So little old me decided to submit my match box idea into a "Do-It-Yourself" Wedding contest. I said what the heck it won't hurt right? And TA-DAAAA! I'm a finalist! Out of 160 amazing entries, they picked mine!! I'm so happy and excited and I can't believe it. The winner gets $500 buckeroos cash! So, please please please VOTE FOR MY MATCHBOXES!!

Marrying MareWedding planning by a chic and resourceful bride!

We do! We do! We don't know why but as we leave a nice restaurant, Will and I always grab some matches as a souvenier. Our collection is vast and very useful too! So that got me thinking, how cute would it be to have some for our wedding? My creative wheels started turning, one thing led to another and VOILA! We have personalized wedding matchboxes! We'll probably put them in a little bowl by the bar or maybe at the tables. Who knows, but we're happy with the turnout :)

I have been meaning to update everyone on the awesome (and free) wedding shows I have been invited to throughout the planning process. They are so much fun! They are very swanky and I dont know if it's because I live in NYC or what, but I'm talking creme de la creme, hob nobbing with wedding industry celebrities such as Sylvia Weinstock, Colin Cowie, etc! Tons of fancy champagne bubbly flowing left and right, white glove service. I'm talking, fancy smancy! I love it! They always give away awesome goody bags at the end of the night worth hundreds. Seriously. So. Much. Fun!
Well, I got my invite of the week to the "Wedding Salon" show. I invite any and all of my readers to check it out! Normally tickets are $50 but if you use the code below, it will be free. I truely believe a bride should never have to pay for these events (even though they try to charge you)! Go ahead ladies, let yourselves be pampered!
