and makes for...
Oh, to be a guest at this Boca Raton wedding. To experience a day filled with seamless details and old world charm, all nestled in the stunning courtyard of The Addison. Of course, soaking in the florals by Xquisite Events and that Momofuku Milk Bar cake...
We've done our fair share of behind the scenes here at SMP. But today, we have something even cooler. Because when one artist - photographer, Jen Wojcik - goes behind the scenes with another artist - Erica at MakeUp 10.11 for her new series Artists at Work, well, that's when the magic...
