If you are as obsessed as I am with the From Inspiration to Reality feature that we are doing today, you'll be really happy about this next little tidbit. Ryan Koral, owner and creative genius behind Epic Motion, was on hand to capture the entire day on film. And it's awesome. Seriously awesome. To see the whole gorgeous day unfold and really see the the creativity and thoughtfulness that went into the look is, well...pretty kick ass. I...
A few quick notes about the photography behind today's affair from Aruna...
When we were first picking out inspiration boards I think it was important to us to do something unique and bold. Then when we started to brainstorm I got really excited about all the different elements that were coming together. From the frame wall to the croquembouche (french wedding cake), I knew this was going to be amazing to photograph. The Royal...
So. The last couple of weeks have actually been our highest traffic weeks of the entire life of Style Me Pretty. Something to be really proud of, which of course we are. But to be honest, we are mostly just thrilled to have partnered up with vendors who are helping us to generate content that gives us that traffic, like today's From Inspiration to Reality Shoot. The talent, the creativity, the ideas, the style behind this group of Michigan vendors...it's total insanity. And we feel really...
When I saw the board that our next From Inspiration to Reality team chose, I was a little excited. Okay, I was bursting at the seams. It was the first really modern, high style, totally glam board that had been chosen...
We are putting the finishing touches on our latest and greatest From Inspiration to Reality that we teased you with last week...and when I tell you that it's good. Man oh man is it good. And it's totally unlike anything we've ever featured on SMP. A little bit modern, a lot of glam and drama, filled beyond belief with ideas that you can steal for your own big...
I couldn't believe my luck when this little gem of a wedding popped into my inbox. It's kind a Style Me Pretty dream come true, actually. Gorgeous, super chic bride and groom. Flowers by the beloved Saipua design studio in Brooklyn. An eclectic, adorable group of bridesmaids. And a style that I can't seem to get enough of. We have fallen madly in love with this bride and her wedding and can't wait to hear what you guys think!
On any given day, you can find me sitting on my couch dreaming up crazy and over-the-top descriptions about the weddings that we feature. The "oh-so-charmings" and "forever gorgeousness-es" just pop into my head as the only proper way to introduce a wedding and tell you just how much I love it. Well, today's wedding needs nothing more than a simple, little word. Beautiful. Sent over to us by Jen Curtis, it's the bride and groom...
I promised the world's cutest, sweetest wedding...and I'm here to deliver. Sent to us by Jen Curtis, this wedding gives me butterflies with a bride that is ALL chic and a groom that could possibly be the most adorable groom on the face of the planet. I always get a little giddy when Jen sends us one of her latest and greatest because I just know that she will have...
We are kicking off the week with the prettiest, sweetest, most adorable little wedding you've ever seen. Really, it's that great. Jen Curtis, who always sends us the most incredible affairs, was the photographer behind the today's first featured wedding so you just know that I am being completely sincere when I tell you that I love this wedding. Big time. And usually, I pour all of my gushing into the bride, the details, the...
We are taking a cue from Design*Sponge's weekly wrap-up and doing a little week-in-review of our own. Brought to you by our fabulous advertising sales guru, who also happens to be planning her own super chic wedding, Ms. Libby Higgins. But before I pass the mic, here is a little sneak peek of next week's feature by Aruna B. Photography...
We couldn't have asked...
Being a wedding blogger means that I get wedding envy...A LOT. It's kind of scary how many different types of weddings I fall in love with. They are all over the map. From really organic, budget friendly affairs to total opulence and everything in between. Green with wedding envy has just become my middle name. And today, I can say with total candor, it's been taken to an entirely new level.
This wedding, shot by...
It's official. I am freezing. And checking out the weather around the country, I'm thinking that you are too. So, I thought we could all use a little bit of a warm up and I know that this wedding by Leo Patrone will do just the trick. So, meet Manda and Nick. The cute, cute, CUTE pair tied the knot on the island of Bali this past October in a wedding that was as gorgeous as it was hugely personal. With a nod to both their Eastern...
And now, the film. I get really excited when we have a film clip to compliment any wedding or shoot that we feature. It just brings the whole day to life and you can really "feel" the energy and beauty. As a quick little reminder, here is the board that inspired our From Inspiration to Reality feature...
And a few more of the incredible images by Person and Killian...
And now, watch it all...
Ever since we posted our first From Inspiration to Reality feature (which STILL needs a new name if you can think of one), we've kind of rediscovered our love of weddings and of design. It's incredible for me to see what our vendors and artists can do with such a one dimensional look at something. They are able to see the feeling, the vibe behind the board and translate that into a photo shoot filled to...
It's been a little while since we featured one of the beloved rustic chic affairs that I know many of you really, really crave. Well, I have just the ticket. Ken Kienow sent us this little gem that is heavy on DIY charm and filled to the brim with steal-worthy ideas. Held at the Dana Powers Barn in Nipomo, California this past December, this wedding is a total keeper. Love...
The bride behind today's first featured Kentucky wedding is actually a photographer. Which means that she's probably seen every type of wedding on the planet thus making it both impossible and incredibly easy to design her own. And what I love the most about the day that she and her hubby built is that it bucked all tradition in design and instead focused on the love, the family, the fun. With that as the focus, you are pretty much good to go.
Because of the difficulty of...
This Kentucky wedding was really easy to fall in love with. First of all, the ceremony was held picnic style. Yep, total cuteness. Second, the bride and groom are madly in love with each other and both have that glowy, hopelessly smitten look which I love so very much. And third, the wedding style is pretty much as gorgeous as you can get with pink and red flowers, bright turquoise bridesmaids dresses (which they had made), a wedding gown that is as sexy as it is timeless and little handmade...
I kind of feel like I should have saved today's first featured Kentucky wedding (yep, we have two) for Valentine's Day. The colors, the ridiculously in love couple, the warmth and intimacy of the whole wedding. It screams Valentine's Day. But, isn't that just what every wedding should be? Absolutely. So, let me introduce to you, Josue and Susannah Galan. The world's cutest couple with possibly the world's most lovely wedding.

So, I thought it might be fun to see if we could take some of the elements from today's wedding and translate them into a more budget approach...

If you thought the fun was over with our GORGEOUS Palos Verdes affair...think again. Elysium Productions put together a same day edit for the couple and we managed to get our grubby little hands on it to share with you guys today. Julie and Alex, lead cinematographers behind the Elysium brand, are pure geniuses and having had the pleasure of seeing one of their same day edits in person, I can tell you that there are no...
