BRIDES ACROSS AMERICA CELEBRATES INDEPENDENCE DAY BY GIVING AWAY FREE WEDDING GOWNS NATIONWIDE

16 June 2018 by

BRIDES ACROSS AMERICA IS KICKING OFF OUR 10TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY AND WILL BE CELEBRATING BY GIVING FREE WEDDING GOWNS TO MILITARY AND FIRST RESPONDER BRIDES TO BE.  

Nationwide (June 15th, 2018) –In honor of our national heroes, during the 2018 Independence Day celebration from July 2, 2018 – July 15, 2018, Brides Across America will deploy Operation Wedding Gown to honor our military and first responder brides-to-be with free wedding gowns nationwide.  Events will kick off at participating salons and will offer a selection of designer wedding gowns some valued up to $6000.  Sizes will range from 0-24. Brides will need to register for the upcoming events.

To allow love to play the starring role and minimize wedding-related financial stress for our heroes, Brides Across America, founded in 2008, originated Operation Wedding Gown. Since that time, Brides Across America, our partner salons, designers and individual donations have made it possible to give back by providing over 20,000 wedding gowns and 22 full weddings across the country.  With wedding dresses and accessories costing an average of $2,000 the win for our heroes is evident.

“This program means so much to us. With all the medical expenses, gifting me this gown can make our dreams come true on our wedding day!”  This will be a wonderful day that we can forget about our struggles and share in our love for each other," says Roseann.

How to qualify and register for an Operation Wedding Gown Event:

Military brides must bring proper identification along with copy of deployment papers to be presented the day of the event. First Responders must bring a valid work ID the day of the event.

Making dreams come true is the life work of Heidi Janson, founder of Brides Across America.  She says, “Every bride deserves to have that fairytale wedding especially our first responders and military that serve us on a daily basis. I felt compelled to give back and make a difference for our heroes sacrificing their lives.”
