Online Bridal Shows
Online Bridal Shows is part of a network of dozens of websites.
Dear Creators :)
We are using 99designs for the first time and are excited about this contest!! We have seen your huge creativity and can't wait to do this with you. A great design is like a music composition. So initially we will just describe the mood so that you can let your imagination run free .... If this works for us here we have more projects we want to submit. The prize is now GUARANTEED because of the GREAT QUALITY of YOUR WORK!!! We put the prize as high as possible for us out of RESPECT for your creativity. So here we go :)
There are no videos on the old site but on the new site it will be very important. We are looking for a web2.0 kind of look... Onlne Bridal Shows offers Brides to visit a Bridal Show online from the convenience of their home. They can do this in 2 ways:
1) on a 2D website consisting of videos and exhibitor/vendor listings
2) on a cutting edge 3D website where visitors can navigate through an immersive 3D convention building.
5 stars *****
Since this is our first contest we are not yet able to do a blind contest. Thus we are rating all with 5 stars. At the end of the contest all people in our office will vote for the winner. For now the stars reflect our appreciation for your GREAT CREATIVITY and for doing this exciting contest with us :-)
PLEASE feel free to ask any questions for clarification. Since this is our first time, we are happy to give you the answers you need. We won't be able to respond on the weekend but will be back again on Monday PST.
PLEASE ALWAYS CHECK the comments area below. We will post UPDATES AND TIPS in response to your questions and to make our brief as clear as possible.
All the best to you, we wish you great luck and lots of inspiration
Have a great day

- when visitors look at the site we would like them to sigh, smile and remember their own wedding day or to wish they would get married
image ideas:
happy people, smiling, couples in love looking at each other, bride and groom at ceremony, bride, cut outs, semi transparent transitions
website visitor objective:
- the bride, groom or her parents is trying to put her wedding together
- she can visit a 2D or 3D bridal show on our site to find the vendors she needs or she can find a bridal show in her own town
- the things she needs include wedding dresses, wedding cakes, wedding invitations, wedding venues such as a hotel or banquet room and more, you can google weddings to see what they need
about the website
- simple, clean, modern and elegant design
- think hulu meets facebook meets yellopages
- very visual image rich - we would love the images to be contagious and make the visitor feel happy
- there are 2 equal top priorities: listings of 2D bridal shows and 3D bridal shows
- second priority will be the listings of the wedding vendors (dresses, cakes...)
