Lisa Lefkowitz seems to reign Queen when it comes to drool inducing weddings. She either gets the BEST clients ever or she has a magical ability to photograph every wedding so that it is more than magazine worthy. I'm thinking that it's probably a little of both. Well, this San Francisco beauty is no different. It's tradition with a twist...a classic approach with contemporary styling. With a who's who of Bay Area vendors including...
If I could live forever inside of this next perfect wedding...I could die happy. The backdrop is of course insanely beautiful, but it's the photographs that Mary Beth Tyson snapped, that have completely taken my breath away. Add to that a bride that could quite possibly be the most lovely bride I've ever seen, with her laid back completely effortless beauty, a handsome groom in a fedora, their three year old little piece of...
I'm pretty sure this bride is my new best friend. She is so insanely chic, one look and I instantly feel a little frumpy. From her aaaah-dorable cocktail dress to her perfect birdcage veil and insane Jimmy Choos, every little bit of this bride is gorgeous. Plus, she managed to design and craft a New York City wedding without straining their wallet...a feat that is FAR from easy. So I love her that much more. The dreamy groom, the intimate details and the charming style doesn't hurt either.
You know...there is a reason that we are kind of obsessed with California weddings on SMP. It's that they have their own attitude. That laid back, effortless elegance that we love to see in a wedding. Kind of like when your mom taught you that the best applied make-up should look like you aren't wearing any at all. And this one, sent to us by two of our all time favorite photographers, Erin and Courtney of Erin Hearts Court...
For those of you that are just coming down off a long holiday weekend and have a slight workday hangover, we've got just the ticket to make you feel all shiny and new again. It's a sweet, pretty, nothing-but-lovely kind of wedding where the bride and groom put so much thought and attention into each and every detail...you almost feel like you were right there with them. Photographed by Sweet Caroline Photo in Austin, Texas, there is...
It's been kind of a great day on SMP. One fabulous wedding after another where you can literally pick and choose the weddings that you want to devour. Well, we just might have saved the best for last...and it's Vegas Baby (that was bad, I know). I chose this wedding because I am obsessed with the delicate balance between timeless elegance and modern style that the bride acheived. It's a fresh, totally smart approach to wedding design and the photographs by...
You gotta love a bride who bucks tradition and completely rocks a mint hued wedding dress in lieu of the standard fare. But that isn't even what I love most about this next number. It's that the bride and groom didn't take themselves too seriously. Instead, they designed a wedding that reflected their own laid back elegance and was filled with details that gave guests a window into their lives. Photographed by Tory Williams...
This next little number is pretty defined. It's got the SMP stamp of approval for sure and is definitely going to be inspiration for all of you brides out there looking for sophistication and style with a bit of spunk. Think insanely beautiful flowers by Martha Andrews, a gorgeous color palette, and little bits of personality threaded into every detail. EXACTLY the kind of wedding we like to see grace our blog. Photographed...
I know that we've been featuring a ton of barns lately...but honestly, it's hard to turn down a wedding THIS gorgeous. With fresh from the garden style flowers, homemade desserts that have left me REALLY hungry and a bride whose style is both ridiculously elegant and yet totally approachable...this is one of those weddings that you just know was magic. Photographed by Tara Kneiser of Dixie Pixel Photography...we've definitely...
I have to admit, it was the bride alone that took my breath away when I first laid eyes on this wedding. Aside from being crazy beautiful, she's got this 1920's vibe that is so utterly romantic, so insanely lovely. But when I looked a little further and read the story that she sent me, it was the way that this pair approached their wedding that really left the lasting impression. I don't want to spoil the fun so I'll just tell you that...
I'm always on the lookout for cool, new approaches to traditionally themed styles. Take the beach wedding for example. I totally heart how this couple took a style that has been done and done and done again...infusing it with a modern style and clean, simple details. The effect is still very beachy and yet the whole day has this insanely chic vibe threaded throughout every moment. Love, love, love that. Photographed by...
Well, we're back in Boston after four awesome days in Palm Beach. And, I'm kind of re-thinking this whole "we should move to Boston" thing because of the four seasons. Which basically translates to really cold, pretty wet days. It's probably just a Palm Beach hangover but still. Leaving the sun was a tad challenging. Anyway, I'm padding the blow with this absolutely darling wedding sent our way by the beautiful bride, Jasmin, and her groom, Steve...who were all about the sweet but totally...
So this might be a little bit blah for some of you brides out there but for those of you that are as wedding obsessed as I am, I know you will totally appreciate the awesomeness of Engage 2010, the educational conference for wedding pro's down at The Breakers in Palm Beach that we're lucky enough to be attending. Masterminded by the genius that is...
We are back with the dreamy, eating-every-bit-of-it-up second part of today's featured wedding photographed by Braedon Photography. And to say that Sonia Hopkins of XOXO Bride outdid herself with this rustic meets glam wedding is a total understatement. It is complete perfection right down to the Bride's tippy toes. The chandeliers, the romance, the holy gorgeous flowers by...
Okay, wedding warriors. You're going to need to sit down for this next beauty. It's Part I of one of the most spectacular weddings I've ever seen...taking the concept of a Barn Wedding to an entirely new level of gorgeous. We're talking full on glam with details that would make even the most critical wedding connoisseur swoon. Designed by Sonia Hopkins of XOXO Bride and photographed to perfection by...
I've never been a huge fan of the word "theme." It kind of conjures up thoughts of overdone blah, of too pink, too silly, too everything. And yet writing a wedding blog and having seen literally thousands upon thousands of weddings, I have been proven wrong time and time again. So now, I'm just thinking that we need a new word for theme. How about Inspired? Better, right? Well, this "inspired" wedding captured the subtle beauty of the...
Before we get into today's wedding goodness (and frankly, you are going to DIE when you see the 2 insanely beautiful weddings we have lined up today), I wanted to say a HUGE thank you to a couple of people who are making my week so beyond fabulous, so beyond anything really. Tait and I are down in Palm Beach at The Breakers for Engage '10 and in a word...it's bliss.
This is quite possibly the sweetest wedding I've ever seen. It's delicate and girly and yet overflowing with total style. I kind of wish my life looked exactly like this wedding, complete with that gorgeous dress (that the bride and the groom's mother designed and MADE) hanging in my closet. Created by the insanely talented bride, along with one of our favorite event designers EVER, Brooke Keegan, and photographed beautifully by...
We've had a full day of Christian Oth goodness and I for one am a little bit giddy and a LOT inspired. It's been one insanely beautiful wedding after another and before we let Christian go, we HAD to get a little insider info from him. You know, the good stuff that you always wish you knew but is so hard to find out. So, we asked Christian to stick around and give us a little advice that we could share with all of you...
So. These might be the most beautiful photographs I've ever seen. Seriously, I'm not just crying wolf this time. The Jackson Hole backdrop is just about as picturesque as you can possibly get but add to that an amazing photographer, Alison Mayfield for Christian Oth, and a bride that just screams style and you have this picture perfect recipe for gorgeousness. Especially when the...
