Think Ranch Wedding Venues Are Too Rustic? Think Again.

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." For today's wedding - it's the gorgeous black and blush barn reception. Everything about it is breathtaking - the greenery adorned chandeliers, Rachael Ellen Events' soft, feminine blooms, not to mention that insane CAKE. We don't about you, but this day made us completely rethink what styles were possible at a ranch venue. Head on over to the full gallery to see all the inspiring details - beautifully captured by Sophie Kaye Photography!

The Perfect Recipe for a Virtual Girls Night In With Your Bridesmaids

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 & beverage deliveries are giving us whatever ‘life’ we’ve felt like we’ve lost since March. It’s not ideal, for sure, but we’re finding ways to make it more doable. And by the time this virus is a distant memory, brides are going to have the whole engaged-in-the-time-of-quarantine routine all figured out. COVID: you can take the wedding (as we used to know it) away from the bride, but you can’t take the party away from her and the girls…

10 Ways to Show Your Bridesmaids Love From Afar

There are a lot of things about being a bride that can make a girl feel smiley all the time. Of course, with COVID-19 still calling the shots, several of those mood-boosting bride benefits have been hijacked for the time being. And while we can’t wait for social distancing to become a part of our past, since it’s such a present priority, bonding with bridesmaids isn’t exactly doable the way it once was. The after-work happy hour to celebrate your new bride status - on hold; the bottomless brunch to bring everyone together for that big ‘ask’ - postponed until further notice; the shopping trip to find the fashion your squad will slay in - not exactly #essential enough to book now.

Our 6 Promises to Champion a True Change in the Wedding Industry

Like so many others, we have spent the past week listening, learning, and coming together as a team to establish a clear action plan in order to champion change in our community we truly stand behind. Don’t get us wrong, we are very aware that SMP has a long way to go. But this is a start. And we will only continue to get better, that’s a promise.

It’s now time to take our place as a leader in this industry and stand up against racism, both in the wedding community and the world. That being said, we are beyond excited to share our 6 initiatives with you today. We say initiatives, but they are truly our promises. Please know that we wholeheartedly welcome you into the conversation, if there’s something more that we can be doing - please reach out to us! We invite you to share any and all thoughts as to how we can invoke lasting and meaningful change.  We look forward to a brighter, more diverse, and most importantly - EQUAL future for all… in the wedding space and beyond.

A Master List of BIPOC Wedding Professionals to Support Now and Forever

We have listened. We have learned. And now it’s time to show up and do better. Plain and simple. If you have been following along on our Instagram for the past week, we’ve been sharing our 6 promises to encourage a true change in our community. As a leader in this industry, it’s our job to do our part in standing up to the injustice our brothers and sisters in the Black community have been facing for far, far too long.

Here at SMP, we believe the wedding industry is deeply flawed. It is so obviously not representative of the colors that so beautifully construct our world. Without a shadow of a doubt, we’re doing a disservice to our readers by under-representing the Black community on our site. So, now and forever, we’re making it our priority, our mission in fact, to showcase the extraordinary talent of Black and POC wedding professionals from across the globe. Starting today.

A few days ago, we asked YOU to send us your favorite Black vendors that you’d like us to highlight on SMP, so we can give them the love they truly deserve. Thanks to you, we received so many mentions that we can’t wait to share! Below you’ll find a list of Black-owned businesses in the wedding industry that we will be continually updating as more come in. Please, give them a follow, support their work with likes and comments, or by any means you can, and head on over to their website’s to learn more about them! Trust us, the sheer talent in this list is truly mind-blowing.

Having someone to warm up a room is great for 3 reasons: Restores any energy that gets lost during the transition from cocktail to reception. Allows the DJ (and bartender) to get a feel for the room and see where people are “at”. Breaks the ice for the entertainment, allowing people to tear down any preconceived notion or barrier they may have for this stranger ‍ Team: @djwillgill | @calamigosranch | @infocusevents | @michaelanthonyphotography | @MyWeddingBlooms |

Overwhelmed is an understatement. I went back and forth as what to write that hasn't already been said by far more eloquent folks. All I have to share is me and some of my feelings behind one of my decisions as a Black woman-owned business. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have always been apprehensive about sharing a picture of myself in this space. Granted, if you have visited my website or corresponded with me, what I look like is not news to you. However, whereas your website is like your home, social media is like going out in the marketplace and for me sometimes the latter has been uncomfortable because of implicit bias. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Unfortunately, I’ve been othered, I’ve been told I should be grateful, I’m often the only one in the room. Some of these experiences have had pretty clear intentions behind their action while others may not have meant to come off that way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although Black florists are everywhere, I know that I am not what people expect in this social media-driven field where a certain look or type may be more common than others. It’s why I tend to close myself off and instead hide behind my flowers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I first rediscovered flowers, it was because of the beauty of their diversity. When I ventured into floral design what pulled me in was how to work their differences in a harmonious way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our industry mentions being mindful, thoughtful, and intentional with their creative endeavors. Imagine those same words applied to everything that we do. Be active, learn, process, be mindful of your actions and your words, be open. Don't just say you will do something, do it. | Image by @anyakernes ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ _ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatter #blackowned #blackflorist #ellamahfloral #laflorist #laweddingflorist #fineartflorist #floristsofinstagram
