The overall prize package is valued at over $2,000, and includes all the styling components for the chicest of wedding-day preparations.

Facetime Beauty Concierge will arrive on location the morning of the wedding, ready to create the chicest of hair and make-up looks for all six ladies.

So even if you are a past-bride, industry vendor, or weddingphile {don't be shy, we know you're out there}... you could win too, and graciously gift the prize to your client, friend or favorite bride-to-be.

Thursday night at the Nest

A wonderful weekend at the BRIDES Newlywed Nest

The It! Girls had a fabulous weekend at the BRIDES magazine Newlywed Nest! We adored hanging with the Conde Nast girls at the eco-friendly show house designed by Inson Dubois Wood, mixing and mingling with newly engaged and newly married couples over wine and hors d'oeuvres in New York's East Village.

It! Weddings & Events has been working with BRIDES to incorporate bridal programming throughout the tri-level penthouse offered at $3.5 million, including makeup consultations with Linsey Snyder Wachalter of Face Time Beauty Concierge, stationery consultations with Bridget Williams of BDUB, and a culinary Q&A featuring Bravo's "Top Chef" star Stephen Asprinio.

We met some lovely couples and had so much fun dishing on money-saving tips for a DIY wedding at Charleston's Gibbes Museum of Art, consulting with couples determining whose hometown will host their nuptuals, and selecting wedding-friendly wines with Chef Stephen.

Up next: The It! Girls will be back at the Nest (311 E. 11th St., NYC) for an exclusive Girls Night Out featuring wedding and evening fashions from bridal atelier Mark Ingram, bubbles and bites including sweet treats from the Lower East Side Girls Club bake shop.

It! Weddings & Events will again be offering complimentary wedding and event consultations as well as beauty treatments from Face Time Cosmetics. For more information or to RSVP, log on to www.bridesfirstlook/newlywednest.
