Tomorrow is the last day to enter this contest!

Hi Hive! We’re collaborating on an exciting event with the lovely ladies at The Lab and you’re in on in on the fun!

The Lab event is coming to Sonoma on January 14, 2012, and along with a non-traditional runway show, sweet treats, savory bites, and one heck of a party, they’re also collaborating with a few of your favorite blogs in an inspiration boards brought to life contest!

If you’re a faithful blog reader and bride, you’ve probably made an inspiration board for your wedding. And it’s likely won’t see that board come to life until your actual wedding day. We’re giving you the chance to see your inspiration come to life, designed by some of the most talented industry professionals in Northern California! We’re of course, partial to our own Weddingbee inspiration board brought to life by Mrs. Cupcake:

If you already have an inspiration board, or if you’re wondering how your wedding vision would look in reality, simply submit a board to us! We’ll choose our favorite from the bunch, and bring them back to the hive to be put to a vote for the grand prize winner. Four of your favorite wedding blogs are accepting submissions—submit one to us, and others to these great blogs: Snippet & Ink, The Perfect Palette, Style Unveiled, for more chances to win!

The winner will see their inspiration board brought to life at The Lab event on January 14, 2012 in Sonoma, CA, free VIP tickets to the event including early access to check out the vendors putting together your vision, hair and makeup, and a prime set of seats at the fashion show during the event, along with a great swag bag! If you’re unable to make it to Sonoma to attend the event, you’re still in the win! We’ll be blogging your inspiration board come to life at the event, and you’ll also be shipped a swag bag chock full of wedding goodies.
