Hi Abby! I LOOOVE me some Style Me Pretty, and check it about 5 times a day! I'm getting married in June, and we're having a very vintage, eco-chic wedding which I am pumped for! The pink "Just Married" sign would fit in SO perfectly!! :)
I love the "Just Married" banner in silver. Its such a classic send off in a beautiful way. A lot of times, those send offs look tacky with tons of shoe polish and beer cans tied to the bumper, but not these. They are great and have such a vintage feel to them.
Love the green garland and the Forever banner!
I would choose the just married banner in green. So classic and beautiful!
We're getting married in May, so I'd go with "Just Married" in green--totally springy colors and a classic vintage feel to go with our vintage-rustic look!
I love the green garland because it perfectly matches our wedding colors and the "Just Married" banner because I'm a classic gal with traditional taste. :o)
Oh, the banners are wonderful! Until now I didn't think I would want a banner send off, but I am so smittten after looking at Renee's website. I would LOVE, the pretty green "forever" garland for our May 2010 wedding. Pretty please! :)
The 'Just married' one is my fav. It's classic, it's cute, and its going to look great on the back of our pick up truck!
I love the vintage car banners, they are classy and chic, yet still fun and unique! The silver garland with the "Just Married" tagline would go great with my wedding colors (variations of grey and fuchsia), and would look great in pictures! I love love love this idea!!
I love the "Hitched" banner because it's playful and blue garland since my wedding colors are blue and yellow!
I like the Just Married sign; plus the silver garlands. They would coordinate great with my wedding palatte (soft yellow + grey); these look so SWEET!
I love the pink colors and the "Hitched" sign. We're having a very formal wedding in June and think this banner would add a bit of fun and whimsy to the day!
I love cheekiness of the "hitched" banner. I'm getting married in April and our "get-a-way" car is one of those old school vintage London black cabs. The white and black "hitched" sign paired with the silver garland will pop on the black cab, making for an unique get-a-away.
Ahhh! What an adorable crafty lady Renee is! That is my cousin, and Maid of Honor's name too, and she is also crafty, too cute!
Ok, so this was tough because all of the choices are gorgeous...but I am DYING over the purple garland! It's gorgeous! And I love the classic, "Just Married" sign. The cans painted is such a cute cute cute thing, I am seriously in love with this idea. Thank you!!
I love the Just Married banner in silver. We're getting married in June, and we'll be driving out on a tractor--what can I say? My fiance is a real a country boy! This banner would add just enough girliness and class to our grand exit!
Oh my! I love that site and I'm so glad you posted it...just what I needed to help me find a car for our special day! I love the green banner and the super traditional "Just Married"! Thanks for the chance to win!
I would choose the "Hitched" banner in green. My wedding is going to be mostly green and white & I like that the banner is non-traditional and oh-so cute!
I love the mustard color garland and the "We did it" banner ... so cute! The mustard would look so great with our fall color scheme and "We did it" just sums it up perfectly, as in, "Hallelujah, We FINALLY got married!!!"
I love these - so perfect! I would choose the silver with "just married"...
The silver "Just Married" banner would look great against the back of our silver getaway car! While the banner isn't in the wedding budget (ugh, what is?!), you've inspired me to make one in case I don't win. :)
I love the playful "Hitched" banner in purple! This is such a cute idea!
We're getting married in March and our colors are slate blue, pewter, and really light blush pinks and cremes, so I think the Blue banner would fit in perfectly. I love the banner "I Do" because it's just so simple and yet means SO much.
Love love love the "Just Married" with the pink garland! it matches the "How Sweet It Is" cotton candy theme i'm doing at my reception!
We're getting married in July, and I would just love the Just Married sign and the flower garland in purple! My fiance and I are high school sweethearts, and our high school colors were purple and silver. We were both jocks- he was the QB, I was in volleyball, and we have a million pictures of us in high school wearing our purple team gear. The funny thing is that he got a scholarship to a school with the same colors, so now we have a million college pictures in purple team spirit gear, too. We have been together for almost seven years, and I'm not kidding- all of our photo albums are filled with purple! So basically, we NEED that purple banner to commemorate our extremely purple dating life! :)
I love these - just what I've been looking for.!! My fiance's dad has a vintage 1939 LaSalle that we will be driving away in at our Sept 2010 wedding and the classic Just Married banner in Mustard would look amazing against the navy blue car. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
I would pick pink "hitched" --- we are actually driving away in my future -father in law's cream pickup truck from the 50s. It is going to look so cool...and this would be perfect --- so classy and fun!!!
I would chose the "Forever" banner (what more is there to hope for?) with the silver banner. I am trying to locate a blue vintage car to hire for our Asheville wedding next year. No luck yet (& sadly N.Carolina isn't on a bride's ride yet) but I have faith that the universe will provide.
