Nashville Brides and Wedding Pros: Let’s Help Haiti…Here’s How

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Since the earthquake hit, I’ve been devastated. I’ve turned off the tv because the situation is so dire and I wasn’t sure how I could help. Then it hit me, I should turn to the community that I love - the Nashville bridal community - and see if we can work together to heal Haiti.

ABG’s Bridal Bumpers for Haiti

At the Jan 17th bridal show, I gave away bridal bumper stickers to Nashville brides to celebrate their 2010 wedding.  Brides loved them!  So I thought, why not turn this freebie into a fundraiser for Haiti.  Now, “Bridal Bumpers for Haiti” has become my small contribution to Haiti.

How does it work?  Buy a bridal bumper sticker - suggestion donation is $5 but any amount will do and ABG will donate all proceeds to Haiti via Doctors Without Borders, on behalf of the Nashville bridal community.  It’s that simple.  Just buy a cute bumper sticker and the money will go to Haiti.   This is a small task but could be just what a doctor needs to deliver supplies, aid to Haiti.

To all of the brides pictured above, I hope your bumper is proudly showcasing your 2010 bride.

Even if you are not a bride, you can still pick up a bumper sticker to join the cause.  We have a version that simply says “Love Nashville Weddings” that would be perfect for ANYONE who follows ABG:).  Vendors - if you are attending the vendor dinner this Thursday, I will have them available there - no excuses:).

You can also help by spreading the word - the more people that know, the more money for Haiti, with a simple gesture on your part.  Simply tweet it and include the #WEDHAITI.  Or, email your friends this post so they can pick up a bumper sticker and help us help Haiti.

Where to get your bumper sticker:

Don’t have a bumper sticker?  So many Nashville wedding vendors have graciously joined to help and now you can pick up your bumper sticker at the following locations.  While you’re there, feel free to shop around or leave a cash donation for Haiti to be added to the overall ABG donation.

These super cute bumper stickers will not last so be sure to pick up yours NOW.
