A Red-Carpet Bridal Shop for Low-Budget Brides

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bethesda, Maryland, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) June 5, 2011 -- The register rings up … $600, $800, $1,200, $3,000, and beyond. Once a bride finds the gown of her dreams, the price tag may cause shock, but it’s the bridal gown she’s dreamed of wearing since childhood, and the gown she imagines wearing down the aisle.

What if any gown in that bridal shop, no matter its retail, sold for $150?

Hard to believe – unless that bridal dress shop is a nonprofit. Right behind White Flint Mall in North Bethesda, MD, St. Anthony’s Bridal operates as a nonprofit organization with a mission to help the bride and groom meet their individual budget’s bottom line. While its primary benefits help brides on a budget of $3,000 or less, any bride may visit the shop and find hundreds of wedding gowns, many donated from last season, with the tags still in place! What’s the bottom line cost? $150 plus Maryland sales tax.

The list of wedding offerings doesn’t end there. Brides who visit find deals for wedding veils from $10 to $50 each. Directors and volunteers happily provide a list of vendors who provide discounted services instead of taking advantage of the often-inflated prices specific to wedding clients.

At this nonprofit bridal shop, visitors often hear a bride cheerfully say, “I can’t believe I found this place! Everyone here is so happy! I’m telling everyone I know about St. Anthony’s Bridal.”

St. Anthony’s Bridal, www.stanthonysbridal.com, is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization operating under the trade name, St. Anthony’s Bread, Inc. EIN 52-2191053. St. Anthony’s Bridal believes in helping qualifying brides by providing free use of a wedding gown, and free use of bridal accessories, bridesmaid dresses, and wedding reception items including: table linens, chair covers, dinnerware, glassware, and even a chocolate fountain.

St. Anthony’s Bridal sole mission is to serve the frugal bride with real budgets, real dreams, and a real desire to get married on a budget. We are open on Saturdays from 10am – 12pm and Monday thru Friday by appointment only. St. Anthony’s Bridal joyfully serves brides of all faiths and beliefs.
