Filled with artful personal touches and planned to perfection by Kate Whelan Events™ this is a fresh take on a classic style that is all together warm and inviting. ...
I swear Charleston weddings are just made to exude charm. This sweet southern wedding will charm you right down to your toes, but it will also offer up a whole lot more. It's filled with antique elegance and personal vintage elements all paired perfectly with this couple's DIY style. Planned by the lovely Lisa Thomas of Ooh! Events and captured beautifully by...
I love when a theme and a couple's style fit together so seamlessly that you can't tell where one ends and the other begins. Such is the case with this French-inspired Milwaukee wedding. The bride's breathtaking gown, the exquisite paper details, the romantic florals all fit flawlessly with the elegant vintage vibe. Brought to us by the talented Lexia Frank Photography, it's a breathtaking beautiful celebration sure to make you swoon.
Good morning SMPers.

From planner extraordinaire, A Swanky Affair this darling Durham soirée is as cute as they come. It's North Carolina chic and you can see the rest of the beautiful images by ...
Sometimes when you're totally sure of something... absolutely certain about something, you have to document it. This is a case of boy meets girl and boy knows almost immediately that the girl is The. One. Fast forward just over a year and boy and girl are saying I-do in a sunset-drenched beach ceremony. Brought to us by the always fabulous Diva Productions it's a tale that's meant to be told first hand. It's a girl with a smile so...
At the end of each week we do a little wrap up, but technically the week isn't really over on SMP. We keep bringing you the pretty all weekend long. Tomorrow we have a so-sweet-it-will-sweep-you-off-your-feet film from Diva Productions and on Sunday, we have gobs and gobs of gorgeousness coming your way on SMP Home. So we'll leave you this fine Friday with...
Home is where the heart is, so when it comes to weddings, I fully support making it a backyard affair. Especially when your backyard happens to be a slice of heaven in Saratoga. With its lush landscape, the bride's family's home was the perfect backdrop for these intimate I-do's. Brought to us by the always lovely Lauri Levenfeld of Zoom Photography this September soirée is romance defined. So after you feast your eyes on the film...
What do you get when a host of talented wedding gurus join forces for a Chesapeake Bay photo shoot? Gorgeousness my friends. Absolute gorgeousness. With design and styling by Amber Housley, images by Cyn Kain Photography, florals by Holly Heider Chapple Flowers, hair and makeup by ...
Weddings are all about the union of two people. But this Orange County affair is home to more than just one marriage... it is the joining together of family and friends, elegance and the outdoors, burlap and lace. Brought to us by Kevin Le Vu Photography it's a true vision of vintage rustic romance. Inspired by her grandmother's antique engagement ring, the bride and her mother created a homespun celebration full of sweet details...
If I were to write a book about our next wedding, it would be titled How To Bring the Understated Elegance of Wine Country to the Jersey Shore. Ok, so my title might be a little long, but seriously, this wedding is a lesson in making your event a reflection of the things you love in life. And just because a California celebration isn't in the cards, doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice one ounce of style. Captured beautifully by ...
I could put together an entire post gushing only about how spectacular this venue is... a beautiful race horse farm in rural Maryland with lush green pastures, picturesque views, and its own vineyard... I mean, wow. But you see, I would have barely scratched the surface of the story because this farm is home to this bride's childhood and her family's history (the little girl in me just melted). Brought to us by ...
I am SO excited to share this LBBer spotlight with y'all today! First off, because Mark + Stefanie, the designer couple behind Montreal-based Tartine Paperie are THE sweetest and not to mention, pretty darn talented folks. My crush on these two is further proven by their love for letterpress, travel + amazing food, all of which inspire their elegant Wedding Collection designs. We're getting a detailed behind the scenes look into a few of...
I would like to make a toast. To these tables and chairs. To the fabulously modern florals. To the knock-out color palette. To the dreamy ceremony decor. To this whole. entire. wedding. Thank you for being jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Thank you Nancy Liu Chin Designs and A Savvy Event for designing a contemporary wine-country fête that has us feeling totally inspired. It's utterly...
When some people think of Colorado they often think rustic mountain backdrops and wide open spaces. And while it absolutely is those things, it's also much, much more. It's cool and eclectic and home to some seriously fabulous style. This modern Denver wedding perfectly embraces all the different sides the Rockies have to offer. It's fresh and romantic... and just as stunning as the sweet couple behind it. With beautiful images by ...
This next wedding is very much a reflection of the couple's choice in cakes. Let me explain. One, a gorgeous frosted buttercream creation. The other, a delectable tiered cheesy treat. You see, this darling DIY affair is charming and approachable while still radiating warmth and elegance. It's sweet and savory all wrapped up into one very pretty poolside soirée. With gorgeous lighting by talented folks at ...
We receive more amazing submissions to SMP than we can post in a lifetime. It's truly difficult to choose which weddings we share right here with you. But sometimes it's totally obvious... we pick the ones that make us cry. The ones that make us laugh. The ones that make us feel like we're right there sharing the moment with the couple. This Canadian fete is filled with lush style and elegant details and at the heart is a gorgeous couple that you can't help but fall in love with. Captured and...
Happy Saturday SMPer's. We have a charming French Quarter wedding with more than just a few ways to start your day off right. One. A cool as can be couple. Two. Carefree NOLA style. And three. A fabulous film that really lets you in on this chic soiree. A film that brings this southern romance to life. A film that gives you such an honest sense of this blissfully in love duo. Brought to us by 3Ring Weddings this New Orleans wedding is a...
We see so many amazing weddings on SMP it can sometimes be a little overwhelming. So each Friday we like to take a little trip down memory lane. And today, we're also going to share a couple of our favorite images from the LBB Blog. We tried to narrow it down to just one, but they were both so beautiful and unique in their own way, we just had to bring them both back for our pre-weekend pick me up. So enjoy these amazing moments once more and we'll be right back here tomorrow morning with a...
When Jen Fariello sent us this intimate wedding at The Clifton Inn in Charlottesville, Virginia , I have to admit I had a really tough time selecting the pics to use in the feature. You see, this wedding isn't just about the marriage of two people. It's the story of a family joining together in a quiet place, with the realization that none of their lives would ever be the same.
If you ask me, the bride's dress alone is a muse for a fabulous fête. And while it did make its way into several pretty details (ahem, that ah-mazing cake!)... the beauty of Kiawah and the architecture of the venue provided much of the inspiration for this gorgeous South Carolina soirée. Captured perfectly by the lovely Kellie Kano, it's hip, eclectic, and all-together elegant. I'm totally in love with the bride's hair. The color, the do...
