Before we dive into our next perfect wedding by Christian Oth, I wanted to let all of you wedding junkies know that we've got some of the pics from the Today Show Wedding and we'll be updating throughout the day. Click here to see all of the fun!
Now, if I had to make a list of my top five favorite venues around the country...
Anytime Christian Oth stops by for an afternoon of gorgeousness is a really good day in my book. In the wedding industry, Christian is a total celebrity. His photographs are shockingly gorgeous and have been featured in some of the most beautiful publications you could ever imagine. And yet while he's still kind of like the cat's meow...he also happens to be really thoughtful, really kind, really authentic. A perfect combination...
Meagan at Maine Season Events always sends us the prettiest weddings. She's just got a way with weddings that is pretty, without being stuffy...elegant, without being over-the-top. And this last little wedding shows off Meagan's skills to perfection. Obviously the backdrop is gorgeous, but more fabulous...are the details. The amazing, homemade cake. The perfectly pretty flowers. The gown, the color palette, the everything.
We're clearing out our overflowing inboxes today and lucky for you guys...that means one gorgeous wedding after another. Pick and choose the ones you want to devour or fall in love with them all. It's totally up to you! This next one come from St. George, Florida and is the epitome of modern tradition. A traditional black and white color palette, paired with modern centerpieces (by Whole Foods!?) and a simple but stunning style. And the cupcakes? Beyond.
This next little number is pure ballroom bliss. The rich, purple palette, the lace details, the traditional styling with hints of total chic. Photographed by Jennifer Dery at the Four Seasons in Aviara, California...this is ballroom at its best. And don't forget, we're just featuring snippets today so if you've fallen in love with this uber elegant style...
Despite the fact that you see one outdoor wedding after another on SMP (and around the web, frankly), we are always, always, always on the search for really beautiful indoor, ballroom style weddings. I had a ballroom wedding myself so I know just how tricky they can be when it comes to design. The yucky carpets, the banquet chairs...you know what I'm talkin' about. Well this ballroom wedding is anything but yucky. It's flat out GORGEOUS and the bride did an incredible job infusing her day...
We're trying something a little new here and are hoping you girls will love the concept as much as we do. Because we heart today's featured wedding by Carter & Cook Event Co. so very much and are having a hard time letting go, we've asked the girls to help us come up with a Buying Guide for...
I think that if ever I had a wedding re-do...I would pull all of my inspiration from this very wedding. It's exactly how I envision my world...laid back elegance, surrounded by friends and family, stylish, unfussy, simple. With tacos. And margaritas. Photographed to absolute perfection by Jill Thomas and designed straight from my wedding dreams by...
Erin Samuell of A Simple Photograph has sent us some pretty great weddings over the last year. But what I loved about this one in particular, was that it didn't take a ridiculous amount of money to pull off an affair that is so completely lovely in its charm and simple but sweet style. From the preppy bridal party to the fresh from the garden flowers and burlap table runners...every little bit of this wedding is all about the pretty. Plus, there are...
Welcome back SMP-ers! I'm hoping that today's first picture perfect wedding will lift your Monday blues and get you excited about all of the wedding goodness up for grabs this week. We're kicking things off with a wedding that managed to find the perfect balance between total elegance and total fun. And it all came down to the adorable personalities of the bride and groom. Photographed by the husband and wife duo at...
If ever there was a match made in wedding heaven, it just might be between Jill La Fleur and Jose Villa. With Jill's insanely stylish approach to design and Jose's flawless approach to photography, we simply can't imagine it getting any better than this. Oh wait. Add to that duo a little bit of Joel Serrato's...
We're featuring a full day of Jill La Fleur goodness, one of our favorite Little Black Book designers who set out to design a series of inspiration shoots filled to the brim with steal worthy details and ideas just for SMP. And this next shoot is for all of you East Coast girls that know JUST how perfect a late Summer, early Fall New England wedding can...
Before we dive into today's photography features we wanted to share this little clip that Weddings on Film sent us from yesterday's Carmel Valley Wedding. It is so gorgeous, we simply couldn't pass it up. And since we kind of fell in love with the couple and the story behind their day, we thought it was the perfect way to...
The Smog Shoppe in Los Angeles is one of my all time favorite venues. It's the perfect combination of elegance, style and total approachability and to be honest, some of the best weddings we've seen on SMP have come straight out of this fabulous venue. And this next one, photographed by Love Ala Photography, is at the top of our list. Not only is it completely...
If you are the kind of SMP reader that devours the photographs but sometimes skips the text...this is the day to break that habit. Of course, the images that Tanja Lippert snapped of this lovely, lovely wedding are beyond (as they generally are when it comes to Tanja), but really it's the story that keeps bringing tears to my eyes. And the thoughtful, hands-on, completely personal approach that this couple took to planning...
There is something so utterly romantic about this next featured affair. Photographed by the talented team at m three studio, it's elegant and timeless and when you read the details that went into the day, you see that it's also a perfect representation of the gorgeous couple. But what I love the most about this pretty, pretty wedding is that the style is such a mish-mash of all of the little things I love...an elegant backdrop and an...
Most of you girls (and boys) know Jackie Wonders because of the awesome DIY projects that she's helped craft for SMP. You know, those fabulous fabric yo-yo's and the super cool book table numbers (that you can see if you sign up for our newsletter, hint hint). But Jackie also happens to be the photographer...
Before we call it quits on this lovely, lovely day...we HAD to share the film that Curtis Heyne of Living Cinema sent us from today's featured wedding at the Biltmore. There is one caveat though. You HAVE to grab a tissue or two because this gorgeous interpretation of the day is so beautiful, the...
We have another positively delightful wedding from our dear friend Aaron Delesie to share and this one is honest-to-goodness magic. Not that we expected any less from a vendor list that reads like a who's who among fabulous wedding warriors. Beth Helmstetter lent her keen eye for design to create a day that is movie star glamorous and paired ever so nicely with floral art from...
Aaron Delesie and I go way back. He was one of the very first vendors to put faith in SMP and become one of our beloved Little Black Book members and he has always been one of my favorite SMP contributors. The weddings that he sends our way are soft and romantic, ethereal and completely timeless and yet the photographs are always infused with that Aaron Delesie style that I love so very much. And lucky for us, we have TWO Delesie...
