The petals and stems have been flying across the studio these days. We feel beyond blessed to have the work that we do this year, and would like to thank everyone so, so, so much for your support of our small business!! It seems after every event we do, we get tons of requests for “pictures please” from many of you on our Facebook page. Everyone loves a wedding, and everyone loves to gush over the beautiful details of the day, especially the flowers. Which got us to thinking…we should give an award to honor the most beautiful and most commented on wedding.
Announcing for the first time ever, the Bloomie Awards! Since this is only our first year of the Bloomies, only one grand prize will be awarded for The Best Overall Wedding Flowers and Decor. If this year is a success next year we hope to offer more awards in different categories including: Best Bridal Bouquet, Best Personal Flowers, Best Color Scheme or Theme, Greenest, and Best Overall.
This year’s award winning couple will receive a $100 Visa Gift Card and we will also be making a $100 donation to a charity of the winning couple’s choice.
To Enter:
If you are interested in participating, please gather up the very best wedding pictures you have (all professional photos will have photo credit given, and a link to the photographer’s website), along with a list of all of your wedding vendors with links to their websites or contact info. Be sure to double check with your friends and family if you are planning to submit pictures of them to the contest, as they will be appearing on this blog. Also double check with your photographer about their policies. Once you have all of this together please submit it to us via e-mail to our main e-mail: heather@anightinbloom.com
All entries must be submitted no later than November 1, 2010, but the sooner the better if you want to gather as many comments as possible. The winners will be announced in early December, just in time to kick off the holiday season!
Rules:
The winners will be determined based on how many comments are posted on the couple’s blog post. Comments made by A Night in Bloom or the Admin. will not be counted. Any 2010 wedding pics that we have already posted on our Facebook page will have their comments applied to the contest tally as well (again, with the exception of our own comments), this means only weddings before June 7,2010. All posts after that will not be counted.
Tips:
Send an e-mail to all your friends and family, post about the contest on Facebook, or Tweet about it. People seem to love images of flowers and emotions. Photos including Mom’s pinning boutonnieres, friends hugging while holding bouquets, flower girls wearing halos, and babies with flowers are always a huge hit. Of course the details such as all the bridesmaids holding their bouquets against their dresses, and the bride in her dress holding her bouquet are always favorites too! Keep in mind everyone can comment, not just your friends and family but our other readers and wedding pro friends as well, so neutral pics without people in them are good options too. If any photographers out there would like to submit your favorite examples of flowers and emotions for me to attach to this post, I would be happy to.
This is a great opportunity for any couples looking to have a little extra spending money during the holidays, but also for what we are sure will be a worthy charity.
Thanks for reading and good luck to all of our 2010 couples!!!
