I am so thrilled that one of our readers, Kate, designed a board that could inspire such loveliness. This shoot is the perfect example of how to use an inspiration board to translate an entire wedding. It's about designing a feeling, a vibe. It's finding beauty in the details and bringing them to life through decor, through flowers, through fashion and style. And...
I am generally blown away by the work that our Little Black Book members are putting out there. I am rarely surprised. But this shoot...totally surprised, totally inspired, totally motivated me to get up really early and start blogging away.
The From Inspiration to Reality Shoot was put together by two of our favorite LBB members, Millie Holloman...
Every now and then I am at a loss for words. It happens rarely and is usually brought on by something so pretty that I simply can't find a way to properly describe just how much I love it. Thus is the case with today's photo shoot. What I can say is that this shoot is the reason that I love what I do so very much. It's the reason that I feel so incredibly lucky to work in an industry with people that create, people that inspire. It's the reason that I walk around with a smile on my face every...
Last night, I got the pictures in from our latest From Inspiration to Reality Challenge. And I literally cried. Sounds insane, I know...but the shoot that Millie Holloman and Jennifer from Salt Harbor Designs put together based on the inspiration board below is, well...
This week we have THREE challenges in our From Inspiration to Reality. While you guys are busy designing perfectly gorgeous boards that you want to see our vendors bring to life, our vendors are poring over your entries you've made, trying to find the one board that speaks to them the most. The next team to design a photoshoot around one of your inspiration boards is the oh-so-talented group including...
Well, it's December 1st. And you know what that means...it's the month that snow usually falls all white and pretty and untouched, the month that Christmas lights make our homes all sparkly, that carols are played and cocoa is made. The holidays are here and we're kicking off December with a bang with an amazing giveaway by Hello! Lucky.
The lovely, lovely, lovely girls over at Hello! Lucky are gifting one Style Me Pretty...
I normally don't promote locally based wedding events...but this one was just too good to pass up. So good in fact, that I've decided to pack it up and head down to Florida myself so that I can devour all of the gorgeousness that is sure to happen. It's called the Wedding Party Palm Beach and will be held by the amazing hotel...
We spotted this Vail beauty over on lunaphoto's GORGEOUS blog. And it made us so incredibly happy, so incredibly inspired. From the chocolate, white and yellow color palette that manages to be both warm and super sophisticated at the same time, to the absolutely flawless florals...every bit of this is Fall perfection. The photographs that Paula snapped are stunning, the fashion...
There is just something about a traditional, ballroom wedding that is so timelessly beautiful. And yet, they are rarely shown off on the blogs these days. Well, I thought that it was about time we featured a ball room wedding that was ALL style, ALL gorgeousness. Photographed by London based photographer, Polly Alexandre, this wedding is pure luxury. Oh and the bride behind the affair just might be the most drop dead gorgeous...
I thought we could start the day with the prettiest little Sausalito wedding, photographed by Stephanie Pool for Lisa Lefkowitz. There is nothing extravagant or showy about this wedding...it's simple, completely sweet, traditional affair that was all about the beauty behind the day.
Here are a few details...
Aimee Arrieta and Simon Pearce were married on August 8, 2009 at beautiful Cavallo Point in Sausalito. The...
Before I get to our most awesome Crate and Barrel giveaway to date, I wanted to remind you guys that TOMORROW is the last day to enter to win a $4000 Crate and Barrel shop card that can be used to buy anything and everything their incredible store has to offer.

Last week we featured THE most gorgeous wedding that Max Wanger photographed and tons of you fell in love with the DIY matchbooks that Elaine, the lovely and incredibly crafty bride designed. Well, we've asked her to put together a DIY of the matchbooks for us so that everyone could add the adorable little touch to their own upcoming event!
So many of our favorite featured brides have used little pops of color to accent their wedding fashion. A little peek of a perfect yellow shoe, a gorgeous hued cardigan, a hairpiece that screams style. It's a fabulous way to add personality to your look without going overboard. And Carrie has pulled just about the cutest colored accessories a girl could ever want!

Adding a splash of color is one sure-fire way to create an unforgettable look that is completely all your own. Today, we have put...
I hope everyone had a really happy Thanksgiving and stuffed their little faces with turkey and stuffing...and apple pie. And mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes and cranberry relish. And chocolate pie and pecan pie and pumpkin pie. I didn't. Clearly.
So, although I may be a few pounds heavier on this lovely Monday morning, I am full of energy and super excited to start the week as I know that we have some pretty awesome posts coming your way. First up, a Pops of Color Round-Up that...
Whenever we have a video to supplement the gorgeous pictures that we are featuring, I get really really REALLY excited. And since today's featured From Inspiration to Reality Shoot was a total lesson in all that's beautiful and perfect, I am a little bit over the moon that we actually get to show you a behind-the-scenes clip.

I keep bragging about our new From Inspiration to Reality feature. I really can't shut up about it. I think that the idea is so freaking cool and seeing that we work with some of the more incredible vendors out there, it seemed like a genius way of blurring the line between what they do and what our readers want. It's a great way to bring our two loves together...
You are going to need to sit down for this one. We're debuting our second From Inspiration to Reality feature and although I knew that it was going to be good...I'm not sure that could have ever anticipated this much gorgeousness. The team was headed up by Little Black Book member...
This just in...we woke up this morning to the absolutely, jaw-droppingly gorgeous photographs from our second official From Inspiration to Reality feature! And I am literally busting at the seams. Photographed by the FABULOUS photographer Agnes Lopez, designed by the incredible florist and designer...
