If I didn’t really believe each bride was truly unique before this contest, after reading all your wonderfully original and ultra-personal plans for your big day, there’s no longer any doubt! From our classic and relaxed ladies to our vintage and modern gals (and all you lovely hybrids in between), I had so much fun reading about how you’re going to make your weddings distinctly your own. And now, without further ado, I’m pleased to announce the blushing brides who embody the classic, relaxed, vintage and modern in all of us! Of course, this little experiment would not have been possible without the support of our fabulous vendors: Twisted Crystals, Stella & Dot, Bel Canto Designs, MGMart, Julianne Smith, evie s. and La Plates!

The Classic Bride: Like Sex and the City’s Charlotte York, Nicole R. is all about tradition, timelessness and simple elegance. Opting for anything monogrammed, engraved or sophisticatedly understated, and a fan of classic, minimal jewelry (think diamond studs and her grandmother’s pearl necklace), Nicole is the type of bride who has dreamed about marrying her Prince Charming since she was a little girl. (Sigh!)
The Relaxed Bride: Hoping to marry her honey where the couple first met at Cosi’s sandwich shop in NYC, Klau is, without question, a relaxed, low-key and no fuss girl. This self-described “chilled-out bride” and her fiancé plan on inviting only fifteen or twenty of their closest friends and are looking forward to a fun, stress-free affair, which is especially fitting considering the groom proposed to his bride with a Mickey Mouse ring at a local Burger King!
The Vintage Bride: Dramatic halls, gold chandeliers, marble floors and romantic balconies come together as the design inspiration for the lovely Kayla’s black-tie wedding. With her elegant champagne, bronze and ivory color palate, this vintage bride evokes the sophistication, romance and grandeur of times past.
The Modern Bride: Weddings don’t come more modern (or fun!) than Bowie Bride’s offbeat LA bash! A mixed wedding party (yes, men serving as bridesmaids and ladies standing up with the groomsmen), a civil ceremony officiated by a judge and city buses rather than limousines are only a few of the things that make this non-traditional affair super fun and totally mod.
