From Kristen, With Love GIVEAWAY!

Hello everyone! I've got a great giveaway to share with you all today – isn't that exciting? When Kristen contacted me to do a giveaway with her, I was beyond thrilled. I avidly follower her blog, From Kristen, With Love. She has the greatest, most creative posts.You definitely wouldn't regret checking her out. If you're looking for a new blog to follow, she is your best bet!

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.

What could you do with them, you ask?

 Here are some examples!

 

See how cute? Use them one of these ways, or get creative and come up with a different use all together! Thankfully, I have some pretty creative readers and I know your brains are going a thousand miles an hour right now. I know mine is. 

How to Enter:

Fill out the Rafflecopter below and you'll be good to go.

Winner will be selected May 13.  

Win your dream gown from Ruche! (ARV: $500!)

OH. MY. I have a giveaway for you that is going to knock your little socks off! Remember a couple of days ago when I made a post about my new found love for Ruche? (If not, be sure to have a look!). Well, to honor their new spring collection, Ruche is having a fabulous giveaway where you can win a GRAND PRIZE OF $500 to use towards a Ruche wedding dress or any other Ruche purchase. This is your chance to get a knockout wedding gown for free (or practically nothing). And, you want to know what's better? Many of the wedding gowns found on Ruche are below $500. This isn't one of those deals where you win $500 towards a $6,000 dress and have to cough up the additional $5,500. Nope. You could get this beauty for free (it retails for $499):

Or this one (retails for $349) with money to spare:

Or, this one (retails for $349)

In fact, there are only 2 dresses in the entire collection that are over $500. That leaves enough money to buy shoes, jewelry, a veil – whatever!

So, if you need more convincing to enter (you would be absolutely crazy if that was the case), then let me tell you HOW you enter. Trust me, you're going to love it. All you have to do is get on Pinterest (fun!) and make a board featuring your "dream wedding" (more fun!). Pin pictures from any and all websites, but be sure to include at least 4 images from the Ruche website including a Ruche gown! (You may pin images from the Ruche site and from their bridal page here: http://shopruche.com/bridal/mediashare.html).

Sounds fun, right?


Here's a breakdown of the rules to make it easy to follow:

You've only got a few days to enter, so get to pinning. Good luck!

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.
