Inspire Me Pretty Georgia Extended!

A. Blaire — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 14:00:48 +0000

Happy Monday lovelies! We on the east coast had a lovely guest named Miss Irene visit over the weekend, and many of us here at team SMP are powerless or dealing with the mess she left. Let’s just say Irene was not a good house guest. However, it does allow those of you who haven’t entered the Inspire Me Pretty Georgia contest another day to enter! Just head on over to our Inspiration Board Builder, tag your pretty Georgia-inspired board with Inspire Me Pretty GEORGIA, and we’ll announce a winner tomorrow! xoxo, A. Blaire

Inspiration to Reality Winner!

Elaine — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:00:36 +0000

We’ve had tons of beautiful winter-white inspired eye-candy for you today, but we’re going to mix things up a bit because it’s time to announce our winner from Monday’s Inspiration to Reality Challenge and this board is nothing short of extraordinary. Featuring a stunning Sarah Seven dress, the winner of this challenge is Helena with this utterly romantic, pomegranate-red inspiration board.

Board Credits Include: Dress by: Sarah Seven / Jamee Photography / Ritzy Bee / Lisa Lefkowitz / Custom Event Group / Constance Zahn / Layla Grayce

All you Style Circle members made it incredibly difficult for our vendors to choose… so many stunning, unique boards. Boards so full of gorgeousness that it made me want to get married all over again (to the same guy of course).

The fabulous team of vendors behind this shoot will be Cynthia Martyn Events Inc., Sash & Bustle Boutique, Photography and Video by Mimmo+Naz, Stationery by Bella Invites, Cake by Cake Opera Co., and Fuscia Designs doing florals… and we’re tickled pink to see what they come up with.

Inspiration Board Weekend Challenge!

Abby Larson — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:00:25 +0000

We have an INSANELY fun challenge for you today! Crazy fun, really. We’re teaming up with Justin and Mary Marantz, Beth of The White Dress by the Shore, Yumiko of Hana Floral Design and Sarah True of True & Wesson to do a photoshoot built just for SMP readers. Remember the Laundry Shoot that the crew did…well we loved it so much that we’ve decided to collaborate on a new shoot entirely for Style Me Pretty!

Here is the fun part (if that wasn’t great enough)…the design and concept will be inspired by one of YOUR inspiration boards. Yep, we’re challenging you guys to an inspiration board design-off, where the winner will actually see their work come to life!

So here’s the deal. Head on over to the Style Circle and build a board around the theme of your choice. It can be shabby chic, modern, eclectic, whatever. Anything that you love. Just make sure to title your board PHOTOSHOOT INSPIRATION. Myself and the team mentioned above will choose our very favorite board on Monday…and will literally bring it to life in a photoshoot the following week. Ummmmm, does it get any better than this??

If you don’t have a Style Circle account, now’s the time! You must be a Style Circle member to create inspiration boards.

So…let the games begin! Lots and lots of creativity spirit sprinkles for all of you!

There is something so sophisticated about this next board. I love the vibrancy of the blues, the beauty of the different hues paired next to each other, the modern and totally chic invitation. It’s simply awesome!
