Cake, Candles and Contests, Oh My ...

Classic Bride turns ONE on August 28th (I know I'm celebrating a bit early but it's for a good reason -- which I'll get to in a sec!) and I'd like to say THANK YOU to everyone who has stopped by along the way and left words of encouragement and advice. I have found such endless inspiration from all of my favorite bloggers and readers alike.

With this in mind, I'd like to take a second and shine the spotlight on some of my sweetest commenters. There are several of you that always find a second in your day to say something nice and I want you to know that your kind comments never go unnoticed. They are so dearly appreciated.

Thank you Muffy, msteacherlady, Riley, Guilty Secret, Melissa's Greetings, The Invitation Lady, Etiquettely Correct and Kate. And a big blog hug to all of you who have taken the time to comment and visit!

Now onto why I'm posting a few weeks early! In honor of Classic Bride's one-year mark, I'd like to offer a fun contest centered around my header design. The lovely Kate Spade heel has graced the top of my blog for almost as long as my blog's been around. While I still love it, I'm always open to the idea of change and I'd like to see YOUR fresh ideas. So, if you're feeling creative, send in your header submissions to theclassicbride@gmail.com by my blog's birthday, August 28th. One winner will be chosen and the design (and credit to the designer) will be featured for one week (or much longer if I'm really smitten!). The winner will also receive one of my absolute favorite wedding-planning books, Simple Stunning Weddings, by Karen Bussen.

Have fun and I look forward to seeing your classic designs!

  4. Wow! Well thank you for the link love :)

    Ooh, a new header... I love the idea of this contest... do you want to keep the words 'an inside peek to the planning' in it?

  5. Hey guilty secret:

    As for the header, as long as it still has 'Classic Bride' somewhere in the mix, I'm open to absolutely anything! :o)
