WHAT IS THE STYLED CHALLENGE?

The Styled Challenge is designed to showcase local wedding vendors’ creative talents as a team by styling a design space based on an assigned mood board and venue location. Your challenge is to bring a fictional couple’s wedding story to life through elevated and out-of-the-box designs.

We welcome and invite all Wedding Planners and Event Designers to apply for The Styled Challenge when we host a Styled by Southern Bride photo shoot in your local market. This is a CHALLENGE, so put your best foot forward and gather some of the best of the best wedding vendors in your area to join your team. Depending on location, we will select 2-4 design teams to participate in the Challenge.  There is no cost to apply.

The Cedar Room Styled Challenge

There will be an awards ceremony and networking gathering, usually on the evening of the shoot, where Styled SHOOTS by Southern Bride will name the winning team.
However, keep in mind;

  • If you are chosen to participate – we feel you are already publish-worthy, meaning each design team is already a WINNER!
  • The naming of a winner is because one design team stepped up their game just a little more than everyone else.
  • Each design team will be guaranteed digital publication and social media posts on Southern Bride and Styled SHOOTS by Southern Bride.
  • Each team member will receive all images from the photographers to use for marketing purposes as long as proper photo credit is included on all postings and ads.
  • The winning team will receive ‘The Styled Challenge Design Winner’ badge.
  • Each participating team will also receive ‘The Styled Challenge Ambassador badge.
  • This should be fun and only used to get those creative juices flowing – friendly competition.

Please note that we will be videotaping the event, intending to create a micro-video series on The Styled Challenge for Southern Bride YouTube Channel.
