WIN! Your wedding in the Cayman Islands
*
...and a stunning Ben de Lisi designer dress worth a total of £16,000!
The Cayman Islands, one of the most glamorous, stylish and discreet of all Caribbean destinations, is giving You & Your Wedding readers the opportunity to win the ultimate wedding and honeymoon in these idyllic islands, dressed in a designer wedding dress.
And to create the ultimate beach wedding dress, we’ve asked one of our favourite fashion designers to the stars to come to our assistance. Ben de Lisi, who dresses many leading ladies for the Oscars and whose collections grace the catwalks at London Fashion Week, has been commissioned to design the ultimate dress for our winning bride.
This will be no ordinary designer wedding dress. It has to travel easily and well to the Cayman Islands, be beautiful to wear in the year-round tropical climate and, as the sun sets on your wedding day, still look and feel glamorous, sexy, and above all – like your day – perfect.
**Don't miss our live webchat with Ben on Tues 15 July from 4pm when you can ask him all your wedding fashion questions.
For the wedding ceremony, our lucky winning couple can choose from the white sand of Seven Mile Beach, a pretty sun-drenched church covered with hibiscus, or gloriously scented floral gardens, all on Grand Cayman. The Cayman Islands’ wedding professionals will be on-hand to create the wedding of your dreams and attend to your every little desire.
After your wedding, it’s time to honeymoon. With two other islands to explore, you can take off into the sunset and begin married life together on yet another deserted beach. For a real ‘Robinson Crusoe’ experience, a deserted stretch of beach on the tiny paradise island of Little Cayman, where the sand is as pure as the driven snow, is the perfect spot.
Diving in Cayman is the best in the world. Why not learn together, or just enjoy snorkelling through the colourful, pristine waters, before lazing in a hammock, sipping rum punch and dining on the islands’ exceptional seafood. With fabulous watersports, wildlife, enchanting walks and restaurants, you can do as much or as little as your hearts’ desire.
So it just remains for us to find our ‘ultimate beach wedding’ couple.
TO ENTER: simply click here to send us an email with your full names and a contact address and telephone number. Please attach a full length photo of you and your fianc!, and give us a few words on why you think you should win this fantastic wedding and designer dress to complete your entry.

Subject: Cayman Islands Competition

Three couples will be shortlisted and invited to London for the Designer Wedding Show, where they will meet our panel of experts from the world of fashion and weddings, and enjoy a day and night of pampering. Only one couple will win this exclusive competition – but we promise that a great time will be had by all.
Your amazing prize!
The winning couple will enjoy a wedding and honeymoon with ten nights’ accommodation and breakfast in a property of their choice. You can choose between one of the smaller, intimate resorts such as the Southern Cross Club on Little Cayman, or stay at the five-star grandeur of the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, with its prime location on Seven Mile Beach.
Your wedding celebration itself will be tailored to your every dream – perhaps at one of the islands’ pretty churches; a deserted stretch of soft white sand lapped by turquoise waters; the stunning floral gardens of the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, or even on a boat on the clear turquoise sea, with tropical fish and marine creatures as your guests.
You’ll fly in the comfort of premium economy to Grand Cayman and, during your honeymoon, you’ll enjoy some of the Cayman Islands’ most exciting adventure trips including swimming with stingrays in open water, an adrenalin-pumping helicopter tour over the island, discovering the native iguanas and exploring the rich underwater world in a submarine. We’re even throwing in a couple of romantic dinners in two of the islands’ best restaurants – and believe us there are plenty to choose from every night.
The icing on your wedding cake, will be your beautiful haute couture wedding dress, designed especially for you, but with inspiration drawn from Ben de Lisi’s personal experiences of the Cayman Islands.
Prize subject to availability and to be taken before June 2009.
