It came as a shock to everyone in the wedding industry, future brides and grooms and many more that Style Me Pretty shut down with no advance warning.  New content stopped being posted last week and the entire site will shut down as of April 30.

Style Me Pretty was the gold-standard in our business.  Everyone wanted to have their weddings featured on the blog.  Being a Style Me Pretty vendor gave you a "cool factor" but then more and more wedding blogs appeared.

Something happened...many blogs all started to feature the same type of wedding and photos that Style Me Pretty loved.  The same aesthetic started popping up all over the internet.  

What started as something where creative and unique weddings were celebrated, became the same thing over and over again.  Mountains, boho vibes, perfect size 2 brides and grooms in suspenders and beards with just the right amount of scruff were everywhere.

In our world real weddings feature people that aren't all size 2 models.  Real weddings are in ballrooms and on beaches and in churches.  In our world real weddings are beautiful, and unique and wonderful.  They reflect who the couple is and we celebrate them for their uniqueness.

While, we are sad to see Style Me Pretty go, there is a piece of us that hopes that the blogosphere will acknowledge the differences and celebrate Love in all shapes, forms and celebrations.

What do you think about the end of Style Me Pretty and how wedding blogs portray weddings?

We would love to hear your thoughts!
