We’ve got AWESOME news to share with all of you soon to be brides!! Style Me Pretty (one of my go-to inspirations) has cozied up with Blue Nile for their aaahhh-mazing “Ring It. Sing It.” holiday contest…giving one lucky couple the perfect proposal weekend. So, if you’re nearly engaged (and we KNOW there are a lot of you out there) you could win a…wait for it…a diamond engagement ring, a trip to NYC and the chance to pull off the ultimate proposal live at NASDAQ! Throw in a consult with yours truly to help you plan the perfect proposal weekend and it’s the coolest giveaway ever! Plus you can enter the “Sing It.” competition for a chance to win a personalized love song and performance by band Green River Ordinance. Pretty fab way to pop the question if you ask us!

And as for that perfect diamond engagement ring? Well, here are some Blue Nile favs…


First Row: Cirque Diamond / Halo Micropave Diamond / Classic Pear Shaped Diamond
Second Row: Aria Cathedral Diamond / Three Stone Diamond / Halo Pave Diamond
Third Row: Cirque Cathedral Diamond / Floating Diamond / Marquise and Round Diamond

Listen up…there isn’t much time to be lost here ladies!  The first part of the contest, Ring It, will culminate on Cyber Monday (Monday, Nov. 29) with a NASDAQ first — a live proposal.  Blue Nile will provide the couple with an all- expenses-paid trip to New York and the groom-to-be with a custom diamond ring for the proposal. Green River Ordinance lead singer Josh Jenkins will serenade the couple in a live, acoustic performance of the band’s hit song, Endlessly, and get this…Katharine McPhee will perform It’s Not Christmas Without You. I mean, how cool? To enter and find out more details, head to Blue Nile’s Facebook Page.

For the “Sing It.” portion of the contest, eleven winners of the weekly contest will have their own love story put to music crafted by Green River Ordinance. They will then be serenaded with their personalized song and given a recorded version to share with friends and family. Your own personal love story that incorporates elements from your own experiences. SWEET!

So, in the spirit of engagement fun, I grabbed a bit of proposal crafting fun from Style Me Pretty:.

1. Make it personal. Yes, the over-the-top, no-holds bar proposals are great…but it’s the personal touches that really make it memorable. Her favorite flower, the place you first laid eyes on her, a dessert she obsesses over. Those sorts of things.

2. Remember her unique personality when crafting the perfect proposal. If she is a private person, make it personal and intimate. If she loves a great party, invite friends and family to help celebrate.

3. Choose a ring that she will love forever. You can even download the Blue Nile app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to comparison shop in real time for the very best diamonds at the very best price. Blue Nile also lets you customize each piece so that you can craft a ring that suits her own unique style. Oh and they ship priority overnight with a 30 day return policy. Kind of like the best little set-up ever.

TO ENTER: To register for BOTH the Ring It and the Sing It portions of this INSANELY awesome contest, head over to the Blue Nile Facebook Page right NOW!. All Ring It entries must be received by November 15th, 2010. Sing It entries must be received by Sunday of each competition week. The winner will be chosen by a panel of judges including Katharine McPhee, Josh Jenkins from Green River Ordinance, Sharon Feder Hirsch from Mashable, a rep from SMP and representatives from Blue Nile.

Good Luck…I’m rooting for you!!


 

Major News Monday – Tabletop WOW!

Mar 8 |08:00

One of my favorite parts of wedding designing is taking ideas from the couple and realizing them, especially the most abstract! I love the challenge of taking elements that seemingly have no through line and create a cohesive masterpiece—thanks to my professors at Kalamazoo College! My design style relies heavily on theatrical aspects, as my training begins with set design and construction. Understanding the minute elements of design and the nuances of a play/idea allow me to develop a plan to visualize the final outcome and design accordingly.

So . . . when I received an invitation to be a part of the upcoming NACE Tabletop Wow event hosted by the Detroit chapter of NACE, I was extremely excited to get involved! What’s even better, is this year’s theme is a tribute to the Movies!!!!!! Since I refuse to settle for anything less that exceptional to deliver to you my dear bride, I am constantly seeking ways to strengthen my skills of design and implementation. Here is another fantastic opportunity.

Here is the overview. After selecting the theme of my table (Harry Potter, Avatar, Caddy Shack, Action Films, Romantic Comedies, Musicals, Classics), I can collaborate with numerous vendors both in and out of NACE to design a table that will be displayed and judged at the April 21st monthly meeting at the Palazzo Grande in Shelby Township. The tables are required to be functional, in other words, people have to be able to eat and sit at the table (no Naked Sushi Models), and extra points will be awarded to tables producing the WOW factor for under $500 (and we are required to provide a handout of the cost for the table).

Here’s a quick blurb on last year’s Tabletop WOW event at the Westin Book Cadillac in Detroit. I was told there was not theme last year, but as the second annual event, they’ve thrown out a new challenge – BRING IT!

Well . . . what do you think? I’m super excited, but there are so many options out there. Any suggestions? I would love to get your feedback on table themes you would like to have at your event! And if you are a vendor and would like to be a part of the design team, contact me!! By the way, it doesn’t have to be for just a wedding – Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Graduation, Retirement, Anniversary—Post your comments!

Sample Contest Entry

Our love story (in 100 words or less).

When his lab immediately rushed over to my Chihuahua at the dog park, we both rushed over to stop the madness. After some awkward small talk, we realized it was more than puppy love. They’ll be walking us down the aisle.

Three important details about our
Ultimate Wedding.

It will be a small destination wedding on a farm (albeit a fancy one) where there are plenty of activities for guests (swimming in a lake, tractor rides, spa). All family members will behave themselves. There will be a gospel choir singing during the ceremony.

Our everyday dream day.

We would go for a horseback trail ride, stop and have a picnic lunch, and watch the sunset while sharing a great bottle of wine.
