Robbins Brothers, The Engagement Ring Store partnered with Mon Amie Bridal Salon to give future brides a chance to win their dream bridal gown in the holiday sweepstakes, 12 Wedding Dresses for Christmas, and today the companies reveal the winners.
Contestants were asked to visit a Robbins Brothers location to complete a quick electronic form with a description of their ideal wedding dress in 300 characters or less. The twelve lucky winners, one per Robbins Brothers store, who will enjoy a White Christmas this holiday season are Sarah Lewis (Fullerton), Michael Jenkins (Woodland Hills), Elizabeth Hoyt (Torrance), Hannah Pawlowski (Montclair), Heather LaRocque (San Diego), Katie Hendry (Mission Viejo), Jennifer Loya (Glendale), Delia Gonzales (Riverside), Hilda Cantu (Houston), Emily Wheeler (Baybrook), Tara Smith (Dallas), Gloria Diaz (Arlington). Each winner will receive a $1500 gift certificate for their wedding dress.
Tara Smith, the winner from Dallas shared in her submission, "I would love a mermaid style dress that shows off my curves but gives poof at the bottom that I've always dreamed of. The more sparkle the better, and figuring out the rest I just know your advisors will help me with!" She also admits, "The hard part's really over--I found the love of my life!"
“We know that once the bride receives her dream engagement ring, she immediately begins to envision the beautiful wedding dress she’ll wear to walk down the aisle,” said Diane Ferraro, director of advertising for Robbins Brothers. “Wedding expenses add up quickly and we’re beyond excited to spread some Christmas cheer amongst these winners,” commented Shawna Stanger, director of merchandising for Mon Amie. “This is a holiday they’ll always remember and we’re grateful to be a part of it.”When notified that she was the winner from Torrance, Elizabeth Hoyt said “I couldn’t ask for a better Christmas present! I just got engaged last week so this is such an amazing surprise!”
