Before the new giveaway launches tomorrow and the current jewelry giveaway ends tonight, I have a surprise giveaway for bride-to-be's that are in or near New York City on January 26th {which also happens to be my birthday - so it's guaranteed to be a great day!}.

UPDATE: I have the 2 lucky winners {Since I really would have loved to let each of your go, I had to select only 2, so I used random.org to pick the winners} . . . and they are:

Katie I would looooooove to see Preston Bailey. As a wedding planner planning my own wedding, I'm super excited about this year's newest trends!

AND

Christina I would really like to see all the florist presentations; I would love to be able to add flowers to my centerpieces and other reception areas without the flowers being the focal point.

Congratulations!!!!!
