I thought that this next little bit of gorgeousness was the perfect finale to our super girly, all-about-the-pretty kind of day. It's the video that the ridiculously skilled Kevin Von Qualen put together exclusively for SMP from this amazing From Inspiration to Reality Shoot using a vintage Super 8 medium. And it's...
It's been pretty girly on SMP today. Pink flowers, frilly details, totally pretty styles. And I've loved every bit of it. But don't worry, the frilly fun is no where near done as we have one of the sweetest, most charming weddings I've seen in a long time. Photographed by the talented Amanda at Orchard Cove Photography, this wedding is complete loveliness.
We are taking a little pause in today's gorgeousness to tell you about a super cool, super innovative workshop held by Flowerwild that will be happening April 26th and 27th in Santa Barbara. When I tell you that it is going to be amazing, I am hardly doing it justice. Seriously. Think Jose Villa on photography, Joel Serrato on film, Duet Weddings on styling and of course, Kate of...
Okay, so this isn't exactly a wedding. But it was so stinking adorable, I just couldn't help myself. It was sent to us by Jen Huang, who is an incredible photographer and behind some of SMP's most popular celebrations (click here and click here for...
So in honor of St. Patrick's Day, Shannon Leahy put together THE coolest Irish inspired photoshoot ever and we loved it so much, that we've asked her to stick around a little bit longer today and share the secrets behind the gorgeous handfasting ceremony. It's such a lovely tradition and one that I know so many of you will find pretty freaking awesome.
Another little known fact. Sometimes, I dance around the house singing "Tim Finnegan Lived in Walkin' Street..." Okay, not sometimes. A lot. So much so, that my daughter starts giggling the minute I put my arms in their appropriate jig position, knowing exactly what's coming next. So, when I saw this amazing Irish inspired shoot that the insanely lovely Shannon Leahy designed and...
Little known fact. Abby Larson, previously Abby McLucas, is about as Irish as they come. From my fiery temper to my love of the Clancy Brothers, my Irish heritage is one that I am very, very proud to call my own. As is the ridiculously talented Shannon Leahy, the designer behind our next bit of inspiration. It's a modern Irish wedding done SO so right, with steal-worthy details that would fit just about any style of wedding.
I am so excited that the incredibly talented trio behind some of my ALL TIME favorite DIY projects on SMP is back with another perfect little lovely. Remember these ridiculously darling pinwheels that were actually debuted in the loveliest of photoshoots ever? Um, yeah.
I am crazy about this wedding for three very simple reasons. It's a foodie wedding. Awesome. The bride is as lovely as they come. Which I love. And the photography by Erik Ekroth is simply stunning. It's one of those weddings that you just wish you had a ticket to, that you just know was a magical night. Love, love, love.
I know that you guys are desperate for some cool, not-your-standard-ballroom-wedding Ballroom Weddings. Well today, I come bearing ballroom gifts that I know you are going to LOVE. Perhaps a little more luxurious than many of you are planning but I am pretty sure you will all find inspiration, despite your budget, thanks to the ridiculously gorgeous teal and orange color palette and the super cool details. With floral and event design by...
There is just something about this wedding. It's love, true love. And the fact that it was all done by the beautiful bride and her friends & family...well, swoon central. Click here to see more.

If this is the way that people celebrate life, love and all things wedding in Colombia...beam me up Scotty. This wedding was actually submitted by the bride's best friend, Valeria, whose adorable wedding we featured a few months back. And who, along with her husband Juan Felipe Rubio, happened to be the photographers behind these...
As some of you know, we've cozied up to Darcy, Shira and the fabulous team at Martha Stewart Weddings to offer up a Style Me Pretty Real Wedding every month on The Bride's Guide. It's been such a fun collaboration (I mean come on, people...it's Martha) and one that we are so excited to unveil every few weeks. Our next real wedding, which is...
You know that we seriously heart DIY brides here on SMP. In a big way. It's the perfect handcrafted details, the loving touches that you made while watching TV in your living room, the moments of cutting and pasting, of stamping and sticking...that really bring the charm to a wedding. And when it comes to DIY projects, it's the invitations that completely set the tone. So when Vistaprint approached us about giving away a complete...
Before we get into today's gorgeousness, I wanted to let everyone know that it's your LAST CHANCE to register for Wedding 360...an amazing wedding bootcamp for vendors that is bringing together some of the most incredible artists, business people and visionaries all under one roof to talk shop, to inspire beautiful weddings and to teach you how to think forward when it comes to growing your business. It's a pretty awesome opportunity...
The secret's out. I am a total and complete reality TV junkie. It's actually quite sad. The Housewives (every city, though the OC is my current fav), Idol, Project Runway...you name it, I'm probably watching it. And this season of The Bachelor, despite swearing to myself I wasn't going to get involved, was amazing. So when I heard that one of our all time favorite photogs was the official photographer for Jason and Molly's wedding, I decided to make it an All...
Today is all about Aaron on SMP. Aaron Delesie, one of our all time favorite photographers and the talent behind some of our all time favorite weddings. And although I am about to reveal my own dirty little secret (reality TV people...get your mind out of the gutter), it's so worth it. Yep. We just got word that Aaron was named the official wedding photographer for...wait for it....THE BACHELOR WEDDING! When I found out, I screamed so...
I hope everyone had a great weekend! We are starting the week off with THE most gorgeous series of weddings you've ever seen. Seriously, seriously gorgeous weddings. All photographed by the forever talented Aaron Delesie. Over the years, we've fallen pretty much head over heels in love with Aaron's work as it's possibly the most romantic, most ethereal, most gorgeous photography on the planet. Plus, Aaron and his lovely wife Jen, are...
If you aren't already totally and completely charmed, wait till you see this next set of images that our fabulous From Inspiration to Reality team sent our way. I seriously can't get over the details and am considering throwing a party just so that I can make some of them. Oh and did I mention that the gorgeous bride also writes her own COMPLETELY fabulous blog that I'm sure you all know about called Eat Drink Pretty. So super...
One of the reasons that I have fallen hard for our From Inspiration to Reality feature is that the ideas can translate in so many different ways. From rehearsal dinners to engagement parties, from birthday parties to full on weddings. It's like pretty eye candy with perfect ideas tucked into each and every corner. And this shoot is one of the best, hands down.
