Totally love the images of one our recent Real Weddings on Style Me Pretty today.  Also, thanks to all of the readers for the outpouring of lovely comments!  *Blushing* Here are the beautiful boards SMP created. Incredible design by Matthew Robbins Design (of course!).  Dog photo*adorable*  The bride*gorgeous*  That dress*divine*  Thanks also to team at Christian Oth, including Christian himself, for the rad images.  Maybe you’ll see some more tomorrow?? Check it.

So, we are about a week (or so) late on this one!  What happened? Bridal Market Week happened.  Anyway, the Wedding Chicks recently posted one of our summer weddings at Caramoor, shot by the always wonderful and talented Chris Humphreys.  Check it .  Apparently, we were also quoted in the NY Daily News last week… thanks.

The lovely and talented Leila Khalil is featuring one of our summer weddings on her wonderful Inspired By This blog today.  Thanks ladies for the love.

Yay! Our fave wedding (of which we recently gave you a Sneak Peek) is up on Style Me Pretty all day. xo

We launched a Facebook page in conjunction with our new blog re-design. Visit us to see the latest in our Sneak Peeks of recent weddings, inspiration, and general LHE updates and info. Or, if you want, become a fan!

So, a few weeks back we received an email from Michael Antonia, who is a producer and DJ, that has worked with the likes of The Roots, Black Eyed Peas, and Outkast (yes, this list goes ON) and now works with the amazing photographers from Our Labor of Love (who we of course completely adore), to create a company called The Flash Dance.  Their blog is nothing short of amazing, even down to the intro, which is footage of famous musicians on their wedding day: think Elvis & Pricilla, John & Yoko, Mick & Bianca. * loves*it*  Michael has now expanded his blog to highlight vendors in L.A. that he feels accurately represent their aesthetic, approach, and clients.  We were lucky enough to be asked to sit down with him and chat (well, over the phone) about his work, his blog, and his fresh approach to redefining weddings.  We are now daily followers of his blog and think it a great resource for L.A. couples getting married, who don’t want the traditional approach to weddings, but who want fantastic vendors.  Check out the props in the profile  he posted on us.

More from Michael about his company, in his own words…
2 couples, (Jess & Whit, Michael & Elizabeth) one little man, one little girl, three dogs and a lot of love!

They say if you love someone you have to let them go, and if they love you they’ll come back. Flashdance is an idea that has been brewing for nearly a decade… Way back in the day Whitney and Michael dreamed of having their own company together. Looking for love drove them to the furthest corners of the country, (Seattle, Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles) falling in love brought them back together. Nearly 10 years later, with families in tow, they are finally doing exactly what they always wanted to do. (and nobody’s telling them how to do it!). Hooray!

We didn’t get into this business because we thought it would be an easy way to earn a buck, we did it because our weddings were the most amazing days of our lives, and so much fun, that we decided to trade in the grind of corporate events, music festivals, and nightclubs, to make love and happiness the biggest part of our lives. We think we made the right choice!

Style Me Pretty posted a picture of Kaitlin’s wedding dress yesterday and wrote a wonderful entry about the work that goes into the Little Black Book directory.  SMPs is commited to hand-selecting each vendor they represent in the Little Black Book.  Being a listed vendor in both Manhattan and Southern California, we are familiar with the process and know it to be absolutely true that SMP fact & reference checks, extensively researches, and qualifies each and every vendor represented in the directory.  From Inspiration Boards to product reviews, Real Weddings, and vendor listings, SMP embodies quality in everything to which they attach their name and brand.  As many of our favorite and most preferred vendors in the industry, on both coasts, are listed in the Little Black Book, we know that SMP really does their homework and raises the level of quality in our industry to a whole new standard. 

Thanks to the wonderful Bridal Bar blog for the shout out today!  We are honored to be included in such great company at The Bridal Bar.  As we have mentioned before, The Bridal Bar has created an accessible resource for brides, where they have access to the best wedding professionals that Los Angeles (and San Diego) has to offer, lead by Industry-insider and former Inside Weddings editor, Harmony Walton.   For our SoCal brides, head to the either BB location: West Hollywood or San Diego to find the most qualified resources for your wedding.  Below is the post from the BB blog and they also mentioned our new blog re-design!

Kelly is their west coast guru, so whether you will wed in the Hampton’s, in the city, or on Catalina island, have fun with it, catch a few inspiring ideas from these photos, and know that they’ve got you covered from coast to coast.

Their style? Relaxed elegance if we had to give it a name…

We’d like to thank the ever-inspiring blog Black Eiffel for the shout out last week.  They featured some of Terry’s photos and Matthew’s decor from the Caramoor wedding that we produced.  And, as mentioned earlier last week, the wedding was also featured in Winter Elegant Bride.  We appreciate the props…
