Renaissance ... it is not just a person, place or period in time. It IS a feeling from deep down inside that inspires passion and timeless emotion. And this styled shoot IS a true testament to that period in time, to Italy and to the Master of artistic expression, Leonardo da Vinci. The Italian wedding dream team who came together to inspire (chiara...
The first teeny tiny wedding we featured was WAY back in 2008. It was famed photographer Elizabeth Messina's own nuptials and in my world it was GAME.CHANGING. Because it illustrated so beautifully just how luxurious and decadent a small wedding could be. That by trimming the guest list, you not only create an intimate, unbelievably special...

I'd bet if we did a poll on the most romantic movies, The Notebook might just pop up as an all-time favorite. So when I saw this "Noah and Allie" moment, with the couple in a sweet row boat on a mossy waterbed, I knew our brides were going to love this one! Sabina and Michael's storybook romance began in the most unconventional and sweep-you-off-your-feet way and the enchantment of their Monroe, NY wedding followed suit. In a sea of...

Hearing little nuggets like this bring SUCH joy to our hearts and seeing a wedding...
When I started Style Me Pretty a million years ago, I envisioned a place where mom and pop shops could sit next to celebrity planners. Where the line between editor and reader was blurred. Where we simply came together to celebrate weddings in their many forms and functions, with their million dollar budgets right alongside their backyard charm. But we've gotten away from that. And while I think you can steal ideas from any wedding and make them your own, it's even more fun to see weddings where...
Take a look at this first photo from Kelsey Combe Photography .... see that shadow in the distance? What an awesome "before the first look" shot....... Molly & Harry were sweethearts who made it official a mere 13 years after they met in high school! Their names, alone, are enough to make you know they were destined to share a lifetime together, right? Harry and Molly grew up together near the ocean and...
An average wedding ceremony lasts somewhere between 20 and 30 minutes. That's 20-30 minutes in which your closest friends and family will gather to watch you in one of the most meaningful moments of your life. And that's 20-30 minutes - despite spending two hours in hair and makeup - that those very guests will largely be staring at your back. And thus, we have partnered with one of our favorite designers ever...
