If you aren't already familiar with the fabulous Rebecca Feeney, she's definitely a name to add to your must-have list. Rebecca's work is one part chic, one part completely personal...always undeniably fabulous. And this wedding, a tiny affair of just 22 people (which of course means that you can go bonkers with the decor), was utterly gorgeous.

In my dream wedding...
Now for the really great part of today's first featured wedding...the reception, of course. The flowers are absolutely delicious, crafted by the oh-so-talented Sharla Flock. And together with an incredible cake by Perfect Endings, twinkle lights and candles galore, and a bride and groom that are all about the romance...it's a perfect wedding!

There is just something to love about this wedding. The traditional, but beautiful approach. The amazing little gaggle of kiddies (dressed to the nines of course). The perfect flowers, the feeling of pure celebration. And Jenne Hohn, the event designer behind the day, did an incredible job at capturing the spirit of total loveliness.

It's one thing to write about beautiful events day in and day out. It's another thing entirely to attend one as a guest. Don't get me wrong, I've been to some pretty beautiful weddings. A lot of them, actually. But, there was something really magical about the party at Engage '09.
The thing is, the artists and planners behind Engage '09 understand completely just how important the details are. And, they infused little...
I am WAY tardy in posting the Engage '09 wrap-up, but...better late than never! For those of you that have no clue what I am talking about, I recently headed down to the most fabulous wedding vendor get-together in the Cayman Islands hosted by the incredible Rebecca Grinnals of Engaging Concepts. Lucky, lucky me, I was asked to speak on a panel called Innovating with Style with the amazingly talented...
We are all about Sylvie Gil today. First, it was a showstoppingly lovely, modern soiree at a Wine Country Inn. Next up, this incredibly sweet, utterly charming affair at Barndiva in Healdsburg. Sylvie is a genius behind the lens (check out the links at the bottom of the post) and really did a beautiful job with this wedding...managing to capture the pure love and romance...
The reception is from today's Sylvie Gil photographed wedding is all about the chic. Crisp white linens. Perfect, completely approachable florals. Simplicity at it's finest!
The color palette is a little bit unexpected, with varying shades of yellow and orange. And yet, it fits the style of the venue to perfection. Here are a few more bits of eye candy...
It's definitely official.
Sylvie Gil is one of SMP's all time favorite photographers. She not only turns out really beautiful work, she is also forever blessed with some of the coolest weddings. This one, started with a simple city hall ceremony, followed by a chic, casual affair at the Carneros Inn in Napa...
I am a BIG fan of all things wine country...but it is...
I heart Jose. Really, really heart Jose. His work is always so clean, so vivid. It tells the story of the day with a sense of timeless romance, with a hint of whimsy, a hint of pure gorgeousness. And this wedding is no different. Held at a local winery in Los Olivos, California...the wedding is all about an intimate gathering of close friends and family. Love that.
The AMAZING cake was designed by Decadence and for me...
For those of you that were checking the blog earlier today, you might have noticed that we were featuring a FABULOUS wedding that the forever talented Jose Villa shot. Then it disappeared! Well, being the brilliant photographer that he is, Jose wanted to put a few finishing touches on the images so we pulled them down to let him work his magic.
And here is the wedding in all its glory!

I think...
Couple of things...first, you'll notice that we pulled down the Jose Villa wedding that we were featuring earlier. Jose is working on getting us some better images (as well as a few more that you haven't seen yet), so we'll have that up very soon. Second, don't forget the enter the Summer Inspired Crate and Barrel Giveaway...we are giving away a Panini Grill!
And speaking of Summer, I...

Steve DePino sent us today's gorgeous real wedding. It's more traditional than some of the weddings that we feature so often on SMP, but it is just as lovely. And I know that we have a TON of readers who are designing a traditional, but fabulous wedding for themselves so it's the perfect fit!

We chose colors that complimented the colors...
This wedding is all about the pretty. Sweet, traditional, absolutely perfectly pretty. Plus, it was shot by Steve DePino which means that I love it even more.
From the gorgeous bride...
Matt and I always wanted to have our wedding at a place that was really special to us and that represented who we are as a couple. I grew up in a small Connecticut shoreline town called Guilford that is absolutely beautiful in the...
The bad news about today's first featured affair is that it took place in Colombia, utilizing some of the best local vendors...which of course means that it might be hard to replicate the wedding. The good news is that many of the ideas are completely steal-able and could be done in just about any setting.
Here are a few details from the AMAZING photographers behind the day, Valeria and Juan...
The bride and groom...
Today's first featured wedding is pure romance. I fell head over heels in love with these images the moment that I saw them and only wish that my own wedding was as effortlessly lovely. The photographers that sent me the affair, Valeria and Juan, are a husband and wife team in Colombia...one a fashion and advertising photographer, one a photojournalist, the team has begun shooting weddings on the weekends. And man oh man, are they good.
We are celebrating two completely fabulous weddings today. The first, sent to us by the incredible Duston Todd, is all about sophisticated, unabashed gorgeousness. The second, photographed by the unbelievably talented...
Loving this sweet, family inspired wedding that Carla Ten Eyck sent us. Carla completely nailed it with the vintage style photography, capturing the intimate and yet totally elegant style of the day. You know, I am a firm believer that although a wedding should be a reflection of the couple...it is also one of the only times in our lives where our families come together to celebrate something so incredibly special. Celebrating the...
