Do-It-Yourself Contest

Abby Larson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 13:00:38 +0000

We’ve done it before and it’s been WAY too long. Seriously too long. So, it’s time for another Wedding Do-It-Yourself Contest! Whether it’s a gorgeous invitation, a perfect favor or just about anything else that made (or is going to make) your wedding that much more unique…we want to see it!

This insanely fabulous DIY project was crafted by the OH (emphasizing the OH)-so-fabulous Ez of Creature Comforts…

For the complete instructions on these brilliant custom candy bars, check out Creature Comforts. I promise, it’s worth the trip…Ez’s blog is filled with adorable DIY projects (including free templates and instructions…love that), great craft finds, wardrobe inspirations and so so much more.

Okay, back to the contest! All we need is a series of how-to photographs sent as jpeg attachments, along with step-by-step instructions as to how to complete the project (in the body of the email). All images need to be at least 600 pixels across. If you don’t have step-by-step photographs, just send the end result! Email entries to abby@stylemepretty.com.

I am going to choose my favorites to go up on the blog and will choose a winner with the help of a panel of guest judges. All entries must be received by October 15th. We’ll announce the prize a little later in the week.

If you have questions, just leave a comment and I will make sure to answer!

Wedding Favor Giveaway by Beau-Coup

Abby Larson — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 20:38:59 +0000

I thought that I would take a minute to check in with everyone! Today is a great day for me…not only do we have a new baby girl, Audrey Elizabeth (born a week ago Monday), we are also celebrating our 3 year wedding anniversary! My husband, Tait, is incredible and I have fallen in love with him all over again since the birth of our little girl.

So, to celebrate life, love and everything weddings, we thought we would take today to announce our latest giveaway! Together with Beau-coup, the incredible favors company that we are featuring today, we are offering one lucky reader a $500 gift card to buy their favorite favors! All you have to do is answer a couple of questions that will help both SMP and Beau-coup understand what your bridal loves are…

1. In SMP’s honor…what would you like to see MORE of on SMP? Real Weddings, DIY projects, Inspiration Boards or more practical tools like printable checklists and such. Anything goes, we are just looking for good, constructive ideas!

2. And in Beau-coup’s honor…what will you buy with the $500 gift card to Beau-coup? We love to get a feel for what our readers are loving, so spend a minute browsing the Beau-coup site to see what you would put your money towards!

I love, love, love the products that Beau-coup is putting out there. They have a huge selection, and I have to say, a really beautiful array of favor ideas. Here are some of my favorite wedding favor picks…

And, the gift packaging ideas are awesome. LOVE the nests below…

Winnie, of Beau-Coup, will choose the winner over this next weekend so make sure to get your entries in by midnight (PST) on Friday. Both questions must be answered to qualify. We will announce the lucky bride or groom on Monday!
