GIVEAWAY: Amex, Tory Burch and a bride for the opportunity of a lifetime

I love fall. It is truly my favorite time of the year. Of course with this minor heatwave we've been having, fall seems so far away. Well, the one thing I know for sure (sounds like Oprah right??) is that Fashion Week, is just days away. You can truly feel the energy shift here in NYC and in a week from today exactly, it will be Fashion's Night Out. Perhaps they will have one in your town and if it's anything like NYC, it will be crazy.

A few things to share:

1 - I will be sharing with you some of the latest trends from some of your favorite bridal and ready-to-wear designers. For me, one of the best parts of Fashion Week is a sneak-peek at what bridal designers are looking at for trends which we will see during bridal market.

2 - I've finally finished my new site for the company "Yours In Bridal". Please check it out and let me know what you think.  Honestly, it's still a work in progress, but I can tell you - the new features, new content and some exciting giveaways are in the works...which brings me to....

3 - Do you know American Express??  I've been really lucky to partner with American Express and Tory Burch to offer one lucky bride and three of her girls the ultimate back-stage-pass experience. Click on Yours In Bridal for more details.  You know you love fashion and who doesn't want the VIP Treatment.

I will select a random name from the list of people who have completed the five steps above, and will announce the name via the Yours In Bridal blog and Facebook Page on Saturday, September 11th at 11:59 PM EST. Good luck!

So thanks for being here with me and get ready for a new and exciting BridalEase.

Don't forget to enter the Amex contest - it's going to be great!!

UPDATE: 12:22pm - Michel C. Fina has generously donated a champagne set to the lucky winner.
