I avidly follower her blog, From Kristen, With Love. She has the greatest, most creative posts.You definitely wouldn't regret checking her out.

On to the giveaway! Kristen just opened up her Etsy shop (congrats, girl!), and is kind enough to give away an item for you guys to win. 

Here's what you can win:

These hand painted wooden signs read "Mr." & "Mrs."... the perfect addition to your wedding decor and/or used as a photo prop. Let the world know you're officially a Mrs. by using this statement prop in your wedding photos. Hang it on the back of your chair at your reception to add a personal touch. After the wedding, you can feature the signs in your home to remind you of your special day each and every time you look at them.

The signs are painted white & measure 1 foot by 6 inches and come ready to hang or hold with attached twine.

Polka Dots + a GIVEAWAY!

I've got two things to show to you today – a fabulous collection of polka dot weddings, and a polka dot bag giveaway from Thirty One!

If that's not hard to resist, I don't know what is. Polka dots are just so effortlessly cute. They're fun, playful and add a touch of sweetness to an outdoor spring/summer wedding. Plus, you can pretty much rock them in any color. Go bold with bright colors, or stick to white on white for a more traditional, subtle look. The choice is yours. When thrown in here and there, polka dots are such a fresh, festive idea – especially when combined with other fun prints. Stationery, ties, and even your wedding gown will look fabulous in polka dots!

Since we're on the subject of polka dots, it would only be fitting to have a giveaway to go along with it! So here you have it.

Facebook Giveaway Round 1

OK, as many of you know, I promised a few rounds of giveaways if you guys helped me get 100 followers on Facebook. So here's round one!

So what do you have to do to win? Well, I've decided to do things a little differently than most giveaways out there. All you have to do is:


1.Make sure you are a Facebook follower. This giveaway is for Facebook followers ONLY. If you aren't already, please go to my Facebook, and "like" me HERE (or with the button on the right bar). 


2. Guess the number of buttons in this jar! Head to my Facebook and post your guess on my wall (guesses made here will not count). Hint: There are between 300 and 800 buttons.

The winner will be picked on Sat, March 17, based on the closest guess without going over. You have until then to get your guess in. Then I will make the announcement and send the winner an email. International guesses welcome :) Good luck!

100 Facebook Likes = One Awesome Giveaway

Hello everyone! I hope the beginning of your week has been going well and not horribly slow. Here in Indiana it's almost 60 degrees, which is a nice change, so I'm feeling in good spirits. And, I'm planning a trip to the Smoky Mountains next Wednesday for my fiance and I to celebrate one year of being engaged – so that's keeping me chipper too! If you remember, that's where he proposed at. Needless to say, it will be a fantastic little get away for both of us.

Unfortunately, I've been incredibly busy at work (I write copy for an advertising agency – if I've never mentioned that before) so I haven't been able to give the time and attention to my blog that I would like. Booo. But not to worry – I still read all of your blogs regularly and appreciate everyone that still takes the time to come check mine out to.

That being said, I realized that I haven't had a giveaway in quite a while. That just won't do! And, I'm so close to having 100 followers on my Facebook page. So I'm proposing this:

 Help me get 100 followers on Facebook and I'll have a super awesome giveaway

And, it will be a fun giveaway for only Facebook friends – with MULTIPLE WINNERS. That means more chances to win. And I won't make you jump through hoops to sign up. Seriously, I'm only like 6 people away. If you don't already follow me on Facebook, click the button on the side or click here:

Thank you all! I hope I get the followers soon so I can start this giveaway. It's going to be a blast. Much love!

GIVEAWAY! Winter Ring Holder

Can you believe that we're less than a week away from Christmas? I certainly can't. Every year it seems to just sneak up on me without any warning. I'm not really complaining because Christmas is the best time of year. Everything about it makes me happy.

To celebrate my favorite holiday, I've got another fantastic giveaway from White Tulip Boutique. If you don't remember, Lisa from White Tulip provided the adorable rustic canoe ring holder for a giveaway in November (here!). Her work is absolutely stunning. Her shop is full of beautiful jewelry, ring holders and wedding accessories. If you're getting married or know someone who is, I'd strongly urge you to check out her shop. Don't you just love supporting artists who make such lovely handmade goodies?



Today, I have another special item from White Tulip Boutique that you can WIN. It's a gorgeous winter berry ring bearer nest. I am absolutely IN LOVE with this piece. I mean, just look at it. If you're a winter bride, or have a friend that is, this would make the perfect gift.

This adorable little beauty is made of twigs and moss and is adorned with faux winter berries, snow and leaves. And with a pretty little white ribbon to keep your rings safe, you've got the perfect ring holder.

GIVEAWAY: Rustic Ring Pillow

It's that time again, Blushing Bride readers! Time for another fabulous GIVEAWAY! Aren't you excited?

This time, Lisa from White Tulip Boutique has been kind enough to offer one of her beautiful, handmade creations for you to win. Lisa, the owner of White Tulip Boutique, offers a wide montage of beautiful items for sale in her Etsy shop. She has a variety of interests, and her collection of elegant items certainly reflects that. Be sure to check out all the items in her shop. There's so many pretty things to look at, and I'm sure you'll find something that you love.

Because rustic weddings have been all the rage in bridal magazines and blogs for the last couple of years (and who doesn't LOVE a rustic wedding?), Lisa is giving you all a chance to win this beautiful, rustic ring bearer pillow.

How stinking cute is that? This handmade ring canoe is made out of birch wood, and would be absolutely perfect at a rustic wedding. It's especially perfect if you're looking for something a little more special than the traditional, plain pillow. It's definitely a statement piece that your guests will love (how could they not?). And, after the wedding, just clip off the ribbons, and keep this darling canoe as a keepsake from your wedding day.

I absolutely think I am in love. To be completely honest, I want this little guy pretty badly. You're lucky that I love you all so much, or I might just snag this up for myself! haha.

Here's a few more pictures:
