Military brides invited to enter in gown giveaway

Submitted by Brides Across America

Brides Across America will partner with Kathryn’s Bridal Salon to make wedding dreams come true for many military brides. The salon will host a wedding gown giveaway, donating designer dresses as a special thanks to the servicemen and women. The annual event will be hosted at their McHenry salon on Wednesday, July 10. For military brides who are interested in participating in the giveaway, visit www.bridesacrossamerica.com to register for the event.

Brides Across America’s partnership with Kathryn’s Bridal Salon will honor and support our servicemen and women by providing our military brides with a special shopping experience.

Many military brides find it difficult to plan their “fairy tale” wedding due to deployment, injury or economic circumstances. Brides Across America founder Heidi Janson wants to continue making dreams come true.

“This is a Cinderella moment that any bride would dream about,” said Heidi Janson. Brides are encouraged to bring a photo of their fiancé to share their story while shopping for their perfect wedding gown.

In order to qualify, brides or their fiancé must be serving in the military; either currently deployed, have a future deployment, or have been deployed within the last five years to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Qatar, Libya, Kuwait, Korea, or Japan. Brides must preregister for the event and identification and deployment papers must be presented at the event to qualify. For military brides who are interested in more information, visit www.bridesacrossamerica.com on how to qualify.

Brides Across America is a nationwide 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides free wedding gowns to military brides who have been unable to have their dream wedding. To date, Brides Across America, with the collaborative effort of bridal salons, designers and individual donations, has been able to donate 10,000 wedding gowns.
