I know that we seem to preface every post by saying that this next feature is the be-all and end-all of weddings. But this time I really mean it. I swear. Sent to us by Krystel Tien of Couture Events, it's hands down one of the most charming weddings I have ever laid eyes on. Plus it's a DIY affair. Plus plus, it's a budget friendly affair. So all in all, it's kind of a homerun. Oh and the pics by...
Any day that chewing the cud cozies up with Elizabeth Messina is a really good day in my book. These two ladies are what I consider to be THE most talented artists in our industry...with Viola designing the most beautiful wedding invitations and paper goods, and Elizabeth photographing in the most romantic...
I really wish that I was half as cool as this couple. From the fashion to the venue, every little bit of style that they chose is just so freaking cool. It makes me a little bit jealous actually. But not jealous enough to stop myself from completely gushing and going on and on about just how much I love them. Ashley and Drew tied the knot this past November at Laguna Gloria Art Museum in beautiful Austin, Texas. With the goal of bringing in their arts background and their modern but eclectic...
We gave you a sneak peek of this gorgeous wedding last week on The Bride's Guide but we have the entire, beautiful spread here for you today. I fell for this wedding, photographed by Andrea and Casey Cunningham, for a couple of reasons. First, the bride and groom are literally glowing.
For those of you that don't already know about Grapevine...I'm here to shed some really pretty light. Karen Bartolomei, the talent behind the brand, is one of THE best designers that I've ever met, with an incredible sense of style that is completely unique to this industry. Her invitations are kind of beloved by some of the world's most well known event designers and it's easy to see why. Every wedding invitation, every save the...
It's Valentine's Day! Which to a wedding blogger means that it's a day of total gorgeousness and unabashed romance. Not necessarily of the pink and red variety. When we laid eyes on this insanely gorgeous wedding, photographed by Elizabeth Messina, designed by Lisa Vorce and with florals by Mindy Rice, well. Let's just say we...
If there is one thing that every girl wants on Valentine's Day...it's Chanel. Bottom line. So when I saw this FABULOUS Chanel inspired shoot that Yelena at The Stylish Soiree put together, well, I swooned.
The concept behind this shoot was to take the trends, fabrics and themes showcased in the Chanel Spring 2010 Ready to Wear runway show and translate them...
If it seems you can't escape the Valentine's Day hoopla...you're right. So, rather than fight it, I thought we could just embrace this silly holiday (which I love nonetheless) and provide some super adorable, totally wedding applicable V Day inspiration. We have a full day of cuteness here on SMP and even if you aren't planning a wedding, you're sure to find some serious eye candy. Next up, how stinking cute is this shoot that Beka at...
My girlfriend wrote the most charming, totally well written Valentine's Day guide the other day and it made me realize something. I AM a total sucker for this over commercialized, often times completely cheesy holiday. I love it actually. The pinks, the reds, the total girliness of the day. It's so up my ally. So today, I thought I would...
And what's a good Valentine's Day round-up without a little bit of sweetness. Although they've been blogged about from here to high heaven, we couldn't resist sharing a bit more from Amy Atlas's most recent Valentine's Day table...

Here's a little known SMP fact...we use Google for everything. We are actually kind of Google obsessed, from their incredibly easy-to-share and even easier-to-use Google Docs to Google Calendar, which we use for our editorial schedule. The team at Google has served Style Me Pretty well, so our announcement today (which is VERY exciting by the way) is even more thrilling for us.
Google Docs has recently (as in today) launched...
I am the first to admit that my bones just aren't equipped for the serious snow that we've seen this Winter. It just doesn't seem normal to be snowed in day after day. But, I will also be the first to admit that there is just something about a bride in a pretty white dress, stomping around in the pretty white snow. It's kind of a match made in heaven. Even if I don't ever want to be that bride.
Well, Jessica Claire (who you...
When I was little, my mom used to go all out for Valentine's Day. Little bowls filled with pink and red candies, perfect pink flowers, a pink or red outfit that I could wear to school and the sweetest "I love you" card in the world. It's because of my great mom that I am a little bit in love with this holiday and am a firm believer that it's the one day where you can go ALL GIRL. This little bit of inspiration reminded me of those days...

Love it or hate it, Valentine's Day is on its way and we've been hard at work trying to find you some absolutely gorgeous inspiration. Obviously, the first place we always look, is to our Little Black Book vendor blogs. They are the ones that are doing the best stuff around...whether it's a particularly gorgeous pink and red bouquet, or table inspirations that will make you swoon. So, today on the Little Black Book blog, we are going to be bringing you our favorite, totally non-cheesy V-Day...
I think some of the East Coasters who are getting buckets and buckets of snow are ready to cash it in and move South. But, I am here to tell you that those buckets and buckets just happen to make for THE most beautiful weddings. I've always been a little obsessed with Winter weddings but after seeing the photo shoot that Jessica Claire put together...I am officially declaring the Winter wedding the new must have.
We have an ahhhhmazing day on SMP today. Aside from featuring some of the most adorable wedding inspirations a girl could ever want, we also have a pretty great announcement and giveaway coming up this afternoon (or this morning for you West Coasters). It's a very good day on Style Me Pretty so make a little mental note to check back more than once. First up, I thought we could start the day with the most charming, sweet, totally lovely wedding that...
There are a few questions that we get asked over and over and over. One, are you hiring. Two, can we see more ballroom weddings. And three, do we have a favorite wedding website company. Well, the answers to one and two are always and absolutely. And the answer to number three is...Wedding Jo Jo.
Before I started Style Me Pretty, I actually owned a stationery and invitation company called Abby Jean. And if you own a...
Despite my Boston address, I am a total Texas girl. I was raised in a small town outside of Houston where Friday night lights were all that mattered and the Rodeo was the one thing we looked forward to every February. I miss those days more than I would probably ever admit to and this particular feature took me right back home to a time when beer bottles make perfect vases and a few bits of lace could make any table look pretty.
This event was the annual gala for an...
If you haven't already heard, we are so beyond thrilled to share some HUGE news with you. One of our all time favorite stomping grounds for all things registry, Crate and Barrel, is giving away an entire wedding. Yep, you read that right. An entire wedding planned by celebrity designer Jo Gartin and valued at $100,000 smackaroos. It's the biggest news we've heard in a long time and we are keeping our...
We pretty much never feature bridal showers on SMP but after seeing this adorable little fete, I am officially putting them on our must have list. Planned and designed by Jeannie at Details Details for her cute friend Grace, the details behind this shower are basically what I want my entire life to look like. Sweet, pretty, and completely girl. Oh and the lovely...
