Essence of Australia Trunk Show

The next couple of weeks is turning out to be Trunk Show week. We've just arranged to have a dozen or so pieces of Essence of Australia's new spring 2008 collection brought in this Thursday, November 15, 2007. This is a new line for us that we will be carrying in the new year. This line is perfect for the bride who is looking for something elegant yet stylish with a bit of sparkle. But what really impressed us about the line is the fit. We had some of the staff try it on and they actually commented that their dresses fit as well as and maybe even a little better than Maggie Sottero (if that's possible).

So call today and book an appointment to see the line. The Trunk Show is on from November 15 to 27, 2007. And don't forget, for a limited time you can save up to $250 on any special order wedding gown.

The Most Romantic Proposal

****IMPORTANT UPDATE*****Due to equipment failure, most applications submitted prior to December 4, 2007 has been lost. Please resubmit ASAP as all applications will be posted for viewers to vote by December 17, 2007. We apologize for any inconvenience.


We are starting a brand new contest to win a free wedding gown or $500 instore Gift Certificate. As the title suggests, we are looking for the most romantic marriage proposal. What is the first question that your girl friends ask when you tell them you're engaged . . . how he proposed and did he get on his knee . . . after they check out your ring, of course. Since everyone loves to hear a good romantic proposal, we figure we try and convince brides across the country to share with us their romantic proposal. Participants can choose to share their story in writing with or without pictures or in an uploadable video format. These stories will then be posted on our web site for people to view, judge, and vote. The bride with the most number of votes wins a brand new wedding gown of her choice (up to $800 in value) or $500 in Gift Certificate. It's that easy.

The contest will run from now until January 31. The winner of the contest will be announced on Valentine's Day. Official rules of the contest will be posted in the following week. Nothing complicated. For now, just send us an email to proposal@bridalandbeyond.com with your story, picture (optional) and your contact information.

Good luck!
