How to Qualify

Information regarding events and how to qualify.

Operation Wedding Gown

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.

How to Get a Free Dress

1
Make sure that you qualify for a dress
In general, you qualify if you are a military bride/first responder (or the fiancé of a military member or first responder),
2
Register to attend an upcoming event
Events are held nationwide in July & November, around the Fourth of July and Veterans Day holidays.
3
Attend your event and get your dress
On the day of the event, you will check-in/provide ID, and will be assisted in finding a beautiful dress. You will leave with your dress that day!

About the Gowns

You will find a wide variety of gowns donated by designers, salons, and individuals. Each salon has a different number of  gowns and sizes available to give away. Prior to the event, we provide each salon with a complete list of the attending brides and their sizes.  We do our best to make sure that a good selection is available.

Alterations

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 and agree only to use it for personal use. When you register for a gown giveaway event, you agree to comply with this policy.

Tax-Deductible Donation

There is a $125 tax-deductible donation required when registering for the event. The donation covers administrative costs associated with running the event. Brides Across America is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization.

ID Requirement

On the day of the event, registered brides must bring proof of service and ID upon check in.  Once verified, you will be assisted in finding a gown from the selection provided for the event.
