But beyond the lush blooms, breathtaking backdrop and stunning gown is the inspiring story of love, loss, hope and happiness... and family coming together to celebrate what marriage is really all about. See it all captured brilliantly by Julia Wade in...
I connected with this Bride immediately. You see, her and I are kindred spirits, having both fallen in love with a certain F. Scott Fitzgerald years ago. So it's no surprise that she drew on the Great Gatsby's style for her spring wedding, full of...

Planning your Big Day? The most important investment you should check off your list - hire an amazing photographer. Because after you've said your vows and cut the cake, the only tangible product you're left with (other than your new husband or wife of course) are the images captured. Which is why I've asked my very own wedding photographers, the ...
This sweet couple is no stranger to the pages of SMP. We first fell in love with their super creative video save-the-date (I dare you not to tear up!) and then shared their darling engagement session set in Joshua...
This beach bungalow makes me want to jump right through my screen. I'd walk barefoot around, feeling the breeze through open windows and soaking in every colorful, happy inch. Designed by Haley Weidenbaum and debuted on Homepolish, take a...
