Mrs. Penguin here, and I’ll be back in New York next week to attend the International Bridal Market. While I’m there, we’ll be attending the Martha Stewart Weddings’ 15th Anniversary Celebration at The Plaza, and we’d love for you to join us! The Plaza’s Grand Ballroom will be decked out as if it were a reception, decorated and catered by New York’s leading wedding industry experts!
We have two tickets to give away to our readers! To enter, tell us why you’re a Martha Stewart Fan! Please make sure you’re able to be in New York City on Monday, October 19th at 6PM. The contest ends tonight at midnight PST.
Oh, don’t I wish I could be in NYC! I have never ever been. Good luck to my fellow bees and have lots of fun, Mrs. Peng!
I have loved Martha Stewart from the first time I caught her on tv. I come from a long line of knitters, sewers, cookers, bakers, and all around resourceful DIYers.
Martha has always been able to bring these things to a level where they are understandable, do-able, and beautiful. Her designs span the years, keeping a classic touch on even the most modern ideas.
And, let’s be honest, Martha Stewart is the Queen BEE of DIY!
Ever since I got my grubby pre-adolescent mitts on my mother’s copy of Martha Stewart Entertaining - the original edition, with a very young Martha on the cover doing her best Norman Rockwell impression - I have loved, loved, loved Ms. Stewart. I even made a Chinese banquet for my parents’ anniversary at age 13, in an effort to copy her daughter Alexis’s efforts at the same age (somehow, I imagine that Alexis’s attempt went better than mine).
Martha Stewart Weddings is the only bridal magazine I read, because it offers concrete advice on crafts and food that I can actually follow. Say what you will about Martha’s attention to detail, but everything she offers is thoroughly tested and designed so that should you attempt her project, you will succeed. The incredible meringue-frosted cake in the most recent issue was the starting point for my entire wedding vision.
Plus, we’re both Jersey girls!
I’ve always been crafty and Martha Stewart has been really helpful translating my childish paper cutting and gluing to making things or real quality. MS Weddings is by far my favorite wedding magazine because it focuses on more homegrown and DIY weddings which I love instead of some of the more elaborate unreachable stuff. I savor every page of her magazines and dream of re-creating every craft. LOVE!
I have always loved how Martha is crafty and domestic while having an air of sophistication. Growing up, my mom made everything for my sister and I. Going to a Catholic school, those sort of home-made things were just not cool enough. Though I always loved them and am the crafty girl I am today because of them, I hated the bad rap that home-made items god.
She really cleared the way to make the DIY revolution something that is both hip and even chic! I mean, the woman served time and most of what we remember is how cool her knit poncho was when she walked out!
This event sounds like it will be amazing!! I would loooove to have the opportunity to go. Martha Stewart makes DIY-newbees like myself feel like pros!! It’s a good thing ;).
I loove Martha Stewart, not only does she create fab DIY crafts for weddings, but hello she can cook, home decorate and do some mean baking!
I mean everything is classic and gorgeous. Martha is a jewel to be admired! I love you Martha!
I’m #8. Forgot to log in:
Even though most people are fans of Martha because of craftiness (and boy do I admire that, as I’m not very crafty), but I am a Martha fan because she is fiercely independent. I love that in people. She represents what a strong modern should be. I would love to attend this event!
I love Martha Stewart for her gardening skills, and the fact that her garden is both beautiful and functional. I truly envy her green thumb! I would absolutely love to attend this event! I am getting married in October 2010 and would enjoy a little Martha inspiration as we start the planning process!
martha, what would i do without you? i got a collection of her cookbooks as shower gifts and i use the ever-loving-heck out of them. she helped me win over my in-laws with fudgy chocolate brownies and pumpkin cookies. and i’m the hit of every party with her tasty treat recipes. in fact, i am working on a birthday cake at this very moment…
Martha inspires me to find my inner craft goddess. I love viewing the incredible ideas she & her team come up with, and watching how real brides make it come to life. I am a huge fan and hope that I can incorporate some of her ideas into my own wedding. I would love to be at this event!!!
Martha is a creative goddess, a brilliant business woman and a force to be reckoned with. I would love to join in the celebrations and experience this sure-to-be magical event!
I love Martha for her creativity and also, her subtle, dry humor. I have many of her kitchen items from Macys and would be lost without them. I will be in NYC that weekend celebrating my one year anniversary and my birthday! It was meant to bee (hehe)
I think Martha is great! She’s incredibly driven and intelligent and has been able to overcome a lot. I love Martha Stewart Weddings - I think it’s the most classic and elegant bridal magazine out there.
I have been with my fiance for 2 years next month, but we knew it was forever after only dating 5 months and moving in together soon after. When it came to picking out the ring I went with Nick to the jeweler and picked out my ring and so it wasn’t overly surprising when he proposed 2 weeks later. I’ve been planning this wedding for far longer than we’ve been engaged, but I wanted something to be extra special when the proposal FINALLY came and that was waiting to buy bridal magazines. I would look at them in every grocery store, drug store, and book store, but I would never ever purchase because that was the one thing that I was saving for that special day. I was thrilled when he proposed and insisted he drive me straight to the bookstore so I could buy every wedding magazine in the place! But there was one that I’d been waiting my whole life to buy…Martha Stewart Weddings. I still have a year and a week to go before our wedding so while it still feels like forever to wait before the wedding, the silver lining is that I still have a few wonderful issues of MSW to go while I am still a bride!!! I love everything from the photo spreads to the DIY projects in it. I have to say I don’t know if I’ll be able to stop buying it after I’m married!!! Good thing I have an umarried younger sister!!
Ohmigosh, I’m already going to this since one of my best friends works at MS Living and gets to invite a guest! Hooray!
I love Martha and always have… she’s such a gracious hostess and I kind of want to be her.
I’d love to attend this event!
I do love (and have a subscription to) Martha Stewart Weddings, but I have to say I love her for her recipes in Martha Stewart Living. I’ve never been disappointed in one!
I absolutely adore all the floral arrangements! My complete inspiration for my floral!!
I love Martha because everything she does is a “good thing”.
Pick me, pick me! This is my dream come true!
