This is a love story. A celebration. A gorgeous, inspired party that I have been obsessing over since the moment I first saw it. It's glowy and romantic and a total blueprint for what a truly memorable party looks - and feels - like. Designed by the bride, who also happens to be an event planner, with photographs by She N He Photography, this little celebration with laughter...
Reading the description from a Bride of her big day never will get old to me. It's just impossible. Each time as I work my way from beginning to end, I feel a grin forming on my face, and for a moment I feel like that lovely lady is one of my besties. Particularly when the story and Bride is as sweet as this one. With her a proposal that included her Grandmother's wedding ring, and a wedding that was perfect in every way thanks to the help of the ones she loved most, this wedding captured by ...
Can I just say that I love this wedding? Like love, love, love this wedding? Because not only is it drop-dead gorgeous (it sooo is), but it's sort of everything I always imagined my very own wedding to be; elegant, timeless and a laid-back vibe that is all kinds of charming. From the bride's beautiful tea-length Terry Costa to the brunch reception held at the awesome...
Simply put, this Dallas "I do" is everything. The rich colors palette, the statement floral design, and a dress so special, it could bring a tear to any wedding lover's eye. But when you stop to peel back the layers of pretty, you'll find a pair of college sweethearts who let nothing outshine their love. And with the help of Colette Creative and Coco Fleur Events every...
A little bit vintage, the perfect dash of romance and a whole lot of love, this wedding is just a dream come true for any bride-to-be (or blogger in my case). It's Houston sophistication at its finest yet with a cozy warmth, all planned to perfection by Bash! A Special Events Firm. With gorgeous florals from Stems Custom Floral and a collection of picture perfect...
Texas weddings hold a special place in my heart. Over the years as I have cozied up with all the goodness on SMP Texas, I've learned something important - whatever the particular style of a Texas wedding, whether it's ballroom or backyard - they share two common ingredients, heart and family. Anahi Weddings brought us just such a heart warming wedding, where family had a hand in every gorgeous detail, and you can see every last...
When we see the group of vendors involved in this beauty of Texas wedding joined forces again to create wedding magic, we simply sit back, grab a another cup of coffee and watch the magic happen. Because when Nadine Photography, Petal Pushers and Nostalgia Film team up at the gorgeous ...
I absolutely adore the Beatles. My entire life has been filled with lullabies by John, Paul, George and Ringo - so this couple's engagement shoot based on A Hard Day's Night? I couldn't love it more. With images from June Bug Co. Photography, florals from Bows and Arrows and styling by ...
My recently engaged sister (+ bestie) called me the other day to ask for advice on domestic destination locales, wanting to know where in the good ol' US of A I thought would make a perfect vacation spot + wedding weekend for all of our friends and family. My answer? The Lone Star State. Fabulous vendors, breathtaking venues and some major experience in throwing pretty, pretty weddings... it's a no-brainer, really. First on my list of examples? This fab Houston day from...
Sometimes, not always, but sometimes, I get to "meet" you bride and grooms out there in SMP-land. You send me a sweet email regarding your feature and we chat back and forth about the specific details or just, in general, how very awesome you are. Because, let's face it, you lovelies ARE awesome - and today's darling Houston bride? She's like a crazy cool combo of seriously sweet + oh-so-chic, and from the very first "hello" in my inbox, I knew her wedding was going to be one of my...
Two brothers, two Brides and one adorable State Fair day-after shoot from Katie Cassidy Photography apparently equals image after image of pure fun. Complete with corn dogs, cotton candy, carousels and enough cuteness to make your grin go ear from ear, this sweet little shoot is the perfect pick me up this Tuesday morning, and there is even more waiting for you...
Prepare to be inspired, SMPers, because this San Antonio wedding is one breathtaking soiree. Captured to perfection by Mint Photography and filled with the most gorgeous purple hues, it's swoon-worthy from start to finish. Add one of the most fabulous ceremony set ups I ever did see and one oh-so-cute flower girl, and it's safe to say this gallery is a...
Some folks just ooze style without having to do a thing. So when those lovelies decide to tie the knot, we sit back and watch magic happen. These two cuties captured by Select Studios fall perfectly in that category. And their wedding? Drop dead gorgeous. With that effortless yet elegant style that makes us all swoon over here at SMP, this wedding has style for miles, and...
I'm not usually one to play favorites, but from the moment this wedding hit my inbox I knew we were in for something wildly special. It's modern and stylish yet playful and whimsical all rolled into one. Starting with a bold black and white palette, this creative couple layered on purple and gold, stripes and sparkle, all of which added up to one uber fabulous day. But the best part yet? The vendors who made it all happen. ...
This couple? I love them. Truly, honestly, want to be their best friend - love them. After one peek at the lovely Bride's description below and I realized why this wedding captured by Sunny 16 Photography looked so "them" - it was planned by them. Both of them, hand in hand making it a detail-filled love fest everything they both wanted, and that just warmed my heart. The result is one gorgeous (and fun) fête, and...
For a girl who absolutely adores intimate weddings (read: me), an elopement is one of the best ways to say I do. It's all of the glamour of a traditional day paired down to the coziest of details for just you and your honey. Absolute heaven, if I do say so myself. And for these two sweeties, it was a day that was planned to beautiful perfection by the gorgeous bride, who dreamt up every moment and filled them all with sweeter than sweet details that really spoke to her and her mister (I'm...
This gorgeous Bride found out pretty quickly that planning a Texas wedding from Montana is no easy feat, that is until she brought on the lovely Emily Moise of Keely Thorne Events. That's when she found the wedding of her dreams quickly unfolding before her very eyes. With inspiration from an early morning sunrise directing the color palette and floral decor from ...
Things I love about this bride? She's adorable (but, of course), her smile is seriously contagious and she ordered a plate of bacon the morning of her wedding... the perfect getting ready food. Things I love about this groom? He's one dapper gentlemen (but, of course), his love for his bride is more than evident and he rocked a bow-tie like no one's business. But, you know what I love even more? The two of them together. Because even though I only spent five minutes with them courtesy...
I'm bad at surprises. Love them! But I can't keep a secret for the life of me, out of pure excitement. So, I love seeing others pull it off, like this sweet Groom did for his proposal to his Bride, immediately followed by a pre-planned engagement party with family and friends (bonus points!). Melts your heart, right? And it all led to the prettiest wedding day captured by Ivy Weddings, so well, that you wouldn't even know a drop of rain...
Both modern and nautical-inspired pretty make an appearance in this sweet Lakewood Yacht Club affair and let me be the first to tell you, it's downright lovely. From the DIY details so expertly crafted by the bride and groom (seriously... they are DIY pros) to the pops of vibrant yellow to the amazing florals from Special Arrangements, there's not a moment that...
