So today's affair was all about the details. Those perfect little touches that take the wedding style to a whole new level. Of course, like one of our readers said in the comments, a wedding really is all about the bride and the groom and the love that they share. BUT, in terms of style...the weddings that people always remember are those where the details shine.
Remember, details shouldn't push your budget. They should not cost more than you are really comfortable with. Look to...
There is so much to love about today's featured affair. From the simple, but absolutely lovely color palette filled with blues, white and other neutrals, to the unbelievable details...every element is simply flawless. Add in Elizabeth Messina's incredible photography and you have a jump-for-joy worthy affair!

There is something so unbelievably cohesive and yet so wonderfully effortless about today's featured affair. The decor blends seamlessly with the natural surrounding and doesn't at all seem over styled or designed.
The white and teal palette, paired with the silver and natural hues is FLAWLESS. Placing huge hurricane vases with pillar candles in the sand is genius and added that touch of romance that every reception needs. I can't say enough about this gorgeous affair that Lisa...
When I talk about "the details" on SMP...what I really mean are the little things. Thoughtful touches that make a wedding truly memorable...perhaps it's simply serving food that reflects your personalities or designing menu cards, place cards and programs that are charming and sweet, favors that are so "you." The details are the little things that truly elevate a wedding.
Although not everyone can have a wedding in paradise, everyone can find inspiration in one! From the bamboo...
We featured this wedding in an Inspiration Board format a LONG time ago, but recently, the fabulous photographer, Elizabeth Messina, sent me even more photos from the event and I had to share.
I sometimes sound like a broken record when I say that a wedding really is all in the details. But it's so true. And there is no one that does details better than Lisa Vorce, the...
I am SO excited to tell you guys that the fabulous Victoria of Milkfed Press has officially launched her wedding invitation line and in a word...it's scrumptious! Her designs are a little bit vintage, a little bit modern and all together gorgeous.
In keeping with today's silhouette theme...check out this ridiculously cute design that Victoria crafted, along with the hugely talented lettering and illustration...

We have had so many emails about the ridiculously great silhouette artist that was featured in Kisma and John's real wedding last week, I have decided to let the cat out of the bag! The artist behind this brilliant idea was Karl Johnson of the fabulous Cut Arts.
Karl is a "Master Silhouette Artist" as every silhouette...
Love, love, love everything that Lisa Lefkowitz sends our way. Thank you so much to Lisa and of course, to Kim and Alex for sharing their beautiful day with us!
Here are a few more bits of eye candy from Amy and Alex's St. Helena affair...
The teeny tiny crystal chandeliers, the small, monochromatic pink flowers (with the bridal bouquets being used as a centerpiece), the simple table cards...everything is gorgeous. Lisa Lefkowitz did an incredible job capturing the magic of the evening, the details that made the entire wedding really sparkle.
Some tips if you are NOT...
Okay, now on to the really, really, REALLY gorgeous details from Amy and Alex's wedding...all shot by the fabulous Lisa Lefkowitz!
I mean, come on! How beautiful is all of this? From that insanely perfect cake, which was crafted by Patisserie Angelica to the rather unbelievably beautiful centerpieces by...
We are featuring the most lovely Lisa Lefkowitz photographed affair today, with details that are going to make your heart skip a beat. But before we get to those, I wanted to share these GORGEOUS shots of the bride and groom.
So much more to come, stay tuned! Oh and the gown is by Lazaro, the suit by Hugo Boss.
Okay, this flower girl dress (I think it's just a little girl's dress, but it would make a great flower girl dress) is perfection. It's completely handmade using the softest cotton and finest ribbons and in a word, it's adorable. The dress is made to order, so you need to allow a little bit of time when purchasing. Love...
I am a little bit obsessed with this wedding. Actually, I am a little bit obsessed with everything that Lisa Lefkowitz sends me. She is pure talent and because of that, she is lucky enough to book some of the most wonderfully stylish clients. Kim and Alex were married this past August at a private residence in St. Helena.
I know, it's really hard to imagine having a wedding at a private home, BUT, there are some pretty...

We purchased green linen napkins to match the green on the invite at a discounted price. The centerpieces which were beautiful, were designed to reflect the hydrangea on the...
Now on to the simple, traditional ceremony. I know that so many of you are having church ceremonies in the chapel that you grew up in, and this one is just that. I think that they key to hosting something like this is to remember that the beauty of the ceremony...the words, the love, the everything...is what you should focus on. If you want to bring in decor elements, keep them simple and modest.

This is the perfect example of why I am so in love with stationery and all things paper. The right paper suite can bring that element of chic and charm to every detail.
