Challenge 9 Results

Aahhh, Wednesday, August 12th. What a fine fine time for result time.

SO. I am impressed. The final five! People, this insane! We are...soooo close. And yet...so not there. Not quite yet.
But before we can determine the final 3, we must determine the final 4, and the only way to do that is to eliminate one more.

Challenge 9! The Epic Wedding challenge...
Recap: That's right kids, its time to style a woman for the happiest day of her life [or so she thinks. You don't have to agree.], from the dress to the corsage to the tablewear. Similar to the prom challenge, but on a much grander scale, you will each be assigned a client who has some pretty specific wants for their big day. With the information given, create a set [or 2] for her wedding. You must make sure the dress is covered, the shoes, the accesories, the flowers. Optional things to include are dinner plates and silverwear, bridesmade dress, 3-song soundtrack, other decorations, and the groom.

So, uh. Let's get down to critiquing these epic sets then, shall we?

CRITIQUE

BBGal-Not bad, not bad at all. I really like that you got out of your comfort zone, layout wise here. We think that you really tried to pay attention to the directions of your client, however, maybe got traditional a little mixed up with old fashioned...the dress, well on par with the lace factor, we don't feel quite goes with the other accesories, or the other bridesmade dress. And 2 judges both felt that for a traditional wedding, a viel should've been a must have instead of the headband. The layout, although improving, still felt a little off, and we feel this is mostly due to the picture of a girl in a dress for the bridesmaids, up in the left corner. The tan background of it makes the soft, white, lacey feal of the rest of the set unbalanced.

Lola-Next time you don't know what something is, ask! Or at least do some researh. Really, clarification is something I'm happy to attempt to give...however, as not-quite-victorian as it is, I do like the direction you look it, a little more cutsey girly wedding, but you have the right idea with the cameos and the high-neck dress [and I love that butterfly hair-thingymajigger!]. Lots of these little details got lost in all the pictures though [particuarly all the ones of flowers.], and we're still straining to see exactly what's going on.

Incubeautee-I really enjoyed your vision for this theme, the tatooed rings, the band playing. Like Lola though, a lot of your details get lost in the pictures; however, yours appears to be much more balanced, and this might be due to the use of a real dress and other accesories [however kinda squashed.]. Making the dress just a tad larger might've helped. And one judge mentioned, "I also can't really picture those wedges at a wedding. but it fits the description well."

Tripmywire-So I must say, great comeback from the last two weeks. You always do better when you think you're going to blow it, don't you? Well, anyway, for being anti-wedding you sure pulled off the beachy look nicely. The two sets meld together very well, though each one can stand alone. One judge did mention though, " I wouldn’t necessarily say that all the accessories of the bride fit, but she’s a hippie and who cares. I really would love to be a bridesmaid of this wedding…but I don’t know if it’s a good or a bad thing that the bridesmaids look better than the bride?!"

Ellie-Somehow, I think you were in a rush when you did this. When I fist show the pictures of the peacock wedding placings, I was very excieted at out perfect they fit your bride, even if magenta was not one of your colors.But, in the final presentation, it all fell flat...with a crazy, rich fashionista, you could've done something bold and grand...2 sets weren't necissary, and they didn't exactly compliment each other. Great shoes, but I can exactly see what's going on with the dress. Putting it all into one set probably would've helped you a great deal.

Man. It's so nice to get these done so quickly.

Anyway, back to business. Good news first.Lessee.
Incubeautee and Tripmywire! Guess what?
You are the top two.

But only one of you can win.
Again...
And so, who will it be?

Congratulations!!!
You are the winner of the epic wedding challenge!
Good show my dear!
You feel that warm swelling pride? Because that is your prize. It's must too close to the end for immunity.
Thanks very much Incubeautee as well. Can't wait to see what else you come up for us.

Oh, and hey, BBGal. You're in two.
Which means you're part of the final 4.
Awesome, right?

However, what is not so...awesome, is what we must do now.
Lola,
Ellie.
One of you is out.

We are so sad to see you go my dear. But I am so proud that you stuck with us this far and came all this way. It's a fricking long journey, isn't it? We hope you had a good time, and will stick around with us behind the scenes.

Thank you everyone!
