I had a great time on Sunday at the "Your Wedding TV" Bridal Show in Orlando! I was very happy to meet a few members of the Association of Bridal Consultants (ABC) who welcomed me graciously into the BABC world. After quickly learning the ropes of our mission as "booth attendants", I spent the better part of the afternoon meeting Brides and Mothers, Grandmothers and more and familiarizing them with the Making Memories foundation and our involvement with Brides Against Breast Cancer. We sold raffle tickets for $1 each (benefitting the cause even more) to allow Brides a chance to WIN the wedding gown of their dreams, absolutely free! Quite the irresistable offer if you ask me!
I was also pleasantly surprised at the willingness of so many women to donate their gowns for the cause! Gowns are being collected for the big Nationwide Tour of Gowns, which is being held at the UCF Alumni Center in March 2009. There will be brand new gowns donated from designers and bridal salons, as well as the gently used kind from "have-been" Brides themselves. Proceeds are going to benefit the Making Memories foundation which is working hard to grant wishes for terminally ill Breast Cancer Patients. If you or someone you know is interested in donating a gown, I urge you to contact me: (386) 748-8764, simplybliss_weddings@yahoo.com for more info on the process.
Please check out BridesAgainstBreastCancer.Org to see the amazing things we're doing for these women and how your support makes all the difference!
