Well done and congratulations to you all. Ashley's winning entry came in the form of poetry and this is her entry:-

You asked what winning a fabulous dress,would really me to me
I hope that I can’t portray all this in the form of poetry :-)
The thought of buying my perfect dress, makes me feel a little tense,
Bridal shops seem intimidating, and then there’s the inflated expense.

At Savvy Cinderella I ’d find everything, all situated under one roof,
A new family run company, that would never be aloof.
They understand the reasons why budgets can be tight,
And have price ranges to suit all, much to my delight.

I have spent hours swooning over styles of Romantica of Devon,
Beautiful, intricate, wonderful designs, a bride’s little piece of heaven.
Barcelona, Boston, Ebony, Sienna, How will I ever choose?
With any dress from Romantica I know I cannot lose.

From the gorgeous puddle train of Equador to the classic style of Della,
I spend all day dreaming of visiting Savvy Cinderella!
When embarking on my wedding research I found “Wedding Girl SOS”
And reading through her previous blogsFound advice on picking a dress.

She posted a picture of a beautiful gown, and Zeta really caught my eye,
I imagined myself putting on this dress, and knew my mum would cry :-)
I'd be estatic to wear a stunning veil from Elizabeth Dickens veil company,
Embroidered, Russia braid, Ribbon, Flat, or is Oversewn the one for me?

To help me with veil length and type, and dress related decisions,
Savvy Cinderella can help with their personal service, and help me achieve my visions.
I'd love to look my absolute best, on our very special day,
Winning this fantastic prize, would make me feel this way.

So please help me look the most lovely I can, and make my fiancé proud,
This prize would make my dreams come true, and make me stand out from the crowd.
