When it comes to wedding festivities you know we're all about the details big and small. So, when my newly engaged friend celebrated her “last fling before the ring,” I knew some adorable DIY party favors were in order. From pint sized bubbly from Sofia Coppola Champagne, to adorable "Hello Pretty" Tote Bags and...
I recently hosted a luncheon with the fab HomeGoods team set against the beauty of Claudette in NYC – a restaurant at the tippy top of my design favorites list. At the lunch, I shared ideas on how to add the coziness of Fall to a dinner party with friends and family using an unexpected color palette and tablescape. We were inspired by gorgeous Fall colors and details minus the...
Remember that adorable #StyleMeBlooper photo we shared last week? Well, this ladies and gentlemen, is the real wedding behind it. And it just happens to be my beautiful sister-in-law, Jessica. Who I met when she was 17 years old, desperate to get out of the house to go hang out with her friends. Fast forward over a decade and here...

We were just a tad bit excited last week when announcing an event we were co-hosting with Tiffany & Co., and let me tell you, it was even more fab than I'd expected. We got to sip bubbly, snack on yummy treats + chat diamonds with Tiffany Chief Gemologist, Melvyn Kirtley. Sound perfect? Well that's because it was. If you didn't get the chance to attend, you'll want to take a second to relive it all through...
Twice a year, every year, the creme de la creme of the wedding industry comes together to talk shop, to inspire, to trade war stories and to be spoiled utterly rotten by the amazing duo at Engage Summits - the lovely Rebecca Grinnals and Kathryn Arce. It's four days of pure wedding bliss. And while I'd love to spill every last detail, I'm focusing instead on the one event that every last one of YOU will find inspiring. Crafted and executed...

For a couple who held not one, not two, but THREE celebratory wedding get togethers so that friends and family all over the world could smile alongside them, I would say this duo has tying the knot down to a science. Marrying two gorgeous cultures - both in ceremony and style - gave way to an English Garden style with perfect Chinese detailing. With photographs from Stephen Jerkins Photography and decor by...
Here at SMP, Boho is the new it girl. She is effortless, elegant, laid back and yet entirely timeless. Wispy gowns and floral headpieces complete her style and there is an innate ode to all things organic. And this inspirational shoot - crafted and photographed by Nicole Clarey Photography with a film from Anna Lord Studio - captures the boho bride to utter perfection.
This shoot - with gorgeous images from Masha Bakker - is wedding happiness. Pure, good, utterly lovely wedding happiness. From the blue and white wall installation (LOVE btw) to the sweet but sophisticated styling, everything about this little nugget of goodness makes us smile. So if any of you brides are feeling the same way, we can't wait to see how the real deal turns out.
Burger bar, check. Vanilla, funfetti, and snickerdoodle cakes? Check, check, check. Bride that literally can't contain her joy and an equally smitten groom. Check. All I have to say is thank goodness Peppermint Plum Photography was on hand to capture every last detail so we can pretend like we were there right alongside this adorable pair.
Ever wonder what happens when a pair of photographers photographs another photographer? It's usually really, really good even if it is a mouthful. And if you want proof, then spend a moment devouring this anniversary shoot from Orange Photographie, as she spent a day snapping fellow photog Michelle Cross and her husband Colton. Pure magic.
Whenever we are putting together weddings for SMP, we pay attention to the small things that really make a wedding lovely. Of course there are the flowers and the cakes, the invitations and the gowns. But there is also the look on the groom when he knows his bride is nearby. And then the moment he sees here. There is the joy that you can feel on every child's face. And there are the photographs, like these from...
Hailey Yeager of Pretty Planner Weddings & Events just has a way with weddings. Probably because she isn't simply thinking about decor. She's thinking about the moments, the story within and the incredible beauty that follows. And this shoot is just that..a tale of travel, of moving forward, of gorgeous, tangible love with color and color and color for days. With photos by...
Whenever I think about Style Me Pretty and the moments that inspire the most...they usually look a bit like this. Effortless and organic and yet still timeless and chic. Simple and sweet and yet undeniably romantic. And this shoot - with gorgeous images from Rahel Menig Photography, a stunning gown by Hayley Paige from...
Sometimes all it takes to have a successful engagement shoot, is a really pretty backdrop and a great photographer. Which this couple clearly had. But in this case, they also had a little dose of adorableness and one really stinking cute pup. And the result? Frame-worthy lovely, captured to perfection by Corinne Krogh. And there is more here!
Some people think it's easy to have a California wedding. After all, it's a breezy 80 degrees there every day. Well, so much more goes into "effortless" than one might first think. It's the carefully selected flowers, the perfect music, the feel like home but more special food. It's the details. And Dream A Little Dream Events reigns queen when it comes to details. Add in...
So how do you make a wedding for 250 people feel really, really special? Just ask this couple! "If the budget allows, have a 'must have' list. For us, we wanted a great band, particular flowers and we wanted to be able to invite as many friends and family as the venue would hold! For us, those factors mattered the most so we were able to eliminate costs elsewhere to make sure these 'must haves' were able to happen." And photographs from the ridiculously talented ...
