If there is one thing to take away from this wedding, you may want to look past the hand painted wedding logo, the fits-like-a-stunning-glove gown, the ridiculously beautiful flowers and go straight for this bride's smile. Though, I highly recommend not forgoing all of that as it is amazing. But Craig Paulson Photography captured a smile that goes for miles and I am guessing, along with...
You know the wedding was enjoyed by all when even Mother Nature cooperates and sends a magical sunset in honor of the happy couple. And you know you're a lucky couple when you've got talented Sweetwater Portraits to capture said magic. This was just one of those weddings that is filled to the brim with gorgeous light, gorgeous details, and most...
Can we just forget the fact that the weekend is knocking at our door and get lost in this beautiful image from Elle Jae Weddings? Seriously, I've been sitting here taking it in for far longer than I'd like to admit. It is so dreamy. I promise to let you escape off to your weekend, but you have to promise me to peek at the rest of this engagement shoot first. Until...
What you are about to see is a lesson on how to plan the perfect wedding weekend. Rehearsal dinner, wedding, brunch... tie it all together so the images (like these gorg ones from Melissa Hayes Photography) flow in a way that is beautiful. This is a rehearsal dinner and a wedding all in one post, and even I am learning so much about honing in on your...
If SMP were here for one reason and one reason only, that is to inspire. To inspire our readers, you, to build a wedding centered around your love story, and just as beautiful. PenWeddings is a favorite because of that one reason. They always have the most inspiring stories. I especially love how these two decided to exchange traditional vows... but exchange their own, personal vows at their first look. It's perfect. [iframe...
Of the Jonathan Adler fans in the world, we consider ourselves pretty serious megafans here at SMP. Needless to say, when a wedding comes along inspired by Mr. Adler, we all sit in awe as we take in every image from Trevor Dayley Photography. The bride and Butterfly Petals did a phenomenal job creating...
I'll admit, sometimes my husband doesn't love my job as much as I do. The second he walks through the door, I immediately regale him with stories of all the gorgeous weddings I came across throughout the day... and which bits of them I'm filing away for our wedding redo. And somedays, today included, the idea of a destination wedding redo gets tossed around (on my end). My husband may not love you XO ANDREA, but I sure do! Big thanks...
Sometimes the very best weddings are the very smallest. The intimate backyard affairs that are filled to bursting with love, like this one from Danielle Capito Photography. It was stunning, yes, but you can almost feel the love radiating out of your computer screen. It's a total heartwarmer, this one. From the photographer...
I can't help but be in a cheerful mood after seeing the photos for our latest installment of Behind the Invitation! Tyler and Jessie from One Plus One Design are here today to tell us the story behind this sweet design. From the lovebirds, Jeff and Jen flying away in their getaway plane, to the map envelope liners and the bright color combo, the whole...
We saved this wedding for today, just in case you aren't super excited to be sitting in your office in front of your computer after you holiday weekend. Mirelle Carmichael Photography's images are enough to make your desk chair a little more comfortable and your day a little more cheery. The wedding is an ear to ear smile from beginning to end!...
It's kind a party in the SMP offices today because one of our (super gorgeous!) LBBers just tied the knot and we've got the amazing images from Michelle Gardella Photography right here. Chelsea of Everthine Bridal Boutique married her sweetheart in a soiree that has our hearts racing and the...
Sometimes it's a bouquet, other times it's a cake, and it can even be a simple DIY rosette that wins over my décor-loving heart... and then there are times like this where I get all three. T.H. Jackson Huang of Ikonica captured a wedding that is the complete trifecta of wedding décor and you are seriously going to be floored when you click here!...
If Arielle Doneson Photography shoots it, it's automatically added to my favorites list. Seriously, everything this girl touches is golden, but when you start out with a wedding that is knock your socks off stunning then add Arielle's seasoned eye into the mix, it's golden and then some. Not to mention, the bride's sister is Lauren Chism Fine Papers - swoon. I'm 100% completely...
This weekend marks the unofficial end to summer, which sort of means the unofficial end to Wedding Season. While that is so sad in it's own way, I'm kind of excited for the fall and winter weddings to start rolling in. Winter is, after all, my favorite season. So enjoy your long weekend my loves, and as a special treat, we'll be posting two beautiful weddings Monday. That way you can give them your undivided attention, without pesky work getting in the way. Now go enjoy that last bit of warm...
If I'm being honest, I'm a bit of an anglophile. Which means pretty much anything from across the pond grabs my attention. But anything Marianne Taylor Photography sends to me pushes me over the edge. I'm completely obsessed with her gorgeous images, and when she is brought on to capture a wedding like this (I'm having a hard time not...
I've been in a New York state of mind lately, so this elopement from Genevieve Nisly Photography is calling, nay yelling, my name. The photographs are beautifully simple: telling the story of the lovebirds and their city on the most romantic day of their lives. Can you hear me swooning? From the beautiful bride... Eloping is AWESOME! It is still...
There's just something about Karen Hill Photography. Her images have that old New York charm. The feeling you get when the light is just right, and the air has just the perfect amount of crisp in it, and you can feel the happiness all around you. Which is why we adore weddings like this one... shot by Karen, and without question, perfectly gorgeous.
Fans of The Great Gatsby, I've got a treat for you. This wedding was planned before the new movie was filmed, and set to take place less than a mile from the original Gatsby. Keeping that in mind, the couple planned a party that looked to be a roaring good time, and we've got the inside scoop from Meghan Sepe Weddings. From the...
There are two beauties in this California engagement session, the light (and honestly, this whole gorgeous locale) and that blushing bride to be. Don't get me wrong, the groom is quite the looker too, but Ryan Ray Photography captured this leading lady in a way that captures her natural beauty, accentuated by a love-induced glow, and the gallery is gorgeous.
I am beyond excited this morning m'dears and thrilled to introduce one of our newest Little Black Book members and couture invitation designers, Bliss & Bone! Owners, and husband and wife team, Cindy + Carl, are one seriously stylish duo. With designs inspired by fashion and interiors, they're so on...
