We had such a blast with our From Inspiration to Reality Challenge that we've decided to make it a regular feature on SMP! We have vendors lined up from now until February who are super excited to turn your inspiration boards into a real life photo shoot, complete with tons of inspirations and ideas that can be translated...
You've probably seen the ads for TLC's brand spanking new show, Flowers Uncut. Jeff Leatham is one of those complete visionaries that designs flowers for some of the world's most elite players. And lucky for us, he is bringing his genius to the tube with some of the most gorgeous, over-the-top weddings and events you've ever seen. The minute I laid eyes on Eva Longoria's RIDICULOUS flowers, I literally fell out of my chair. Well...
I work with a
TON of great photographers. Some have been around a while so their skills and perspectives are really honed, really unique. Others are new and are constantly experimenting with different style and ideas. But I don't think that I've had the chance to see the same wedding or space photographed by so many different artists. It's amazing to me that each photographer behind Jessica Claire's Photography Workshop...
Jessica Claire is great for a couple of reasons. For one, she's really good at what she does. Two, she's really generous with her time and her knowledge. And Three, she understands how important the details are in photographing a wedding. Today we are featuring a photography workshop that she held for up and comers and industry pro's alike, all styled by the INSANELY talented Summer Watkins of...
You guys might remember the AMAZING photography workshop that Jessica Claire held a few weeks back. Together with some really incredible vendors, like event stylist Summer Watkins and florist...
We were so thrilled to have found these great alternatives to traditional wedding stationery, we had to share! Kimberly Chiu, over at the adorable online stationery boutique Papeterie, has designed a line of eco-friendly postcards that can be used as Save the Dates, as Thank You Cards, as just about anything really! They are printed on...
There is something so special about a Winter styled affair. The coziness, the textures, the muted and yet completely cohesive color palettes. There are so many opportunities to add little touches that are totally and completely elegant and yet totally and completely whimsical. Hot chocolate shots, sweaters for picture frames and candles, cozy throws and mitten favors. There are so many ways to bring personality and style into a Winter wedding and Barb Salzman of...
If you are having a Winter wedding (and frankly, even if you aren't) this next feature will make you squeal with wedding glee. It's actually not a wedding at all. It's an event that celebrates the space that the amazingly talented Barbara Salzman over at Hatch Creative designed to house Winter events that her clients will be throwing. Her lucky, lucky clients. And although this isn't exactly a wedding, I thought you guys would...
I wanted to take a minute to share some really exciting news with you guys! After all, if it weren't for each of you logging on to SMP everyday, for your continued loyalty to our site, we wouldn't be able to do such fun projects, to partner with such incredible companies. Like Martha Stewart Weddings for example!
Yep. We are going to be featuring a Style Me Pretty Real Wedding on Darcy Miller's Blog...

We have a jam packed day of gorgeousness on SMP today, starting with this incredible wedding that Ray Soemarsono of APERTURA. The bride behind today's affair was a huge fan of SMP during her planning and found inspiration in many of the weddings that we've featured. Which you know I love. And the best part...the wedding turned out flawless. Filled to the brim with a chic, totally modern style and details that would make any...
The Parker in Palm Springs is one of my all time favorite wedding spaces. Aside from the fact that it's just an really cool hotel, it also provides for a ridiculously awesome backdrop against a white wedding dress and great, modern styling. I love it. Love it. And today's wedding, photographed by the incredibly talented Ray Soemarsono of APERTURA, lets...
Someone once told me that creativity translates. And I've used that exact phrase so many times since starting Style Me Pretty. I see photographers that are incredibly talented at event design, florist that are amazing photographers, stationery artists that are accomplished stylists. It's fascinating to see how creativity can be executed in a million different ways, all centered around the artist's unique perspective.
Well such is the case with today's featured affair. Emily, the...
Brace yourselves people. This wedding is completely and totally adorable. Not to mention, completely and totally doable! We actually featured the bride's sister's wedding a few months back and were blown away by the unique styling and completely approachable, but totally chic, design sense that both the bride and her sister had.
The thing that I love about this wedding is that it isn't...

I hope that everyone had a great weekend and a spook-tacular Halloween (lame, I know)! You can read all about our crazy weekend over on BACKSTAGE. Let's just say that I am so glad to be at home, blogging about all things beautiful rather than being stuck in an airport hotel with a cranky, cranky baby! Today is a good day!
It's time for our weekly round-up that our fabulous editor, Carrie...
Thank you so very much to the always incredible Aaron and Jen Delesie for sharing today's RIDICULOUS wedding with us. My poor husband is going to have to deal with a vow renewal because I now have my heart completely set on a wedding just like this. And to the lovely Brooke Keegan for being so sweet as to share all of the behind the scene details. I am sure that I speak for all of...
I am always full of words. Always. And usually I sound a bit like a 16 year old girl gushing over her latest crush. People make fun of me all of the time for it and I can totally see why.
But today, I am ALL gush. I am trying very hard to restrain myself from saying every 16 year old phrase that pops into my head because this wedding turns me into butterflies and total mush. I love it. I love the simple, restrained style. The vintage, worn-down luxury. The effortless elegance. I...
Every time Aaron Delesie sends me a wedding, I know that it's going to be good. Aside from being a genius photographer, he also has a really good eye for style and design. And he knows exactly the kind of wedding that I am going to fall madly in love with...simple, organic elegance, perfect details, a timeless and yet fresh perspective. And this wedding, is just that. And SO much more.
More from the lovely, lovely...
