Let The Salvation Army help you look fabulous on your wedding day!

More than 200 wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses and even tuxedos will be featured at The Salvation Army Family Store in downtown Seattle on Friday, January 27, Saturday, January 28 and Monday, January 30.

And, more than half of the gowns for sale at the event are brand new!

Get down to the Seattle store on 4th Avenue, South – click here for a map – and pick out a dreamy bridal gown in plenty of time for your Spring or Summer wedding.

David Puszczewicz is the Director of Operations at the Seattle store and has been working for weeks to get ready for the event. He just sent me photos of two gorgeous dresses – see above – that will be available at the sale.

Prices range from $80 to $450 (including designer labels). See, you don’t have to break the bank to look beautiful on your special day!

Remember that everything you donate to or purchase from a Salvation Army Family Store helps raise money for our Adult Rehabilitation Centers which offer no-fee, residential drug and alcohol programs for men and women in your community.
