A sweet little package from San Fran....




I was out picking up a wonderful dress today (thanks Lisa), and came home to a package on my front step. This package contained a simply lovely dress from a bride in San Fran. What makes this package even more special is that the bride had contacted me before her wedding day to say that after her wedding she wanted to donate the dress. She was able to share her plans with her family and friends at her wedding ...we made up a little sign for her to post at her reception...and then here is the dress today. Thanks Liana for your commitment to share your dress with us (and for cleaning and shipping it to us), and for hopefully starting a trend of brides planning to donate before the big day even is upon them. Here is a sneak peak of this beauty...and we have several precious dresses all donated by amazing brides! Thanks to all the brides that have already shared their dresses with us. And to those that are about to come. :)

The Brides' Project, Toronto, Canada

This past weekend I travelled to Toronto to visit the original Brides' Project. It was truly inspiring to see how busy they were. In the short time I was there I saw several brides trying on dresses, and a few find the one of their dreams. I also saw two dresses come in for donation and one bride called her order in via phone. I am excited about all this happening as we grow here in the US. Thanks to all those who have donated dresses already, and to those that keep my inbox buzzing daily with offers to donate. Michigan has been great this past week with inquires all across the state. I'll be doing some driving to get these pre-loved dresses to join our collection, but it is worth it!

If you found this site and were hoping to buy a dress, check back in the new year. We are almost where we need to be to start selling our amazing dresses. They will all be available online (to be shipped anywhere) as well as available in Ann Arbor, for those who are local.

If you have a dress to donate, please contact us...if not, please email us and ask how you can help. We have many needs. We are 100% volunteer based so all the help and support we can get is truly appreciated.

Thanks!!
