Through the years, we've featured many weddings from Michael and Anna Costa Photography, but today's might be my all-time-favorite! For lots of reasons. Cascading orchids plus an abundance of white roses... that crisp California sunshine and a positively romantic dance on the beach... well, you'll see for yourself! This...
This baby shower is so much more than your average mimosas and party games sort of shindig. There are pretzels people! And cookies. And donuts. And don't get us started on the comfort food style sandwiches. You get the gist. Imagine all of your favorite food groups paired with the prettiest styling by It's a Sparkly Life and captured by...
Every day, we feature beautiful weddings. We are lucky in that over the course of 10+ years, SMP has sort of established itself as one of the few places to share the prettiest of the pretty weddings and trust me when I tell you, there are no shortage of them. But every now and then we get a wedding that takes the word beautiful to an entirely new level. That truly takes my breath away. And this is one of those very special weddings. I can't tell if it's the exquisite photography by...
Pippin Hill has forever been my number one most favorite wedding venue here in the US. Probably in the world. It's organically stunning and because of it's innate beauty set against the Charlottesville backdrop and it's incredible bones, Pippin Hill tends to attract vendors, brides and grooms who share the classic and yet quietly joyful aesthetic.
The best of friends over a decade ago, Kiamarie and David would lose touch as their lives ventured down different paths. As they lost each other, Kiamarie would also lose her home, her job, her mother and her will to push forward through life's ups and downs. David would suffer similar hardships. As nearly a decade passed, the two would pick up the pieces of their lives and find their way back to one another as a chance meeting out one night brought an instant connection between them once again.
Putting together this wedding for you guys today was fun. Like brought me back to the very early days of SMP kind of fun where I couldn't decide which images to share because there were so many good ones. But you know what? Despite the fact that the details were GORGEOUS and the backdrop by Engaged Events and florals by...
Texas weddings can be tricky... especially if you're determined to have an outdoor ceremony. As this couple realized, they needed to shoot for Spring or Fall if they wanted any semblance of cooperation from the weather. So they took their time planning and went for a March wedding at The Creek Haus, a property of Vista West Ranch in Dripping...
We've talked about how to style your guest bedroom before, but making sure your guests have everything they need, is just as important. From extra toothbrushes to a glass of water before they turn in, make sure you check off this list before your visitors arrive! Extra Toiletries We've all done it. Forgotten our toothbrush! It's especially embarrassing when you're a guest in a home versus...

Weddings are almost always a "destination" weekend for at least a few of the guests! This Scottsdale, Arizona wedding brought friends and family from all over to celebrate Tori and Geoff's weddings ... a celebration brimming with splashes of southwestern flavor and filled with an abundance of colorful details at the Four Seasons Resort in Scottsdale.
Brace yourself... for all the envious feels. Today's home tour not only has the most gorgeous (and gigantic) waterfall island—it's got the loveliest modern-boho vibe throughout that is just so inviting. Bethany of The Posh Home has truly crafted a welcoming abode that's also realistic and livable, while turning up the volume on pretty. With photography by both...

We're knee deep in our Simply Sarah total takeover today and up next is a Charleston stunner where photography takes center stage and the beautiful low country backdrop takes each image to a new level. When I was curating this shoot for SMP, I initially began with the beautiful details from A Charleston Bride and the pretty florals by...
Sarah and Kyle were married at the historic Adamson House, right on the beach in Malibu. They fell in love with the venue because of the amazing 100+ year old tree that they were married under and the ocean views. Their Save-The Date featured a watercolor drawing of the tree and invited guests to "meet us in the garden." ~from Rebecca Yale Photography...

And Savan Photography is one of those talents. A quick search for their weddings on SMP will instantly prove to you that they are eyes behind some of our most beloved weddings. And this one - where the gorgeous bride is an...
Layering your home with pretty isn't just about finding the right pieces—it's also about knowing how to incorporate those pieces, properly. From how to make an area rug work for your room (not against it) to hanging curtains and mounting lighting, I've personally made all three of these mistakes. Have you? If so, see how to fix them below! Ceiling-Mounted Lighting Lighting makes a statement, so make sure to get that statement right with the proper measurements. For an 8 foot ceiling, aim...
We've featured many weddings at Malibu Rocky Oaks Estate Vineyards for pretty obvious, pretty breathtaking reasons. As a wedding venue, it is beyond spectacular! Andrew and Tracy's wedding, captured to perfection by Jeremy Chou Photography and Robert Michael Films has...
We rounded last week out with an elopement shoot and we're starting fresh this week with a new beautiful elopement, and I'm not mad about it. Because both of them are feet-in-the-sand and totally focused on the love. Today's shoot, styled and planned by Kelly Sweet and...
My husband and I were in a wedding last weekend and I was quickly reminded how easy guys have it. While us ladies had to start hair and makeup at 9am (for a 4pm wedding start time), my hubs went out golfing for the day... and he only had to be ready an hour-ish before the wedding. Not fair! But that doesn't mean a groom's getting ready routine isn't as important, which is why I love this inspiration from...
