So far, I’ve won several contests within the past year.
I’ve won the whole Ken Paves hair care line, a custom made necklace by Jennifer Meyer (Toby Maguire’s wife), a $100 gift card to David’s Bridal…and recently I just won 2 contests.
IF YOU’RE A BRIDESMAID (THIS MEANS YOU, BETH ANNE AND ARLENE) THEN STOP READING THIS POST!
I MEAN IT! NOT EVEN A PEAK OR YOU DON’T GET SQUAT!
Ok. Now then…the other day I was notified by Best Wedding Sites that I won 6 pairs of custom made flip flops with Swarovski crystals for my bridesmaids from Weddings are Fun! They’re going to be a black flip flop with David’s Bridal Watermelon straps, with the crystals on top. I’m planning on getting my girls hot pink robes to wear when we all get ready for the big day, and the shoes will go perfectly! I actually have 8 bridesmaids though, so I did have to buy 2 more pairs (which were a little pricey at 35 bucks a pop) but it was totally worth it. They’re going to help make for adorable pictures pre-wedding AND they can use them at the reception when their feet are dying from heels!
I also won (last night!) a $15 gift certificate to FunnySideofLife’s etsy shop that’s full of amazingly cute photo booth props, signs, and table numbers on The Average Bride!. The Average Bride is an awesome blog and I’m always finding super cute stuff on her site! If you don’t follow her already, you need to! Mathew and I decided on getting these signs (below). On the back of them one says “thank” and the other says “you”. Again, these are going to make awesome pictures on our wedding day! Ahh I’m excited!
I feel so lucky to have won so many awesome giveaways this past year and I hope to win more! Every little bit helps!

Wow! You are quite lucky!!! Love those flip-flops, they look so cute! 🙂
And yes, calendars are most definitely a necessity haha! Oh, another thing we have in common– our fiance’s have the same first name!
The Vintage Modern Bride says
Jessica- I’m glad you like the flip flops! I hope the girls like them also. And that’s awesome about your fiance having the same name as mine! My fiance is a former aggie, actually. He was in the corps of cadets (but had to switch schools because the corps never let him study so his grades were awful)! So ya’ll have something in common too! haha
The Average Bride says
Great Pick! Those are my favorite signs too. =)
