The search is on ...

... for Bride Friday Connecticut.

Out of loyalty to the home state I want to follow a bride from here.




If you are getting marrried between August and December of 2011, this might be the contest for you!

The idea is simple: I want to follow a CT bride from now until she and her partner tie the knot.

This is what I ask of you.

* Share your e-session and a photo of your ring.
* Be willing to talk to us every few weeks about where you are in your planning.
* Share the photos from your wedding after the big day, and tell us what you
would you have done differently, and what you're glad you didn't.

All photographers will be credited.

The point of this is that I don't just want to have a real weddings section on the blog. I want all of us to be able to relate to the brides - so that we can really celebrate their big day when it comes around.

So if you're interested, drop me a line at lili {@} lililutu.com and tell me a little bit about the vision for your wedding.



You'll certainly be in good company.

We already have Bride Friday Canada and Bride Friday Australia.

And as soon as CT is taken care of we'll be looking for brides in the rest of the United States and Europe!


Ladies, you have till Thursday, September 2nd@ 1159 EST to get your email to me.
I'll announce the winner on Friday, September 3rd.





Now speaking of winning ... it's that time of the week again!

First I'll announce the winner of last week's pedicure set courtesy of Candee Caldwell.
Sharon, I have emailed you.
Please get your address out to me so that I can send the package out.
If I do not hear back from you in 48 hours I will draw another name.

Now today's giveaway.
I really should say giveaways .. because we have not one, but two!




First off, Tina of Pixie Petal Creations has been kind enough to offer one lucky bride her choice of a shabby chic flower.

The winner will decide which color she wants when the draw is made.

Value is $25.










You can opt to have rhinestones instead of the pearl, and to have the flower with leaves or without them.







Second ... the Jessica.
The very first conversation I had with Jessica Coates was about her love of opals.
I don't have any real opals handy, but I do have some Svarovski crystals in that color.
So here it is ... the new addition to the Stackables collection.
Sterling silver and Swarovski crystals.

Value is $210.

























The rules remain the same: to be eligible you must be a bride.

You can enter to win the flower, the necklace, or both.

If you choose to enter to win both you will need to leave separate comments for each item.

Shipping is free, but if you are an international bride you will be responsible for any customs tax incurred at your end.

Be sure to say how you got here in your comment.

Contests close on Thursday, August 26th @ 1900 EST and winners will be announced on Friday, August 27th.

Good luck!
