After Memorial Day a few weeks ago, we're sure you've got pools and BBQs on your mind. But for those of us who love, love winter weddings (guilty!), it's always a good time for some snow covered inspiration. And what is a better place for a winter wonderland than Colorado? This wedding, captured by Brinton Studios, has us counting down to the days of mittens, hot chocolate, and adorable cold weather brides with rosy cheeks.
Only in California can you go from beach to ballroom without skipping a beat (OK maybe in Florida too). But none the less, this Santa Monica charmer is filled with loads of pink hues, adorable on-lookers in their bathing suits and sand in your toes beach views. A match made in seaside heaven otherwise known as Shutters on the Beach. Sarah Yates captured all the...
Let's face it. Europe is always way ahead of us here in the U.S. when it comes to cool stuff that makes sense. Take Zankyou for instance, the number one online wedding service in Europe.

That's less than PayPal!
Grab a fork and spoon because y'all are going to eat.this.up. Seriously, every last bite of it. Just imagine a magical place where all of your favorite wedding props from all of your favorite weddings came together under one pretty roof. All of those "where did you get that?" questions answered at a one stop shop. Sounds too good to be true? Well for once - it isn't! This magical place is also know as...
The ampersand is such a sweet symbol of togetherness and unity. This Mar Vista wedding by Flory Photo incorporated it so nicely into their design and decor from the awesome, modern ceremony programs to the fun, quirky centerpieces. The little playful touches bring an element of whimsy to this country club affair. ...
It's official. I've died and gone to wedding heaven. Have you ever seen a dreamier, more romantic looking wedding than this Byron Bay beauty by Scout & Charm? What is about down under that is just so darn adorable? Up and coming designers, Scout & Charm sure did pull out all the stops to create a breathtaking, fluffy vintage cloud of a wedding from which I never...
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Indian weddings have got to be so. much. fun. Consider, if you will, this Dallas fusion wedding. Greg Blomberg Photography's photos are so full of life, emotion, fun, and color, you almost can hear the music and feel the dancing. It's amazing! The couple is so adorable together. And, did I mention, the bride has at least three dresses? Any wedding that affords the bride three costume...
Confession time here. I'm totally smitten with all the gorgeous traditional weddings we've been seeing here lately at SMP and this one is certainly no exception. It exudes so much southern charm and elegance that I'm gonna go ahead and say it's THE ultimate epitome of pretty in pink! Sent into us by Brooke Images, this Florida Wedding has the girly girl inside of me jumping for joy! I love all the personal touches this cute couple added to...
I feel like Thursday is a perfect day for a little break of the wedding video variety. By this time in the week, you've logged one to many hours thanks to the daily grind, you're hoping for the weekend and you just need a little pep in your pretty little step. Well ladies and gents, I bring you pep. It might make you get a bit sappy, but I think we all secretly love that. I mean, you can seriously place bets on the fact that I WILL cry when the couple exchange vows in every.single.video., and...
Could we get much cuter than this Fort George Island wedding by Kristen Weaver Photography? I am way passed the appropriate giddy level over those sweet-as-can-be centerpieces. I love the cotton-filled mason jars paired with those gorgeous anemones and peonies and, of course, the pears! A true Southern soiree filled with buckets of charm. ...
There's so many things to love about California, but I think my favorite has to be how different each area looks. Pretend just for a moment that you didn't know Los Gatos was in Northern California and this next wedding might just seem like it leaped right off the pages of a fairytale. Hansel and Gretel, perhaps? Captured by Delbarr Moradi, this romantic and airy wedding will send you straight off to la-la land, in a...
You probably won't believe me when I tell you that this gorgeous wedding by Rosie Parsons Photography was planned in just six months...but alas, it's true! This laid back bride just let everything fall into place for her big day and lucky for her it all came together gorgeously! I'm loving the black cocktail bridesmaids dresses and the outdoor terrace at the Bingham Hotel. Now there's a place I could stay all day...
I must admit, I am ever so slightly jealous of this Chicago wedding. It has more of a green thumb then I could ever hope to muster and the result is a delightfully eclectic soirée in Chicago all caught on film by Lark Photography. The bride and groom wanted to create a day that was not only a reflection of their love and commitment but environmentally conscious (like really, really conscious) to boot and all hand-crafted, sourced...
I sure hope you've got some frequent flier miles burning a hole in your pocket, because after you spend some time with this Jamaican wedding from David Murray Weddings, you're going to be turning up the Bob Marley as you zoom to the airport. You may recognize this couple from their engagement shoot a while back.
I love this next wedding because it's simple and classic but with a twist of fun, bright pops of color in the yellow flowers and blue bridesmaid dresses. And I'm secretly dying over the bride's shoes. How stinking cute are they?! Sent into us by the amazing folks at Jubilee Photography this wedding is a cross cultural experience like no other. And I'm now officially obsessed with finding out more about the Thai water ceremony in...
Yellow just might be the poster child for bright, happy, shininess so incorporating it into a day that is one of the happiest ever is a complete no brainer. Sara Gray Photography snapped all the lovely images from this Portland Wedding and the yellow is bursting from every nook and cranny, crafted into every fun detail and...
We are all kinds of giddy over this Sonoma County wedding by Maya Myers Photography. It is bright and beautiful with sweet rustic touches mixed with modern elements...just the way we like it. I love the fontabulous table numbers paired with the vintage blue mason jars. The dinner plate dahlias are just out of this world amazing and the fact that these lucky guests got to take bunches home at the end of the night makes me green...
OK, so I've been married for awhile now but I am dying to step my tootsies into another gorgeous gown these days. I blame it 100% on all of the SMP gorgeousness I stare at daily. For instance, when I see a bride in a gown like this one shoulder wonder that is just so perfectly elegant, I have a craving to stick my noggin' through that show-stopper neckline. Are you with me on this? The entire affair, captured by ...
When the bride walks down the aisle to Pretty Woman, you know you are in for a festive little fête! If you are anything like little ol' me, that song will now be on repeat in your pretty little head for the rest of the day - thankfully it provides great back ground music for this colorful and deliciously fun party by Caplan Miller Events, complete with a darling donut bar! In my book, donuts are completely calorie-free at weddings...
When a wedding planner gets married, simply put, it rocks. All the inspiration, all the ideas bouncing around in her brain, all the creative and unique details, come out in a beyond fabulous way. This Los Angeles wedding united the brains and beauty behind our very own LBB vendor, Orange Blossom Special Events, with her handsome hubby. Photographed brilliantly by...
