Brides Against Breast Cancer Wedding Gowns

So South Carolina isn't exactly right next door but it may be worth a weekend drive to save a ton on a designer gown AND help out a great cause!

Brides Against Breast Cancer has gown sales all over the country every year where you can buy BRAND NEW or slightly used designer growns for a tiny fraction of the price. All the money they raise goes to Making Memories to help grant the wishes of terminally ill women with breast cancer.

When they're not on the road you can visit them at their warehouse in Santee, SC. Here is a little bit from their website:

"NO STATE OF SC SALES TAX.

Find New York style and Southern hospitality at this unique Brides Against Breast Cancer warehouse/boutique – one shopping experience that's well worth the trip.

Browse 7,700 square feet of racks packed with thousands of Bridal Gowns(sizes 4 to 40), veils, headpieces, crinolines, shoes and other wedding accessories -- plus a huge selection of Special Occasion Dresses for members of the wedding party (including flower girls), debutantes, pageant queens, prom, ball and party-goers.

Whether you love glamour and glitz or understated elegance, you’ll find it, and more, in our relaxed, fun surroundings.

Bridals, in current, best-selling styles from over 100 designers, retailers and manufacturers, are bargain priced from $99 to $699 – for gowns with retail values to $2,500, including runway samples direct from New York industry fashion shows."

They are open on Fridays and Saturdays 10-Noon; 1:30-4:30 pm and Sundays 1:30–4:30 pm (at other times by appoinment for bridals).
