			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s time to announce the DIY contest winner! I can&#8217;t believe how gorgeous the projects that we featured were&#8230;filled with charm, personality and an amazing attention to detail. Since I couldn&#8217;t possibly choose a winner all by myself, I&#8217;ve asked the amazingly talented Grace Bonney at <a href="http://www.designspongeonline.com/" target="_blank">Design*Sponge</a> and the forever chic Jennifer Sbranti of <a href="http://www.hostessblog.com/" target="_blank">Hostess with the Mostess Blog</a> to send their top picks! Together, we&#8217;ve chosen the best project&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>First, Grace&#8217;s Top Picks..</strong>.</p>
<p>1. The absolutely adorable <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/10/31/diy-project-9/" target="_blank">Stiched Programs</a><br />
2. The simple, but chic <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/10/31/diy-project-birds-nest-favors/" target="_blank">Birds Nest Favors</a><br />
3. The fabulous <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/10/27/diy-project-2/" target="_blank">Hot Cocoa &amp; Marshmallows</a></p>
<p><strong>And Jennifer&#8217;s Picks&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>1. the scrumptious <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/10/27/diy-project-2/" target="_blank">Hot Cocoa and Marshmallows</a><br />
2. <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/10/28/diy-project-custom-centerpieces/" target="_blank">Custom Centerpieces</a> for their originality and resourcefulness <br />
3. <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/10/31/diy-project-gumball-favors/" target="_blank">Gumball Favors</a>, because they&#8217;re so cute and simple to do!</p>
<p><strong>And of course, My Top Picks!</strong></p>
<p>1. The amazingly cute <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/10/27/diy-project-2/" target="_blank">Hot Cocoa and Marshmallows<br />
</a>2. <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/10/27/diy-week-project-2/" target="_blank">Love Story Books</a> because they are just so sweet<br />
3. <a href="http://www.stylemepretty.com/2008/10/31/diy-project-9/" target="_blank">Stiched Programs</a> as they embody what a DIY project should be</p>
<p>SO&#8230;The winner is, with the most votes from the three of us combined, the Hot Cocoa and Marshmallow bags!</p>
<p><img src="http://cf.stylemepretty.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/diy-kathleen.jpg" alt="DIY Hot Cocoa bags" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>I have to admit, I&#8217;ve known for a few hours who the winner was, and because I was so in love with all of her projects, I&#8217;ve asked her to be a contributing DIY editor on Style Me Pretty!!</p>
<p>Kathleen, the oh-so-creative girl behind the Cocoa and Marshmallows, the Custom Matchbooks and the Sparkler bundles, will be sending us fun DIY projects every few weeks, starting next month. Plus, we&#8217;ll also get a sneak peak of her own recent wedding&#8230;and it&#8217;s SO worth the wait.</p>
<p>Thanks so much to everyone who entered! Your projects will live on Style Me Pretty and will inspire brides for years to come to incorporate their own DIY projects into their wedding style! If your project didn&#8217;t make it up, I am going to hold on to them for our next contest.</p>

<p>She has complete instructions on <a href="http://www.hostesswiththemostess.com/themes/bridal_showers/something_blue/tabletop">how</a> to create this adorable look, as well, which is  so great. I loooooove that Jennifer (the writer) uses such a broad range of items to build this tablescape&#8230;from paper plates to flutes of champagne. AND she includes links where you can buy everything. Ummm, does it get any easier???? An added touch to the whole event&#8230;call your local bakery and see if they can make a tiffany cake (or mini cakes), using blue fondant icing and a white fondant ribbon. If the fondant is too pricey, ask them to use a tiffany blue icing, then place a white ribbon around it yourself!</p>
