The minute I laid eyes on the ridiculously adorable flower girls in this next wedding...I knew we had a keeper. Then I saw the stunning bride, the fresh totally laid back style, the Southern California vibe done so so right. And well, it was a no brainer. Dawn and Joe tied the knot in one of the most thoughtfully designed, lovingly crafted weddings I've ever seen...hand picking vendors that they not only respected, but that meshed with their own unique personalities. A quality that is so...
Remember the amazing "Ring It. Sing It." Holiday Contest that our favorite diamond gurus at Blue Nile hosted...you know, where one lucky winner was gifted the perfect proposal weekend complete with a diamond engagement ring from Blue Nile, a trip to NYC and the chance to propose live at NASDAQ!?
Aside from being insanely beautiful, the reason that I fell so hard for this next little number is that the couple did what we preach over and over on SMP...they created a wedding brand. A perfect detail that was threaded through each and every element of the day. Actually, they created two brands which is even better. The gorgeous monogram crest and the amazing use of herbs. For me, a wedding brand is that key ingredient that will take your wedding style to another level. It brings a sense...
I want to marry this next wedding. Seriously. I want to marry this wedding and live happily ever after together. It's just that beautiful. Which doesn't come as any surprise considering the photographer behind the lens was Tanja Lippert who always sends us the greatest weddings ever. The kind of weddings that make you cringe with jealousy and cheer with delight at the exact same time. And this one, just might be her best...
By now, most of you are probably face first into a plate of turkey, stuffing and mashed potatoes. But for those of you that aren't...we've got you covered. The fabulous Melody over at Innove Events sent today's little dose of inspiration our way and we thought it was the perfect way to celebrate all of those little things we are thankful for. Like jars billy balls and apple pie, like little jars of of pumkin pie and shot glasses filled to...
If you're still at work, dreaming about the moment the clock strikes five and you can check out for Turkey day...we're here to make the last few hours just a bit sweeter. Oh and did we mention that we're blogging TOMORROW so if you're not celebrating or if you have to work, we've got you covered. But in the meantime, we thought you just might fall in love with this next little beauty. Sent our way by the lovely Kelly over at...
Spectacular seems to be the word of the day! Earlier we featured a gorgeous wedding from Gulnara Studio that was simply spectacular! But that is also the precise word that came to mind when viewing Dorian and Kevin's formal yet whimsical New Jersey wedding. The floral designs will knock your socks off! ...
Simply put, this wedding will take your breath away. It's the incredible fog that rolled in, the total understated beauty, the sophisticated but homegrown style. It's every insanely elegant detail that went into designing the most beautiful wedding ever. Plus it was photographed to beyond perfection by Casey and Drea Cunningham of Cunningham Photo Artists...so you just KNOW that it's going to be good.
Although this adorable DIY wedding is a little bit Summer inspired, we couldn't help but share it with you guys...especially because of the warm, yummy touches that the bride and groom seemed to infuse into each and every detail. Plus I have this thing for yellow and gray weddings. And for succulents. And cute couples that are madly in love. So, for me...this one was a no brainer. If you'd like to see even more...
Good morning friends. I know. Monday mornings are, well, challenging. Especially on a holiday week where you know that a turkey and some mashed potatoes are just around the corner. But, we're here to make things just a touch easier with one pretty wedding after another, starting off with this absolutely lovely, totally green inspired wedding that photographer Julie Mikos sent our way. It's simple, it's beautiful and it will remind all...
We are always asked what the one piece of advice we would give to all brides would be if we had the chance. And we generally say the same thing...splurge on things that will truly add something to your wedding and skimp on those that guests will barely remember. Case in point, the welcome bag. Although it's lovely to get a paper bag with some water, some peanuts and a map thrown in, it's also money spent that isn't always appreciated...or remembered. I know, that stings. But it's really true.
Every now and then I see a set of wedding photographs that are so beautiful, so mesmerizing, I am actually tempted to order prints for my own home. Then I realize that it's someone else's wedding and that people might think that was a little weird. So instead, we preserve them here on the blog where I can come pore over them time and time again. Such is the case with this next wedding, photographed to undeniable perfection by...
If ever there was a wedding that looked just like this, and if ever I was lucky enough to be a guest, I think I would die right there on the spot. This is the most gorgeous wedding inspiration I've seen in a long time and I can SO see it translated into a real wedding...particularly in a really cool loft space. Designed by the girls at Luxe Fete Event Planning and Design Studio, this is one of those features where you can...
I have to admit. Before I ever fell in love with this wedding...I fell in love with the wedding cakes. It was the one picture that just totally stole my heart and convinced me to look a little deeper at this absolutely charming, totally DIY affair. Of course it helps to have one of the most amazing backdrops that just happens to be your parents backyard, but still. This wedding is the definition of rustic elegance and I for one, am smitten. Photographed by Lori Huneke of...
We were all a bit dazzled by yesterday's Navy Blue and Pink Bahamian affair that Kristin Vining sent our way...and we should all be prepared to be equally as enamored with this next little Kristin Vining number. It's contemporary, it's chic, it's everything a modern bride could ever want...and so much more. Plus you...
I told you. This wedding is pure bliss...and in the most steal-worthy way possible. Photographed by the ridiculously talented Kristin Vining and designed by the fab Lindsey Regan Thorne at Weddings and the City, it's one of those weddings that you can stare at for literally hours and still be just as enamored as the moment you first laid eyes on it. And you...
Good morning SMP-ers! Today's first wedding is quite possibly going to sky rocket to the most beloved SMP wedding of all time and we couldn't be more excited to get things started. It's a 2-parter so you might want to grab a cup of coffee and get nice and comfy for a morning of total Bahamian gorgeousness. So. We always love the work that Kristin Vining sends our way. Her photography generally leaves us totally inspired...
Along with the rest of the world, one of my very favorite blogs is The Pioneer Woman. I heart Ree big time and am a little jealous of just how chic she makes Western look. Well, the moment I laid eyes on this next little wedding...I thought that this just might be the exact wedding that Ree would plan if she was doing it all over again. Photographed by the absolutely wonderful...
Sometimes, it's the totally handmade affairs that completely steal our hearts. The weddings where you can see all of the love, all of the fun, all of the passion that went into crafting each and every detail. Such is the case with this next little number, photographed by one of our favorites, Julie Mikos. With a couple pairs of scissors, a hot glue gun and a teeny tiny budget, this bride and groom designed a wedding that has made me...

Scheduled to go LIVE November 17th, the workshop will be filled to the brim with everything you need to know BEFORE dropping that chunk of photography change from your wedding day budget.
