Want to win $500 worth of Dessy accessories just for creating a fab Style Board that will set the tone for your wedding?

Dessy has partnered with Pantone, the global authority on color, to create an amazing new tool for brides-to-be. We all have an idea of what our dream wedding looks like, and now you can create your very own Style Boards to help match your wedding colors and visualize the overall vibe!

Select your perfect wedding colors from among 200 Pantone hues, and this slick tool will pull up all of the Dessy dresses and accessories in these corresponding colors. Not only can you build your Style Board (via easy drag and drop functionality) with Dessy products, but you can pull in any photos from your own collection. So, if you’ve seen a to-die-for floral centerpiece that will inspire your wedding décor, or a Vera Wang wedding dress that you know you’ll be walking down the aisle in, create your Dessy/Pantone board around this photo!

I’m thrilled to announce that we’ll be hosting an incredible monthly contest and giveaway on the Savvy Scoop. Throughout November, we are challenging our savvy brides-to-be to create the most fabulous Dessy/Pantone Style Boards. At the end of the month, we’ll select our favorite board, feature it on the blog, and the winner will receive $500 of Dessy accessories in their Pantone wedding colors! Pretty unbelievable, right?

And as if that weren’t sweet enough already, we’ll be doing this for four months- a new winner for November, December, January and February. From those four winners, we’ll select the very best of the bunch, and this lucky grand prize winner will receive Lela Rose bridesmaids’ dresses for up to 8 bridesmaids!

You may submit as many times as you like, and here is all you have to do to enter, my dears!

1. Create a style board with your wedding colors on the Dessy website!

2. Share your inspiration board with us: Click “Share Board”, and email submissions to savvyscoop@onewed.com with the link to your fab board

3. Have all submissions in by Sunday, Nov. 29th, so that we can select and announce our favorite on Nov. 30th!

So go crazy, ladies! Get those creative juices flowing and be inspired. It just might score you $500 worth of Dessy accessories!