Thanks for the opportunity to enter & for the lovely pictures to brighten the day!
I would love to use the pink Just Married banner for our getaway car. So cute! :)
I love the Just Married banner in Green! Such a cute idea, love it!
I love the garland in pink and the banner in forever! Both are colors for are upcoming wedding in May and beyond adorable!
Ohhh I love these! We have a trolley instead of a car, so I would go with the classic "Just Married" in blue.
We're using buttons and other circular objects in purple fabrics and papers to accent our wedding. The obvious, and beautiful, choice for our day would be the purple garland with 'Just Married'. I love the classic phrase and it would look great on the Black Thunderbird we're using on the day.
Love, love love the Forever sign in the mustard color. It's bright and cheerful and totally my fiance and I.
Love, love, love the purple with the Just Married. I'm sure I will have several brides this season who will be thrilled with this find.
the green garland with "forever" would be great for my may wedding! LOVE!!
My favorite is the "Hitched" banner in the blue color. I like that saying because it's cute and fun and the color to add a something blue! What a great idea.
I love the "Just Married" and I'm thinking I like the mustard color. We are using a friend from church's 1969 Mustang that is bright blue so I thought the mustard would give a good pop of something different. Thank's for this opportunity!
Oooh - these are incredible! I'm all about a spash of color, so I would pick purple to go with my maids dresses. I'd definitely do "Hitched" because its a cute play on the traditional "just married". We're doing a trolley and this sign would be such an amazing addition to all the fun pictures we plan on taking.
I would have to go with the "Hitched" sign with the green garland. It's quirky enough to fit my fiance and I! We have already booked our 1948 Cadillac convertible as our getaway car for our wedding in June, and the vintage style of this garland would go perfectly with the classic car! An added bonus is green already being one of our wedding colors (orange is the other!).
Oh I lOVE these!! I would pick the green garland with "Just Married" because I get so happy every time I see a car with that phrase on the back. So classic and romantic.
I love the green flowers with "Just Married". Classic but fun! These are gorgeous!!! What a fabulous idea, I'm dying to book our vintage ride and this would be the perfect to go with!
This is probably the best decorated getaway car I have ever soon! Very romantic!
Yay! I'm in love with the "Love" banner with the pink flower garland. We're getting married on my parents farm up in a field of wild flowers by the apple orchards. We'll be having a yellow and pink lemonade stand and an old yellow antique car up at the ceremony site (complete with those giagantic balloons, of course!)...these banners would go perfectly with the vintage car and is the lovely little finishing detail for a fun-whimsical theamed wedding! Adorable
I LOVE the green garland with "Just Married." While we won't be having a vintage car, the green garland matches our colors perfectly and will look sharp against our black pick-up truck.
Call me simple or old fashioned, but I love the simple "Just Married" banner in purple! Our colors with be a dark plum/eggplant and mauve with hints of silver and gray, and we're crazy about finding unique, vintage details that will set our wedding apart.
oooohhh I love the green and the Just Married!!!! I would be the perfect getaway decor!!!!
The "Love" banner would look perfect with the green garland an be perfect for any outside wedding.
I think the "Hitched" banner with the purple garland would be perfect. What a fun way to end the day!
I like the mustard color for our fall wedding, and the "we did it" banner. after all, our friends and fam have been waiting 6.5 years!
The purple "Just Married" sign seems to be popular but I love that one as well. My color theme has purple in it and I would think that the sign would fit perfectly.
I love the classic "Just Married" in blue
Purple garland with the Forever banner! Will pop perfectly on the back of a trolley during a winter wedding with snow everywhere!
What a great idea! These match my vintage wedding theme perfectly. I would choose the green with "forever" banner.
how adorable! the pink "just married" is so perfect.
I absolutely love the "Just Married" sign in silver. It would be perfect for our getaway!
I choose the silver "Just Married." It's so simple and classy. I would absolutely love it :)
I absolutley love the "Hitched" banner. I would definitly go with the Mustard, as our colors are Orange (and teal). It would look soooooooo cute on the back of our new hobby car ( A 1981 Pontiac Trans Am with Gold Bird decal and all!) I am sure we will be driving off in it after the wedding.
I wouldn't call it a classic car-- but it is undoubtably fun!
THANK YOU, "A Brides Ride" & "Style Me Pretty" for the great giveaway!~
I always wanted something on the back of my car someday!
I LOVE the Mustard color garland with the Just Married Banner!
I am hoping that my dad doesn't sell his El Camino on the carlot
before we get married so I can use it & this would look just great!
Beautiful, Creative & Vintage, I LOVE IT!
So cute! I love the vintage look, especially on the back of a cool car or hanging up in a vintage-y reception venue like the one I'm getting married in!
I like the silver "We did it!" What a great giveaway!
