The Ultimate Bride's Essential's - Wedding in a Week goes all girly!

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU!

Accessorize Accessorize Accessorize ladies! This morning we are gonna accessorize you from head to toe... actually we'll stop just above the knee, cause we're sassy like that.

It's hard to know where to start when introducing Princess Lasertron, because there's so much to say about her!  She's a brilliant craft innovator, an inspiring and motivated business-owner, and she's at the forefront of a movement toward alt-bouquets.  She was also a crazy adorable bride. Witness.

Princess Lasertron has created custom bouquets out of felt, vintage buttons, and other ephemera since 2005.  Each of her bouquets captures the bride's vibe in felt and adornments, be it muted and elegant, or bright and spunky, her bouquets add a personal dimension to your wedding and everyday life. 

 

I, myself, loved having an alt-bouquet and highly endorse heirloom quality aspect, as well as the eco-bonus of buying handmade. For those of you who want a more hands-on experience, Megan just released a fabulous line of do-it-yourself felt craft kits (including bracelet cuffs!) for your crafty pleasure.

Clearly I think Megan is the bees knees, so it gives me great pleasure to offer you lovelies a genuine Princess Lasertron original bridal bouquet and boutonniere set (additional bridesmaids bouquets, corsages, etc. not a part of the offer). She will make them in the color and style preference of the winner, but here are a few examples of past work similar to this prize.

Folks may be completely mesmerized by your bouquet, so our next accessory will insure the attention back is brought back up to you:

Kasia Fink (aka Mrs. Seabreeze) debuted her sweet and sassy birdcage veil-crafting talent at her own stunning wedding in the Dominican Republic to rave reviews.  She is drop dead adorable and I'm completely smitten by her and her talent!  Plus she lives in Vancouver (with which I am currently obsessed) so she's inherently cooler for that reason alone.  She writes an entertaining blog called Good Finking, and recently launched her own veil business, Kasia Fink Veils, and its totally taking the wedding world by storm. 

Birdcage veils are all the rage - heck, you don't even have to be a bride to rock one these days!  Embrace the cage.  Putting one on makes me feel sassafrass!  I wore one in my boudoir pics - saucy! A chic friend wears one out to cocktails.  Can't pick betwixt the veil or the fascinator?  Want one look for the ceremony and something fun and flirty for the afterparty?  You're in luck, because Kasia is giving away one of each to our happy winner today!

The deets: Winner gets one lovingly handmade 9", 12" or 15" white or ivory birdcage veil, and one fabulous custom bridal fascinator by Kasia Fink.  Keep in mind for this custom prize, you must give at least 2 months lead time. 

 And now onto an accessory that stays hidden... until the cheeky reveal, that is!

Once upon a time, brides gleefully allowed their garter to be tossed away by the groom to eager single gentlemen, and the lucky winner proudly displayed it off his rear view mirror.  Well not any more!  Once you receive your custom garter from Julianne Smith Garters, and you'll be fighting the guys to keep it!  Relax will ya? I got your back, yo!  We're going to solve your problem by giving away not just one custom wedding garter, but a sweet bonus throw away garter too! Now you get to toss one, and keep one for the intimate after-after-party! Problem solved. 

Romantic? Elegant? Feisty? Offbeat? No Problem. She's got something for everyone, and aren't you lucky? These fabulous garters have been featured on The Today Show, Brides.com, Daily Candy, GetMarried and you're about to have two custom made to your very own tastes. Make a sweet one for the toss (no need to shock the new in-laws), and a sassy 2nd style to rev his wedding night engines when he sees your hot gam sporting that delight!  

 

Julianne Smith Garters is all about embracing the wedding garter tradition... with style. Animal print, lace, polka-dots; the choices are endless. And so is Jullianne's creativity so let her help you design the perfect finishing touch to your bridal ensemble!

With the Bouquet, Veil, Fascinator, and Garters you will be the most fashionable and memorably accessorized bride in all the land! This prize is valued at over $500, but how slamming you will feel on your big day (oh, and the fact that its free) is priceless.
