I added Mary Bratko the Wedding Girl to Canada Blog Friends today and I'm celebrating the timely addition of such a worthy upscale Toronto event coordinator to the index of Canada's best bloggers. Mary is having the time of her life because she loves her job as a GTA wedding planner and that's really obvious in her blog, WeddingGirl.ca It was a pleasure to profile her for the index.

Bad Weather Hair when planning for an outdoor wedding in mixed weather conditions, some hair stylists will take precautions against the elements. They could use stiff hair paralyzing sprays or accessories, or they could just let go and let whatever happens happen... Have you ever seen pictures of a bride and groom in a rain storm? Tell me how did the bride's hair hold up?

Lenzr photo contest was inspired by Lady Gaga’s legendary NYC performance in the pouring rain, this contest asks to see people making the best of their bad weather hair. Sponsored by a Vancouver hair school, (where it rains a lot) the match offers $500 worth of AVEDA Pure Plant and Flower Essence Lifestyle products as prize. This is a great reward - you don't know how good these hair and skin care products are until you actually get to try them out yourself.

Hair Styling Trends for 2012 is another match on lenzr and this one asks shutterbugs and fashion devotees to gaze ahead and help predict the future. Submit original photography showing what you believe will be popular hair fashion trends in 2012.

Sponsored by a fashionable and new thinking Winnipeg hair school, this match will make a gallery of visual predictions - it will be thrilling to look back and see who was right. PRIZE Win $500 worth of Pure Plant and Flower Essence Lifestyle products. There's more information on both Aveda Contests on Price Network and I wrote about the Aveda hair rewarding matches on Roberrific on Squarespace blog.

Last but not least, the Aveda Institute scholarship video contest could be the best opportunity for a young stylist ever hosted free online - the match will yield five winners! Enter before March 31st 2011 and one could be one of five applicants to win free tuition at an Aveda Institute hair school across Canada, in Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria
