So, despite the fact that it is freezing outside and that most of you probably have holiday shopping hangovers, I figured that if you are still religiously checking SMP...you need a little something happy. And this wedding is all about the happy. The perfectly gorgeous purple palette, the effortlessly chic style, the approachable decor, the pretty, pretty flowers. Clearly, I could go on and on. Designed by Amber Gustafson of...
This holiday project is so gorgeous, it's hard to believe that someone DIY-ed it. Crafted by Genevieve Nisly, these cranberry flavored liqueur gifts are so pretty, so yummy, so perfect for friends and family. Plus, crack 'em open and they'll definitely spice up any holiday get together. A little bit involved, but the end result is SO worth the effort. Materials large stock pot spatula 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups water 1...
Another cozy wedding to warm us all up on this freezing cold day! This one by the always talented Alison Ulshoffer, a Little Black Book planner that just might love perfect details as much as we do! We are HUGE Alison fans so if you have the chance to take a peek at her blog and her...
Does anyone else care that it is negative 4 in Boston today? Ummm, that should be against the law or something. So, since I am positively freezing, I thought we could warm up a bit with an Austin, Texas wedding that is as delightful and charming as they possibly get. Photographed by Suzi Q, the wedding is this perfect combination of style and handmade charm. And heart it big time.
The wedding was held at The...
I love, love, love when we have a film clip to compliment one of our photo shoots or weddings. Well, lucky for us, Mike over at Buzz Media Company was on hand to film today's Holiday Wedding Inspiration Shoot that Lucinda Wesson designed...and when I tell you it's good, well. It's REALLY good. He's turned the shoot into an old Hollywood movie, full of glamour and romance and pure beauty. And I couldn't be more thrilled.
As with most photoshoots, it takes an army of people to really bring it to life. Here are some thoughts from the major players behind today's eye candy!
From the photographer, Anna Sawin...This incredible visual feast, laid out in sumptuous colors, tones and textures as far as the eye could see, was a photographer’s field day, particularly against the stunning winter backdrop of Elihu Island and the cozy family...
There is something completely magical about today's photoshoot. It's very Anthropologie, very dreamy. It's the kind of life that I live inside of my crazy imagination and to see that really come to life is such a treat. Designed by Lucinda Wesson of Chocolate Creative Design, along with help from some of our favorite Connecticut vendors (see full list below)...
Today is another sparkly, glittery, all together lovely day on Style Me Pretty. Since weddings are winding down for the year, we thought it would be fun to feature a stunning, holiday inspired photoshoot that a handful of our favorite vendors designed just for SMP.
I have a huge soft spot in my heart for our Connecticut Vendors as they are just this rare little group of designers who are...
Anyone who is anyone in the bridal industry not only knows Gabriella of Gabriella New York. They also love her. Her style savvy, her attention to each and every wedding gown details, her general sense of fabulousness make her one of the most loved fashion professionals in the industry and I am thrilled that she's stopping by for a little visit, chatting about finding the right dress for your body type.

I thought we could start off the day really right...with an absolutely awesome giveaway from one of my favorite people in the wedding industry, Christine Traulich of RedBliss. For those of you that don't know Christine, well she's about as talented as they come. Her invitations and stationery pieces are seriously works of art with every new design better than the last. I have been a longtime...
As promised, here is the most incredible gift wrap diy project E-V-E-R, carefully crafted by the fabulous Summer Watkins over at Grey Likes Weddings. We have been blown away by today's gorgeousness here on SMP and owe it all to Summer's spot on style and craft savvy. Thanks so much Summer...we heart you big time. So the DIY is for the center row image on the left, the adorable fabric pom. It's SO freaking cute, I only...
For anyone that knows me...a white on white color palette is pretty much as good as it gets. My mother in law even gave me a white poinsettia this year while she gave everyone else the traditional red variety. I literally own 20 or so little white t-shirts, I wear a white winter coat, I only own white linens and china and am currently bursting out of my 4 year old white sneaks that I can't seem to part with. In my book, a pretty white wedding is just about as good as it gets.
So...
This is possibly the most gorgeous feature ever. I am always head over heels for anything that Summer of Grey Likes Weddings does, but this one just might take the cake. She's put together some of the most lovely holiday gift wrap inspirations you've ever seen and aside from being perfect for the coming weeks, they are also pretty incredible ways to package up wedding favors. Oh and not to fret...we are including some...
For those of you that have been holding your breath for the last 6 months...the wait is finally over! It's time to announce the insanely lucky winner of our Crate and Barrel $4000 Shop Card Giveaway. And just in time for the holidays to boot! They say that giving feels so much better than receiving and honestly, I couldn't agree more. I actually teared up a bit when we finally decided on a winner and I got...
We are totally smitten with these new DIY Garland Kits made especially for your vintage wedding car. The fabulous Renee Armour, one of our very favorite Little Black Book members, and proud new owner of A Bride's Ride is responsible for the total cuteness and we couldn't be more thrilled for her. The banners actually come complete with a fun saying...
We are nodding our heads in total agreement at all of the comments from yesterday's From Inspiration to Reality Feature...totally blown away, completely inspired, feeling VERY proud of our Little Black Book members. Well, the fun didn't end yet.
So, a picture perfect photo shoot is just fine and dandy...but how do you translate the look into an actual wedding? We've put together some tips for you guys who are loving this style but need a little help making it happen!
1. The chairs. These are the shining star of the entire event, right. Well, Chiavari rentals can cost a pretty penny so although this is definitely the easiest route, it's also the most expensive. If you are already renting chairs though, take this shoot as the...
Being a bit of a stationery snob, I was kind of over the moon to see the stationery pieces that were included in today's shoot. Designed by Sara Fitzgerald O’Brien of Griffin-vites Stationery they were actually one of the elements that I loved the most...and in a room this gorgeous, that says a lot. Who knew that roosters could be so freaking chic. Sara is an absolutely awesome designer who clearly took...
It's easy to get excited about blogging when you get to write about such gorgeous features as today's From Inspiration to Reality Shoot. Meagan Gilpatrick of Maine Seasons Events headed up the shoot with an incredible concept and design, perfect inspiration for those of you searching for a little rustic elegant eye candy. Ashley Vaughn of...
I think the coolest thing about these From Inspiration to Reality Shoots (which needs a better name, by the way) is that for one perfect day, we get to jump into the creative brains of some of the most talented wedding gurus that are out there. We get to see a simple, but a gorgeous...
