Brides Across America, a nationwide charity dedicated to encouraging boutiques to provide free wedding gowns for military brides, announced today that Georgia’s premier bridal boutique, Wedding Angels Bridal Boutique will once again be giving away free designer wedding gowns on November 10 & 11, 2010. Bridal salons across the country are pleased to be saluting military brides who have served in Iraq, Afghanistan, or whose fiancé’s are on active duty in these areas with this special celebration.

“We are so grateful for the service men and women who are showing their commitment to our country. What better way is there to thank them than to help them celebrate their commitment to marriage?” says Jacqueline Westney, Owner of Wedding Angels Bridal Boutique. Courtesy of Wedding Angels Brida Boutique, the brides will have their pick of sample gowns at no charge. Many couples have fast approaching wedding dates because of challenges with planning leave from their deployment. Wedding Angels is prepared to help the brides look their best and feel like the belle of the ball for the wedding day!

A few of Atlanta’s wedding specialists are even contributing items to be raffled to the participating brides. One raffle will take place each day of the giveaway. Items include:

Holly Lombardo, of Classic Travel Advisors in Atlanta has arranged for a three- day and two-night stay donated by Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation.
Devon Morgan Owner and Photographer of PhotoSynthesis Studio has contributed a free engagement session.
Ric Mershon Photographers has contributed a free engagement session or bridal portrait shoot (bride’s choice).
Vivian McEntyre, owner of La Vita Allegra Invitation Boutique has contributed a 30% off gift certificate and plans to offer additional special discounts for all participating brides.

Additional vendors are volunteering gifts daily. For a complete list, visit www.weddingangels.com http://www.weddingangels.com for the most up to date information.
