It looks like the voting was more of an arms race as to who has more friends (which is fine, as it brings SMP to people who might not have known about us) BUT, as it turns out, the winner is one of my own personal favorites! So, I can’t really complain!

This board was featured on Day 2 and brings together those amazingly rich purple hues into a style that is not only chic and oh-so-right-now, it’s also incredibly timeless in it’s beauty.

Thank you so much to EVERYONE that entered! We are keeping all of the boards in our Color Palettes category so that your designs will serve as inspirations to brides for years to come!

PS – We are announcing the winner in the ABCD Designs contest from last week coming up next!

Go ahead and cast your vote for your favorite board. This vote will be totally reader generated on the honor code, so I ask that you please be really honest in voting for only one board. The winner will receive a $300 gift certificate to the store of their choice! Voting will end this upcoming Thursday, November 13th and we’ll announce the winner on Friday!

I wanted to share with you this ADORABLE board that was crafted by Carrie Sellman, an incredible cake designer that we love here at SMP.

Inspired by that INSANELY gorgeous black and white cake that Carrie designed for Bride and Bloom magazine, this board is total perfection.  Thanks so much, Carrie, for sending such an inspiring look! Check out Carrie’s site and blog for GOBS of inspiration!
