Register Now for Upcoming EventsBrides Across America holds its wedding gown giveaways twice a year in partnership with bridal salons across the country. The events take place in July and November to honor our troops around Independence Day and Veteran's Day. To attend, brides must first make sure that they meet the qualification requirements. You may learn more about qualifying by clicking the Who Qualifies? tab above.
Can’t attend a gown giveaway event in July or November? Online store Qualifying brides may then register to attend the event at a participating bridal salon by completing the registration form and paying a $30 fee. This small fee helps Brides Across America cover the costs of organizing and running these events. Brides experience financial hardship may contact us about waiving the registration fee. On the day of the event, registered brides must bring a copy of orders, deployment papers, or an official letter confirming the military status of the bride or groom. You will be asked to show this qualifying documentation before you start looking for a gown so please come prepared. Once verified, you will be assisted in finding a gown from the selection provided for the event.
