Love It at Stella's Bridal and Fashions partnered with the national nonprofit Brides Across America to honor our nation’s military members and first responders on November 7, gifting gowns to 28 brides.

The special Operation Wedding Gown event offered a select group of brides the opportunity to say 'yes to the dress' completely free, as a thank you for their own or their partner’s selfless service.

Founded in 2008, Brides Across America has donated thousands of gowns nationwide and continues to spread gratitude, one wedding dress at a time.

“This is a time to be grateful and spread deserving thanks to those that have given their selfless acts of service to our country,” said Heidi Janson, founder of Brides Across America.
