Offbeat Bride Giveaway

February 8th, 2008 @ 1:01 pm by Contests

Today we have a copy of Offbeat Bride: Taffeta-Free Alternatives for Independent Brides, donated by Miss Hummingbird, to give away.  If a traditional wedding just isn’t your thing, this popular book is a must read.

To enter, comment below by 1:00pm EST tomorrow.  Good luck! :)

I am planning a relatively non-traditional wedding… this book looks helpful.

This would be great! Everything about our planning thus far has been pretty non-traditional :)

Ironically, my friend was just explaining to me how non-traditional I was in my wedding desires … would love the book to tell me what she means!

I went to chapters to get this book the other day and couldn’t find it. Miss Hummingbird and I live in the same city, so if I won it there would be no need for shipping. :D

I thought I was a taffeta-free bride, but somehow the taffeta snuck up and ambushed me. I am still aspiring to be non-traditional in other ways… although maybe there are escort cards and such out there waiting in ambush.

Hey, I’d love the book. Since my mom passed away Jan 10. everything about our wedding has changed. Instead of the traditional here comes the bride song we are having the intrumentals to “old time rock and roll” pus i am having my two little cousins (5 and 7 yrs old) walk me down the isle. So I think this book is right up my isle!

Oh please please please let me be picked. The book is near impossible to buy here because the publisher doesnt have any deals with sellers here. Please dont let me be robbed blind by some online book seller who will ask for my firstborn in exchange for the shipping.
