InFrame Bride Magazine | Creative Bride Contest

We here at A Day in May, Event Planning & Design are thrilled to be a judge for InFrame Bride Magazine's "She's Got It! Most Creative Bride Contest."



InFrame Bride Magazine is looking for the most creative wedding ideas. The rules are simple: you submit creative wedding ideas, encourage your family and friends to vote for your entry in the first round, and in the second round the judges (that's us!) select the best. There are virtually no limitations on the types of ideas that can be submitted—ideas may relate to favors, locations, honeymoons, themes, bridesmaid or groomsmen gifts, food or anything else you can come up with. The ideas simply have to somehow relate to a wedding.

There will be 3 contest winners... Photo Shoot: Abby Rose Photo & chance to be on the next cover of InFrame Bride; Weekend getaway: Grand Traverse Resort & Spa; Makeover: Design 1 Salon & Spa

Be sure to visit the contest site for more details and to submit your creative wedding ideas! Good luck!!

Sage and Style

Earlier this year we blogged about two of our favorite stylists and their fantastic sense of all things glamorous. This morning I received an email from Taryn announcing the launch of her new site Sage and Style. Be sure to check it daily for Taryn's expert advice- if you've always wanted a stylist, now's your chance!
