Style Me Pretty’s Little Black Book

So I must admit – I do have a love-affair with a certain little blog.

It’s true love though, rest assured. It’s a love that developed because this is not a blog that floods your eyes and brain with an avalanche of scattered, random wedding “stuff”. No. It’s not a blog that’s here and gone tomorrow or that exists only to assault you with ads and spam and blah.

No. Not at all.

It’s a blog that celebrates LOVE, fantastic style and weddings. Perfect combination, in my world! This is one of those special must-bookmark blogs that’s super-careful in selection. It’s a blog that has literally put magazines out of business. The people behind it research, consider, debate and only put forth what they consider the best of all things wedding-style related. It’s a blog that frequently makes me think, “Awwwllll, I want THAT for my wedding!”

And so – for a year I’ve longed to be a part of it: maybe just some little block of blue 8-point text that would say Chelsea Nicole: she has pretty-style.  Alas, I knew the challenges were formidable: Style Me Pretty only allows what they consider to be the top THREE photographers of any region to be in their coveted ‘Little Black Book’. They spend a long time to pick each. And sometimes, when they can’t find good enough photographers – the spots remain empty. They use multiple editors to research each photographer’s work before passing it to another review cycle. Then they read reviews, community activity, and ask well-known photographers for their input.

Well my friends, the patience has paid off!  I’m VERY excited to finally be included in Style Me Pretty’s Little Black Book!

Here’s a snippet from the email sent from Abby Larson (editor of Style Me Pretty):

“Because we genuinely admire the high quality of your photography I’m writing to invite you to join our Little Black Book of Very Important Vendors. A truly unique virtual resource, The Little Black Book shows off the most innovative and chic wedding professionals on the planet.

Our process for extending each invitation is rather extensive… Although my email-box averages 400 emails per day, many from vendors who are required to submit an application to be considered we prefer to handpick outstanding companies such as your own who represent the crème de la crème of the wedding industry.”

And, far better than that little block of black 9-point text:  Abby wrote a fantastically sweet write up in my destination wedding featurette.  You can take a peak at my pretty-little Las Vegas listing here
