Good morning, lovely friends!

Welcome to our third Virtual Bridal Shower, a monthly online giveaway event where we endeavor to put the best tools, resources, and products into your crafty little hands - for free!

~ Before we get to the good stuff, please take a moment to read our Terms & Conditions at the bottom of this post. ~

This month I am absolutely thrilled to bring you 3 generous and outrageously awesome sponsors:

1. Kate Breuer, photographer and author of the Self-Planning Bride ebook.
2. VIP Sparklers, America's premiere manufacturer and suppliers of wedding and celebration sparklers.
3. Tieks, creators of some of the most adorably comfortable flats, ever.

Let's talk about the swell prizes, shall we?

The Lovely Miss Kate Breuer is offering a copy of her books, The Self-Planning Bride, to 3 lucky brides (and/or grooms).

The eBook Self-planning Bride | What a bride needs to know is the perfect companion for any self-planning bride who is overwhelmed with all the choices, decisions and things to organize when trying to plan a wedding without a wedding planner. It's full of advice from wedding photographer Kate Breuer who always wanted to be more than the one who took the pictures. She wrote down the things she wants brides to know and talked to experts in the industry to add more tips on topics she's no expert in.

This book is full of valuable advice that will help you plan the wedding you are dreaming of.

Here are just some of the topics:

· Choosing a venue
· Finding a wedding photographer (and other vendors)
· Planning the wedding
· The wedding photos
· The wedding day
· After the wedding‏

The book is valued at $9.99.

(If you'd like to check out a sample of The Self-Planning Bride, Kate is offering a free 9-page preview of the ebook for those who signup to her newsletter. The subscription form is here: http://katebreuer.us3.list-manage1.com/subscribe?u=23484a6dbd1d615a108496a49&id=b0034264f9.)

Kings of all-things that sparkle in the night, VIP Sparklers, is offering a mega-pack of awesomeness to add pizzazz to your big day.

I am going to be infinitely jealous of the winner of this prize because ... sparklers! They're my weakness and I live in an area where all fireworks are severely forbidden. Here's the $200 package VIP Sparklers is offering to one winner:

• 1 pack of 144 36-inch wedding sparklers
• 25 of champagne bottle sparklers
• 8 retro wayfarer glasses
• 10 of our sky lanterns

From the company: All of VIP Sparklers are true wedding sparklers unlike the majority of the sparklers sold on the internet. They are made with a steel wire core for a virtually smokeless and ash-less display. Our 36 inch wedding sparklers have a burn time of almost four minutes and are ideal for any wedding size over 100 guests. our 25 bottle sparklers can be used by the waiters or during any celebration throughout the night. These champagne bottle sparklers make for a gorgeous display! Our bottle sparklers are even safe to hold in your hands! VIP Sparklers adds a unique touch to any event and can offer a true wedding sparkler experience at a cheap and affordable price for any wedding!

Makers of the most comfortable flats you'll ever own, Tieks, is giving a gift card for oh-so-pretty shoes.

How's this for your "something blue"?

Have I told the story how I twisted my ankle at my reception when the heel of my obnoxiously expensive pumps sank 2″ into the lawn? Not fun times. Anyway, I've become evangelical about brides wearing flats instead of towering heels because wedding day ER visits are a major bummer.

Lucky for you, Tieks, offers comfortable-but-stylish flats that you can wear during your wedding and beyond. They're offering a $200 gift certificate to one lucky winner to go towards the Tieks shoe of your choice.

How about these beauties? (The gold and blue is KILLING me. LOVE!)
