You know what I love the most about writing a wedding blog? It completely satisfies my completely irrational love of so many different wedding styles, so many different wedding perspectives. A chic, modern affair makes me completely giddy...but so does a fabulous rustic style wedding, a sleek beach side affair, a gorgeous traditional soiree. I love them all and I love that I have a job where I can get lost in each style every day of the week.
This one, sent to us by the AMAZING...
After the ceremony, the couple held a fun cocktail party followed by a pretty incredible reception. It was all about the celebration and you can see from the candids of the guests that everyone was having a blast. I love that...a beautiful, sweet ceremony followed by an all out party. Duston Todd is the genius behind the photographs, shooting the wedding entirely in film. An approach that is incredibly (and sadly) rare these...
Let me tell you a little bit about this couple. They had actually been married a full year before they decided to exchange vows publicly at their home in Tulsa with their closest friends and family. I know, if I had that home, I'd host a pretty killer wedding too. But here's the special part...they obviously have a huge wedding budget. So much so that they decided to forgo all the bells and whistles and instead use their wedding funds to build a water well in an African community. Yep, not only...
I am not sure what I love most about today's featured wedding that Duston Todd sent us. It could be that the couple is so ridiculously gorgeous that it's hard NOT to fall in love with each and every picture. Oh and the dress, the shoes, the cute groom...it's all kind of perfect. But I think that what I love most, are the absolutely STUNNING, all film photographs. Photographs that are literally some of the most spectacular I've...
I think that it's pretty clear just how much I love Smock. They are next to none in terms of quality and fabulous design work and are always coming out with really innovating ways to approach invitation design. So, when they sent me pics from their new social stationery collection, I jumped at the chance to share it with you guys!
Here is a little bit of detail...
I am a sucker for a perfect, cocktail style short wedding dress. Probably because I am not sure I could ever take the plunge myself (though have such jealously for those who do!), but also because there is so much room for such fabulous style when you shorten the hemline.
So, when the wonderfully talented Alice Hu sent me photos from a recent shoot that she did for Dolly Couture, I swooned a little bit...
If you haven't been following Minted's latest Design Challenge, you've been missing out! We've partnered up with the fab brand to do a Save the Date design challenge and have been blown away by the amazingness that the designers have come up with. And, it's finally time to cast my vote and decide on the best Save the Date...but I need your help.
There are just SO many perfect designs, I simply can't choose. Here are my top...
If you are just now stopping by, we are devouring THE most beautiful wedding that Lisa Lefkowitz sent us. Lisa is a dream come true, always sending us affairs that are sophisticated, elegant and utterly gorgeous, with details that make me swoon time and time again. This wedding, designed by the fabulous Alison Hotchkiss, is that...and so much more.

Sometimes we feature perfect weddings. You know, those weddings where every detail just seems to fall right off the pages of a magazine. This is one of those perfect weddings. The bride and groom are flawless, the detailing that Alison Hotchkiss dreamed up, the flowers by Branch and of course, the perfect photographs by...
When Lisa Lefkowitz sends me one of her weddings, my heart does a little pitter-patter. She is so good at what she does, so thoughtful in her photography, she just allows you fall head over heels for every single affair. So when she emailed me today's first featured wedding, I did a little happy dance. Then I saw that one of my all time favorite planners and now dear friends...
Thank you so very much to the amazingly talented Amanda Herzberger of Orchard Cove Photography (and second-shooters Brian Fitzgerald and Sarah Waldo) for sending us today's featured affair. I am in love. To say the least. For those of you that share...
It's funny. I seem to fall head over heels in love with every wedding that we post on SMP. I know that I throw a lot of spirit sprinkles and high kicks into my my posts, but oddly enough...I sincerely mean it. And this wedding, is one of our best. Filled with perfectly thoughtful touches, elegant but unbelievably humble details, a bride and groom that are literally glowing...it is MORE than high kick worthy in my book!
Rachel & Will's wedding receptions took place at...
I heart this wedding. I heart it so much that it just might have sky rocketed up to my very favorite wedding thanks to it's complete, unabashed charm. The amazing, amazing, amazing Amanda Herzberger shot the photographs that have completely brought this day to life...making me SO wish that I was there, so wish that I was a part of this incredible celebration.
Here are a few little tidbits for you to fall in...
This wedding, sent to us by Orchard Cove Photography, is amazing. Flat out amazing. In fact, I'm not sure that I've ever seen such a blissful setting, such a thoughtful, lovingly crafted wedding design. The entire affair makes me want to pack it up and head back in time to summer camp!
The wedding ceremony was held at Camp O-At-Ka in Sabego, Maine and is a...

This is a little bit random, BUT, I loved the idea so much I couldn't help but share it. The amazingly talented Brad Walters recently sent me some pictures of these customized stones that the bride crafted for each of her guests...
Each rock was custom made for that particular guest...for example, Brad's had a religious symbol and a musical note fused into the design. Talk about putting your personal stamp on your...
If there is one thing that I can't get enough of, it's wedding details. Done right, details will make a wedding magazine-worthy (or in this case, SMP worthy). Details will give your guests a glimpse into the hours upon hours spent poring over every little touch, every little wedding planning piece of crazy. Details are one of the best ways to put your style stamp on your wedding, a way to let your nearest and dearest know just how special the evening is.
And when I saw the details...
Today's second featured wedding is pure heaven. Designed by the FABULOUS Caplan Miller Events (seriously people, remember this incredible event that they did a few months back?), the affair is all about the chic. Perfect yellow inspired chic.

With an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception, the design team really...
My obsession with all things yellow is somewhat new. Even when gray and yellow became color palette staples, I wasn't completely sold. And to be honest, I am not sure what triggered the love affair. But whatever the cause, my love affair with all things yellow has been taken to an entirely new level thanks to this incredible wedding that the forever talented Courtney Caplan sent me...
I mean come on. How stinking cute is...
