THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED, THANK YOU!

Hold on to your seats because California Blooms is going to send you over the moon with 250 boutique grown, eco-chic roses of your color choice! I know, you're thinking "Shut the front door", right?! No, seriously go click that hyperlink and check them out because once you do, you'll be on the must-have bandwagon! Better yet, get your posse in on this action because who *can't* use a fabu prize like this! The possibilities are limitless! The perfect shower! The most amazing engagement! A bloomin' beautiful wedding setting! Carry them! Wear them! Float them! Love them! Freeze dry them for the perfect keepsake! Suck up to yo' FMIL cuz you bought the wedding dress she didn't approve of! The sky is the limit! 

They come loose, not pre-arranged, so you can break them out and use them for anything your broke-ass desires! This prize is a DIY bridal dream-come-true!

California Blooms is a family owned and operated company located in Burlingame, California. Roses are individually hand-selected and cut at the peak of their growing cycle, hydrated overnight and then shipped directly to your doorstep! Their eco-friendly growing methods have reduced energy consumption by over 30%! The growing techniques and philosophies are focused on the art of hands-on experimentation of optimum growing and not producing mass quantities of generic roses. This means you get the best of the best, yo! (see? we got your back...)

One lucky winner will receive 250 stunning long stem roses! Roses can only be shipped within the good 'ol US of A and keep in mind that the colors available are dependent on the time of the year you are using them. This prize has a year-long shelf life, not that you'll need it, because its so amazing you'll eat it up! Roses are loose, and not pre-arranged. Please note that red roses are not available from 12/24/09-1/27/10.


If you're wondering what to do with some of those roses, I got a solution for some petals, sister! This next prize had me at "double crystal hearts".  Add a touch of class to any wedding with Weddingish's black and white satin flower girl basket, ring pillow, and guest book, all accented with double crystal hearts. I highly recommend giving the basket and ring pillow to your youngest relatives for a show stopping flower girl/ ring bearer moment of crushing adorableness.

Weddingish has everything from practical ceremony accessories to any wedding gift you can imagine. Whether your a bride wanting to make custom cookies for your wedding party, or the maid of honor looking for some sassy wedding lingerie (heck you don't need to be the maid of honor for that) Weddingish has a plethora of options. And Raya, the owner, is totally my peep.  Lurve her.

The satin black and white flower basket and ring pillow are accented with double heart crystals at the handles of the flower basket and center of the ring pillow. This rich white satin guest book is designed with an elegant black velvet strip across the front and embellished with double crystal hearts, has a page designated for the Bride, Groom and Attendants, as well as room for up to 400 guests and comes with a matching pen and stand.

Together, the roses and ceremony accessories set value over $1,100!  Decor and score (and so much more) - just the way I likes it!  Remember to save some rose petals for your bridal bed, yo! Rawr.
