I thought that this pretty Winter white inspiration was the perfect way to start our day. Lyndsey Maurath of Fresh Lime Events is the designer behind the look and approached an all white color palette in just about the most original way I've ever seen. I love, love, love the ribbon streamers paired with the ghost chairs and the texture of the feathers everywhere. It's the perfect balance of modern and girly, of elegant and totally...
I knew you guys would go bananas over this wedding. The wedding itself is gorgeous...but really, with this one, it's all about the bride. She is insanely gorgeous and will no doubt inspire a ton of you to add a little bit of vintage beauty to your wedding style! And there is no one better to have photographed her than Justin and Mary Marantz. They captured that sweet, demure fierceness that I have fallen totally in love with.
Justin and Mary are the best. That's just the only way I can think to properly introduce them. They are loved by photographers and brides alike (and bloggers, of course) so when I get to feature one of their picture perfect weddings on SMP, I always get a little more excited than usual. Which says a lot seeing that I am always "jumping for joy" or "squeeling with glee." And this wedding just happens to be about as good as it gets.
I gave you a little sneak peek of this gorgeous wedding earlier today, but it's time to get to the really good stuff. I first saw this wedding while shooting a From Inspiration to Reality feature with Justin and Mary Marantz. All of the vendors stood around the camera gushing and gushing and gushing about this stunning bride and her amazing sense of style. I basically begged to feature it on SMP and I am so happy that we finally get...
While we wait for the gorgeous vintage inspired affair that I sneak peeked a little earlier, I thought you might enjoy this really great holiday DIY project that Viola over at Chewing the Cud put together for us. It's the perfect cost cutting gift for family and friends and done on a smaller scale, would make for pretty awesome favors! Oh and the gorgeous packaging...from her adorable line of...
We are putting the finishing touches on today's featured wedding, and are running just a touch late, but I wanted to share with you the one, absolutely breathtaking shot that literally made me jump up and down like a 10 year old who just spotted the most perfect Christmas present ever. For anyone that loves Audrey Hepburn, you might need to brace yourselves...ns
We'll have the rest of the amazing vintage inspired affair by...
The loveliness of this next wedding is what first caught my eye...the simple details, the pretty and elegant style, the gorgeous bride and the stunning photography by Twin Lens. And yet, it was the bride's endearing description of her day that actually brought me to tears. This is not only pure eye candy...it's also a little lesson in planning your wedding with a bit of grace and a bit of beauty.
I think a lot of women...
You guys are going to go bonkers for this next DIY feature. Lisa Tse, the genius behind one of our favorite brands EVER, InkBox Design Boutique, has stopped by to share a simple and totally adorable do-it-yourself project made especially for your grooms. Lisa has a TON of cool stuff for the bride on her site, but she wanted to share these adorable little T's that are just...
I hope everyone had a great weekend! I thought that we could start off the week with a heavy dose of pure gorgeousness. Today's featured photo shoot, put together by Joy Proctor of Joy de Vivre Wedding Coordination and Kelly Kaufman of Florette Designs put together a design that will definitely...
With the holidays just around the corner, I have been ALL about really fun DIY projects lately that are both charming and super chic, perfect for a holiday gift or a sweet wedding favor. I am busy making a few for some things we're doing next week but wanted to take a minute to share a round-up of my favorite SMP projects from features past that just might make for a lovely little holiday gift.
Starting with these AMAZING pinwheels that...
We are going to be tackling some really fun DIY projects this weekend so I am going to head out a bit early to do some shopping. But before I go, here are a few things that are happening around the web on some of our favorite sites. We'll be back tomorrow with a fun, Saturday post.
An AMAZING handmade paper tutorial that Elizabeth Messina put together on Kiss the Groom.
It's time for another DIY Holiday Project and this one, by Beth Helmstetter, is total perfection. Whether you gift it to your girlfriends for the holidays or you use it as decor in your own affair, the end result is pure loveliness. Oh and by the way, Beth's blog is FULL of inspiration and ideas that are so easy to fall in love with, so easy to obsess over.
There is something so sweet about this little wedding. Photographer, Natalie Watson, sent it our way and I have to say...it completely charmed me. From the adorable couple to the pretty, understated details, I heart everything about this adorable affair.
Tosha & Will's soft, intimate hometown wedding took place in Greeneville, Tennessee. The couple had a traditional service followed by an intimate dessert reception...
We just got a little sneak peek of a brand spanking new invitation line...and I am already smitten. Particularly with this design and its girly but gorgeous color palette, its absolutely perfect choice of typefaces and the sweet, whimsically elegant style. Oh and the letterpress ain't too shabby either. Sarah, the designer behind the new brand, Truly Smitten, is clearly...
I try not to recycle weddings here on SMP, as I always want the content to be fresh and completely original. But, the minute I laid eyes on this wedding, I knew I had to share it. Photographed by Andreas Avdoulos, it's the wedding of Canada's House and Home Editor, Suzanne Dimma and is a lesson in restraint, in rustic elegance, in understated style. And I love every bit of...
I heart the holiday season in a big, BIG way. The pretty lights, the trees, the gifts, the hot cocoa and marshmallows. So to celebrate, we've asked some of our favorite Little Black Book members to craft some holiday inspired DIY projects. Little crafts that are chic, elegant and would make anyone who received them grin from ear to ear. But the best part, all of the projects can easily be interpreted into favors of all...
There is something really great about a wedding that is all fun. For me, it's the more whimsical, sweet weddings that really hit home...that serve as a reminder of how important it is to design an affair that reflects your personality and not one that reflects what a wedding "should" look like. And if you can do that without sacrificing style, well, that is what makes for a really great celebration.

This might be one of the more charming weddings I've ever seen. Sent to us by the forever talented Kirsten Ellis of Beaux Arts Photographie, it's flirty and completely fun. It's one of those weddings that didn't take itself to seriously and instead was designed around the cute personalities of the bride and groom. I love that.
The oh-so-talented...
I knew that you guys would love this shoot. It's everything that a girl could want...it's pretty, it's elegant, it's romantic. It's filled to the brim with the most picture perfect details and completely captures the essence of the Style Me Pretty bride. A HUGE thank you to Millie Holloman, Salt Harbor Designs and the rest of the incredible team for taking the time, money...
The very first From Inspiration to Reality feature that we did blew my socks off. It was incredible for me to see an inspiration board that a reader designed literally come to life. I left the shoot feeling like I was on top of the world, not to mention more motivated than I've ever been in my entire life. To see something so beautiful that was designed exclusively for Style Me Pretty is humbling, it's...
