It's never a wrong day to honor the men and women who have served our country and local bridal reseller La Vie En Blanc is doing just that. They're giving one lucky military bride a bridal gown and accessories valued at up to $3,000 for her big day!

From now through Wednesday, November 25th, military brides can enter the A Blanc Bride Salute contest by sharing a photo of them and their significant other on Instagram and telling us all what makes them a savvy bride. Make sure you're following @VieEnBlanc and then be sure to share your Instagram post on Facebook. To qualify, brides must be active military personnel or be marrying active military personnel, a fiancé who's been deployed within the past five years, or have an upcoming deployment with the intent of getting married within next 18 months. The winner will be announced in early December.

"Military brides make sacrifices as individuals, as a couple, and as a family to protect our freedom and make sure all Americans are safe here at home," says co-owner Christina Planas. "It is because of their sacrifices that we are able to live the American dream in our business every day, so the very least La Vie En Blanc can do is give a military bride-to-be their dream bridal look to make her special day just perfect," adds co-owner Jenise Sierra Castro.
