Wedding Competitions?

StaffsLass, 12 May, 2014 at 16:53 Posted on Planning 0 14

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know the best way to find wedding competitions, specially for photography and dresses? And any tips on entering to win?

We have a lot sorted now for our wedding, but we have a very strict budget and these are the areas we will most have to compromise on which is a pity. I'm really hoping to win something so i can have the perfect dress and a gorgeous photographic record of our day Smiley laugh

We're having quite an unusual wedding (outdoors, handfasting ceremony, drumming, animal petting etc) and have quite an unusual 'story' too about how we met as teenagers and ended up where we are now. i'm hoping this will give us a bit of an edge.

Also, just wanted to say "hello" *waves* and I look forward to getting to know you all xx

    I won a honeymoon right here on hitched no less.

    Industry websites, blogs and magazines and vendor Facebook pages tend to be where I see most wedding competitions. The majority of which tare usually multiple choice question & answer with the couple picked at random from 'a hat'. So doesn't really matter what type of wedding you are having.

    I enter any that I see pop up on facebook and have won 3 things that way so far!

    Quite a few blogs also post about current competitions on twitter, so it might be an idea to follow any wedding blogs/magazines on there.

    The wedding community blog also have some great ones, but you need to be a member to enter. I've won on there too this week.

    Welcome to hitched, happy planning (& winning, hopefully)

    It isn't dress or photography unfortunately, but we are running an easy competition to win a tablet, which you may still be interested in. All you need to do to enter is request an obligation free quote. You can find out more information here: Request a Free Photography Quote

    Look at local magazines/papers etc too, not just online. We are the official photographers for the Bristol Evening Post win a wedding contest, and shooting the winners wedding in July. She won an amazing wedding, but it was a whole wedding not just one element!
