Salon offers free wedding gowns to military brides

HIGHLAND | Brides Across America, Operation Wedding Gown, will salute U.S. troops in November while making dreams come true for military brides.
Elegance Wedding & Evening Wear is participating in Brides Across America to provide military brides with a free wedding gown. The Highland salon will host a Brides Across America event Nov. 6 and 7, donating designer wedding gowns to military brides who qualify for the program.
In order to qualify, brides or their fiancé must be serving in the military, either currently deployed or deployed within the last five years, to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Libya, Korea or Japan. Identification and deployment papers must be presented at the event to qualify.
Military brides interested in more information about Brides Across America can visit www.bridesacrossamerica.com. Brides must register for the event by logging on to Brides Across America’s website.
For more information about attending the Highland event, call the salon at (219) 923-0977 or visitwww.elegancewedding.net.
Many military brides find it difficult to plan their dream wedding due to deployment, injury or economic circumstances, said Brides Across America founder Heidi Janson. “My goal is to make sure we don’t forget all the servicemen and women overseas fighting for our freedom,” she said.
From coast to coast, bridal salons are honoring veterans by giving away free wedding gowns as a thank you for their service. Brides Across America is a nationwide 501c3 nonprofit organization that focuses on providing free wedding gowns to military brides.