I plan to marry my soulmate in July.We will have a outdoor wedding by the river.I am so in love with Vintage things and especially the vintage cars.If i had to choose i would pick the pink garland because that is my main wedding color along with the "Just Married banner".I want everyone that we drive by to know that we just made everything official.These banners are so cute and pretty with a great price and I would love looking back at this banner in our wedding photos.Thanks for the giveaway!
What a fun giveaway! I love the Mustard and Blue and We Did It and Hitched! So fun and summery... we're having a wedding in our backyard, which although is in the heart of the city we have a huge yard and a neighboring field!
Thanks so much for the chance to win!
What a fantastic idea! I love the "Hitched" banner and it would be just perfect for our big day in purple. It's these little details that leave guests with the WOW memories!
Silver is one of the primary colors we're using in our wedding due to one of the stars of our wedding day: my sweetie's ride since age 16 -an original Austin Mini from 1967. Since our engagement, he and his father have been painstakingly restoring it with our May 1 wedding deadline looming. In fact, the restored engine is going in this weekend (fingers crossed)! The wonderful silver "Just Married" banner would add that special vintage touch to all the photos featuring his beloved mini.
I *LOVE* the classic "Just Married" in blue! I think this would be perfect for a specific January wedding I am dreaming of...shades of blue are the color of inspiration. This would be the perfect finishing touch to send the new bride and groom off!
I really like the green. It's a major color in our wedding and it's also my favorite color. I also like, "Forever," versus, "Just Married." It's unique. Pick me SMP <3!
I LOVE these!! The green garland would fit in perfectly with our chocolate brown and chartreuse color scheme. I'd have to go with "Hitched" for the wording. Too cute!
These are ADORABLE! Love the site too for finding vintage cars, although I can't seem to submit a request :( Loving the green "Love" set - too cute! This would be so perfect for my vintage vineyard wedding!
Mustard and JUST MARRIED - LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Thanks for the chance! Merry Christmas!
So cute! Definitely green as that is one of my wedding colors. I DO is so adorable too! Great design!
Blue garland + 'Just Married' = the getaway car ensemble I've dreamed of since I was 5
*fingers crossed* :)
Green Garland with Hitched Banner...The perfect yet FABULOUS little touch to my very vintage inspired wedding :)
Not to mention this would look too cute on our 1950 limo!!! I LOVE IT!
I love the green garland with the LOVE banner. So super sweet! :) Thank you for the giveaway!
I love all the banners! But the silver with the LOVE is perfect for our wedding. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love StyleMePretty! These banners from A Bride's Ride rock! I love the blue "Just Married" one! We are getting married in the garden of a historic masonic lodge in August 2010, and accordingly the vibe for your wedding will be "historic-elegance." This banner would fit right in! I'm officially obsessed with StyleMePretty; I check the site early and often for unique ideas! Love, love!!
I have been searching everywhere for a vintage car for our June 19th wedding in Central Washington's wine country. I LOVE the pink garland with the Just Married Banner-so perfect for our formal/vintage wedding. Thanks for sharing A Bride's Ride and the giveaway!
I chose the Pink banner and the wording, "We Did It"! I love love love this banner!
i love the silver and "LOVE"
too cute and perfect for a getaway car! thank you!
This is such a great giveaway! The silver garland and 'Hitched' banner would be the perfect add-on to our vintage VW Beetle getaway car!!!
These banners are fabulous! Even if I don't win, I'm buying "We Did It" in blue. So fitting. After dating for eight years, our friends and family would probably add "Finally" to that sentence. :) The blue garland perfectly matches other vintage patterns in my wedding.
Hey SMP!!! What a fantastic idea for a giveaway, so creative, chic, and retro...I love, love, love these banners! The Just Married sign in pink matches our wedding and our personalities perfectly. We are getting married in a restored turn of the century hotel in Athens, GA, nicknamed the Classic City. We have a vintage/retro theme for our March wedding. And, of course, a vintage get away car to really complete the package. My fiance and I can not wait to be married to each other and spend the rest of our lives together. This banner would be such a wonderful addition to our upcoming nuptials!!
The banners are fabulous! I would love to have one of those for our car! just so so so cute! I loved the purple one with the FOREVER banner! Thank you for this chance :) Feliz Navidad!
The Just Married banner in pink is perfect. Classy Feminine, and Sweet. I love it!
These car banners are just adorable! I would choose the green "Just Married" sign if I had to pick just one. The colors for our wedding next July are Navy and Lime Green so this sign would fit perfectly with our wedding. I adore the vintage style and can only imagine the gorgeous pictures that we could have with this cute detail on our get-away car. I am actually thinking of all the other ways we could use these signs- maybe above our candy buffet, at the escort card table, or even hung on the entrance to our tent! The possibilities are endless for these cute banners!
