Apparently there are quite a few of you - between this blog, facebook and twitter - that would love to get your hands on a copy of the newest edition of Brides Michigan Magazine!  Since it's not even out on stands right now - and these copies are courtesy of my friends at Brides Magazine and Brides.com I can see why!  

I'm going to give away a handful of copies today, and I'll probably do this again soon (so check back here)!!  In the meantime, most of the copies will be handed out to brides who come and visit us at the studio.  If you'd like to schedule a consultation for your wedding, just drop me a note.  I'd love to hear from you!

 And the winners are:

#9: Kelly    #18: Jackie S

#3: Anna Taylor #8: Ashley

#2: Allison Ray #12: Alicia

Ladies, I have your email addresses, and I'll shoot you a note.  You'll just need to reply to give me your address so I can get these mailed out!

Thanks so much!

My friends at Brides Magazine, and Brides.com sent me a bunch of copies of their newest edition of Brides Michigan Magazine!  It's not even available in stores yet, but I'm going to give away a bunch of copies :)  

So, here's the deal:  If you're a bride-to-be, or if you know a bride-to-be, and you'd like to get your hands on a copy of this magazine, all you have to do is post a comment on this blog post (or facebook post if you're reading it there).  

We'll randomly select a handful of you, and we'll send you a copy of the magazine!  That's it - pretty simple right!  It's totally free - no strings attached :)  

[be sure to include your email address when you post your comment.  your email is never shared, and won't be published, but it's the only way we'll be able to contact you to let you know you won - and get your address!]

Edit to add: I'm going to keep accepting comments on this until Friday - then I'll randomly draw people to get a free copy!  I'll contact the winners by email, and post the results here - so be sure to check back tomorrow!

There's still time!  I'm pretty excited about being a part of this, and although today is the deadline, there's still time to submit your nominations for an incredible wedding giveaway!  

Here's just an overview.  For all the details, head over to Lindsey's blog.  

Lindsey Nartker Designs is offering the services of a wedding day coordinator to one deserving couple.  Wedding day coordination clients have the opportunity to work closely with a professional wedding coordinator.  During three consultations, we’ll review every element that has been planned, ensure all details are in order and offer guidance on all wedding related topics.  We work together to create a detailed itinerary for the week leading up to the wedding and will be onsite throughout the entire event to help execute the details.  We’ll be there to assist with decor set-up, ensure the overall flow of the event is seamless and handle any bridal party needs that may arise.  We’ll also have our extensive emergency kit on hand and available to everyone.

New Creations by Kate, a Birmingham based florist, is including a beautiful hand tied bridal bouquet and coordinating groom’s boutonniere to our winner.  You’ll be able to work directly with Kate to design a unique, personalized bouquet that is a true reflection of your event.

Custom Paper Works is offering custom design work for our winning couple!  Kate will work with you to design custom ceremony programs, escort cards, and table numbers.

Jason Aten Photography is including in our giveaway a Signature Wedding Commission, including full coverage of your event, a disc of your images, and engagement session, online proofing and a credit towards one of their Limited Edition Albums (a $5000 value).  (woohoo, that's me!)

Affordable Elegance Chair Covers and Linen will be providing chair covers and table linen to our winner!  The winning couple will be able to sit through a design meeting with AECC and pick out their choice of guest table linen and chair covers, up to 150 guests.  AECC has a large selection of colors and styles to choose from!

Last weekend, we had so much fun meeting so many incredible brides at the Bridal World 2010 show!  Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi - it was great hearing about the amazing weddings you're all planning this year.  We held a contest to give away a free engagement session (or a free iPod touch if you book with us since you get the engagement session with any wedding collection), and as promised - we're announcing the winners right here!

We decided that instead of just randomly drawing one winner - we're giving away 5 free session!  If you're name is listed below, you'll receive an email from us as well to set up your free engagement session.

And the winners are.......

1. Sheila Poole 

2. Stephanie Riedinger

3. Matthias Bell

4. Tamara Yantovsky

Congrats to all the winners (brides and a groom!!)  Can't wait to schedule your session soon!  For everyone else, check your email too for a very special offer we're extending to all of our new friends :)
