I mentioned in our last post that we are launching a shiny new Inspiration Board Builder and that we have a group of soon-to-be's testing it out as we speak. Well, I thought you might like to see a few of the boards they are creating with our new tool!
Amanda created this super cute board around the mantra...
You guys are going to LOVE this. I mentioned last week that we are going to be launching a new social network called the Style Circle in the coming weeks. It's a kick ass site that will allow you to rub elbows with like minded brides, vendors and wedding junkies all in the name of style. In a word, it's awesome and you guys are going to really love it.
Anyway, the very coolest part about the new Style Circle is that we are officially launching our baby...a brand spanking new...
It's been a while since we've featured some of Kathleen's work on SMP. For those of you that don't know...Kathleen is a DIY guru and has been providing the coolest projects for SMP over the past few months. Today, she is sharing some completely adorable DIY favor boxes complete with downloadable templates. If you missed the first two boxes, click here. The best thing about this set is that they are...
There is something so sweet about today's first featured wedding. The paper poms, the single stems in lovely vases, the pink and gold palette. The bride found a ton of inspiration from Martha Stewart and she managed to capture that pretty simplicity to perfection.

I hope everyone had a great weekend! We had a blast at my brother-in-law's 30th birthday (Happy B-Day, Brad!), hitting up the children's museum with our little bug, hanging out enjoying the summer. I wish it would stay Summer forever!
Anyway, over the weekend, I got an email from one of our readers wondering why we don't show more country club weddings. After all, many of you are looking to throw traditional, sweet weddings in area clubs and need more inspiration!
So, I am...
I am OBSESSED with these table settings that the amazing talented Jennifer Rose-Sandy of Salt Harbor Designs conceptualized for a recent photoshoot. Absolutely, positively gorgeous.
The shoot took place at a little house on a brand new event property at Orton, built in the 1800's. It was originally occupied by a farm hand and his family, though not sits empty except...
I know that some of you are DYING to know how to make those adorable DIY Moss Covered Monograms from today's featured wedding. Well, the bad news is that Aly, the lovely bride, is setting up shop in a new apartment that doesn't have internet just yet. The good news is that I already had some pictures from her and I found a GREAT step-by-step to coordinate. To go along with the pictures, I...
I mentioned earlier that the person that actually sent us today's wedding was the brides cute sister, Emily. Well, Emily also just happens to be the talent behind all of the paper goods that she sells through her super cute Etsy shop, Frenchie & Flea!
So...thank you so very much to Emily for sharing her sister's recent wedding with us. And to adding...
We are back with some seriously great details from today's featured wedding. It's home grown, with almost everything being crafted by the bride, friends and family. It's chic, as she just happens to be a graphic designer so completely understands color, texture and design. It's total charm. Total charm.

This is such a cute wedding. It's one of those weddings that, if you are lucky enough to be a guest, you always remember. Details galore, charming handmade touches, a bride and groom that literally glow.

Today's first wedding is total charm. The bride's big sister actually submitted it to Style Me Pretty, which is so super cute, as she was so blown away by the chic, DIY touches and charming home-grown feel that the gorgeous bride and groom infused. Held in Spanish Oaks Ranch in Santa Margarita, CA, you guys are going to love this one!

We have a REALLY fun, totally fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants giveaway for you guys. Sarah Drake, one of my favorite invitation designers, is looking for one lucky bride to help her with a brand new invitation design...called, "love letters."
Before we unveil the invitation, I wanted to share some of the history behind this invitation. The inspiration with a little movie called Harold and Maude.

So, the best part about today's featured affair (aside from the sheer fabulousness of the whole thing) was the details. The perfect little touches that Audra and Teddy infused into their day, most of which Audra crafted completely on her own! photography by Kat Netzler and Brian Cummings From the bride... For programs, I wanted something simple, but also in the same style as my invitations (below). Inserted inside was a confetti...
There is so much to love about today's wedding feature. It's gorgeous. It's filled to the brim with details. Perfect details. And it's HUGELY reflective of the bride and groom. It's exactly what I look for when choosing a wedding to feature on SMP. It helps that the bride was a little SMP obsessed (her words not mine), which I love.

This wedding is all about the chic. Being an SMP reader, the gorgeous bride pored herself into the details, making sure every element was thoughtfully designed and that there were unexpected touches all along the way. She designed a wedding that was as stylish as it was personal...fulfilling my every SMP dream to perfection!

Here are some little tidbits from the bride...
Okay! Today's wedding feature is awesome. It's a little bit modern, a little bit traditional....a lot gorgeous. It actually reminds me a little bit of Kathleen's of Twig + Thistle's wedding that we featured a while back, with modern styling and details that will make you completely and totally swoon.

With yesterday's little piece of heaven, it's hard to find a wedding that can follow the genius that is Gloria Wong and Lisa Lefkowitz. So rather than compete, I thought I'd share one that is so completely different...it's the perfect balance of chic, contemporary style with timeless, traditional touches. It's a loft space meets warmth and intimacy.
I am still putting the...
I wanted to give you guys an update on both the job call that we posted a couple of weeks ago and the Style Circle that we are hoping to launch in the coming week!
First and foremost, thank you SO much to everyone that applied to the jobs! We got around 500 resumes in with brides and wedding...
I heart Oslo Press. In a BIG way. Their work is undeniably innovative, with invitations that combine rich wood veneer and ultra-gorgeous papers. Their designs are simple, elegant and completely timeless. In a nutshell, they are just an awesome design house.
And lucky, lucky us! The amazing designers behind the brand are gifting one lucky reader 100 engraved wood place cards/escort cards or favor tags.
I want to say a huge thank you, from the very bottom of my heart, to Lisa Lefkowitz and Gloria Wong for sending me this incredible, inspiring, hard-to-put-into-words beautiful wedding shoot. For those of you that have to pick your jaw up off the floor when all is said and done, not to fret. The fun doesn't stop here! The full spread, including TONS of details, will be featured in Brides Northern California in the...
