If you can use toilet paper to make a
beautiful wedding dress you just might win $10,000 and have your entry made into
a real gown!
Everyone
likes to save money here and there. And for some, saving money on weddings is
more than a hobby, and a little less than an obsession. Laura Gawne and Susan
Bain operate the popular website www.Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com.
The Toilet Paper Wedding Dress
Contest presented by Cheap Chic Weddings and Charmin begins March 12, 2015 for
the eleventh year in a row.
For the
first time ever, Kleinfeld Bridal will create a wearable gown inspired by
the Grand Prize Winner’s Entry! Contestants have until May 12, 2015 to submit
their paper masterpieces. Top ten entries will be chosen then online voting will
be open to the public.
The top
ten dresses and their designers will be flown to New York City to participate in
a live fashion show finale event at Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City on June
17, 2015 where the top three winners will be chosen.
At the
Finale Event, the dress entries will be judged by members of Cheap Chic
Weddings, Charmin, Co-Owner of Kleinfeld, Mara Urshel and Celebrity Judge Mikie
Russo, event planner and host of “Mikie Saves the Date” on FYI
Network.
“The
contest has grown immensely over the last ten years and we are always in awe of
the beautiful gowns created by the contestants.” says Susan Bain, Co-Founder of
Cheap Chic Weddings. “We specialize in making weddings chic on a budget but
these designs often surpass even our imaginations.” added Laura Gawne,
Co-Founder of Cheap Chic Weddings.
The
Grand Prize winner will see their design created into a beautiful gown and
receive $10,000, the second place winner will receive $5000 and the third place
winner will receive $2500.
Here’s How to Enter:
