100 Layer Cake

Congrats Brittney and Brandon! We can’t wait to see how your wedding turns out. For the curious… here’s a little peak into what B & B have planned for their November wedding in LA.

A 1930’s supper club vibe, including vintage restaurant booths, feather centerpieces, and little lamps on every table. Their entrance is going to be an old Hollywood red carpet, that doubles as a photobooth so guests enter the reception like stars and have their photos snapped on the way. And they’re pondering the idea of having a cigarette girl (who will pass out candy, not stogies) and press photographer milling about the party.

We see so many crafty vintage bunting flag mason jar weddings that it’s nice to hear an idea with a different vibe. Don’t get us wrong, we love all those yummy details too but change is always good.

Thank you so much, all of you, for entering the contest. There were so many great entries and there are so many gorgeous weddings on the horizon, but we had to choose one.

And thank you Jen for offering such a generous giveaway!

Let’s start this week with a fun giveaway from Hello!Lucky, shall we? Remember those cute mustaches and word bubbles from Eunice’s wedding? 2 lucky readers will win either a set of those or $100 off their Hello!Lucky wedding stationary purchase. (Winner’s choice).

Leave a comment here and we’ll pick two peeps at the end of the week. Buenas suerte!

Update: We’re closing comments at this time so we can pick a few winners!

Helllllooo mamacitas! Apologies for starting a day late this week. Sometimes things come up and, well, we can’t get our posts ready in time. You understand, right?

But our post this morning is DEFINITELY worth a day of waiting.

We’re giving away a wedding package and engagement sesh with Jen Rau.

Yes. Which means you could win free photography from a super talented member of the industry for not only your wedding, but also a bonus engagement shoot.

It’s a pretty good giveaway, no? Jen is suuuuuper nice and so talented and easy to work with. We can vouch for her personally as she shot both Kristina’s pregnant belly and a little family session after Dashiell was born. AND you might remember Michonne & Mike’s super sweet hot rod wedding from last winter? With the amazing DIY fabric flowers?

The contest is open to any couple getting married between September 2010 and April 2011. Jen is located in the LA area so if you plan to be married outside of our fair city, you will be responsible for her travel expenses. (Same goes for the engagement shoot). We’re looking for the most creativest, most original, most craftiest wedding. And of course it doesn’t have to be big budget. The more you can do with less, the better! And we want you to LOVE your wedding and be super inspired to make it personal and you.

Here’s how you enter:

Send an email to “info {at} 100layercake {dot} com” with the subject line “Jen Rau Giveaway” that includes the following information:

Wedding date & location
What makes you an extra creative, crafty bride?
Why you NEED Jen to shoot your wedding?
and please send a photo of the two of you

The contest starts today and goes through the end of next week. We’ll remind you as we get closer to the deadline. And keep in mind that in entering the contest you are agreeing that should you win, you’re up for paying travel expenses to your wedding. That’s all the fine print. Now send us your entries!

Good luck everyone and we can’t wait for Jen to shoot your wedding!

Delphine has now added save-the-dates to their collection and is giving away 100 of these cuties (with plain envelopes) to one lucky reader. You can view all of their designs here. Just leave a comment and we’ll randomly pick a winner on Friday. Good luck!

Update: Our giveaway is closed and the winner is…Jessica. Yay congrats! We’ll be in touch shortly with more info.
