WeddingDay's 2023 Style Shoot Design Contest
Calling all planners, event designers, photographers, rental companies and wedding connoisseurs alike! WeddingDay is launching our fifth annual Style Shoot Design Contest, sponsored by AAYS Event Rentals! This contest is all about pushing the boundaries of wedding design while celebrating the talent within our community. We invite you to create fresh, new style shoots (with some guidelines!) that will go beyond anything we’ve seen before. Of course, there is some major incentive for you! The winning style shoot (as voted on by the WeddingDay staff) will be published in all 6 of our 2024 spring/summer digital magazines, with a full page print feature appearing in our 2024 annual Look Book. Bonus: All style shoots submitted will be guaranteed a feature on our website!
The Guidelines
- Your style shoot must use the 2023 Pantone Color of the Year: Viva Magenta. This does not have to be the focal point of your shoot—but it should be incorporated somewhere!
- Your style shoot must be based on one of the themes listed below. Use total creative range and freedom beyond those details!
- The 1970s - Groovy, psychedelic or disco vibes. Or pull inspiration from a favorite band, movie or TV show from the '70s!
- The 1980s - Bright neons and geometric shapes. Or design with inspiration from '80s pop culture or icons!
- The 1990s - Grunge, flannel or the more blingy side of the decade. Or get inspired by the decade's best boy bands or video games!
- The majority of the style shoot team should be Midwest wedding vendors (the location of the style shoot can be anywhere!).
- You must upload a questionnaire and vendor form with your submission
- The completed style shoot must be submitted via the form below by 11:59 p.m. on November 17, 2023
- The winning shoot will be revealed in our 2024 print Look Book and shared in our 2024 spring/summer digital issues!
