Brides dream of having the perfect dress, and a beautiful gown is an essential part of every bride's special day. Brides Across America plays a role in making their dreams come true by giving a military bride a free wedding gown. Events are held twice a year in partnership with bridal salons across the country. When you buy a specially tagged dress from Tulle Bridal, a portion of the proceeds supports our local charities such as Brides Across America, Lazarus House, and Prom Project.
In 2008, Heidi Janson, owner of Tulle Bridal, founded Brides Across America. She was inspired to do something special to express gratitude for the dedicated men and women of the United Sates Armed Forces. Brides Across America began its work with a small network that donated time and resources to head up the inaugural program. In that first year fifty gowns were given away to military brides. To date Brides Across America has given over 20,000 free wedding gowns to military brides.
As a tax-exempt organization, Brides Across America provides required information to the major charitable organization reporting organizations –- Charity Navigator and GuideStar. You may review the profiles compiled by these organizations by clicking on the logos below.
Brides Across America garnered the attention of NBC's Nightly News, Steve Harvey, The Doctors Show, and featured in People Magazine. However, the highest honor was received during a 2012 White House event by Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden. The event recognized twenty organizations for their contributions to improving the lives of military families. Brides Across America continues to support wounded warriors, post traumatic stress and employment for veterans.
