We've been faced with a record-setting winter here at SMP HQ, so we couldn't think of a better way to spend a Sunday than California dreaming with a few of the gorgeous warm-weather weddings we have on queue. Starting with this picture perfect wedding from This Love Of Yours Photography. The light is so gorgeous we can almost feel it through the screen, which is why we'll be spending our morning...

Enter: Ricotta given a little extra kick with maple-bourbon whipped cream -- be still our hearts! Contributor Domesticate Me gives us this drool-worthy recipe making our weekend a little better.
Hands down, the worst part about planning a wedding is collecting all of your guest addresses. It takes forever, always involves chasing down a handful of people and adds a ton of stress to your plate! My dears, thank your lucky stars that Postable exists. They've created an easy-to-use website that collects all the addresses for...
Some weddings I just adore but struggle to explain preciously why. It's details like these oh so pretty florals by Grass Roots combined with a love that radiates, and this celebration is a prime example. Koman Photography captured what I'm stumbling to say and Karl Stelter Wedding Films made it even...
Cocktails always seem a bit more fun and festive when they come in the prettiest shade of pink and this version from Jacquelyn at Lark and Linen is infused with a medley of yummy flavors. Blackberry syrup, thyme and bubbly make this a sparkling cocktail that should most certainly be on the menu this weekend, don't you think?
The biggest night in film is almost here! And while Hollywood's starlets are sure to bring on the Oscars style, we like to think our best dressed brides here at SMP could give them a little run for their money. From embellishments to sequins, peplum to tulle, we're looking back at our Oscar-worthy wedding dresses styled to red carpet perfection. Looking for even more Oscars inspiration, we've got...

Engagement alerts are always on our radar, so when we heard Lady Gaga was rocking a new left hand ring we couldn't wait to see for ourselves. After playing it cool, she finally showed off the Lorraine Schwartz heart-shaped stunner on Instagram, and truth be told we couldn't love it more. It's exactly the non-traditional sparkler we'd expect from Gaga...
I'm starting to think that we need to see a little more ruby red in weddings. Don't you think? Red has always been a toughie, but when it's done right—it's sooo good.

While I'll never turn down bright and cheerful, there's something about moody scenes that appeal to me.

Inspired by the vintage romance of Downton Abbey, it drew me in right from the start with the gorgeous gowns from a&bé bridal. Pour yourself a glass...
