One of the best parts about being engaged is all the contest action that is happening all around us!  Wedding vendors frequently set up a cool give away or discount.  It helps to get vendor information out and draw new business, and let's face it - we engaged couples love the opportunity to save on our wedding budgets right? 

I am constantly learning about give aways, and I think I'm going to start featuring more of my finds here on the blog.  Today, ladies and gents, I have a doozie!  The Green Wedding Shoes blog is hosting a honeymoon giveaway to The Resort at Paws Up in Montana.  Now, now, now...before you go, "MONTANA???" let me just tell you that this resort is soooooooooo worth the cross country trip.  The Paws Up Resort features luxury camping.  And befor you go, "CAMPING???" let me just say that this is camping with serious style.  This is camping with 4 star style complete with butler service, tours, and a spa. 

The give away features a 3 night stay with accomodations in a luxury tent, three meals a day, transportaion on the resort, and travel arrangements from the airport.  Here are some pics of what you'd see if you won the give away!

Nooooooooot exactly your run-of-the mill camping trip.  So trot on over to the entry post on the Green Wedding Shoes blog, and sign up!  Entries must be made by February 25th! 

Good luck!

If you have cable television, you have probably stumbled upon the many shows centered around weddings. One of my favorites is Say Yes To The Dress which centers around the Kleinfeld bridal store in New York. This particular bridal store is famous for carrying all the top line designers who often charge more for one dress than I plan on spending on my entire wedding! While most bridal dress budgets do not reach the multiple or tens of thousands of dollars range, it is fun to watch the show and see the beautiful styles.

Now, there is a chance for one of you to win a dress from the Kleinfeld store! Check out the Kleinfeld Experience contest that is going on right now and ends on Valentines Day this year...

- a $5,000 gift certificate to Kleinfeld

- a private store opening in Manhattan, New York

- personal styling services provided by Randy Fenoli and a Kleinfeld Bridal Consultant

- free airfare and five-star accommodations
