SMP aGaIN! at “The Ranch”, of course

BySophie 12/27/2012

We were in Style Me Pretty AGAIN! What a treat! A huge thank you to Jen Rodriguez, an amazing photographer who is professional, talented and e.a.s.y. to work with, for submitting Emily & Tyson’s October wedding! I have been published three times with Jen at San Ysidro Ranch… if you are a bride who is interested in “getting published” on the blogs, Jen is a great resource for that. She loves showing off your beauty, details and wedding moments. Emily & Tyson’s wedding was one of the most laid-back, intimate, fun weddings I worked all year. Emily’s sassy silver cocktail dress was SO original but will be a classic, I’m sure! The florist, Camilla Svensson Burns of Camilla Flowers, created bright, rich florals for the bridal party, beautiful florals that generously filled the center of the single, long feasting table in the Hydrangea Cottage… but most of all, her designer’s eye made Emily & Tyson’s wedding cake one of the MOST stunning that I have seen all year!

S’more blog love… SMP aGaIN!

BySophie 04/09/2013

I loved Katherine & Scott’s wedding for so many reasons… Maybe it was Katherine’s refreshing smile and beautiful, honest heart? Maybe it was Scott’s interest in the teeny-tiny details of the wedding like the wooden-framed, glass handwritten menu for the buffet table or the homemade jam from his parents? Or maybe it was the INCREDIBLE…

2FuN! Mismatched Bridesmaids Dresses

BySophie 09/25/201410/07/2014

So you’ve asking your besties (and maybe that cousin who you love so much) to be your bridesmaids… And they said Yes! So the hunt is on for ONE dress style & color that fits anyone and everyone’s body type, right?! Ugh. What a pain. They’re itchy, they complain. Or your sorority sister Sandy doesn’t…

BySophie 06/17/2015

I felt so privileged to be a part of Gwen + Nick’s Condor Ridge Ranch wedding last summer. It was chalk-full of DIY details, friend-ors and personal touches that made it so perfect for this beautiful Bride and handsome Groom. From Gwen’s handmade shawl to Nick’s homemade home brew beer, this wedding was pure down…
