Today I have another ‘too good to be true’ competition instore for you!
Henry from Henri Josef by Henry Roth has been a busy bee since we last saw him on Polka Dot Bride. Apart from his busy life as a bridal designer, he’s wrapped up Series One of Project Runway Australia and is ready for Series Two (which is casting now).
Last time Henry visited the blog he gave away a wedding gown, this time he’s dressing your bridesmaids!
What’s The Prize?
Four Henri Josef bridesmaid gowns in style #86259 for one lucky bridal party!
This feminine gown has a strapless sweetheart neck line and is in an empire style that falls softly to the hem. It features satin detailing under the bust over a chiffon dress.
The dress is available in a wide range of delicious colours – White, Ivory, Baby Pink, Pink, Coral, Fucshia, Hot Pink, Champagne, Gold, Rust, Orange, Cinnamon, Grape, Wine, Chocolate, Pool, Peridot, Black, Lilac, Fresh Grape, Butter Cup, Plum, Navy, Charcoal in Sizes 2-18 and 20-30. Each gown is valued at $375. with a combined prize value of $1500. The prize will be in your colour choice.
How Do I Enter?
Like the Win A Wedding Dress competition, this competition is all about inspiration boards! Inspiration boards are one of my favourite things in the wedding world. You can pull together every element of a fabulous wedding in pictures to create a real ‘feel’ for the event. Check out any wedding blog and you’ll see plenty of these – you can check out previous Polka Dot Bride boards here.
To win the dress you must create an inspiration board around the Henri Josef bridesmaid gown.
Rustic or formal, country or city it’s up to you! Use your board to describe the setting of the wedding, the little details, tell us the mood – tell us a story! Be sure to feature the bridesmaid gown in your entry!
Your entry must be emailed to win@polkadotbride.com.au by 11.55pm Australian Eastern Standard Time, Thursday 23rd of April 2009
Once the close date has passed, Polka Dot Bride readers will be asked to vote on their favourite entry. The three entries with the highest votes will be passed onto Henry Roth who will choose the winner!
How Do I Make An Inspiration Board?
You can make a board using any graphics program like Photoshop or Paintshop. Simply save the images you’d like to use and arrange them in a document. Mrs Lemon at Weddingbee has written a tutorial on using Photoshop for your inspiration boards. A very easy way, is to use an online tool called Mosaic Maker where you can upload your pics and create a simple but effective board over at Flickr tools. A third way is to use Polyvore, which allows you to drop images in from any source.
Please credit all sources of the pictures you use to create your board (i.e instead of ‘Google images’ try and find the exact source) and link to them. If in doubt, it’s best to leave it out!
Here is the gown you can win for your maids (Your entry must contain at least one photo of the gown). You can also view the gown on the Henri Josef website.

What a great competition. Thanks Polkadot Bride! You say: “Be sure to feature the bridesmaid gown in your chosen colour.” Do you have pictures of the gown in all the different colours?
March 5, 2009 at 10:06 am
Laura- That’s my mistake! We did try and provide different colours but the gown just ended up looking distorted and odd! You can find a colour chart that accurately represents the colours that the gown comes in at your local Heni Josef stockist though!
