    I’ve been staring at this next wedding for the last hour and something about it just kind of takes my breath away. It’s this perfect combination of backyard effortlessness and total elegance. A combo that isn’t that easy to pull off this beautifully. I think that it’s probably the insanely gorgeous flowers that has taken this design to an entirely new level…but the perfectly gorgeous bride in her perfectly gorgeous gown, the wedding cake that I want to magically appear at my front doorstep so I can devour every inch of it and the adorable touches like the customized Mad Libs games do...

    As promised...here are a few more images from the gorgeous wine country wedding that we featured yesterday... All photos are by Katie Moos Every detail of this gorgeous wedding was tended to...and in such a way that nothing seems overly styled or coordinated. The color palette is rich and varied, the textures and style of the flowers, the linens and the gowns all seem to flow seamlessly. This wedding is such an inspiration. Using this affair as a launching pad, I am going to tackle a few reader color palette questions tomorrow. Also, if you haven't already, make sure you put your vo...

  • I'm supremely lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth - California's Napa Valley.  The weather is mild most of the year (except this week), we have a built in destination wedding location.  We live a great lifestyle here, made famous by numerous TV shows like Falcon Crest and Napa Living.  Food & wine are integrated parts of everyday life along with outdoor dining in the summer and gorgeous views driving to work.  But enough of that... :)    When I think of Napa Valley or Wine Country Weddings, I think about barrel rooms, caves, mountain views and acres of...

    Geoff & I were very excited to work with Cay Lemon of Zest Productions on the gorgeous wedding of a gorgeous couple Jenna & Ryan (who may also be referred to as “the hotness”). Every detail was carefully planned & beautifully executed. It was absolutely stunning. The wedding celebration took place at the Villagio Inn & Spa in Napa Valley. The couple chose a color palette of black & white, with a bit of fushia & red thrown in. Karen Axel Tapestry Flowers created stunning floral centerpieces & accents. Jenna & Ryan were absolutely beaming all day long, and...

    I am so excited to feature this beautiful intimate wedding that J.P Langlands was so kind to send over. This weeding took place in fall in the Northern CA wine country. The bride and groom had a small ceremony and reception with their close family and friends. The bride dressed in a cocktail dress before the ceremony to capture some fun shots of the day and then changed into her wedding dress for the rest of the evening. I love how simple yet beautiful they made their day. Details Images via {j.p l photography}Location {Glen Ellen, CA}Flowers {bancrofts flowers in Sonoma}Cocktail Dre...

    Sylvie Gil is one of SMP’s all time favorite photographers. She not only turns out really beautiful work, she is also forever blessed with some of the coolest weddings. This one, started with a simple city hall ceremony, followed by a chic, casual affair at the Carneros Inn in Napa… I am a BIG fan of all things wine country…but it is really refreshing to see such a simple, modern soiree paired next to the stunning green backdrop. The combination is breathtaking and one that we don’t see all that often! More to come from this gorgeous wedding! © Style Me Pretty : The Ultimate Weddin...
