We are thrilled to be a part of one of the best celebrations of the Fourth of July that I have ever heard of– the Brides Across America military bride dress giveaway at Charlotte’s Weddings and More! Brides Across America is an AMAZING organization. As they state on their website, “Bringing bridal and military together is a marriage made in heaven! Bridal salons are uniting across America to donate and giving away wedding gowns to qualified military brides. The wedding industry is making a difference and giving brides to be the opportunity to find the wedding gown of their dreams as well as alleviate some of the financial stess of purchasing a wedding gown.” Both Will and I come from families with military backgrounds, and we love being able to use our talents to benefit others and give back, so joining on to the event was a natural for us. (We also give wedding special packages and discounts to military families, fyi!)
And what an event it will be! From 11am to 8pm on Tuesday, to-be brides who are on active duty in the military or have a fiancé on active duty in either Iraq or Afghanistan can come to Charlotte’s and find the dress of their dreams. (All military brides will need to show ID, copy of deployment papers, orders or other qualifying proof.) The list of designers that are participating is truly amazing; I can’t wait to see all of the dresses! Eric from Hybrid Moon Video Productions will be on hand to capture the brides’ stories and we will, of course, be capturing all of the amazing moments.
If you know a bride who just might need a little help making her dreams come true, please pass along the information. And of course, stay tuned for some photos next week!
