Win $100 off Your Wedding Invitation Purchase!

Chelsea Clinton was recently married to Marc Mezvinsky in a large, elegant and expensive wedding celebration. Because both Chelsea and Marc’s families can afford almost anything, they planned a beautifully extravagant ceremony that most brides can only dream of having.

Inspired by Chelsea Clinton’s ‘spare no expense’ wedding celebration, I thought it would be fun to hold a wedding planning contest and see what amazing ideas you brides could come up with if your wedding budget was $4 million. All you have to do is think about all the amazing decorations, unique venues, dresses and wedding invitation styles that you have ever wanted and write down your list of favorites.

The winner of this contest will receive $100 off their order of letterpress wedding invitations.* We will select the winner by a very high-tech drawing from our lucky hat.

Write your responses in the comment box below and you are automatically entered to win $100 off your letterpress wedding invitation order.*

Good luck with your dream wedding planning!

If you have $4 million, would you hire Bill to walk you down the aisle?

Weddings Unveiled sprang from the minds of a wedding planner and a fashion photographer. They imagined a beautiful magazine reflective of the South’s modern sophisticate with a fresh, edgy take on classic style. The result proved to be the most exciting, talked-about wedding publication in the South by brides and wedding professionals alike. Weddings Unveiled is everything weddings with vivid imagery, lush editorials, incomparable fashion and a sophisticated manner that appeals to intelligent, modern brides.

As a professional wedding consultant, I saw the need to reach brides and help them along the somewhat overwhelming path of planning their wedding.  With so many things to research and so many aspects to a wedding, it’s nice to know that there is somewhere to go for helpful information, hints and tips to ease the process, ideas and inspiration to create your dream wedding, and a place where you can ask questions and get answers.

So I saw the need to bring some of these professionals together in one site to better educate and inspire brides.  We are each specialists in our own wedding service industry and it is with our expertise and experience that we will be able to help you along the way.  One person can’t know everything, but a group of us can guide you along the way.

We hope that you will find ideas and inspiration that will make your day memorable for a lifetime. Congratulations!  And remember to have fun!

Great ideas and inspiration from who else? A bride on a shoestring…teriffic read.

Congratulations to Amy! She was randomly selected as our giveaway winner for the 100 Letterpress Save the Dates. We had to pick the winner randomly, since all the entries were wonderful, although I have to say, Amy’s proposal story was secretly my favorite! Click here to read all the proposal stories. (Ladies, if he hasn’t popped the question yet, send him this link, it may give him some ideas!)

If you missed Amy’s proposal, here it is again:

Michael planned a Christmas Eve dinner at the Oregon Grille in Hunt Valley, Maryland. When we arrived he had slipped the maitre‘d an envelope with a note that read, “Amy Lynn, I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you, will you marry me?” The maitre‘d handed me the wine list and I thought “That was weird? They usually give the wine list to the man.” Well, when I opened the wine list the envelope slid out into my lap and Michael said “What’s that? Open it.”

I curiously started to open the envelope and as I read the note, Michael went down on one knee and unknowingly pulled the entire tablecloth down with him. Wine glasses, water, bread, silverware and menus came crashing to the floor. The entire restaurant went silent and Michael didn’t miss a beat as he said,  “I can’t imagine my life without you, will you marry me?” The rest is history. The entire restaurant erupted in applause. It was a night to remember.

Way to go Michael! Congrats for staying on task!

If you entered our contest and weren’t selected, send me an email at ajalon[at]ajalon[dot]com with your address and I’ll send you a free letterpress sample pack. Also, be sure to subscribe to our blog, as I’m sure we’ll have another giveaway soon! This was a hoot, and I can’t wait to do it again.
