Blogaversary Giveaway Winners

by in Contests on

I’ve always pushed for a week long celebration of my birth, but it always gets paired down to a single day. Thank goodness that we celebrate Southern Weddings Magazine’s birth week. We celebrated our Second Blogaversary in style with a week of fantastic giveaways. All birth weeks must come to an end (until next year) but I wanted to squeeze one more day of Blogaversary excitement in to announce the winners of all of our many contests:

We asked readers to send us their favorite memories of their significant other for a chance to win a 12 month subscription to Wedding Window to make their very own wedding website.

Congratulations to Amanda H and Sydney D!

One of my favorite memories of my dear and I was right after he proposed–we were so excited! Most people would break open a bottle of champagne, or spend a night on the town, but the first thing that we wanted to do was to go get celebratory ice cream cones. We go back there all the time, not only because the ice cream is delicious, but because we always like to reminisce about our wonderful, and very “us,” engagement celebration.

I am a girl who truly enjoys anything special. I am easily amused, lucky for my sweetie. My sophomore year of college (we had just started dating), the flu attacked me. When I get sick, I really get sick. I did not look like hot stuff- skin was broken out, my hair was a mess, my nose was dry and red and I was totally rockin’ the sweats. Lucas (previously noted as ‘sweetie’), asked if we could spend some time together but I let him know that I was a walking viral plague and that he probably did not want to see me. He played it cool and said we would hang out soon. Well, not a hour later I hear the doorbell ring. I hesitantly went to the door, and who do I see? You guessed it; ‘sweetie’. Insecure as I was, I found strength to open the door and let him see my zombie(ish) features. He answered, “Hello beautiful.” That was all it took and I was ready to say “I do!” He had my favorite smoothie in one hand and a single rose and ‘The Little Mermaid” (my FAVE movie of all time) in the other. I will NEVER forget how special and beautiful he made me feel when I had previously felt like death. From that moment on, I knew that he was a keeper!

Chaviano Bridal Couture has some of the best veils around! Traci has been selected as the winner of a custom veil from Annette at Chaviano Bridal Couture:

What a wonderful giveaway! My gown is ivory satin with a wonderful vintage-y art-deco lace inset, and I’d love just the right veil to complement it. In my mind’s eye I see a float of ivory net, wafting to my fingertips, with gorgeous lace accents that evoke that 1930’s Hollywood glamour feel. It should complement the dress and the vintage jewelry, yet have an elegant and unique personality of its own… think Rita Hayworth glamour coupled with Katherine Hepburn sass. :-)

It looks like the Southern Weddings editors aren’t the only ones obsessed with Mika78! Hannah S. will get 50 custom thank you cards. She chose the Botanicals design from Mika 78 as her very favorite.

________________________________________________________________________________________

First on the website and first in my heart, my favorite design is Botanicals. I love the simple yet elegant feel of the plain white with just a peek of color peeking over the corners. I also love the way they are held together with the Victorian style monogram print in the center. It is the perfect blend of antique and modern.

Did you register for china? We posed this question for the chance to win a gorgeous classic crystal vase from Wedgwood China. Congratulations to Randi E., who was selected as the winner (and has, coincidentally, registered for china):

We registered for china so that we could have nice dishes to use for sunday dinners, holidays and special occasions. We registered at Macy’s for the Wedgewood “Golden Bird” collection. I can’t wait to start getting some of the pieces in!!

I am a humongous chocolate fan, so I am super excited to announce that June W. will get 25 favor boxes from Delysia Chocolatier (that’s 50 pieces of chocolate) for her special day. Lucky, lucky. Plus, she provided tips on the correct way savor chocolates:

________________________________________________________________________________________

Having worked in a gourmet chocolate shop, I think it would be a great addition to my wedding! Our date is November 21, 2010, and I think I would be a great recipient bc I truly know HOW to appreciate chocolate. Did you know you’re never supposed to chew it!? Press it between the back of your tongue and the roof of your mouth and let it melt. Enjoy!

