Although we've recently been on the hunt for perfect indoor wedding, exquisite ballroom affairs and super chic modern soiree's...we simply couldn't resist posting this straight-from-the-heavens vintage style celebration. It was, after all, photographed by The Nichols, who we seriously love here at SMP and it did happen to have a bride that DIY-ed the wedding from the save the dates up. So all in all, we thought it fit right in on the...
Before we head off to the weekend goodness, I wanted to take a minute and share with all of you wedding junkies the details from Engage 2011...held at the INSANELY beautiful The Grand Del Mar in San Diego. For those of you that are new to SMP, Engage is a biannual wedding conference that gathers the best in the industry to swap war stories, knowledge, insight and excitement with fellow big hitters and up-n-comers alike. It's...
I have a confession. After four years and over 5,000 real weddings, I am officially a color convert. Don't get me wrong...I'd still saturate my world in white if I didn't have two very messy little kids. But when it comes to weddings, especially those that glisten in the gorgeous Texas sun, I kind of love me some color. Bright pops of gorgeous color. Especially when it's photographed by the crazy talented duo The Nichols. And this...
It is not too often that we reserve an entire day for one wedding but with a Jose Villa number like this, we're almost tempted to reserve a whole week. Instead, we are kicking back and letting the gorgeous images do all the work while visions of the perfect wedding re-dos dance in our heads. And these nuptials of photography talent KT Merry are all out romance. Ohhhh, the...
Most of you are fully aware of my not so secret obsession with Jose Villa's photographs. They instantly send me into a tailspin of giddiness and all out squealing. Of course that is a totally normal day at SMP but believe me, Jose gets extra squeals because his imagery is always perfect. Perfectly romantic, perfectly dreamy, perfectly gorgeous. So much so, that we are devoting an entire day to one undeniably stunning wedding. And...
So, we've been to the most beautiful seaside wedding today...filled to the brim with corals that will make your heart flutter, details that will make you jump for wedding joy and a style that will send you clear over the edge. We showed you how to break it all down into a steal-worthy wedding. And now...we're taking you on a honeymoon. A seriously gorgeous, what-I-look-like-in-my-dreams honeymoon. Although I...
You spoke, we listened. We totally get it that inspirational shoots aren't always the best wedding blueprints, so we're taking it upon ourselves to offer some easy to translate tips for today's KT Merry Islmorada wedding shoot. We opted for cost effective alternatives to...
This next little number just might be the inspiration for my wedding re-do. You know, the wedding that I wished I'd had on some remote island with only my hubs, a gorgeous gown and a beautiful ocean blue backdrop. Well, the fabulous KT Merry just might have been thinking the same thing when she helped to craft this INSANE seaside inspiration shoot. Complete with peonies, a show-stoppingly gorgeous dress and jewels that literally make my heart...

I know that we generally flood SMP with one gorgeous real wedding after another, but if you look a little closer, we also saturate our site with some of the most beautiful wedding photographs in the world. Literally. Of American Photo Magazines Top Ten Photographers in the World for 2011, four of them are a part of our Little Black Book. And an additional eight have been past recipients of the ridiculously huge...
Every single time we lay our adoring eyes on an Australian wedding, we are completely sucked in. They seriously know how to throw a pretty party down under. And this little number is all out girly goodness...almost like a cake that is just too pretty to eat. I say almost because we are totally taking a big bite out of this one. Crafted by White Room Events who isn't afraid to drape a wedding in a sea of heart palpitating pastels...
I've always said that one of the best decisions I ever made was hiring a cinematographer to film my wedding. I still pull it out time after time to relive the day, to see our moment in a way that is so incredibly tangible. So real that it seems like I'm right there in that pretty white dress all over again. So every time we get a video to accompany a real wedding feature, we smile. And if that film happens to be from Joel Serrato...
You guys know what tends to happen to me when I get my hands on a Jose Villa wedding. I turn into a five year old who just took her first steps inside a candy store. Giddy, flustered, squealing here and there for no particular reason. Well, that's exactly what I did when I opened my email to see this gem of a wedding sitting there all perfect and pretty. Then I saw the vendor list...
I have a girlfriend that has been a bridesmaid like eight times. And every time, the bride SWEARS she'll be able to wear her bridesmaid dress again. But honestly, take a peak in your own closet and you'll see that is not always the case. And I say that in the nicest possible way, I swear. Well, as usual, Dessy is way ahead of the game. They've just put the finishing touches on their new project...
Now THIS is a Style Me Pretty wedding. Aside from being ALL about the pretty, the drop dead gorgeous bride (who looks like a celebrity that I just can't pinpoint) designed a day that was literally overflowing with SMP style details. The Keep Warm tags that we did for Libby's Nashville wedding, the anthropology meets garden inspired design, the printed handkerchief invitations.
I had no idea that a theme wedding could be done so freaking gorgeously (is that a word?) until I met the girls at Amorology. They have taken themed weddings to an entirely new style level, consistently knocking my socks off with one stunning affair after another. You might remember this Jane Austen inspired wedding? Or...
We're shining our pretty little lights over on our new Destination Blog today because the ridiculously lovely wedding has us dreaming about dancing the night away with glittery shoes and a glistening sea. And well, we couldn't help but swoon. If you're just catching up, we recently launched a series of Local Blogs including California...

Each blog will feature totally unique content updated every single day for your obsessing pleasure. We've started with our...
I don't even know where to begin with this next wedding that the crazy talented Lisa Lefkowitz sent our way. Planned by Melissa at MAP Events with flowers by Torryne at Birch, it's the epitome of everything I know and love about San Francisco...classic styling with a hell of a lot of spunk, sophistication with personality...
I feel like this next wedding is a page out of some great romance film. Like Leonardo Di Caprio should be smoking a cigar and Reese Witherspoon should be rocking a sequined gown, riding an elephant in the background. Okay, maybe not an elephant but doing something fabulously glamorous. It's the kind of wedding that just sweeps you up and makes you fall in love all over again. Thanks to the insanely beautiful photography by...
