I chose this wedding to feature for one, because of the blissfully gorgeous photographs that Tanja Lippert snapped. But also because I am kind of obsessed with the color palette. I la-la-love the sophisticated grays paired with the pops of green and healthy dose of whites. It's clean, it's elegant, it's modern. LOVE.
It's it beautiful! The wedding was held in Calistoga where basically everything is beautiful...
A lot of you know that I live in the beautiful city of Boston, Massachusetts. But for me, it's Texas that will always feel like home. And when I saw this rehearsal dinner that the fabulous Courtney Caplan designed, I instantly became homesick for the Texas style that I know so well. And really hungry for guacamole.
The rehearsal was held at One World Theatre in Austin and...
As I was reading through the comments from today's earlier DIY wedding, I noticed that you guys were loving the "WISHES" banner that the oh-so-cute bride crafted. Well, we've put together a full DIY project for the banner over on the Style Circle...complete with easy-to-print templates of the letters!
So, if you want to add a little DIY charm to your affair, head on over...
One of our FABULOUS Style Circle Gurus, Robin, found this amazing short wedding dress over on etsy that I had to share with you guys. It's so darling, perfect for a 50's inspired affair. Pair it with some red lips and a pair of sky high heels and you basically have perfection...perfect for a wedding like this one.
The dress is by...
Thank you so very much to the hugely talented Jenny Smith of Alders Photography for sending us this adorable wedding. I LOOOOVE to see affairs that are handcrafted, that are lovingly designed, that are so thoughtfully built. And this wedding was a labor of love that resulted in an absolutely gorgeous day.
Here are a few more of the vendors that helped to make this day so special...

The fabulous Jennifer Smith over at Alders Photography sent us today's second featured wedding. It's no wonder she fell hard for the cute style that this bride infused...it's charming, it's approachable, it's whimsical and completely handmade. If you are willing to dive in and get your hands a little dirty, there are so many fun ideas to steal from this day!

There is so much to love about this next wedding. It's a handmade affair at its finest, with little pieces of perfection tucked in every corner. The bride put such TLC into designing a day that was as lovely, as it was meaningful. Photographed by Jennifer Smith of Alders Photography, this wedding is all about the pretty!
The wedding was held at Tiber Canyon Ranch...
I'm not really a tattoo kind of girl myself...but I have this weird love affair with tattooed brides. Something about the rock 'n roll style meets frilly white wedding dress just makes me happy. And THIS bride just happens to be drop dead gorgeous so the whole shebang is pure awesomeness. Jeremy Lawson, the brilliant photographer behind these images, really lucks out with his pretty, pretty brides!

I fell madly in love with Jeremy Lawson's work when we featured the oh-so-charming Iowa wedding that he shot the other day. Well, this wedding is just as great. Just as funky, just as smile inducing. Jeremy has a way about photography...his work is a little bit dark and mysterious, a little bit light and lovely. You can really...
Kathy Goodman of Well Rehearsed put together one of the most charming rehearsal dinners I've seen in a long time. What I love about Kathy's work is that it is always edited, never overdone. Her details are simple and yet thoughtful so that each touch has a purpose. Here's a bit more from this adorable affair...

For those of you that fell in love with today's earlier featured wedding by Karen Wise, you HAVE to see the adorable cocktail dress that the bride donned for the reception. We have all of the fashion details right here!
Okay! Moving on. I've been featuring more and more rehearsal dinners lately on SMP, mainly because I love the laid-back vibe and the details that can...
Every now and then I get really inspired to do a Look For Less feature...basically offering up tips and ideas on pulling off one of our super chic weddings on more of a budget. Well, even though today's Malibu affair already had some GREAT budget tips, I thought we could turn it up a notch.
We are breaking it all down over on the Style Circle, so to read more about this...
Thank you so very much to the lovely Catherine and Ken for sharing their incredibly beautiful day with us. I love the thought, the energy and the pretty that you infused into each and every detail. And to Karen Wise for continuing to excite and inspire me!
We are both lovers of jazz and found an awesome band that played classic jazz hits during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. I walked down the aisle to Miles Davis’ “It Never Entered My Mind.” We couldn’t...
I could go on and on and on about why I love this wedding. It's not hard to fall hard for the pretty, girly style. The perfect peonies. The draped twinkle lights. But what I love the most is that the bride and groom poured their heart into designing a day that their friends and family would remember forever. That was as romantic as it was thoughtful. This wedding, photographed by the incredible...
This wedding is about as pretty as a wedding could possibly be. From the stunning bride and groom, to the flowers that are right out of a painting, to the photographs that Karen Wise shot...every detail is perfection. And, what's even more exciting is that the beautiful bride, Catherine, loves Style Me Pretty (she even said love, love, love!) and has agreed to share...
This is it. My dream wedding. I know that I promised to feature less picture perfect outdoor weddings (and I swear I will) but this one was just too stunning to pass up. Chandeliers hanging from trees, perfect pink peonies, horses grazing in the background. Oh and a perfect white dress, a dreamy groom and details that will make you swoon. Karen Wise, who is...
Yet again...Lisa Vorce of Oh How Charming!, Aaron Delesie and the florist behind the event, Mindy Rice, have completely blown me away. This elopement is just about the prettiest thing that we've ever seen...and I say "we" because I made my husband come over and look at it for inspiration (renewal of vows, hint, hint). Thank you so very much to all three of you for inspiring us to no end!

There is something blissfully romantic about an elopement. Although I can't say that I'd ever do it, I looooove reading about couples that threw caution to the wind, hopped on a plane and celebrated their wedding completely alone. It's right out of a movie really.
Well, this one...is basically as beautiful as you can possibly imagine. Planned by Lisa Vorce, it's completely delicious. Oh and the photographs...
I think that this might be the first elopement that we've ever featured on SMP! And, it's a pretty drop-dead-gorgeous elopement at that! Lisa Vorce of Oh How Charming! is the designer behind this amazing spread and Aaron Delesie is the photographer. It's a Lisa + Aaron kind of day here and I am SO glad that they have agreed to share all of this gorgeousness.
All my...
Thank you so very much to Lisa Vorce and Aaron Delesie for sharing today's first featured wedding with us! It was a lesson in all things lovely. And you know what else I love? (shameless promotion here) Almost all of the vendors were Little Black Book members! I love that our book reflects such incredible...