April 9, 2010 | June W

________________________________________________________________________________________

In addition, Delysia Chocolatier has a special offer for Southern Weddings readers! Readers will get a complimentary 9-piece signature collection if they place an order over $400 by April 19th. This is perfect for the newly weds to enjoy in their room with a glass of champagne. If you would like to take part in this special offer, please email Nicole at [email protected].

Cufflinks 2 Wear offers amazing cufflinks to add that little something to the groom’s attire. We asked readers to tell us why their man is the best. Congratulations to Rachel L. and her yo-yo pro groom. They will get 5 pairs of cufflinks for all the groomsmen (who hopefully can also yo-yo like pros).

________________________________________________________________________________________

My groom is the best because:
1) he buys me a bottle of wine and draws me a bath when I have a bad day
2) he moved all the way to Georgia to support me in school
3) he can yo-yo like a pro
4) he has the most hilarious sense of humor I’ve ever seen!

There’s something about Joshua Caine’s soft and subdued images that are spot-on perfect for Dominique + Taylor’s California shindig.  The eclectic, mix-and-match details from the couple’s reception (the bridesmaids’ coordinated Betsey Johnson dresses and mismatched place settings) were a great way for the newlyweds to sprinkle a little personality into their celebration.  The too-cute two-tiered cake (complete with owl toppers) was a joint work of love from the mothers (of the bride + groom, that is.)  And yes, folks: the 1952 Chevy was, in fact, what Dominique + Taylor used as their guest “book.”  I want that for my own wedding!  Well, maybe not a ’52 Chevy, but something equally unique and memorable.  I’m guessing you’re probably hope to see more from this West Coast affair.  (Don’t worry: we do, too!)

Describe your wedding flowers: Our flowers were very simple and understated, but added so much. Because of all the other details on our tables and the natural decor that our venue offered, we wanted very simple flowers that fit within our theme. Lori Boe, who did the flowers, completely read my mind. Everything she created was as if I had done it myself. We had collected some containers through flea markets, swap meets and garage sales. I gave them to Lori and she filled them with dalias, garden roses, feathers and all sorts of magical things. My bouquet was a mixture of soft whites. She filled it with garden roses and gardenias. The bridesmaids honored my grandmother by carrying a single stem of her favorite flower, the gardenia.
Describe your wedding cake: Our cake was made by my mom. It was made from an amazing, very exclusive recipe called, “funfetti!”  She decorated it with lace and our monogram. It was only a little cake for display so we would have something to cut. For the groom’s cake, my mom made tiny felt bride and groom owls wearing a birdcage veil and suspenders that sat on the top of the cake.
What was the biggest challenge you had to overcome while planning your wedding? There were definitely a few obstacles to overcome! The biggest challenge was trying to move out table settings for 350 people an hour and a half from where we live! We really had to coordinate getting everything out that far.
What’s next for you as a couple?  What are you looking forward to in the future?  Any and everything. Our plan is to have no plans, because then we are always ready for whatever opportunity presents itself.

Less than a week left to enter the Brion Hopkins giveaway for a chance to win a wedding photography package! You don’t want to miss this one.

We’re back! And we have photos!  Please excuse the poor quality, as these are from Lara’s iPhone, but we couldn’t wait to give you a glimpse into our whirlwind weekend. 

P.S. Here’s one more from Fred Egan, one of the weekend’s fabulous photographers.

Clockwise from top left: The massive stack of packages that greeted us upon arrival at WaterColor (and that was only some of them.  Seriously.); the ladies sampling the samples from Sweet Pea and Fawn; Kacey (in Nicole Miller) and Ben at the dock and at dinner; Jory shooting Lauren and Dan.

A thousand thanks to the many fabulous vendors who made our shoot complete!  We tried our best not to miss anyone!  (But please let us know if we did…!)  Stay tuned for more images…
