So, as it turns out, I'm getting married. We've set a date, secured a wedding venue and are well on our way to choosing a caterer. Now it seems, I need a dress. My taste in wedding dresses has proven to be a bit more expensive than I'd like, and to keep to my budget, I've been looking for ways to find an awesome gown for not that much money.
Enter Brides Against Breast Cancer. Brides Against Breast Cancer is a nationwide fundraising event for the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation. Making Memories grants wishes to both women and men who are losing their battles to breast cancer. Brides Against Breast Cancer puts on huge sales of new and used bridal gowns, bridesmaids and flower girl dresses throughout the country. A little birdie told me that there are many $5000 gowns marked down to just $1400. Who doesn't love a bargain?
The Portland sale is happening this weekend, but many other sales are scheduled in the next few weeks across the country. If all goes well, I'll save a ton of money and be able to afford the ice sculptures!

I just sent my gown off to Brides Against Breast Cancer last week. How nice to think of brides like you at one of their sales, ready to give it new life!
