Brides 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.
Qualifying brides may then register to attend the event at a participating bridal salon by completing the registration form and paying a $20 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.

Prior to the event, we provide each salon with a complete list of the attending brides and their sizes and do our best to make sure that a good selection is available.
Most gowns require alteration. Alterations and any associated costs are the bride's responsibility. Limit One Gown Per Bride: Brides may receive one wedding gown only from Brides Across America. When you register for a gown giveaway event, you agree to comply with this policy.
