After spending more time with Rebekah Johnson Photography's images of this Oregon wedding that I should probably admit, I still cannot decide what it is that really draws me to this wedding. The floral design from Geranium Lake Flowers is stunning, the Carolina Herrera gown is fab, the entire design of the affair...
The Carneros Inn lends itself beautifully to affairs built around family and great food; affairs that have been appropriately coined Farmhouse Chic. They're all at once elegant and refined while still maintaining a beautiful ease about them and with a pop of beautiful florals by Michael Daigian Design and some lovely camera work by ...
Welcome back to yet another beautiful week on SMP! We are just aching to start the lineup of lovely, and start we shall with this Bluegrass State beauty by Melanie Mauer!

With a bride that is take-your-breath-away gorgeous, a classic old Kentucky home as the venue, a...
New England weddings hold a very special place in our hearts. They're classic in the best of ways with just the right smidgen of old world charm and with a venue like The Harvard Club mixed with forest infused florals by Bow Street Flowers, this Beantown beauty has us Bostonians falling in love all over again with our hometown. ...
Weekends have a reputation of being a bit better than Mondays, but that's not the case here at SMP. Mondays are when we get to start cranking out the pretty, so we are a rather fond of this under-loved day. And today's wedding by Heather Kincaid Photographer is a whole other level of pretty! Full of that classic elegance that gets me every time, chandeliers and gorgeous ocean views it's enough to have you loving Monday too!
Roses may have cornered the market for romance but I'll take a bundle of lavender over a dozen red roses any day of the week. Could there be anything dreamier than an entire field of soft, wind blown lavender? This inspiration shoot by KT Merry and Dreamy Whites is a little slice of heaven and proves that lavender is as timeless and romantic as the rose. Can't you...
When you hear of a fantastic event featuring prima ballerinas, opera singers, grand pianists, and 12-piece bands, your mind doesn't automatically jump to a wedding, at least outside of a fairy tale. But that is just some of the entertainment from this fabulous wedding. Set in my old Michigan stompin' grounds, this affair, captured by Widdis Photography, seems like it should really be set in a magical land, far, far away. It truly is...
I am by no means afraid of a little color but there is just something so romantic and breathtaking about an all white affair. And when that all white affair happens to take place in Portofino you better believe the romance will be through the roof. Jacqueline Schmitz Campbell brings us on an exquisite European adventure through the cobblestone streets of Italy to a classically elegant reception with simple yet...
We might be a week past the Kentucky Derby, but this photo shoot captured by Greg Blomberg Photography and designed by Bows and Arrows is just too cute not to share! And I say why not throw a Preakness or Belmont Party instead? Any excuse to host a stylish soriée is a good excuse in my book - mostly when it looks this darn cute. I am particularly in love with the...
The pretty patrol was on full force for this Maryland wedding. With the help of Pineapple Productions, this bride and groom put together quite the garden wedding. Patricia Lyons shared some great images of the day... fresh florals, charming paper products (from the adorable Just Paper and Tea), and...
Oh my goodness - that dress. Those flowers. The pies. The barn! Everything in this sweet Michigan wedding is completely drool-worthy. I could spend days raving about it all. Flourish Event Design planned this backyard bash to perfection. The soft palette they chose plays against the rustic barn SO beautifully. The invites were designed by the oh-so-talented...
I just ADORE the folks that get married at Holman Ranch. It seems the lovely California ranch attracts some of the most stylish duos. This rustic, yet elegant fall wedding designed and planned by Soiree by Simone definitely stays true to my theory. It's fall wedding style at it's finest. And may I just say, that fabulous pergola-covered king's table has me swooning -...
When we first spied this wedding, our first thoughts were ... "They're so pretty ... oh so pretty!" All the pretty maids gathering before the momentous occasion of their best friend's wedding ~ the makeup, the jewelry, the pretty dresses ...
... and the bride ... oh-so-gorgeous!

A classic Newport Rhode Island wedding never goes out of style, particularly when styled by Raina Dawn Events with the gorgeous floral design of Sayles Livingston Flowers. This fabulous summer affair contained everything endearing about the timeless beach town including a sunset sail for all the guests around the harbor. If that doesn't scream Newport, I don't...
Wine Country is the absolute ideal spot for a gorgeous fall wedding and The Carneros Inn is definitely at the top of that list.

As we wrap up our Real Wedding extravaganza, I thought that we could take a moment and pay homage to the absolute gorgeousness of a classic NYC wedding. So romantic, SO chic. This is another high style kind of wedding, one that won't fit into many of your budgets...but who cares! Isn't it fun to just basque in the luxury of it all and admire the serious beauty in all of the perfect photographs. You better believe it's fun!
The final gorgeous traditional wedding that we are featuring today is from Pineapple Productions ...
From the beginning, Lizanne and Joe wanted a wedding that highlighted the old world elegance and history of Washington, D.C. They selected their neighborhood church, historic Saint Alban's Episcopal Church, for the ceremony.
The exquisite...
Carolina Herrera is the go to designer for all things elegant and chic and her new bridal collection is no exception. The head gear was out to play and the dresses, oh the dresses. There were definitely a few show stoppers in the mix. From florals to ruffles, Carolina has you covered. Matthew Grazier was there to capture all of the gorgeous details, front, back and everywhere in between.
