NEW GLARUS - Brandi's Bridal Galleria, Etc. will give away free wedding gowns to military brides from 9 a.m. to noon Nov. 14 and from 8 to 11 a.m. Nov. 15 as part of "Brides Across America's" campaign.
The bridal salon, located at 12 14th Ave., New Glarus, will offer gowns from designers such as Maggie Sottero, Martina Liana, Jim Hjelm, Pronovias brands and Allure.
This is Brandi's Bridal Galleria's second year to participate in the event. Last year, it gave away more than 20 bridal gowns valued at more than $30,000. The salon hopes to double that this year, owner Brandi Nehmer said.
Since 2008, Brides Across America has donated more than 12,000 gowns to military brides, who often find it difficult to plan their dream wedding due to deployment, injury or other hardship.
To qualify for the program, the bride or her fiancé must be serving in the military either currently deployed, have future deployment, or have been deployed within the last five years to Iraq, Afghanistan, Middle East, Korea, or Japan or surrounding area. Brides must be preregistered for the event and bring proper identification along with deployment papers to be presented the day of the event.
