You are going to SO love today's wedding. It's the perfect combination of modern, traditional, DIY and all around gorgeousness. Jen and Andy tied the knot this past September at the Atlanta Contemporary Arts Center and together put on an affair that would make any guest jump for joy...

Hold the presses people. As I was surfing through one of our Little Black Book member's blog, Sixpense For Your Shoes, I discovered that there is an adorable little cupcake company that...wait for it...DELIVERS. Yep, they deliver their minis anywhere in the country, perfect for a sweet, yummy favor. Love, love, love...
Just spotted these ridiculously awesome shots over on Duston Todd's blog. Ummm, a baby pool? How great is that! They get a little saucy in the pool too, which is kind of cute. I am totally smitten with Duston Todd and his playful, but absolutely gorgeous photography. Definitely check out his blog for some serious eye candy! What I love about this next set is more than just the photography, which is obviously gorgeous as it was...
I am really curious to know how many of you are doing engagement portraits? We decided to not do any and I hugely regret it. I would love to have some really fun, artsy shots of my now husband and I before we tied the knot. So, lately, I have been kind of enamored with the creativity that couples are infusing into their photographs.
Love, love, love the bubbles! These were taken by a relatively new photographer to the scene, Kelty of...
Thank you so much to Jesse and Whitney, the fabulous team behind Our Labor of Love photography, for sharing this ridiculously lovely wedding with us. I have to admit, I was feeling a little burnt out today, a little tired in general. But, seeing the pure joy behind today's affair picked me right up. It's a good reminder as to what a wedding is all about.
And a huge congratulations to Bruce and Uta...may you...
The best part about today's featured affair is by far the kids. They are so stinking cute. Having parents that encouraged them to kick off their shoes, run around and get a little dirty is the icing on this gorgeous wedding cake.
Kids just innately bring joy to whatever they do. It's in their genetic make-up or something. And although having a screeching baby belt one out in the middle of your vows isn't exactly ideal, if you have the space for the little ones to run around and...
Most days, I try to feature weddings that are really detail driven...that give you solid inspiration and ideas for your own affair. But today, I am instead going a little sentimental and sharing a wedding that is completely family driven. When I saw these photographs that Our Labor of Love shot, I completely fell in love. With the couple, with the kids, with the incredibly photography. It's a wedding after my own heart, where family...
Here is the last set of our official Wiley Valentine sneak peek. If you've fallen in love, just shoot the girls an email and they will help you with pricing, design and ordering.

For those of you that don't know about the National Stationery Show, it's basically like the holy grail of everything paper. With the economy slowing down a bit, this year the trend is ALL about affordable luxury and Wiley Valentine is at the top of our must-see list. They are introducing their second Luxe book at the show and have been sweet enough to give us all a little sneak peek!

And her amazing, vintage inspired details. Kirsten custom makes sashes and headbands using antique crystals, beading and ribbons...the perfect way to bring a little special something to your look. A little bit romantic, a little bit bohemian chic, each piece is customized especially for you so that it suits your design to perfection.
I love it when the girls over at Wiley Valentine send us their new designs. Each one is always so fresh, so innovative...perfect for a bride that is looking for something a little bit modern, a little bit traditional. Their latest collection is all about approachable couture, designs that push the envelope of ready made and allow you to have something that is totally unique at a price that is totally doable.

I had planned so many details, and there was a little bridezilla in me that sometimes unleashed when things just had to be perfect. As...
Okay, I am madly in love with the bridesmaids dresses that today's featured bride, Laura, chose for her girls. I am not usually a huge fan of purple (having lived through 10 years of purple obsession by my best friends) but I swooned when I saw these gowns. They are so pretty, so girly. Wispy and delicate while still being totally elegant.

I have to admit, I have a bit of a girl crush on today's bride. She is not only drop dead gorgeous, she has a style that is one part glam, one part sweet and sophisticated. A perfect combination. Plus, the affair took place in the beautiful Australia, a place that I am becoming more and more obsessed with as I start to see so much Aussie style and innovation in the weddings that I've received....

The best part about today's wedding, in my humble opinion, is that the pair actually draped their uncle's garage to look like something right out of a fairytale. Complete unabashed garage luxury! LOVE.

Dinner, also vegetarian and prepared by The Pantry, was located in the house garage which was completely transformed to an intimate and serene space with white satin draperies against the walls and ceilings, white lanterns spread across the room for...
Ever since I saw Father of the Bride years ago, I've had this thing for home grown weddings. There is something so romantic, so warm about a wedding at the home of someone you love. It's just so soulful, so completely intimate. And this absolutely beautiful wedding that Jen Huang photographed, is no exception...

After the ceremony, we provided guests with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. The hors d’oeuvres, prepared by The Pantry, were vegetarian as a...
I fell head over heels for this wedding the minute I saw it. Any wedding that Jen Huang photographs is generally a keeper, but there is something special about the quaint, simple style of this particular affair that I just love.

The ceremony took place on the patio under a tent, lit by some lanterns, overlooking the property. The ceremony was incredibly intimate as the Justice of Peace...
Today's first real wedding is all about sweet, effortless charm. Shot by the amazingly talented Jen Huang, Patrik and Jessica tied the knot just a couple of weeks ago at Patrick's uncle's home in Connecticut. Before we dive into the absolutely beautiful details, I wanted to show you the gorgeous landscape where the couple said their I-do's...

Turning a perfect room inspiration into a perfect wedding...we did this a while back on SMP, but have kind of dropped the ball on the idea lately. Well, the team over at Buzz Media Company is picking up where we left off with their Morning Coffee feature and it's completely scrumptious. Here's a peek... I have always...
This one, designed by Mindy Rice, was spotted over on La Fleur Weddings & Events blog and was crafted as a flower girl box. But, I think that it would look pretty spectacular as a centerpiece on a rustic, chic table style. Think white linen, lace overlays, vintage silver and perhaps mismatched white china. Total perfection. Photograph by...
