Wedding Bells

Ahhh! The Moment Has Finally Arrived.

Posted July 9th, 2009 | 4:45 pm | By Roseanne Dela Rosa |

OMG! I’ve been counting down the days until I could finally share with all of you the biggest news of all time. Even as I write this entry now, I can barely contain my excitement. So here it goes. Are you ready to hear it? As of today–you’ll also see the promo in our Fall + Winter 2009 issue of Weddingbells that’s on stands next week–we are officially going live with our blogger search. Ya, you heard me! We’re looking for SEVEN brides to come on board with us and blog for us. It’s so exciting!!! We’re launching a full contest on who gets to blog based on seven totally different themes. Here are the seven categories:

• Traditional – the traditional bells and whistles of a church ceremony, big party, sit-down dinner, toasts, dancing…the works

• Intimate — a teeny-tiny, ultra-romantic soiree for as many as 10 guests, and as few as two

• Luxury — desiring the finer things in life, with an over-the-top wedding to match, where no expense is spared

• Eco — bringing environmental awareness to a wedding, a green bride will ensure the care of the planet is paramount

• Alternative – saying “I do” while bungee jumping, or under water, this wedding is totally outside the box

• Bride Again — this bride has been at the altar before but is excited to do it again, with a fabulous celebration

• Destination – an exotic locale is what this bride and her mister have decided on for their dream day

So, if you’re interested (you have until September 4, 2009 to enter) you can submit a photo and blog entry (250 words) detailing why YOU would make the perfect Weddingbells blogger. The editors (which is us of course!) of Weddingbells will shortlist two finalists for each category, and the 14 semifinalists will then be narrowed to a final seven by a public vote.

All seven finalists will have their big day featured in Real Weddings on www.weddingbells.ca and one lucky winner, selected by the voting public, will have their wedding featured in the pages of Weddingbells magazine and win a trip for two to the El Dorado Casita Royale in the Riviera Maya, Mexico, courtesy of Signature Vacations.

To get all the details, visit weddingbells.ca/bloggersearch/welcome

Okay. I can breathe again. So, I want to hear from all of you, which category are you entering under and why?
