From Hannah Lane Photography... Ainsley and Michael’s proposal was one of the most captivating, love-filled and joyful days that we’ve ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Set up like an editorial shoot, our “bride” had absolutely no idea that this day was made for her. Leading up to the big day, we spent countless hours plotting with Michael... We talked dates, details, locations… we set up...
I'm not sure there is a city in the world that can compare to New Orleans. A city that is so rich in history, so alive, so beautifully flawed where stories dig through generations and despite hardship and pain, continue to thrive in the most warm and loving way. And this wedding - photographed by Audra Wrisley and planned by Elle Ellinghuas - bottles up...
From Blushing Joy Events... Our vision for this inspirational editorial, was to create a modern, clean, and romantic look. We were drawn to the big open windows of Gallery 308, which allowed natural light to flow in and created the perfect setting. Gallery 308 is right by the water, so we were inspired to work with a dusty blue and...
I'm all for a good pop of color and these bursts of red are beyond perfect. With a vintage chic vibe, this Brooklyn wedding wows from start to finish with color and style, and Brklyn View Photography captured...

Masterminded by Melissa Johnson of Best Friends for Frosting, it incorporates all the things she loves in one sweet little spot. The #SOBestFriendsForFrosting Airbnb is a fun and completely pinworthy extension of Melissa's...
Today is National Grandparent's Day. Which is sort of a mixed bag of emotion. Why do we need a day to celebrate the best part of our world? And yet as life gets busier and busier, a day like today is also a simple reminder that we need to slow down, to sit alongside family, to open our hearts to the life well lived of the people who came before us and learn from the lessons that only that life well lived can teach. Today, we have the most beautiful love story - a marriage of 55 years, a love...
From the Bride... As a little girl, I always dreamed of getting married in the Flagler Museum in Palm Beach, Florida. This Gilded Age mansion was once Henry Flagler's wedding gift to his wife. Once Oliver and I looked at it together, we knew, immediately that it was the place for us. With the help of an amazing team of vendors... ...
I would be lying if I said I have never, ever googled "best front door colors according to feng shui". Because I totally have; just last week in fact. And there is a whole system to picking the perfect hue. I love a good navy but for my West facing entry, that is a no go. So download a compass app on your phone and figure out which way your front door faces. Then get to painting! May the chi be a flowin, friends. Photography:...
While Style Me Pretty has always been known for the Real Weddings that we feature, there has also always been a place for an exquisitely styled inspiration shoot. Why, you ask? Well, a few reasons. For one, an inspiration shoot is the opportunity for the incredible wedding artists and vendors to show off their chops. To create, to build, to develop new trends and beauty. But we also feature these shoots because of their ability to strip down a wedding to it's basic design. So that you can...
Having a "first look" is one of the many tough wedding decisions couples face now-a-days. You and your photographer will go through all the reasons to - or not to - to suit your particular timeframe. Today, we have a bride who didn't just have one "first look"... she had three! Her grandfather.... her father.... and her groom... we love the idea and the pics from Christy Wilson Photography. From...
Normally we add a little ditty about the post we are diving into, but you know what? Shauntelle of Sposto Photography has such a good intro to this gorgeous home she captured (and I mean G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S), I'll let her take it away... San Diego, California, may not be the first locale that comes to mind when thinking Provençal-style architecture, but that wasn’t a deterrent for Dani Blasena, owner and creative...
This couple, who's meet cute happened on a soccer field, envisioned a butterfly garden come to life for their wedding day. And they totally nailed it. From the Liz Martinez wedding gown to the greenery infused invitations by Bella Figura and a whole grip of pretty florals by...
From Ambra at Query Events... Andrea and Aaron were amazing clients and an even more amazing role models. After Andrea was diagnosed with breast cancer while she and Aaron were first dating, he immediately stepped up to help care for Andrea’s two young children. He played a vital role in her successful recovery and asked her to marry him after the wonderful news came that her cancer was in remission. They share a beautiful...
It's not often that I'm at a loss for words when it comes to putting together a feature. But for this vow renewal, it took me twenty minutes to even start typing (in the best kind of way). It's so much more than a vow renewal, it's a work of art. Jen Huang's images are sweeping, soft and graceful. Camellia Floral Design crafted a melody of blooms...
Dreamy destination wedding shoots are just one of the many things we love about what we see every day on Style Me Pretty... our imaginations soar to all new heights!

Today's romantic wedding inspiration shoot, planned and designed by Sweet Love & Confettis, will take you to the shores of Lake Como, to...
Summer is probably the only season that just never feels long enough for me. So when it comes to late-August and early-September weddings, I start to miss my favorite season before it's even gone (not until September 22nd, people). This one from Tracy Enoch and Events by Kristin is totally doing that to me today and I'll be hanging onto it even when...
We've had a long running obsession with any and all things Royale Zieglar creates. She's not only the head Entertaining Maven at But First, Party but she's now adding Interior Designer extraordinaire to her long list of credentials. Peek inside her marble and blue-meets-green-meets-grey kitchen captured by Billye Donya. And so you don't have to scroll...
George Clooney isn't the only great thing about Lake Como. There's also Villa del Balbianello. It is steeped in old world romance, and insanely stunning views. Now pair that backdrop with the mastery of Kaleb Norman James and...
From the bride, Callista of Callista & Company..... When your life revolves around weddings, as mine does, it is a challenging task to plan your own in a way that feels distinct from the rest of your beautiful clients' big days. I will admit, I had to remind myself on more than one occasion that I was indeed... the Bride. With a background in fashion, I knew my dress would be a very important component of...
