Brides Across America
/
Last year we had the honor of hosting a Brides Across America event in our shop. Brides Across America is a non-profit organization that gifts wedding gowns to our military and first responders. Founded in 2008, the organization has, to date, donated 24,000 gowns to women who put themselves on the front lines for our safety. The organization has stated its core purpose “Is to have bridal salons and wedding professionals bring awareness and support by expanding their philanthropy efforts by holding bridal gown giveaway events in their community. We believe in changing lives and transformation. If we can change one life and make a difference, we have done what we set out to do. By taking action today, you can unite with us in passing on the love and making a dream come true.
We had such an incredible time contributing to making wedding dress dreams come true. Last July we closed the shop to the public and hosted 15 heros and their families. There was not a dry eye in the house as bride after bride found her gown. And shoes. And veil.
We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting the second annual Brides Across America event on Friday, July 10th and will be adding covid-19 frontline healthcare heroes to those individuals who can qualify to receive a dream wedding dress! At Lily Saratoga, we are incredibly thankful to those that have risked their own lives to better the lives of others, especially during these unprecedented times. If you or someone you know qualifies for this event, please email us to set up an appointment. Space is limited for this event and appointments are required. We hope this is a way we can show our gratitude and look forward to partnering with Brides Across America again this year.
