Truth be told, San Juan Capistrano churns out some seriously pretty soirees. And one lovely gem that we've come to adore whole-heartedly is The Villa. It's a quintessential locale for love stories and garden-loving duos, just ask The Youngrens who were behind every sweet moment of this pink-splashed day. Get your romance on in...
From a very young age, I fell in love with the charm of Boston. The city has a quaintness and an all around love that is irresistible. So when our friends at Hyatt Regency Boston sent over this modern affair filled to the brim with love, sweeping views of my favorite city and a beautifully smiling Bride and Groom, I couldn't help but pore over the lovely imagery from ...
Pair a gorgeous location like 63rd Street Farm with vibrant cultural touches and one fabulous DIY detail after another and the result is this: a day that is dripping in beauty, from the very first image captured by Stone Crandall to the very last kiss between a bride and groom who are sooo cute, you won't be able to stop staring at...

The Palm House at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden is what wedding venue dreams are made of. I've never seen a wedding there I didn't love, and this beauty by Servidone Studios Photography keeps that tradition running strong. It's classic elegance defined, and...
We're girly girls here at SMP. Kate Spade kind of owns our hearts. So when we heard this wedding, captured beautifully by Ruth Eileen Photography, was inspired by one pair of gorgeous Kate Spade heels, it was the squeal heard 'round the office.
You know what's sweeter than a Southern-inspired (+ drop-dead gorgeous) wedding? A Southern-inspired wedding held at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History with a cuter than cute dinosaur theme. That's what we call sweet and then some, and when it's all paired up with lush blooms from Petal's Edge Floral, fab paper goods from ...

Have I told you all before how much I love Chicago weddings? I have? Well, I'm going to profess my love for them again today, because after seeing this beauty from Riverbend Studio and Barbara Moss Events I simply can't contain myself. It's elegant, yet comfortable, city chic, yet warm at the same time. It's everything I love about Chicago weddings wrapped up in one lovely post...
DIY has come a long way. From overly crafty to perfectly classic, it's amazing how SMPers have made doing it yourself oh-so-chic. This gorgeous Bride is the perfect example. She took DIY and made it all her own. Her timeless, jewel tone-infused soiree captured by Jaclyn Simpson Photography will have us smiling for days, and you can see all the reasons why...
Take a minute to really mull this wedding theme over because it is pretty fabulous: homespun luxe-backyard picnic. How is that for spot-on awesomeness?

In my years pouring over the pretty at SMP, I've seen a lot of amazing venues, but this couple's summer camp wedding at Camp Mataponi just might take the cake for the most adorable. It was a weekend filled of summer fun for all their guests, topped off with the sweetest of ceremonies for the two lovebirds.

If you love barn weddings (and really, who doesn't), I have a feeling this next little number from J. Harper Photography at Bishop Farm B&B is going to make your Monday feel magical. Why, you ask? Because it's barn wedding perfection. Complete with chandeliers and perfectly rustic, yet elegant details sprinkled around every corner of this fête. It's all centered around two...
Time and time again, Carmel Valley plays backdrop to some of the most stunning weddings that come our way. And we've noticed a trend among many of these extra special events--they're hosted at the lovely Holman Ranch. A true place of natural beauty, this ranch inspires the most rustic chic soirees, including this wedding snapped up by Paper Antler. It's...
As this bride admits, planning a wedding can be a bit... overwhelming. But it's weddings just like hers that we think help inspire other brides-to-be... which is why it puts a smile on our face every day to share them with you. Weddings like this are extremely pretty, with the absolute best flowers (from Roberston's Flowers) and always focus around the love between the two people at center. And of course, are captured brilliantly...
Wedding Wednesday is here yet again for your much needed dose of mid-week pretty. And while every SMP wedding is beautiful in its own right, I think today's slew of features are especially stunning. We're starting it all off with a blush-toned beauty set amongst a Minnesota flower farm. The whole day was documented by Jeff Loves Jessica, and there's also a...
This may be the cutest "first look" I've ever seen. These two didn't want to break tradition, but needed just a little squeeze before walking down the aisle, so they held hands one last time before saying "I do." And the look on the grooms face... the glowing happiness brought on by enormous amounts of love... had me in tears instantly. Thank goodness Kim Le Photography was on hand to capture that magical moment. There is so much...
It's safe to say this Bride is a lucky gal. Obviously she's beautiful, and marrying one dapper man, but the luck just keeps on following this lovely lady. Her wedding day, hosted in her childhood home, was made perfect from her wedding planning genius of a Mother. And I mean perfect. Not a detail was left unturned or a bow untied - all because this Bride is surrounded by so much love. Red Fly Studio captured every moment of this...
