One of the best parts of my work as Editor of French Wedding Style is the chance to be part of FWS real brides planning their weddings in France. Over the years we have had a wonderful selection of women sharing their wedding planning journeys on the blog, and I am delighted to say that it is time to find some more!

I am looking for brides who are planning a wide range of styles and types of weddings in France, from DIY to grand Chateau weddings. However to apply your wedding must be taking place from Jan 2017 until Dec 2017.

To apply you need to:

• A paragraph background summary on you and your fiance, how you got engaged and a little about yourselves,
• submit a 250 word summary of your wedding plans, including proposed wedding date and if you have it location of your wedding,
• Inspirational board ideally on Pinterest, demonstrating the style of wedding you are aiming to plan.

Don't worry your inspiration board doesn't have to be a work of art, but please provide a link to the Pinterest board or Jpeg of the board. The board should contain basic elements such as style, colour, venue inspiration, decoration ideas, suppliers work you love etc.

The submissions will be reviewed and the winners will be featured on the blog, along with your inspiration board, so keep any secret elements off the board for now.

Please remember before submitting that the winners will be asked to share an honest and open account of planning their weddings in France and their journey as a monthly feature for the blog. And of course it will culminate in the real wedding being featured on the blog after the big day.

The closing date for entries is 31st March 2016 so become a FWS Belle Bride and send your application to [email protected]

Can't wait to welcome the next Belle Brides.
