Budget Bride’s Dream! Find Your Pre-Owned Wedding Gown for Under $400 at Saturday’s Goodwill Gala
Thursday, March 15, 2012
This week is truly a dream week for all of you bargain-seeking brides. Today kicks off the Bridal Bargainista event, a great way to shop for pre-owned wedding decor (from aisle runners to centerpieces). We'll be there so be sure to plan to attend Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Find more details here. But, if you are looking for a steal on a wedding dress, join us bright and early on Saturday morning for the annual Goodwill Gala.

If you are not familiar with the Goodwill Gala, here's a quick rundown:
The Goodwill Wedding Gala is the ultimate way to save on your wedding dress. The Gala will take place from 6am to 9am on March 17 at the Goodwill Store in Rivergate located at 2101 Gallatin Pike North in Madison, Tennessee.
The dresses:
You will find bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, cocktail dresses, mother of the bride/groom dresses, flower girl dresses, and more from Alfred Angelo, Allure, Eden Bridals, Mary’s, Watters Brides, etc. No wedding gown will be priced over $400!!
The organization:
Proceeds from the sale of these items will benefit the mission of Goodwill, which is to provide employment and training opportunities for people with disabilities and others who have trouble finding and keeping jobs.
The inside scoop:
- Be sure to arrive early - last year there were 350+ brides in line at 6am to get their dream gown for less!
- Attendees will be treated to refreshments provided by C&K Catering and The Cupcake Collection.
- Rhonda Patton Weddings will provide inspirational wedding designs.
- Pre-owned wedding gowns have been cleaned by Nicholson Cleaners.
