Ever since we announced our first ever Pinterest contest, I know y’all have been eagerly awaiting an update! I am so excited to say we’ve chosen our three finalists from the 50+ entries (y’all made it hard!), and now we’re ready to vote! If you recall, we’re doing something a little bit different for the prizes this time around: the Southern Weddings ladies worked with three different vendors to choose a prize that corresponded to each finalist’s board, but only the finalist with the most votes will receive their hand-selected prize. Make sense?
Here are the nominees!
Finalist No. 1: Country Lush by Justine

If Justine receives the most votes, she’ll win an adorable cake stand from Sweet and Saucy Supply!
Finalist No. 2: Black Tie with Blue by Alexandra

If Alexandra receives the most votes, she’ll get to dress her gents in classic black bow ties from Ties.com!
Finalist No. 3: Peaches by Lisa

If Lisa receives the most votes, she’ll get to choose a lovely clutch from Oatmeal Lace Design!
The finalist who receives the most entries via comments on this post will win the prize that the Southern Weddings team has hand-selected for them! Please, only one vote per person (we can and will be checking IP addresses and deleting multiple comments from the same address to make sure everything stays fair!). We’ll announce a winner Monday, April 30, so get those votes in quick!
Jodi Miller, Nancy Ray, Jose Villa, Meredith Perdue, Amy Arrington, Melissa Schollaert, KT Merry, and Elizabeth Scott are all fabulous members of our Blue Ribbon Vendor Directory!
