Congrats to all the board submitters! I was part of the first contest and know how time intensive it can be to hunt down images and come up with something great.
I really like Kelly's board--very old Hollywood glamour with touches of Victorian, Gothic details. Well done!

Ooops, accidentally commented on Friday's post. I said Cella's board made me swoon! It was my personal fave, but all of the boards are really lovely.
Laura, or anyone else, can you tell me who designed the dress in Laura's board? I love it. Thanks!

Brandi- I really love your board, I'm also into that modern, rustic look. I love the outdoor reception strung with lanterns! And the colors!
Posted by: Kris | August 20, 2007 at 04:23 PM
I like Asian Elegance...clean, crisp, simple and you don't often see ethnic weddings on design boards. On a totally personal note... I prefer the look of a simple board (like the last winning design that used the traditional style me pretty format). It takes a lot of skill to pick a few pictures that capture the essence and that can get a "feel" across with just a few images. With a ton of pictures I find it hard to focus.

to joanna, the dress in my board is monique lhuiller from her fall 2007 collection.
