I'm not ashamed to admit I have a stack of boxes full of wedding items, from our table numbers to copies of our menus. While I do accept the fact that I'll need to sort through these items eventually, I'm hesitant, I'm a sentimental hoarder. But what to keep and what to toss? I checked in with some other recent married SMP ladies and we're sharing what we're keeping forever and what we're easily tossing aside!
Well, this is my dream. It's basically winter wedding perfection. The perfect amount of snow fall? Check. A day filled with love? Check. A seriously stylish couple? Check. A dreamy Austrian setting? Check, check and check. Add in horse drawn sleighs, a dreamy barn wedding, and these images from Birgit Hart Fotografie and film by Sequence Five and I've just set a new level for...
I've always known that I've wanted a late spring wedding (in part because that's when peonies are in season), but the more New Year's Eve weddings I see, the more I want one. And, after looking at this gorgeous and glamorous day photographed by Honey Honey Photography, you will, too. From the Bride's Pronovias gown and beaded bolero from ...
We may be in the thick of winter but this little beauty has me dreaming of sipping hot cider on a crisp fall day. Of course, that's only natural when talents like Rifle Paper Co, S.R. Hogue, Pure Joy Catering and Team Hair And Makeup are involved. It's a lesson in...
Move over caplet, there's a new lady in town and she's ready for her wedding day debut. Introducing Bridal boleros or what we'd like call THE favorite accessory. Because not only are these beauties majorly versatile, but chances are with an addition of one you're essentially getting two gowns without a wardrobe change.
I'm a big believer that a Bride should incorporate her personal style into her wedding day look. If you're the kind of Bride who dreams of getting married in a field of wildflowers, why bother with a...
We have fallen in love with many a bathroom here at SMP Living. It comes with the blogging territory. And while my future bath palace will ultimately have a soaking tub plopped down in front of a huge fireplace, I'm sure it will include a few of the gorgeous details wrapped up in this collection. Things like...
I'm what you'd call a hopeless romantic. Grand gestures, love-at-first sight, flowers just because—I love it all. So, it's probably safe to say that when I take my walk down the aisle some day, I will be doing so in a...
No Bride buys her wedding dress thinking, "I hope this goes out of style in 50 years." You want your wedding dress to look as beautiful 50 years from now in a photo album (or whatever technology the future has in store) as it does on the day of your wedding, coming down the...
As far as I'm concerned, 2016 is a time of anything goes when it comes to bridal fashion. And while we used to think of classic as a synonym for...
We use a lot of eggs in our household. From omelettes to crepes to Sunday morning muffins, and everything in between. And while this might sound like a silly how-to (doesn't everyone know how to crack an egg?), I bet you still get shells in your bowl, right? I've found this trick to be shell-free, super simple and makes me feel fancy in the kitchen. How to Crack an Egg in One...
Grace Kelly. Jackie O. Princess Dianna. Three women whose iconic wedding gowns earned their own place in history. And while we recommend you steer clear of puffy eighties' sleeves (sorry, Di!), looking to the past for big day fashion inspiration is a definite fashion "Do." From...
Consider this pretty lil' inspo the nudge you need to book a boudoir session ASAP. I mean, just look at these dreamy captures from Winsome and Wright! And since February is basically the month of lurve we happen to think that this would make the ultimate post V-day surprise for that special someone. Scroll the...
Imagine if a good ol' Texas farm house and cool modern space had a love child, it would look a little something like this gorgeous home of designer Brandi Hines. It pairs modern white, warm wood accents and touches of family all around. But the star of this show is most certainly the master bathroom. Prepare to drool over that...
Absolute berry hued perfection. That's what I'm labeling this pretty lil' inspo from Sposto Photography. A layering of saturated goodness paired with Borrowed Blu lovelies, this is one inspiration that you're going to want to pin PRONTO! The only question is, why wait? Get scrollin' and start in on the stylish gallery via...
I'm kind of at a loss for words that will do this bridal session justice. I'm pretty sure it's because every little detail in this simple, yet elegant shoot is could truly stand on their own. The gown from Gossamer is just breathtaking. The antique ring from Trumpet & Horn? Absolutely perfect. And the lovely hair pieces from ...
If you're looking for a little Italian escape today (I mean, why not?!) then you're in luck because we've got it. Martina and Giovanni planned the perfect party complete with sweet details a la Margherita Orlandi. A million thanks to Marta Guenzi Photographer for delivering destination daydreams today for this classic Villa affair is just beyond. Find your favorite...
I might be in the minority, but I am such a fan of the winter months. And winter in the mountains? Well, that's my dream. So I love seeing talented folks like Live View Studios and Michelle Wright Events embrace the beauty of the season in a way that reminds me once again why I love this season. Oh, and the florals from ...
Classic meets nautical is one of our favorite ways to say "I do" - and this elegant estate affair is most definitely topping our list of all-time faves. From the carefully crafted stylings of Always Yours Events to the beautiful navy, coral and blush color palette to the...
I started in on our Vault with these images from Thecablookfotolab and within seconds I was regretting that my new hubby and I hadn't done a day after shoot after our nuptials last June. Still riding the romantic high from their wedding the day before, these two lovebirds...
