Be the Sunday Times Dream Bride 2011

Want the ultimate fashion wedding? Well, now you can have it. Enter The Sunday Times competition and you could be their Style Bride 2011

One lucky winner will be walking down the aisle in every girl’s fantasy wedding dress: a Vivienne Westwood couture wedding gown, up to the value of £15,000, made to your liking by the fashion designer’s bridal team. And 10 runners-up will each win an equally covetable prize towards their big day.

So, could it be you? If you are due to marry in the next year, they want to hear from you. Why do you think you deserve to be Style’s Princess Bride 2011? Write to them, or email, with a full-length picture of yourself, telling them, in no more than 250 words, why you deserve to win. It could be for reasons of pure romance, for triumph over tragedy, or simply for a love of fashion.
The Sunday Times will publish all the runners-up’s stories in Style, and the winner will be photographed in her dress by a top fashion photographer, and featured in the magazine in May. The winner must be available to come to London for four fittings, between February and April, and again for the fashion shoot in April.
Aside from the dress, there are also 10 runner-up prizes:
— A pair of shoes up to the value of £600 from every girl’s shoe designer of choice, Christian Louboutin.
Anya Hindmarch luggage trolley for the perfect start to your honeymoon.
— Full-day passes to the spa at The Berkeley hotel in Knightsbridge, for the bride and three of her hens, including smoothies and a light lunch, plus a facial and massage for the bride.
— A bridal hair consultation and goodie bag from celebrity hairdresser and bridal expert Richard Ward, to ensure your hair is salon perfect on your wedding day.
— A set of bridal lingerie worth up to £500 from Agent Provocateur, the ultimate name in naughty negligées.
