It’s our first giveaway of the new year, and it had to be good, so who did we call but our pal The Garter Girl!

The Garter Girl designer Julianne Smith has a passion for the fun that bridal garters can bring to a wedding day. She creates sweet, simple garter designs with thoughtful details, and specializes in custom pieces made just the way you’re envisioning.

Today Julianne is generously giving one lucky Junebug reader the garter of her choice – thanks Juli! You can choose a design from any of her collections – Traditional, Modern, Eco-Friendly, Something Blue or Couture, or work with her on a custom garter. To enter to win simply visit The Garter Girl website, take a look around, and leave us a comment here describing which garter designs you love the most. We’ll accept entries all week, and choose our winner at random on Monday, January 16th. Have fun everyone!

Honorable Mention – Phenomenal Wedding Portraits Submissions from The Best of the Best 2011

January 6, 2012 | editorial team

Wedding portraits of brides, grooms and couples are the heirlooms that families will pass down for generations. In the submissions for The Best of the Best we receive more wedding portraits than any other type of photo by far, and they range from classically traditional to extraordinarily out-of-the-box. We love seeing them all, and are thrilled to close out this photography-filled week by sharing some of the portraits that we weren’t able to include in the final 50. We hope they bring you as much inspiration as they have brought to us!

Engagement photos are a huge (and very fun) part of the wedding photography experience for many couples and photographers, so we were excited to include them in our 2011 Best of the Best Wedding Photo Collection. The following are engagement photo submissions that we absolutely love and we wish we would have had room for in the final Collection. Enjoy their creativity, personality and spirit!
