There really isn't anything sweeter than bringing a little bundle of joy into the world. And let's be honest, a French-country inspired picnic, complete with a vintage pram (of course!), is just the ticket when it comes to celebrating new life. Designed and styled by the talented Dawn Crothers Cimino of Something Vintage Rentals, this baby shower is pretty much as good as it gets.
I met Anne at the same time that I met Bryce. In Mexico at Jose Villa's photography workshop. And you could tell that there were sparks even then. Between all of us really. I loved Anne's hair and...
Paris. The land of love. And of baguettes and macarons and well pretty much everything sinfully delicious in the world. It's architecture and history and layer upon layer of beauty. So lucky for us, the lovely, lovely Maggie Batista of Eat Boutique with photographs by our friend Heidi Murphy of White Loft Studio is taking us along to discover her Paris. The cafes and...
Since smuggling the crisp Paris air back to Boston might be a bit of a challenge and we all know what would happen to the macarons that were stuffed into our bags (and then promptly into our faces). Instead of bringing something home from our travels, we're thinking that a simple, stunning Parisian inspired DIY candle is just what the doctor ordered. All designed by our sweet sweet friend and talented...
Paris. In all its beauty. It's the city where love thrives and chic reigns queen. So when we saw this shoot photographed by our friend Joey Kennedy with styling by the fabulously talented Jessica Sloane, we packed our e-suitcases and booked the next imaginary flight out. Because to be in a city this gorgeous, perfect in a flowy, romantic, kiss me right now gown (with a...
There are some people in this life that are capable of changing the tide. Whose level of skill and artistry is so on pointe, that you just know they are the real deal. The game changers. The people that set the pace for what the world considers beautiful or cool or must-haveable. They are people just like Aaron Delesie, Lisa Vorce and...
Welcome SMP-ers! It's high time we took you with us on a fun new adventure we call Living and share all of those must-haves that we crave day after day after day. Whether we've said I-do's or not. And we're kicking things off with this stunner of a home designed by crazy-talented Australian architect & designer, Greg Natale. Every inch of this space has been carefully crafted in the prettiest of ways and if this is what sets...
If you thought the first part of today's affair was beautiful, you're going to want to crawl through your computer screen over the second part. That dress by Monique Lhuillier that literally induced squeals heard round the office. The ceremony and reception that were crafted into pure magic under a canopy...
From the second I caught wind that Mindy Weiss was deep in the throws of planning her son's wedding to his love Tali, I just knew this wedding needed to find a pretty home on SMP. And the good ol' Texas cheerleader spirit fingers came out when Mindy and Elizabeth bestowed the goods. Not only is the beauty in the details lovingly crafted by Mindy Weiss but it's the sheer joy and love found...
When I was a little girl, playing dress up equaled putting on the longest, most glamorous gown I could get my little hands on; often from my mom's closet. And you know what? Things haven't changed all that much. I still feel my prettiest when I'm wearing a gown. Except this time it's from my own closet or in this case, from the gown maven that is...
Everyone who's met me knows that I'm a pink girl. Which thankfully played out really well when I gave birth to both a wedding blog that celebrates all things pink and then an actual girl who is even more obsessed with the rosy hue than I am. Then when you layer on the fact that this next pink-hued beauty was photographed by our faves at Birds of a Feather and designed by our other faves at...
Some like it classic, myself included, and we all like it gorgeous. Are you with me? Gia Canali just might be the reigning Queen of gorgeous. Her photographs are the ones we dream about; that can transport us right to this Bel Air garden made even more lovely by Delicate Details and Flowerwild. Think layers of...
By day you can find me blogging about wedding after gorgeous wedding, but in my free time I consider myself the unofficial President of the Donna Morgan fan club – and it has everything to do with those dresses. They are bridesmaid dresses that I would wear in a millisecond and I just know the leading ladies in my life would too. Hence why Donna Morgan...
When a wedding this pretty comes across our desk, it's not just a happy day. It's like this big sigh of "this is why I am never allowed to complain about my job" happy day. Because in life, beauty this rich and layered is decidedly rare and it easily reminds you that even on your cloudiest day, when it comes to weddings, all is good in the world. Designed by the lovely Joy de Vivre with flowers by...
Valentine's Day has taken on a whole new meaning since our littlest SMP-ers arrived. For my daughter, it's a day of pure magic. Pretty, pink and red magic with sprinkles and sparkles and glitter on top. And she looks forward to it from the moment we pack up the Christmas stockings. So this little celebration, crafted especially for the little ones (and their busy mommy's) is in Audrey's honor. It's a full day made just for the messy, grimy, perfect little nuggets that always make our day that...
Somewhere on the corner of Jose Villa and anything and everything he photographs lies my happy place. And that happy place is exactly where I want to be right now because it entails a modern wedding crafted by Laurie Arons that will completely blow your mind and will forever live on our favorites list. Tucked inside are crazy good invites by ...
If you happen to mention Birds of a Feather around SMP HQ, you enviably will hear a few squeals following. We are just a tad bit obsessed with the talented team behind that name, and really can you blame us? Because just about everything (ok, actually everything) they touch turns into wedding, fashion or home gold. They are basically a triple threat of fabulous, constantly producing drool-worthy images for us to pin, favorite and...
Long before the Boy and the Church and the "I Do's" came The Vera. You may know her better as Vera Wang, designer of wildly beautiful gowns. But to me, she's so, so much more. She's an icon. One that has transformed the way I think about weddings and one whose design I eagerly shimmied into on my wedding day. And I felt like a princess. That is why I love Vera Wang. But enough gushing — we're here to talk shop. Vera isn't just your go...
You might recognize this wedding from the latest issue of Pacific Weddings (which is gorg by the way) but one look at it and we knew we had to have more. So dream team Tec Petaja + Bash, Please graciously sent us a whole collection of new imagery and to say that we fell madly in love was putting it embarassingly mild. I even...
I really don't even know where to begin with this wedding. Of course there are the hold-your-breath beautiful images that our friend Ryan Ray captured. And the this-can't-be-real farm backdrop complete with perfect horses and dressed up vintage bicycles. But then there is also this bride and this groom. Who are so madly in love I almost think I should look away. But then I can't. Because they are just so lovely and the wedding that...
