For Immediate Release:
Nationwide (October 31, 2016) – Brides Across America is proud to kick off its annual November 2016 Operation Wedding Gown giveaway events held at salons across the country. To support and connect our communities, Brides Across America will continue its efforts and include our First Responders by giving away even more free wedding gowns to support our everyday heroes.
Annibel C., Nashua, NH: “I had a wonderful experience. Without the help of a free wedding gown from this program I would not have been able to afford one. I went to November's event and there was plenty of gowns to choose from. I was able to try lots of gowns on and found the one after about 5 dresses! I can't wait to wear it. Also, they provided me with a veil and headpiece. My family all shared in on one of my most memorable moments. My fiancé is overseas and will be back in Oct. We plan to get married in Dec right before Christmas. Thank you so much Brides Across America!”
BAA and our host salons say thank you to our Military and First Responder brides by giving away free gowns on select dates from November 6 – 19, 2016, valued up to $5,000. Designers vary and brides are encouraged to register early. “Operation Wedding Gown” is truly an amazing event and is our “Thank You” to all who serve us daily. Brides Across America and its partner salons have donated over 17,000 wedding gowns and gifted over 20 weddings since its inception in 2008. The program reduces financial stress in planning a wedding, financial relief; (average wedding gowns cost with accessories $2000) and transforms lives.
