September 2010 Newsletter
Looking back at previous years, it's very clear that times and indeed trends have changed. From big hair, shoulder pads and bellbottoms to plaited hair and skinny jeans, nothing seems to stay the same. The Bridal industry is no different!

This is a very exciting newsletter as we will be featuring various categories within the Bridal Industry – giving you those most sought after tips and tricks with regards to this year’s trends. While planning and constructing this newsletter I thought to myself…Why not give away some amazing prizes? Without any further ado, I present to you, the Trends Edition’s SMS Competition!
This is how it works: Below each featured category’s article, you will find a question – send an SMS with the correct answer and you stand a chance of winning the prize for that category. Easy as that! Exciting, isn’t it?
On top of that, we also have ANOTHER SMS competition taking place, this one gives you the opportunity to win one of four R250 Yuppiechef.co.za vouchers – click here for more information.
From myself and the SA Weddings team – have a splendid week!
Happy Planning!
