Jacob and I met on none other than TINDER when the app was in its infancy. We knew from the moment we ‘swiped right’ that something special was in the air and have been inseparable ever since we locked eyes! Jacob proposed to me at our home in Dallas in the most perfect, intimate, profession of love surrounded by our fur babies (and lots of wagging tails) - as I like to joke, who would have thought that TINDER could have sparked such a wildfire!! ~from the Bride

The beautifully talented Shuantelle of Sposto Photography has taken over Style Me Pretty today with not one but two absolutely stunning weddings and a full spread over on Instagram. And for her first masterpiece, we're sailing the seas to Sayulita, Mexico and basking in the lovely of this laid-back but classically gorgeous fete. With...
It's weird that I have a crush on Camille Styles. I know that. I'm a grown woman with three children and girl crushes should be a thing of the past. But I just love her. She's obviously beautiful and talented and all that. But she also happens to live my dream life in the most gorgeous home ever in Austin, Texas and seems to always have just...
After getting cozy in Sposto Photograpahy's first wedding today (PS. they are taking over SMP so make sure to check out Insta for even more pretty), we're moving things Stateside with this SoCal celebration photographed to artful perfection. It's warm and intimate and real and filled with details that are equal parts editorial and...
Mia and Sean's destination wedding took place in an elegant and airy loft space located facing the famous Arc de Triomphe in Paris! It was a dream come true fo Mia and Sean who loved weekending in Paris. The day of the wedding included visiting the original Ladurée, Mia's favorite sweets bakery, as well as Coco Chanel's original atelier. A stroll through les jardins and plaza du Palais Royal led to more emotional hugs and tears, before arriving at their venue. Le Pavilion Etoile. An intimate...
We talk a lot about details on Style Me Pretty. But it's never just about the details. It's about the story. The love. The power of the imagery, the depth of the moments. It's about marrying this whole journey of planning a wedding with the elements that make your relationship so unique and special. This wedding, photographed beautifully by Amy Pinder, is the perfect example of how one couple built a celebration...
Lexie and Ian's "Best Day Ever!" was the perfect July send off! These two planned their entire wedding in two short weeks from Hawaii. Even when the threat of rain dashed their plans for an outdoor ceremony, they didn't let it ruin their day. With a 14 ft. tall American flag welcoming guests into the reception, this military wedding was full of red, white and blue details. The loose greens and white blooms in the bouquets and centerpieces completed the simple yet elegant look for Lexie's dream...
My little guy is only 15 months and although I do not want to rush time in any way, I'm already saving ideas for all stages of his room as he grows into a sweet young man. This fun bedroom Stephanie Kraus designed for her 8-year-old son, Chris, is now on that list. I was so honored to design along Steph for the One Room Challenge and...
The Fourth has always been a special time for my husband and I. Twelve summers ago, he took me on his parents boat for the first time to watch the fireworks from the ocean. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was such a memorable time for the both of us, that we chose to get married on July 2nd, three years ago. And although this stunning e-sesh from Jen Huang has nothing to do with the 4th (it was actually inspired by...
Evan called me in a slight panic. He had carefully curated every detail for his proposal to Emily aside from securing a photographer. I agreed to capture the engagement purely based on his enthusiasm and eager insistence over the phone. There was no doubt from that first conversation with Evan that he was smitten with sweet Emily. Still, seeing that love take shape during the proposal and wedding day was nothing short of epic. I practically begged these two to let me capture the wedding after...
Monique and Tony are warming my soul today. Not only was their vow renewal a second chance to say I do, it was a long awaited opportunity to capture their love again after being disappointed with their original wedding photos. They did just that. Their love is deep and full and you can feel that pouring from the imagery by Renee Hollingshead. With a bit of help from...
If I had to permanently dress my home up for just one holiday year round, it'd hands down be The Fourth. Classic blues, stripes, pops of elegant red... and of course, loads of white. Sign me up. After curating this little roundup, I'm already brainstorming ways to do just that. One look at these subtle patriotic home moments and you might want to hop on board too. Keep scrolling to shop some fave red, white and blue home decor to get the look!

Katy and Phil flew all the way from the UK to get married in NYC! They wanted the urban New York City as their backdrop and just have an small intimate yet exciting destination wedding. Their families also came to support their marriage. Katy is a florist from the UK so her florals and photography were an important part of the day. Along with getting that NYC grittiness with murals and graffiti, we also were able to luck out with a 2 -day pop up ice cream shop from MILK LA that was happening in...
My daughter got her big girl room when she turned three. We moved the crib, I brought it a cute rug and I added some fun artwork that that was a little less baby and of course, she got a fancy new bed. And for a full year, for everyone that walked through our front door, she asked if she could show them her new room. A big girl room is a big deal. And when your mom is an interior designer? It's an even bigger deal. Just as Meg over at...
Do you guys ever wonder how we choose the weddings that we share on SMP? What sets one wedding apart from another? Why do we send 'yes' to publish some and not to others that are equally as beautiful!?! Most of the time, it's a gut feeling. Other times, it's something we've heard on the highlight film or something we've seen in the decor. I can tell you straight up on this wedding, there are two things that made us fall in love. The beautiful imagery from...
From Marco Caputo Films... The wedding of Feiping Chang, an Instagram fashion star and founder of the lifestyle website xoxoFei.com, and financier Lincoln Li spanned over three incredible days in June of 2017. After scouting wedding locations, they fell in love with Villa Lysis. The local government had never allowed a wedding to be...
From Vanessa, the Bride... Our wedding was in a town in Florence called Barberino Val D'elsa, the perfect setting for our intimate Tuscan wedding. We married on September 5th 2017, and celebrated our reception at Borgo Petrognano. What made our wedding special was not only the setting and the love we received from our friends and family; but also that our vision was brought to life. From the catering, music, flowers and lighting; everything was perfect and exactly how we pictured it when we...
I'm convinced California has the best wedding venues in the world (sorry fellow east coasters, we've got some beauties too!). Not only because they're purely stunning, like Fairmont Grand Del Mar... but because they emulate some of the most breathtaking destinations around the world—like this old-world Mediterranean vibe happening in today's inspiration from ...
Tiffani Theissen has been moving and shaking into not only one of the most beautiful, talented ladies around...she's kind of one of the coolest. With a new book coming out called Pull Up a Chair October 2nd (it's filled with the kind of recipes and ideas that make you want to kick off your shoes and stay a while - you can pre-order ...
From Jenna McElroy's Bride... I knew I wanted my wedding to be in Austin, with beautiful hills and greenery for an outdoor ceremony. Kindred Oaks was ideal for its gorgeous archway and covered dining area - which, it turned out, we needed! Our priest, a dear family friend, had to rush the ceremony to beat the rain, and in a photo finish, the last guest just made it inside before it started pouring buckets. Fifteen minutes...
