Margaret Singer always sends me the best weddings. Each one is so unique and yet so incredible vibrant. Remember Chris and Todd's intimate ceremony and chic reception on the beach? Well today's featured affair is just as lovely, just as...
The best part about today's featured wedding is the couple. Hands down one of the most gorgeous and fun loving couples we've ever featured, full of spunk and personality, not afraid to let loose and really enjoy their affair!
The bride is rocking a Pronovias gown and the groom is in a Mark Shale custom suit. Here are...
If there is one type of wedding that I am always excited to attend...it's one that is all about the fun. Of course, I love perfect details more than I can possibly say, so a wedding that has great touches and a general sense of laid back excitement is one that I will easily fall in love with.
Which is exactly why I wanted to share this absolutely awesome, unbelievably vibrant wedding that the oh-so-talented Margaret Singer...

Thank you so much to Grace and David for allowing us to share in their simply beautiful day. It is such a refreshing affair, with notes of sweetness and style infused into every detail.
A few more words from the bride...
We tried incorporating the theme of nature into our event décor as well. Our florist, Sharla Flock Designs, created stunning centerpieces with floral and natural elements including orchids, calla lilies, horsetails, ti leaves, and manzanita branches.
I knew you guys were going to love this wedding. It's just enough sweetness, just enough chic, just enough tradition to reach so many different types of brides. Here are a few more details...

From the bride...
One of the messages we wanted to convey through our wedding was our love of the outdoors. ...
There is only one word that appropriately describes today's featured affair...lovely. Absolutely, positively lovely. On SMP, we tend to highlight a ton of weddings that are heavy on charm but few that are simple in their traditional styling. Sometimes, the best weddings are the most traditional...where simple, elegant details add up to a spectacular affair...

We debuted the latest elum design in our last feature, but what we didn't tell you is that the amazing designers recently launched a new album devoted exclusively to personalized letterpress stationery!
LOVE! For any of you paper snobs, like myself out there, elum is the cream of the crop! Spend some time checking out their gorgeous letterpress portfolio! You definitely won't be disappointed.
The AMAZING team at Elum just sent me a preview of one of their new Fall inspired letterpress invitations. And I got so excited, I did a quick little inspiration board to showcase the design in all it's glory...

You guys might remember this unbelievably great wedding in Palm Beach that we featured a couple of months back. Well, one of the very best thing about the wedding was the incredible paper details that the bride and her graphic designer put together. I swooned for a solid month after the wedding, just thinking about how great everything was.
Well, lucky for us, the designer behind all of...
A while back we introduced you guys to the fabulousness that is Melangerie...a NY based design studio that specializes in wedding and event details. Each project is so totally thoughtful, so completely adorable, I had to share their latest creation with you!
Are you dying to know what each and every little goodie is? Well, here's the low-down from the girls at...
You are going to LOVE this next feature. And I mean seriously love.
The ridiculously talented Andrew Hsu of Studio MSV sent us this little clip that he put together during a photoshoot for Brides Northern California Magazine. I don't want to tell you too much, because you really HAVE to watch it, but...let's just say that the shoot includes some of my all time favorite artists and is more FABULOUS than you can imagine.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Woodward + Rick for sending us today's featured affair! The flowers alone, designed by Aria Floral, are enough to bring a girl to tears. The entire affair was the perfect way to kick off the week so we are thrilled to have been a part of it!
Coming up, we have an INCREDIBLE little video that you are really going to love! Oh and...
If you are just now joining us, brace yourself. Today's featuring wedding has been a complete joy to write about but it's the reception that literally blew my mind. The design is a little cluttered in that absolutely perfect way, a little vintage without seeming themed, a little bit perfect while still being completely approachable. How can you NOT love this wedding?
The couple managed to bring the outdoors in with their garden like decor that almost seems like it has always...
Ok, back to today's featured affair. If you thought that the ceremony was gorgeous...wait until you see the reception that this lovely couple threw!
The event was PURE romance and the photographs only help us to see the absolute, unabashed beauty of the day. If there is one lesson from today's wedding, it's this...layer, layer, then layer some more. The bride used this gorgeous garden inspiration as her starting point, then continued to bring in different textures and mismatched...
We are taking a little break from today's real wedding for a pretty awesome giveaway!
Word is out that we have partnered up with Crate and Barrel (one of my all time favorite brands) to do an INCREDIBLE wedding registry giveaway worth $4,000. And if that isn't enough to make you squeal with glee, SMP is also gifting one of our favorite Crate and Barrel products every couple of weeks so that you can...
Love, love, love everything about this wedding. When I was at Engage '09, a lot of the designers were chatting about purple and how the hue will continue to be popular throughout this next year. It's easy to see why...with a layered palette of varying shades, the purple looks completely chic and yet totally at home in the surrounding.
The oh-so-fabulous team at...
Today we are featuring one of the loveliest weddings I've seen in a long, long time. It has that effortless elegance that I love so much, with fresh from the garden style flowers, a bride in a simple but stunning lace gown, a feel that is both intimate and completely special.
Woodward + Rick shot these absolutely gorgeous photographs, managing to capture the story of the day to complete and utter perfection. The wedding...
Getting a little bit of a late start today, but the good news is that I am putting the finishing touches on THE most gorgeous garden inspired real wedding you've ever seen.
