by in Contests, Main on

I know y’all are just as in love with Pinterest as I am! Our First Ever Pinterest Contest was a ball, and we so adored seeing all of your pretty, Southern boards!

There’s only one partner that could have helped us top our first contest, and that, my friends, is none other than Lilly Pulitzer. Yep, we are teaming up with our Lilly loves to celebrate summer and all things Southern, and we couldn’t be more excited!!

We know y’all are Lilly-crazy like we are, so we’re thrilled to partner with them for a Pinterest contest! The Lilly and Southern Weddings teams will choose THREE winners (yahoo!), and those lucky belles will each win a dress of their choice from the Lilly Pulitzer Summer 2012 Collection!

All of the instructions are in the graphic above, but leave us a comment below if you have any questions! Most importantly, be sure to get your entries in before May 25!

Good luck, and happy pinning!!

P.S. You can see Lilly’s post on this exciting adventure here, and view the complete rules here!

    Sounds great! o can we only have 6 images on there? Or is that the minimum we need?

      Hi Ashley! You can definitely have more than 6 images, that’s just the minimum you need! Happy pinning!

    This contest looks fabulous! I was just wondering if we can pin things related to things like a rehearsal dinner or a bridal shower too, or if we should stick to just the actual wedding and reception. Great idea to pair up with Lilly!

      Hi Emily! That sounds fine, just make sure that the overall look stays cohesive!

Southern Weddings Pinterest Contest: Winner!

by in Contests, Main on

Ladies, y’all got style! When we announced our First Ever Pinterest Contest a few weeks ago, we we thrilled to see the huge response! It was extremely difficult narrowing down the entries to three lucky ladies, but we managed to do it!

Justine’s Country Lush board was full of some rustic but feminine details. Alexandra’s Black Tie with Blue board was sophisticated and elegant and Lisa’s Peaches board was full of the sweet Georgia fruit we love so much. We adore all of our finalists for different reasons, but in the end, y’all went crazy for Lisa’s Peaches board!

Congratulations, Lisa, for winning our first ever Pinterest contest!

Lisa will win a clutch from our friend McKay at Oatmeal Lace Design! When we took a look at the flower details and sweet textures on Lisa’s board, we knew that an Oatmeal Lace clutch would go splendidly with her vision, and we can’t wait for her to choose one!

Thanks to all who participated in our contest, and especially to our friends at Ties.com and Sweet and Saucy Supply for offering their fab products to our finalists!

Southern Weddings First Ever Pinterest Contest!

by in Contests, Main on

Just like y’all, our office is pretty much constantly pin, pin, pinning. You might say we’re a bit addicted, but with all the prettiness that ensues, who would ever want to be cured? I’ve been rounding up delightful desserts, Lara’s got a whole board devoted to gorgeous blooms, Whitney’s been collecting some pretty serious bling, Nicole (a paper lover like me!) has curated some amazing stationery sweetness, Sierra’s found a bow tie for every groom, and Marissa has an enviable collection of monograms going. And that’s just in our personal accounts!! There’s more Southern goodness on the Big Momma SW account, too.

Anyway, we thought it was high-time to involve y’all in the fun, too, which is how the idea for our first ever Pinterest contest came about! We’re challenging you to design a board based on your dream Southern wedding. Here are all the details:

Save


Pin it

To enter, create a new board, title it “My Dream Southern Wedding,” and add a little description of your aesthetic at the top. Make sure your board contains each of the 12 pins listed above, in no particular order. In each pin’s caption, include the number and name the image corresponds to for our contest, as well as the #wedding hashtag. When your board is perfect, share it with us by posting a comment with a link to your board on the original contest announcement pin, which will be found on our “Pinterest Contests” board.

A few more nitty gritty details:
— You must follow @iloveswmag on Pinterest to enter.
— Please only pin one image per number.
— Only one board (entry) per person.
— SIX of your twelve pins must be pinned from the Southern Weddings site (feel free to repin from our account to find pins that are eligible!).
— Winner(s) will be based on creativity, cohesiveness, and Southern style.
— This contest will run through the end of the month (March 2012), and the winner will be announced shortly thereafter!

We can’t wait to see your dream weddings!

    Yay for pinterest!!!! What’s the prize?

    • avatar Emily reply

      Hi Emily! The prize for this contest is really neat! We’re going to pick an item from the winner’s Pinterest board (or an item that coordinates with the winner’s board), and that will be their prize!

    • avatar Lexi reply

      Helllo! When will you be announcing the winners? I’m beyond excited!

  2. avatar Jennifer reply

    I’m so excited about this contest! I heard about it through my photographer, check them out! http://www.elizabethryanblog.com/

    I have a question: can the board only contain 12 pins? What if I want to pin a picture of my venue, or colors, or something else to help set the mood/tone (but it’s not one of the 12 you’re looking for)?

    • avatar Emily reply

      Hi Jennifer! So glad you’re excited about the contest! This time, we’re asking you to stick with just the 12 pins. Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

  3. avatar Jessica McCormick reply

    I know I havent followed the instructions by labeling the pins with the corresponding number entries on the list (I’m about to leave for a meeting! Work is interrupting my life hahaha) but I couldnt help but get excited bc my first ever board on Pinterest in all about my DREAM SOUTHERN wedding! It’s even entitled “Southern State of Mind” I am positive each of those categories is pinned more than once! Feel free to check it out, it is def. my favorite! LOVE YOU Southern Weddings Mag!!! (lots of my pins=from ya’ll!)
