2. Win a free (pre-owned) wedding dress from Pre-Owned Wedding Dresses.com! Details here.

3. Eight20 Photography is training new associates and therefore offering a limited number of packages featuring complete 6-hour coverage starting as low as $1,500… you can save 50% off their normal rates!

4. Castle Bride Couture is giving away one of their fabulously sexy birdcage veils via Weddingbee. I’m sure you remember the stunner of a Castle Bride veil Justine rocked in the video I posted. Details here.

5. My fabulous headpiece designer, TS Tiara, has extended their sale through the month of February. All new orders on custom headpieces will be 50% off. You can even see my headpiece and earrings on her site!