These are so fun! I would choose the green "Hitched" sign. We're having a rustic country wedding next June 26, and are planning on using an old, vintage pickup truck as our getaway vehicle. The "Hitched" sign has a sort of country feel to it, and green is one of our wedding colors (and my favorite color of all time!) Thanks for the great getaway, and introducing us loyal SMP followers to A Brides Ride =)
I would absolutely pick the green "Hitched" sign - love it! We're actually getting married at the top of a ski mountain, but I would love the sign for our gondola ride! Too cute!
They are adorable! I would choose the pink "just married" for the car ...it's the perfect shade of pink too since it matches our wedding colors! And I've been loving the car signs for a getaway... sooo cute.
Just married with purple - we can't afford a fancy getaway car so this would really jazz up our ride!
I love the traditional "just married" banner and I would choose the green or silver flowers to match my wedding colors.
I would love the green just married banner! We are traditional in some aspects and not in others... but this would be one where we would want the "usual"; and we would pick green because it is our main wedding color! This would be perfect for us because we are borrowing his mom's car for the getaway and she loves that thing. We were given strict instructions that no "writing" on the car was allowed... so we are left with only a few options. Pick us!!!
I adore the Pink color "LOVE" banner! Pink because my wedding colors are black and white and the pink will be the really girly shade I need as a send off! Plus LOVE spells out our union together~ L = Laguna Beach CA where the proposal happened, O = the one ocean to travel across to get to me, V = Vermont where we want to honeymoon and E = ever after!
Im mushy!
I absolutely LOVE this! We're having an old white Jag take us from the reception to the hotel, and this banner would look stellar on that Jag! I love the purple - my colors are actually a purple and light blue. And I really really like the idea of having "Forever" spelled on the back of the car...signifying our lifelong commitment. I LOVE this!!!
A silver "Just Married" banner would look fantastic against the black classic cars that we'll be hiring for our big day, and also fit it with our colour theme of light blues/grey/raspberry.
I would choose the "Hitched" in Green. That green matches exactly one of our wedding colors. It would be perfect!
These are just perfect! They are whimsy and classy!
I am currently in grad school, Matt has nursed me through many stress-induced migraines and most recently lyme disease. Early in our relationship the song "Yellow Submarine" became a lullabye of sorts and Matt sings it to me when I am ill. That said, I would chose mustard for a color and would request a custom message "Set Adrift" in honor of our unofficial song!
On a side note, we are newly engaged and I have to say I am obsessed with this site! Well done!
So difficult to choose just one!!! But we finally found the perfect wedding venue, this vintage little house with a big entrance to park the (also vintage) car that´s bringing us from church!
That been said, I would have to go for the blue one (to match all the blue details in our decoration, I myself would add a touch of yellow also) with the "I do" banner... those are the words I cannot wait to say!
Dear Style Me Pretty,
We send our SMP love from Charleston city!
The **MUSTARD JUST MARRIED** would certainly take
Second place -- not even to a cake!
My man's a Navy boy,
so shades of Navy and gold sure bring us JOY!
I'd have to go with the pink Just Married banner! It would look great with our black 1950 cadillac get away car!
Pink and Blue are my wedding colors, and I love that "Just Married" banner.
WOW Guys! What a great response. :) I'm so tickled that you love these kits as much as we do! I bet Abby has to pick a random number...because there's no way you can read these and just choose one! I so love the little stories!
xo,
-Renee
This is one of those details I wish I'd thought of myself - what a great idea! I'd love the mustard-colored "Hitched" banner. So perky and fun!
I love love love these! I'd pick the classic 'Just Married" sign with mustard accents! Beautiful!
These are great! I would choose the "Just Married" in silver. It would be perfect with my gray and yellow color palette!
the silver "we did it" would be amazing!
Like many of the others I would choose silver with the traditional "Just Married" banner, for my sister's upcoming wedding.
Love these! Silver "Just Married" is my dream. Classic! :)
I like green and the traditional "just married"!
i was JUST thinking about how i wanted one of these real bad! i love the silver flower garland, so sleek yet beautiful. and i think i like the banner that says hitched. it makes a statement, with a little flair. and i like that.
I love the pink garland with the 'We Did It' banner! This is soo cute and such a great idea!
Love Love Love the Blue" Just Married" traditional banner! It will be JUST PERFECT!
These are so very cute!
It's adorable! I would choose the Pink Just Married on the car ... It's the perfect shade of pink because it matches the colors of our wedding! And I love the car for a weekend ... Character so cute.
When all the pistons fire as they should, the driveshaft turns, and your car goes vroom. This complicated process requires precise ratios of air to fuel to be at top efficiency, so a clean air filter is essential. Dirty air filters can choke an engine, decreasing gas mileage, and cause fuel deposits to form from a * too rich * fuel mixture.
Great post! I’ll be sure to add a link to this article... Check out my site if you like...
The nitched one with the blue is also my favorite. It just really jumed out at me. Well done
