Kerrie and Mark’s Surprise Wedding by Memory Bank | Photography

I’ll be honest, I’ve got a bit of a countdown going for the next week. I’m heading off on a bit of an exciting (working) holiday to the USA, and boy, I can’t WAIT! But, this trip doesn’t mean I’ll be absent from the happenings of the PDB world, quite the opposite! I’m hoping to be something of a sponge and soak up all I can in the world of weddings over in the big smoke! What’s new, what’s on trend, new ideas and inspirations to share with you all! I can’t wait!

If you have any suggestions for vendors or locations for me to hit up – I’d love to hear them! If I could knock on the office door of Martha Stewart Weddings – I would!

In the meantime of course, here is the fabulous weekly blog news roundup, complete with giveaways, events and offers to sink your teeth into!

We have a winner! We were overwhelmed by the amount of fantastic entries into the ghd Styler competition, and it certainly was a hard choice to be made! BUT – the lucky winner of the Limited Edition Styler and bonus Paddle Brush was Clare, from WA, with her winning poem that won over the hearts of the judges:

Parties coming, hair is flat, no invitations looking like that.

Perfect hair from GHD, some Polka Dot Bride action,

ensures I become the mane attraction!

Congratulations Clare, and thanks to everyone for entering!
