The first time I laid eyes on this field of lavender was when we featured this beloved SMP wedding that Jose Villa and Lisa Vorce did. Aside from the fact that the wedding was CRAZY gorgeous and the bride + groom were basically supermodels, it was those jaw droppingly gorgeous backdrops that made a...
Just a little reminder to all of you beautistas out there that we've cozied up with the team at Dior to bring you step-by-step instructions on achieving your very own Dior wedding look. Our first installment is all about beachy chic with a style that is understated, effortless and all girl.

Michael + Anna Costa....how do I count the ways. You've given us SUCH a lovely day of wedding gorgeousness, with photographs that would make even the grumpiest of wedding gurus smile in total delight. And this next fete is no exception. With the modelesque bride and groom, the intimate but oh-so-romantic styling, the flowers that Camilla Svensson Burn crafted with pure love. And, of...

Before I even begin, let me just say that SMP Editor and one of my fav girls ever, Erin, is TOTALLY jealous of me right now. Because this next gorgeous fete just might be the real life version of her own wedding re-do. A sweet, So-Cal soiree complete with succulents tucked into each and every super chic corner...even adorning the perfect Sweet and Saucy cake. It's almost as if the bride climbed right into Erin's noggin and used...
Another week of loveliness has come and gone here at SMP. We've seen enough pretty to last a lifetime and we are pretty sure that our heads are spinning with images perfect bouquets and first kisses swirling around in wedding heaven. And even though the weekend is here and we're ready to kick off our heels (or in this case, our slippers and yoga pants), we couldn't resist sharing one last bit of wedding goodness. So pretty that you just might in fact squeal out loud or spontaneously combust or...
This next little number is so SMP, it's almost too good to be true. Cherries tucked into perfect milk glass bowls, big arrangements of baby's breath, bridesmaids decked out in perfect red shoes. And a bride that is equal parts timeless and chic. It's the quintessential all American wedding and it's got SMP written all over every last detail. And the Amelia Island backdrop? Ummm, perfection. Photographed by...
I'm having a bad day. I know, I've never actually said that out loud on SMP, but it's true. It's just been one of those wish-I -could-go-back-to-bed-and-start-over days. Well it WAS one of those days, until I laid my eyes on this next little beauty of a wedding. The kind of wedding that single-handedly turned my not so great day into a huge, wedding smile. I'm not sure if it's the girl crush that I have on the bride, the obsession with all of the perfect little details that she infused or the...
If you've ever wondered what the word romance really looks like...look no further. This wedding, in all its vintage-elegant-crazy beautiful glory is all romance. So stunning that it almost makes me blush, with photographs by Studio Castillero that are like a perfect little window into a blissfully beautiful day. The bride is the epitome of classic, the details are enough to make you cry and the boy...well, he's pretty darn cute...
Two things that I seriously love more than words...the insanely awesome Los Angeles venue, Marvimon that literally overflows with coolness. And Our Labor of Love by Heidi, the fab photographer who snapped this next set of gorgeous pics. Put them together and you have total wedding magic. Oh and add to that little equation, a bride who screams chic, a whole mess of perfect...
I was looking back through our real wedding archives yesterday and stumbled across THIS insanely beautiful wedding. It was given to us by my friend and crazy talented photographer, Aaron Delesie way back in the day when SMP was still finding its sea legs. Since that wedding, we've featured Aaron's work time and time and time...
So what does one of the world's most talented wedding photographers do when it comes time to shoot his own engagement? Well, he hires Elizabeth Messina whose photographs can make even the bitterest of hearts crack into a huge wedding smile. This, my friends, is the e-session of Jose Villa and...
When I spotted this wedding for the first time, I thought it was stunning. Beyond stunning. One of those weddings that takes it a step further from the traditional rustic fare and is infused with so many thoughtful, gorgeous details. And then I saw the dream team behind this day and it all made sense. The ladies of Bash, Please have completely out done themselves with this gem and its rustic meets organic inspired design. And who better...
For anyone that knows, loves or stalks the fabulous Elsie Larson from A Beautiful Mess, you have officially hit the wedding jackpot. Because the lovely, oh-so-lovely, crazy talented doll of a blogger has offered to share her recent wedding with us here on SMP. Yep. She chose Style Me Pretty to show off her beautiful, messy, take your breath away wedding and I couldn't be more thrilled. And with...
The images that Kirsten Ellis of Beaux Arts Photographie shares are always total and complete magic from beginning to end. We've been known to fall victim to a whole afternoon of image gazing thanks to this lovely lady and we fear it is about to happen again with this perfect little gem held at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum. Hand crafted with a...
When I was at Engage 2011, Sylvia Weinstock said that the cake is the one true centerpiece of the wedding. Well in the case of this next pretty little wedding, it's the cakes (plural) that have completely stolen my heart. And the bride's gorgeous dress. And flowers. And the paper goods. Okay, so there were many centerpieces of this affair that I fell in love with...
A huge and hearty welcome to anyone that is popping on to Style Me Pretty after watching CBS Sunday Morning. We were humbled, thrilled and beyond giddy about the feature and thought we'd take a moment to share a little bit more about Style Me Pretty and what we're all about. So grab that third cup of coffee, kick your feet up and enjoy some serious pretty.
Everyday we feature...
It's been a Jose Villa kind of day here on SMP. With one perfect piece of wedding candy after another. Well, we're wrapping up this Jose party with one last burst of...
For anyone that is a regular SMP reader you know that I am a total sucker for two things...perfect white weddings and anything Jose Villa. So what do you get when you put those two little numbers together? You get a very happy blogger who just happens to be dorking out on many different levels...from squeals of glee, to wedding butterflies, to maybe even a high kick or two. Or three. You get a dancing, twirling, whirling...
You would think that after four years of blogging about one romantic love story after another, I would be a bit desensitized to all of the mushy stuff. That I might just watch something like this next little gem and not shed a single tear. WRONG. Totally wrong. I sat here like a baby, bawling my eyes out, grinning from ear to ear, clutching my hands together in total glee. It's a proposal story that the holy-cow-fabulous McKenzie Miller of...
