From beginning to end, this tropical Maui wedding weekend planned by Couture Events is filled with rich traditions and thoughtful details. The bride and groom decided to celebrate their unique cultures, Italian and Filipino, throughout their day with meaningful touches - like delicious cold brew upon guest's arrival and an all-Italian dinner menu.
When today's gorgeous bride told her planner, Jenn Robirds Events, she wanted a navy and burgundy color combo for her wedding while still keeping it romantic - Jenn knew exactly how to turn a moody, almost collegiate color scheme into an elegant, romantic look. How you might ask? With dreamy soft blooms from Blossoms By Lisa of...
If you’re like us, you wait with bated breath every December for Pantone to name their color of the year. Each year, Pantone’s color trend experts predict which color is going to dominate the world of art and design (and weddings too, of course!) for the coming year. Sometimes the color is super obscure, like 2014’s Radiant Orchid, which is undoubtedly pretty but difficult to incorporate in your everyday life. We couldn’t be more thrilled with the 2020 color, Classic Blue! It is vibrant...
This year has completely changed the game for weddings, and, as a community (wedding pros and the pairs getting married), we’re adapting as best we can (actually doing better than we imagined, tbh!). That being said, no matter the format of the affair, we’re still hopelessly devoted to standout stationery and correspondence that makes a serious first impression. We’d even say that it’s especially important to go splashy with your wedding invitation once you’ve landed on a future date...
This weekend we're celebrating all things America in the most unusual of ways, but this kind of restraint fosters opportunity for creativity that makes it unique all on its own. This holiday is all about spending time with those you love doing anything from back yard barbeques to parades to pie contests and fairs. Some people spend the 4th on the water, some spend it in the middle of a big 'ol field shooting off fireworks like there's no tomorrow. Whatever your style is, adapting it to...
"I would advise brides to not be afraid to use a little colour and textures to bring their design concept to life. Do what is true to both of you as a couple - you won't regret it later!" Those are some wise words from Whitney Heard Photography if you ask us! In a playful palette of powder blue, pale peach and soft lavender hues, today's editorial celebrates all things pastel.

Editor's Note: Taking the time to make intentional efforts for celebration goes a long way in normal circumstances, but today in the climate that we're in, it's especially extraordinary. This AHdorable cactus party is the perfect example of how to take the confines of our situation and make the best of it! It's been a pretty wild time we're all going through. Emotions are high. My niece is only 6. She understands everything but not exactly. She tries to and she was ok with not having a...
There's always one thing about every wedding we publish on SMP that stops us in our tracks and makes us go "woah... that's AMAZING."

It’s still hard to believe that we’ve been social distancing for more than three months now, but, in the same breath, we’re kind of getting used to these new rules (or at least not feeling totally trapped by them). Zoom calls are keeping us in touch with our favorite people, streaming services are keeping us [Netflix and] chill, more downtime spent outside and less behind a desk is giving us the Vitamin D we’ve been deprived of for far too long, and online shopping+on-demand food &...
