Hmmm … it’s been several weeks since I’ve given out a copy of The DIY Bride: 40 Fun Projects For Your Ultimate One-Of-A-Kind Wedding, hasn’t it? Since I have a few left in my stash and I need to make room for all of the baby stuff rolling in, I’m thinking it’s the perfect time for a contest!

This one is going to put your creativity to the test. Think of it as a warm-up for all of the crafty, creative thinking you’ll be doing in preparation for your wedding.

The Scoop:

Since the economy and wedding budgets are very much in focus right now, I’m asking that anyone who wishes to have a chance to win a copy of the book submit an inspiration board with the theme of The Under $500 Bridal Ensemble. Each person who submits a board that fits the theme will be entered in the running to receive a copy of the book.

How To Enter:

Submit an inspiration board that contains the following:

• bridal gown
• veil/headpiece/tiara/hair accessories
• shoes
• jewelry/other accessories

When combined, the total cost of all of the pieces of the ensemble must be less than $500. All pieces must be new (no vintage, second hand, clearance/sales, or consignment). Entries must include links to the products and list the prices to qualify. Please send to info AT diybride DOT com.

Oh! Please send entries in .gif, .jpg, .png, or .tiff format. Gracias!

Deadline:

Submissions must be in by the end of day on November 17th. Winner will be chosen via a random drawing on November 21st.

EDIT: Here’s a quickie example I threw together to give you an idea of what I’m looking for.

**I ask that only brides-to-be (and grooms, too) enter the contest, please. Since they’re the ones in the most need of the info & inspiration in the book, I strongly feel they’re the ones who should have the opportunity to win a copy. Thanks for your understanding!**
