The 2010 Premiere Night and Bridal Showcase Were a Success!

Both events were ideal for women looking for the wedding dress of their dreams. 

Shoppers anxiously waiting to see the beautiful dresses on Premiere Night, Friday, February 19.

The first 100 guests received complementary gift bags brimming with samples and coupons, plus a copy of MSP Magazines' Bridal Edition. Premiere night was a special opportunity to shop the amazing selection of dresses while enjoying complementary appetizers from Bucca Di Beppo in a relaxed atmosphere.

There were gowns to suit all tastes.  Prices ranged from $99 to $399. Many of them were new or sample dresses with original tags, donated by bridal stores in the Twin Cities area.

Volunteers were on hand to assist women with looking through the vast selection of over 1,000 dresses.

Many women shopped the bridesmaid, flower girl, special occasion dresses and accessories in a kalidiscope of colors. 

Vendors were there to offer expert advice on cakes, flowers, catering, photography and more.

A Silent Auction of stunning designer dresses, including Vera Wang, and Reem Acra. Shoppers placed bids on the dress of their choice at a staggering discount on the original prices.

Proceeds from the Bridal Showcase events and silent auction go toward the mission of Goodwill/Easter Seals of assisting people with barriers to employment and education.
