Why do brides need help?

Well it's Thursday. . . time for a #TBT fromDresstravaganza I want to introduce you to Kylie. . . she is an amazing woman and we were truly honored to help her create a dream wedding. 

I've had many people ask why would a bride need help? They should have been preparing for this special day or family should help? 

I think Kylie's story explains it all! Sometimes making dreams come true just doesn't allow much time to plan! 

We were able to not only help Kylie with her wedding but go on to help her get her GED, go back to school to become a professional nail tech. 

This created a full circle where she was able to come and volunteer her nail services back into the Dresstravaganza program for local teens! SO AWESOME! It give me chills! Thank you Kylie for sharing your story!

You have a beautiful family now and have been a blessing to so many even through the struggles and pain and we are blessed to know you!  Almost five years down and a lifetime to go!  Thank you to those who donated a dream dress and so much more to Kylie!  If a pair of shoes can change a life, think what a dress can do!

How to donate a wedding dress!

Did you know that we are building a wedding program to be able to help bride's in need who may otherwise not be able to afford to wear a wedding gown on their special day?  We need to have 100 dresses to start the program and we are at 25.  If you have a dress that is just collecting dust, would you consider dusting it off and helping to make dreams come true?

There are so many beautiful dresses that are just collecting dust!  Let's work together to get this program up and going!  This is our 6th year helping local teens with prom and to date we have outfitted over 750 deserving young ladies!  We recently were blessed with a beautiful 2700 square foot store front inside the Boise Outlets. . .  we have dreamed of opening this program for years and now have the space to do so and to do it in style!

We just recently received this beautiful David's Bridal size 20 gown and matching veil from a local lady!  We have also had dresses donated from all across the USA.  It is easy to ship them.  We suggest removing the hanger and all paper forms . . fold and roll it into the smallest size possible. . . place inside a plastic bag and the smallest box possible.  We will clean, steam and press the dress upon receiving it and it will look brand new again.  I promise!

  recipient!  We thought you would enjoy.  We are all on a journey and all have dynamic events happening in our lives.  We are so thankful we were able to help you and make your dreams come true!
• • In 2011 (my senior year) my parents went through a horrible divorce leaving my mom and I homeless. Months before my graduation I moved to a new school. Needless to say my senior year was devastating and I had no desire to even think about trying to afford prom or trying to find a date among hundreds of people I didn't know. But my childhood friend asked me to prom  leaving me with the stress and desire to find a gorgeous dress and too look amazing (because who doesn't want to impress their prom date?) So my darling loving mom found 

    • Dresstravaganza And took me to find a dress the next day. After trying on several gorgeous dresses and being treated like a princess, I found the most beautiful gold and maroon ball gown. I felt excited for prom for the first time.  now 3 years after my prom date and I are getting married. All the girls at dresstravaganza made my dream come true. Thank you girls so much. You have touched many hearts.
