Chuppah, Palm Trees and Flowers!!

We have a few shout-outs to some brides which happened while we were busy decorating Adam y Perla and Allyson and Jason's respective October weddings (photos coming soon - I promise!)...

First, a big shout-out to Renee who tied the knot this past September 30th at the Dreams Riviera Maya resort! Renee chose the popular Palm Trees design in orange with white lettering and shake me tags :). I think they turned out quite tropical!

Second, a big shout-out to Judith's daughter, Elizabeth, who tied the knot with her groom in Massachusetts - a first for us! We don't have a picture of the papel picado in the actual chuppah, but I can't wait to see one :). I think it turned out beautifully with the dogwood branches and flowers...

Third, a shout-out to Adrienne who tied the knot with her groom at Dreams Puerto Vallarta - at the same time, no less, that Allyson & Jason tied the knot on the beach up north! Adrienne chose the second version of the Kate and I love the colors - very festive!

Coming-up ... photos of both Adam & Perla's wedding and Allyson & Jason's wedding these past two weekends!

Become a Fan - Win Maracas - WINWIN!!

Well girls, here it is again - our annual "WINWIN" competition. Click here to see last year's winner!

Same rules as last year but, in case you weren't engaged yet and this is new to you, here's the scoop....

GRAND PRIZE: 20 of our simple, two-tone maracas! Like these pictured below (you do not have to choose one of these examples - we CAN design something based on your invites, your dreams, your doodlings)! (For this competition, you have your option of: palm trees, white flowers, lacy romance or kate).

*Note: the awesome red and white maraca photo in the middle is from Elizabeth Medina's website!
RUNNER-UP: Your choice of either 20 "shake me" tags OR fork place cards (if you are not a bride, you do have an option of winning an original hand-painted fan!)!!

HOW TO ENTER

1. You become one of our fans on our facebook page

2. You send me a message - either comment on facebook or to my email. Let me know that you would like to enter your name in our "WinWin" drawing

3. If you're already a fan of our facebook page, just send me a message (or leave a comment on the facebook page) and let me know you would like to enter the drawing

HOW TO ENTER MORE THAN ONCE!

We thought it would make things more fun if you could enter your name more than once - so, you could have the possibility of winning both the maracas AND the tags! Here's how to do that!

1. Every friend, relative or stranger you grab on the street who becomes one of our fans on facebook only needs to send us a comment via facebook or a message to my email and let me know the bride OR the name of the person they are entering for.

It's just that simple!

We will draw names and announce the winners January 15, 2011!
