Military Brides Free Wedding Gowns

Brides Across America, a nationwide charity dedicated to providing free wedding gowns for military brides, announced that their bridal store partners will be giving away free designer wedding gowns from July 13-24^th, 2010.  Bridal salons across the country are saluting the military who have served in Iraq, Afghanistan, or whose fiancé’s are on active duty in these areas with this special celebration.  

“With the economy at its lowest and military couples are struggling to afford a wedding, it is important that we come together to show our appreciation for their brave service and commitment to our country.” “Every little bit helps”, said Heidi Janson, founder of Brides Across America.  “Many soldiers come back injured and take severe pay cuts.  It makes it very difficult to make ends meet not to mention have a dream wedding.  The least we can do is to help them have a magical day!” she said.
