Ready to win a wedding gown?! Well, today marks the start of a contest that just might make that dream come true! Along with designer Jorge Manuel, we're thrilled to announce the launch of the 2012 "Upon A Star" Wedding Gown Giveaway! From today until March 17th, submit your entry for the chance to win a custom-made, couture wedding gown by designer Jorge Manuel!
Visit Jorge Manuel's website for the official contest rules & application! To enter, you simply need to upload a fun photo of you and your honey, along with a brief explanation of your wedding style and why this year's Eternal Flame gown would fit into your aesthetic.

We're so excited to be a part of this fabulous giveaway, especially since the gown is so spectacular! We truly believe that Eternal Flame is the perfect combination of modern chic and classic elegance, and we can't wait for you to have the chance to wear it down the aisle!
And the excitement doesn't stop with the dress! Here's the rundown of what you'll win:
- A completely free, completely couture Eternal Flame wedding gown
- An overnight stay at the extremely elegant Fairmont Hotel here in DC on Friday, May 18th
- Any bride-to-be in the United States can enter, but you must be able to come to the nation's capital for the big reveal of the gown [and an incredibly fabulous party at Hitched to be thrown in your honor] when the winner is announced on May 18th!

Be sure to check back regularly as we blog about the process of designing and creating the winning gown, behind the scenes at Jorge Manuel. Good luck, gals!
