Just Inspiring

Hey you local lovebirds! Have we got a giveaway for you.

A handful of Utah wedding vendors are giving away a prize package worth more than $10,000. (Yep. We just said $10,000.) 

The project? Inspired. A Dream Wedding Giveaway. 

The prizes? Photography, cinematography, planning and coordination, stationary and invitations, photo booth, calligraphy, DJ, transportation, hair and makeup, flowers, cake and a spa package. (Yep. We just got giddy, too.)

The how? Write a paragraph that inspires these local vendors to create your dream wedding. Talk about your dream wedding details and submit an inspiration board with at least 10 images depicting your ideas.

The deadline? Midnight on April 1.

The website? www.inspiredgiveaway.com

The bottom line? Go inspire them! (Yep. You can thank us later.)

Tall Order

WE DO ... tall centerpieces! 


How much do we love centerpieces rocking the height? So, so much. They bring drama to the tables and joy to the eyes. Just be sure the tall wonders have a little visibility — you don't want your guests playing peek-a-boo the whole night. 

Got You Cover-ed

We love you, 2012.


And you know why? Because it means the brand new issue of Utah Valley Bride is out.


All together now: Squee! 


Its 156 glorious glossy pages are overflowing with local love, pictures galore, local vendors and ideas that will make your heart spin.  


Here's a peek at the four covers that will be distributed throughout the year. The Winter issue (photographed by the oh-so-lovely Jessie Alexis Photography) is on newsstands now. 


Now get a-planning!
