"For the last 5 years, this sweet bride has dreamed of having her wedding featured on her all-time favorite wedding blog, Style Me Pretty." Ahhhh! I LOVE that! You know, it's so easy for us to sit behind our computers and get lost in a sea of pretty, forgetting that the weddings we are sharing are stirring up that excitement that couples so often need when they are in the thick of planning their own big day. Hearing little nuggets like this bring SUCH joy to our hearts and seeing a wedding...
When I started Style Me Pretty a million years ago, I envisioned a place where mom and pop shops could sit next to celebrity planners. Where the line between editor and reader was blurred. Where we simply came together to celebrate weddings in their many forms and functions, with their million dollar budgets right alongside their backyard charm. But we've gotten away from that. And while I think you can steal ideas from any wedding and make them your own, it's even more fun to see weddings where...
The magic that happens when Event Designer, Tara Guerard, and Photographer, Liz Banfield, work alongside one another...is palpable. And this Charleston wedding that brought the crazy talented pair together is probably one of the most absurdly beautiful, wildly fun weddings we've ever seen. Set against a charming Southern backdrop, with details...
You might know him as one half of Country musics' most loved duos, Dan + Shay, but I know him as the groom behind one of my now all time favorite weddings. And her as the ray of lovely that made this wedding truly sparkle. Welcome to Shay and Hannah's gorgeous Arkansas celebration. Where laughter and love and a whole lot of perfect flowers came together into what I guarantee you will become one of the most popular weddings on...
Today, I feel old. Why, you ask? Well, because my sweet little Kory - whom I've known and loved since she was knee high to a grasshopper - tied the knot in the most sophisticated, chic New Orleans wedding ever and I get to share it with everyone here today! It's a weird feeling. Seeing one of your favorite little squirts grow up into such a stunning bride, plan such a beautiful wedding, give such wise and thoughtful advice. Especially when the fondest memories you have of the aforementioned...
Jen Huang is the photographer behind some of our most loved weddings on Style Me Pretty. She one of those names that is synonymous with quality and an attention to detail that absolutely will take your breath away. Thus, whenever I see Jen's name in my inbox, I get excited. Because I know it's going to be good. Case in point? THIS. Flawlessly coordinated by...
"If you look in the right way you can see the whole world is a garden." A beautiful garden with the prettiest of gowns and the most romantic love story ever. Claire Pettibone inspired this pretty garden wedding shoot with a dress that is equal parts tradition and pure romance. Planned by We Tie the Knots with floral and event...
There are few places as magical and as soulful as Charleston, South Carolina. It's her flawed but storied past. It's her architecture. Her food, her characters, her cocktails. It's the fact that you can walk around at any hour and the street lights still twinkle and the cobblestone still sparkles. And this wedding - photographed beautifully by Clay Austin and designed by...
This sweet as can be Texas affair captured by Lucille Photo + a film by The Crakes is the true definition of classic. Elegant, refined details, gorgeous pastel blooms by Evember and a Bride and Groom with a palpable kind of love. From vintage getaway car to portraits in the rolling...
It's so easy to look at a pretty wedding on the pages of a magazine or a blog much as you would a pretty dress. It's beautiful, the end. But here's the deal with pretty weddings. Tucked inside are often moments and details that are so charming, so personal, so thoughtful that they work their way into your hearts and that very pretty wedding because so much more. Jen Huang, one of our favorite photographers in the world...
A few months ago I mentioned on instagram that Pippin Hill in Charlottesville was my favorite wedding venue in the world. That's a big deal. Because I see a whoooole lot of wedding venues around here. But, when it comes to Pippin Hill, there is no comparison. Knowing the owner, Lynn Easton, also means that I understand the care and thoughtfulness that went into to the planning, designing and maintaining of such a...
We are so SO excited to share this photo turned engagement shoot of Instagram's most adorable pair, Allie & Sam. If you don't know them from Insta, you might have caught one of their YouTube vids that celebrate the LGBTQ community (and their most adorable proposal eeeeever) or on their adventure blog...
Three very short months ago, Charles and Kat traveled to the west coast to be married at the Tehama Golf Club in a charming outdoor ceremony where, as the bride says, they could see the mountains and the sea… a mere three months ago! Sometimes, it’s hard for us to believe that we have the privilege to share couples' stories, dreams and ultimately, reality, in such a short time. Thanks to the incredible contributions...
Next to tiny weddings and sheer wedding dresses, destination celebrations are by far the most popular trend on SMP. And guess what? This gorgeous affair features all three of those very trends and does so in a way that will easily turn said trends into timeless must-haves. Set against the backdrop of Positano, Italy with a gown fit for a princess and a groom who is so clearly in love, this wedding was built by friends and family and a tiny but mighty group of destination vendors - like...
This is a wedding that will warm your heart and wow you in one fell swoop. Stephanie and Mitch were married this past June and celebrated the day at the historic St. Louis Art Museum. This stunning venue has it all: tall ceilings, white walls, beautiful art, and views that will take your breath away. The couple’s wedding day vision was soft, feminine and sweet, yet classic and elegant.
I think this wedding is the very reason that the outdoor, California vibe became so popular amongst the most stylish of couples. Because there is just something so incredible LUXE about dining outdoors amidst a garden and twinkly lights and passed bottles of wine, right!? Well, this duo took that very sentiment into the Chicago Botanic Garden and the result - with photographs by Kristin La Voie and Event Design by...

Before it all began, Anticipate Invitations crafted an amazing stationery suite that started with a Save-The-Date that invited their guests to...
I have known Andre & Sofia - the pair behind destination photography, floral and event design studio Branco Prata - for many years. I originally loved them for their kindness. Now, I love them for that and so much more. Their willingness to put themselves out there creatively, to dream, to ask, to try new things, to be bold when required and to be curated always. This shoot is a representation of that very creativity. That...
This is just one of those weddings that everyone will love. Because it's beautiful. Because the smiles are real. Because you can feel a sense of quiet joy, of restrained elegance, of attention to the finest of details through each and every image.
