A. Her dress. Can we talk about her dress? B. The first look. It really doesn't get ANY better than that. And C. Um, the insanely beautiful reception. One part traditional elegance, one part New Orleans inspired goodness complete with a second line. Photographed by Antonio Rocha, this wedding is the very definition of pure, unabashed elegance.

For a girl that loves herself a white color palette, I crave couples that embrace color. That use their surroundings to define their palette - then crank it up a notch or two. Like this couple did with a range of shockingly lovely purple and pink hues. My favorite part? Aside from the bride in all of her gorgeousness, I'm a obsessed with the maids dresses by Donna Morgan.
I remember when I first heard the term DIT. Not DIY. But DI-T. Doing it together. And I thought that it was so much more appropriate for the weddings we feature because rarely are the projects involved a solo act. Weddings just like this one - held in a loft in Brooklyn - where every element was made by the hands of friends. Click here for more from photographer...
It's easy to get distracted by the details of a wedding. The pretty accents that we work so hard on, that set our wedding aside from all the rest. But at the heart of those details is something far more magical. Love. Plain and simple. And this couple, against a gorgeous beachside backdrop with photographs by Closer to Love - had the love part of things totally nailed. Click here for more.
It's rare that you see a wedding nearly 100% thrifted, refurbished and DIYed look as lovely as this one. Perhaps its that the bride and groom are literally glowing. But it's also that the details feel so real. So tied to the couple and their family. From the pie bar to the fresh peaches and tractor ride, this celebration - photographed by Contagious Design - is good for the soul.
When people ask me why we feature so many California celebrations, the answer is easy. Because with the sea of wineries, beaches for days and couple's like this one who take refined, natural elements and transform them into pure magic, Cali is just where it's at. Just make sure you take some time to pore over the details shot by Larissa Cleveland...
If ever there was a place primed for a perfect destination wedding...I'm pretty sure St. Thomas would be it. Because you need next to nothing to make your celebration spectacular. And while this bride layered on the turquoise and coral touches - inspired from the beaches themselves - the backdrop alone was enough for us to fall in love. Even more photos from Crown Images...
I have two words for you. Pie Contest. Yes, this couple took the idea of a Farm wedding to an entirely new level of awesome. With photos that tell the story to utter perfection from Gabe Aceves. My favorite part? I'll just quote the bride..."Don't be fooled by the styling - those are real chickens that produce real eggs in a REALLY dirty henhouse on a working farm." Obsessed.
Planning a wedding with this crew behind the wheel - Ali of Engaging Events by Ali, photographer Yazy Jo and flowers by Exquisite Design - um, I think that wedding jackpot sort of sums it up. Add to that a gorgeous Chicago skyline and a couple that was so madly in love and you have the recipe for a pretty perfect wedding.
We've partnered with Invisalign to talk about all things gorgeous smile. It's one of the best accessories in a Bride's beauty arsenal, after all, but often gets overlooked when planning the countdown to the big day.

Remember when having a "themed" wedding was so taboo? Like themed was a bad word or something? Well, long gone are those days because couples have figured out that a theme done right can bring instant whimsy and cohesion to a celebration. Especially when you layer on flowers as pretty as this next couple's! Click here for more photos from Laurel McConnell.
I'm pretty sure this couple has taken the cake for the best wedding "theme" ever - because we all know the fastest way to a guests heart is with donuts! Add to that baking stations on each table, cupcake "bouquets" and tiered wedding cake macarons, and I'm half way out the door to the nearest bakery. With photos from Rhythm Photography and a design by...
Sometimes we plan and God laughs. And guess what? It turns out even better than we hoped. Like this adorable duo who planned to have their e-session shot in a canoe on the St. John's River. But thanks to some rough waters, they had to settle for a little 50's inspired, oh so sexy goodness in the gardens and the result? Was all. out. romance. Click here for more from...
Of all the weddings we feature on SMP, it's always the rows of pink that steal my heart the fastest. With sweet girly touches around every corner and bright, Summery images to make you feel like the day couldn't be anything other than perfect. With photography by Brklyn View, this is one of those weddings that I never want to let go of.
When I was scouting locations for my own wedding we looked at totally off the beaten path places - like an old racetrack or a gorgeous piece of farmland. We ended up switching gears entirely for a city wedding but this bride totally stuck to her vision and guess what? Her wedding at Queens County Farm Museum turned out just a notch or two above perfections. Click her for more shots from...
In the 1940's, the microwave was invented, the Jeep made it's debut and Velcro found it's way to store shelves. Casablanca came out in 1943, It's a Wonderful Life shortly thereafter. And weddings? Well, they were driven by a sense of all out hollywood glam. So it's no surprise that this couple took a nod from the 40's and with photos by Craig Photography - held a vintage affair gone totally gorg.
DIY shouldn't be a solo act. Because when you have a wedding like this - where the groom's mother crafted over 100 napkins from vintage tablecloths, the bride's mother hand-stamped the table cards and the groom's father infused tequila into their signature cocktail - it's so much more fun done family style. With photographs from Meredith Perdue...
When it comes to ballroom wedding, brides and grooms often have to work with backdrops that don't fit their wedding day style to perfection. But that is definitely NOT the case with this ballroom celebration. This bride used an already gorg space and added her own dose of style and style and style for days. The result - with photos by Yvonne Wong - is wedding perfection.
