After sitting down with the legendary Carolina Herrera last week, we knew her runway show was going to be nothing short of breathtaking. And oh man, were we right. Inspired by the White Jasmine flower, this collection is overflowing with feminine and romantic details like hand-stitched embroidery, pin-tucked tulle, and chantilly lace. Treat yourself to a look at her Spring 2016...
When you get a chance to meet THE Carolina Herrera during New York Bridal Market, you say yes and break out into a happy dance. She's a true legend in the fashion industry, so when SMP was offered the chance to sit down one-on-one with the designer behind some of our most beloved gowns, we brought our A-game plus ...
I really, really try not to play favorites but sometimes you just can not help it. So I might as well just give up and admit that when a Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards wedding comes across my desk, I get downright giddy. And this gem right here takes those expectations and knocks them out of the park with these bright summer colors bursting from Jen Fariello's pics. See why I'm so...
This time every week, I start to struggle a bit, and I bet I'm not the only one. But I'll share a little secret: dive into an elegant affair photographed by Christian Oth Studios and your stresses start to drift away. This classic NYC celebration, planned by Ang Weddings & Events...
Let's talk about fabulous weddings for a moment, shall we? Those sweet affairs that merge a gorgeous duo with a breathtaking setting (Ojai Valley Inn & Spa) and a team of vendors that can only be described as uber-talented. Think XOXO Bride, ...
I bet I'm not the only one who could use a little energy on this hump day, so I think it's only fair that we all treat ourselves today. Let's run off to the Golden State for a full day of California celebrations, starting off with this elegant-meets-rustic wedding captured by the uber talented Josh Gruetzmacher and Uforia Films for us all to enjoy. Settle in and get comfy, we have...
With the temps dropping to chilly (read: nearly freezing) levels in New England this morning, a cozy wedding like this glowing Liberty Warehouse fete from Tory Williams is just what we need to warm up a little and get this week started right. And it's quaint New York romance in every sense... brick walls paired with fur throws, Moscow Mules in hand, twinkling...
Solage Calistoga is stunning in and of itself but when you add sunny yellow florals, lemon details helping guests find their way to their seats and a gaggle of littles, it takes on a whole new level of awesome. Planned by Stacy McCain, infused with the happiest blooms by ...
This soiree from Betsi Ewing? It's a New York City classic through and through. Clean lines, white backdrops, crisp ivory florals and killer style (hello gorg Carolina Herrera dress!)… and did I mention it's sprinkled with the cutest of kiddos? It's a sweet sophistication that...
Whisper Carolina Herrera around these parts and you'll hear our fashion-loving hearts racing double time from a mile away. Her elegant, sophisticated designs are complete bridal bliss—and her recent Spring preview as seen from the lovely lens of Betsi Ewing, is utter perfection. With an equally chic team of vendors at hand to make this runway dream a reality, the result is a...
This wedding had us at hello with that bridal gown and, who are we kidding, the shoes are pretty phenomenal too. It's Carolina Herrera and Valentino meets a classic black tie affair in Chapel Hill. The images by Graham Terhune Photography and video from ...
Big weddings are fun, yes. But sometimes a smaller, more intimate wedding surrounded by the reaching sea and your closest friends and family can make it even easier to let loose and enjoy the ride. And I guess having a charming venue like the Bell Haven Club doesn't hurt, either. Thankfully, Karen Hill Photography was there to capture...
Listing all of the reasons this wedding is awesome would probably take me around a decade, so I'll just say this: this is the coolest day you'll ever see. A crazy chic combo of modern design from Lady Liberty Events, a breathtaking setting and beautiful images from John and Colette Photography & Beauty, it's the sort of contemporary soiree that is hall of fame worthy.
This wedding is the definition of awesome; the sort of wedding where every moment is sooo beyond beautiful and sooo beyond amazing, I'm not even sure what to say. And since I am sort of known as a chatty lady, it's safe to say it's a speech-defying affair in every which way. From the fab stylings of Mandy Scott Events to the stunning Holman Ranch backdrop to the vibrant pops...
People have many reasons for loving Manhattan. The style, the pace, the food - it's all unlike anywhere else in the world. But my favorite thing about the city that never sleeps is the people. Because after pouring over hundreds (ok, probably thousands) of weddings in the City, I would say that's where the style comes from. Take this wedding by Jimena Roquero at the...
When you work at SMP, there's never a dull moment. Exhibit A: this crazy gorgeous Mexico wedding that's layers upon layers of wedding fantasy brought to life. With two stunning gowns that'll Rock. Your. World. plus all the pretty snapped up by Orange Turtle Photography, this day is officially one to love. Ready, set...swoon! From...
Brides who think outside of the box in the most gorgeous ways are ladies I can adore. Take this bride, for instance. Her wedding took full advantage of her stunning home and Save the Date created a soiree around a harvest theme. Totally something I've never seen before, but totally something I love. Images by Berit was on hand to capture...
Do you ever walk into someones house for the first time and think "Ahh. This makes total sense."? You look around and just see them. You're about to meet the wedding version of that scenario. Lucky for the couple, Outstanding Occasions is, well, outstanding at really getting to know a couple... and then turning their love and their beautiful personalities into a soiree which fits like a glove. So my lovelies...
This wedding had me at hello. Well, actually, it had me at pretty pink peonies and glittery gold bridesmaid gowns, but why get caught up in the semantics? Put simply, it rocks. Maybe that's because it happens to be the perfect mix of rustic and glam and the beautiful bride designed and planned the entire affair herself. Or maybe it's because those bouquets from Hyde Park Flowers are all kinds of amazing, that ...
