You guys know what big fans of Wiley Valentine we are here on SMP. I love their clean, design savvy approach to wedding design...offering brides with many different budgets a little piece of perfection. So, when they told me that they running a pretty awesome promotion, I jumped at the chance to tell you guys!
Through June 30, the girls at Wiley Valentine are giving...
I feel like I have been hiding under a rock for not knowing all about the gorgeousness that is Mr. Larkin. Spotted over on Bliss, I am head over heels for their eco-chic, totally gorgeous designs. This goddess dress, embellished with recycled vintage metal paillettes, is from the 1930s and it just might be the best dress I have ever seen. See more...
The queen of all things gorgeous has been at it again. April Reed, the cake designer that has inspired SO many trends, SO many different cake styles, just sent me some pics of her newest work. And I have to say, she's better than ever!

So, speaking of the fabulous Karen Mordechai. together with the equally fabulous personal chef, Casey Solomon, the girls have launched a brand new adventure called Sunday Suppers that I am completely smitten with. It isn't exactly wedding related, but it is HUGELY inspiring.
Here is a little summary from Karen.
There are few designers that can compete with the complete fabulousness that is Amy Atlas. Her dessert buffets are becoming the standard to which everyone looks to for inspiraiton...with details that will make any critic give up a few spirit sprinkles. In a word, she is amazing. So of course, when Amy sent me her latest masterpiece, I jumped up and down like a little girl in a candy store. Literally.
The incredible Pucci...
Thank you so very much to Youn and Nathan for sharing their gorgeous day with us. And of course, to the incredibly talented Ken Luallen the photographs that have made our heart skip a beat!
A last bit from Ken...Youn and Nathan's reception decor created an intimate atmosphere, brought on largely by fuchsia and purple paper globes draped above the outdoor patio, its...
There is something so refreshing about today's affair. Not sure if it's the pretty DIY touches or the sweet approachable style, with hints of whimsy tucked in every corner. Whatever it is, I can't get enough!
From the fabulous Ken Luallen...Not inclined to be oppressively formal, Youn made sure she and her bridesmaids had fashionable flip-flops (pink and purple, of course) available to relax their feet as needed throughout...
LOVING today's featured wedding...mainly because it is not only photographed by one of my favorite Little Black Book members, Ken Luallen, but also because the bride is so stinking crafty and so ridiculously cute!
From Ken Luallen...Our groom's personality shone...
So, remember this amazing DIY invitation that we featured during one of our DIY contests? You guys went nuts over it and guess what...the cute bride recently tied the knot and her photographer, Ken Luallen (one of the best in our Little Black Book), is stopping by to share some of the ridiculously great pictures and details!
The cute, cute, CUTE girls at Wedding Chicks recently launched a brand new product line on etsy that's as charming as it is totally wearable. From perfectly worn T's made just for the bride and her maids to the most adorable custom totes you've ever seen (and you know how much I love a cute tote) each design is better than the next...
Every piece has a...
And their ridiculously adorable flower girl dresses. Sweet and even a little chic, they are absolutely perfect for your littlest helpers. I am madly in love with more than one of them and paired with a fun pop of color either in her shoes or a cute headband, your little girl will be SO stinking...

Personally, I am partial to the RIDICULOUSLY gorgeous Pearl Collection, though I have to say, I am pretty...
If you loved the incredible portraits that SOTA Dzine shot for today's featured couple, you are going to REALLY LOVE their fabulous wedding. The bride is drop dead gorgeous, with kind of a classic hollywood glam style. And just the right amount of sweetness to complete the look.
This isn't like the weddings that we generally post on SMP...it's a bit funkier, a bit more downtown chic. And I am kind of loving it!
We are changing it up big time with this next feature. I spotted these amazing portraits that SOTA Dzine shot for a recent wedding and just about died. I have never seen anything like it and I am so loving that the couple bucked tradition and did something crazy different!
I'm sorry, but is that not THE coolest thing you have ever seen!? They are huge snowboarding fans so the amazing team at...
Thank you SO very much to Jesse and Whitney of Our Labor of Love for sharing today's wedding with us. It's hard to find the right words to say just how much I love your work. It's perfect.
And of course, a ridiculously big thank you to Ashley and Allen for letting us share in their celebration. I thought that I could end this real wedding feature with...
There is something completely sweet and charming about the reception from today's featured affair. Filled with lots of hugs, toasts to the happy couple and a feeling of pure joy, I love that the they kept it simple and fun.
Completely adorable. Oh and if you are just now catching up with us, the team at Our Labor of Love are the one's that captured these perfect photographs. Love, love, love.
What is a really great wedding without really great details? Obviously, today's super cute, stylish, adorable (I could go on and on) couple infused those perfect touches that took their lovely wedding to an all new level!

Ring a ding ding (did I just say that...I am seriously in need of some new words)!! Aren't these details completely perfect! The candies are...
I have to admit. I have this thing for really beautiful couples. Not necessarily pretty people, but really beautiful people who have that inner glow we all covet. It's those kinds of couples that make for the best photographs, the most romantic, the most joyful, the most stunning images.
So, when you put today's couple together with the fabulousness that is Our Labor of Love, the result is well...perfection.
On to the absolutely beautiful ceremony from today's featured affair. The wedding took place in Charleston, South Carolina so obviously, it was gorgeous. But, what I love the most about the day was the completely candid love that the bride and groom showed...not only for each other, but also for the family and friends that they hosted. I love that.
Sigh. So, so beautiful. The photographs shot by Our Labor of Love tell the...
I spotted this incredible capelet while browsing around Etsy's wedding shop...and I promptly fell in love. Reflectionsbyds's has a select collection of the most beautiful handknit and crocheted pieces you've ever seen, all of them absolutely perfect for a rustic, chic bride. Warm and cozy, each design is completely gorgeous. Plus, she does custom work, so the options are really...
