Brides Across America – Providing qualified Military Brides with a FREE wedding dress!

In honor of Veteran’s Day, I had to blog about an amazing organization that I have recently found out about, Brides Across America.  This is a non-profit organization, uniting bridal salons throughout the country for a common purpose…to support our troops and their families.  

After reading an article on NPR about how the troops in Afghanistan feel forgotten, the organization’s founder, Heidi Janson, felt that it was time for her to take a stand and do her part.  Combining over twenty five years of experience in the bridal industry, with her entrepreneurial spirit, Brides Across America was born.

Through this organization the participating bridal salons across America are donating and giving away wedding gowns to qualified military brides.  The wedding industry is making a difference, and giving brides the opportunity to find the wedding gown of their dreams, as well as alleviate some of the financial stress of purchasing a wedding gown. 

Each store will be preparing a select number of gowns to give away.  Most of the gowns are samples or overstocks, and are worth approximately $500 to $3000.  Dresses range in sizes from 4-22 and will be given away on a first-come, first serve basis as long as you qualify.  Sponsors include many popular designers such as Vera Wang, Allure Bridal and Mori Lee.

Brides Across America is dedicated to making military brides dreams come true, while anxiously waiting the arrival of their loved one from overseas.

Thank you to Heidi Janson for providing the information for this blog, and a special thank you to all of the men and women who have and who are currently serving and protecting our beautiful country!
