Emma and Will were married on July 8th in Norwich, Vermont. The ceremony took place in the picturesque backyard of a family home and was officiated by a long time family friend. The groom's cousin played guitar and sang during the ceremony - including when Emma and her dad walked down the aisle to Tom Petty's Wildflowers. Moments after the ceremony ended the skies opened up! And guest scampered to get under umbrellas and on busses to head to...
Did you all tune into the gorgeous results of this year's One Room Challenge back in May? Not only was I super honored to be involved in the challenge, but I was also seriously wow-ed by all of the beautiful rooms crafted by fellow designers and enthusiasts. Case in point? This uber sweet nursery...
Zac Posen is one of those designers who simply knows how to make a girl look her most spectacular best. So when he decided to partner with the bridal powerhouse that is David's Bridal (fun fact: they literally dress 1 out of every 3 brides in...
Dana and David were married in an intimate beach ceremony at The Hotel Del Coronado in Coronado, CA. The couple frequently took beach vacations and so the decision to share this love of theirs with close friends and family was an easy choice. Their wedding captured the couple’s laid-back personalities complete with beach bonfires, s’mores, a lounge area, and dancing under the moonlight with the ocean as a backdrop. See more...
Bianca and Justin's celebration gave me chills when I first opened the beautiful gallery from Sally Pinera. The best kind of chills. Their day doesn't feature a super cool backdrop or a must-pin DIY, but it doesn't need to. It stands stunningly on it's own (with ridiculously pretty florals from Ariel Dearie, of course). Classy and timeless, taking a...
At first, you might mistake this kids party for a mini-sized wedding. I did. It's just that good. Elegant, yet playful—Shaw Events, Mums Garden Floral and the entire vendor team really outdid themselves with a bunny theme that is just too cute to boot. "Pin the tail on the bunny"? Dead. How ADORABLE? You can bet your bunny tail I'll be pinning every last...
An incredible wedding organized by Stephanie from Weddings of Excellence in Provence and her team. Kim and Karim came down from New York City to get married in beautiful Provence, in the south of France and their love was absolutely breathtaking. A couple this cute and friendly will never be forgotten. Their attention to details was amazing, from the room for bride prep, to the table dressing and church...

Okay so let's break this down. The week after your wedding you are A. probably looking like the best version of yourself. The crunches paid off and the glow is still fresh and new. B. you are likely in one of the most spectacular locations you've ever been. And c. you are feeling THE LOVE. Like legit feeling the love. It's probably the best time in your adult life to have a photographer on hand. To capture the real magic. Honeymoon shoots are officially a thing and photographers like...
From Jainé at Brklyn View Photography... Meredith and Tyler's wedding day started out with the brisk tail winds of a remaining hurricane. Luckily, though, blue skies prevailed and their outdoor beach ceremony ended up being Meredith's dream come true! Nestled amongst the private beaches in the Hamptons, they exchanged vows in front of close friends and family oceanside -- with a breathtaking sunset in the background.
I met Molly a few years back when I interviewed her for AOL Build. Let me tell you a little about her. A. She is STUN.NING. Clearly, because she is a Super Model and all that. But also because her skin glows, her eyes sparkle and she smiles so authentically that you just know she's the real deal. B. She knows her shit. She may be a fancy pants actress but when it comes to being...
If you took my personality and somehow translated completely into a wedding...this is what I would look like. The lovely photographer, Shannon Moffit, literally never disappoints but this little gem that she sent our way? Yeah, it's like really good. A splash of modern, a splash of hippie, joy and love and FUN permeating every image. This wedding - designed by...
Can I make a confession? Although I'll never really grow tired of neutrals, I'm kind of dying to see more color in the wedding fashion world... to see a shift where bold and bright challenge a sea of blush, weddings where brides rock a bright red dress or bridesmaids don beautifully rich blues. Not in an all-up-in-your-face 80's prom kind of way, but a classy, own-it kind of way. Like THIS...
From Magdalena Studios... We photographed Katie and Tom's engagement session in an art gallery in Philadelphia. Katie is a stylist at Free People, and Tom used to be in a band called The Starting Line. They are recently engaged, so we put together an engagement session collaboration with BHLDN and some really unique pieces along with a flower install...
We've featured weddings and inspiration shoots from all over thew world—New York to Paris, Kauai to Bali and everything in between. But today's unassuming destination selected by Billy Folchetti, founder of Luxe Paris Events for this styled story, is always a refreshing sight. Billy says it best, "The elements that draw us to Morocco are simple—the people first and foremost. The culture is fascinating, the cuisine is divine, and the juxtaposition of...
From the Bride... LUCK, What is it? Where do we find it? Does it Find Us? Or Is it always present and we just help nurture it along into something magical, transformative and unforgettable? In essence were we creating LUCK ourselves? For Us it will forever be all of the ABOVE, and Our Wedding was pure spectacle of Just Pure LUCK!!!! See our short wedding film from Angelo La Torre and you will feel it too... [iframe...
I remember a few of my friends being shocked to hear that another friend was going to wear a ballgown to her beach wedding. I, of course, loved the idea. Because I don't believe that you HAVE to do anything. While I do believe in using your venue as inspiraton, that doesn't mean that ballrooms have to be stuffy, beaches have to be casual or barns have to be rustic. Magic often happens when styles don't make perfect sense and yet, it's so obvious that they work. Like today's little slice of...
I first spotted Erin Kestenbaum's home while binging on instagram and double fisting a big ole glass of red wine. I am constantly amazed at the rabbit hole of incredible bloggers that one can go down and how long I can actually make said binge last (not so much on the vino), finding one beautiful home after another. Anyway, it was this...
My number one priority with this new SMP, is in taking care to build a site where everyone - no matter your age, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, budget or beliefs - feels at home. When I came across Kate and Maya's breathtakingly beautiful wedding over on Jackson Grant's insta feed, I basically begged to share...
Every year at the start of June I write out a summer bucket list. So far, it's shaping up to be a happy season-to-be with s'mores, pool parties, a guac off, beach bocce and more on the list. And you can bet your booty I'll be adding this Sonoma-inspired picnic crafted and captured by Garrett Richardson and his love, Meg, to the warm weather agenda. Keep reading for their tips on how to recreate your own! From...
