Sweet Annie was the winner of a portrait giveaway as part of our modern black and gold styled shoot featured on Every Last Detail earlier this year, and I couldn't have been blessed with a more lovely and kind subject to photograph. We met up at the historic O'Henry Hotel in Greensboro for her bridal session back in August, and I've been (not-so) patiently awaiting her wedding date so that I could share these images. Annie had her classic hair and makeup done by the wonderful Carla White and wore a simple and stunning dress that let her pure beauty shine through.

A few months ago, I had the honor of helping my industry colleague Kerri create and launch her new brand, Kerri Leigh Weddings + Events. In the midst of creating a business that was a true reflection of her, we came up with the idea to plan an inspiration shoot.

We had a fabulous team of vendors come together to create something awesome, and today, I am thrilled to have that shoot featured on Every Last Detail. Check out the feature here!

So many wonderful shop owners from Etsy contributed to this project and many of them were kind enough to donate their items to be used in one grand giveaway worth more than $500. Enter below for a chance to win one of 10 awesome prizes... you have two weeks to enter and share with your friends, and winners will be announced June 13, 2014.

Be sure to leave a blog post comment with the top 3 items you'd like to win from the slideshow below in order for your entry to be counted!

If you live in or are getting married in North Carolina, be sure to check out part two of our giveaway, and enter to win more than $800 in prizes from our local contributors!

Many thanks to everyone who came together to make this inspiration shoot a great success:
