On Nov 11th, 40 military brides in Savannah, Georgia will trade in fatigues for beautiful Alfred Angelo bridal gowns. Alfred Angelo, the world’s leading maker of wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses, in partnership with Operation Homefront-Georgia, will dress these military brides from all service branches for Savannah’s first multi-military wedding on Veteran’s Day. The ceremonies will take place throughout the city, in three different locales. Each couple will have their own personal ceremony for their guests.

Alfred Angelo Veteran's Day Wedding Becky Byous, part of the Savannah Wedding and Tourism Council spearheaded the Weddings for Warriors event with her husband, James Byous, Savannah Wedding and Tourism Council President and local photographer. Says James, "The project was conceived as a way of saying a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to active duty military personnel in Savannah and the Low Country. We want to offer as many free wedding ceremonies for active duty military personnel as possible."

Each bride was invited to choose her special Alfred Angelo gown at a hotel just outside the Ft. Stewart base, where many of the brides are stationed. As part of their on-going partnership with the national non-profit Operation Homefront, to date, Alfred Angelo has donated 480 wedding gowns to military service women and brides-to-be of military service men.

Amanda Sheronas, Director of PR and Events for Alfred Angelo says, "Partnering with the Savannah Wedding and Tourism Council and Operation Homefront-Georgia for this wedding spectacular has been a wonderful experience for the company. We are proud that Alfred Angelo has been able to bring so much joy and happiness to the military community in the face of on-going deployments and a struggling economy."

In addition to their partnership with the Armed Forces through Operation Homefront’s many local chapters, Alfred Angelo announced a Military Discount for service women and brides of service men in June 2009. Military brides will be offered a 15% discount on any Alfred Angelo bridal gown purchased at an Alfred Angelo-owned flagship bridal store. As an extra bonus, military brides can also take advantage of $25 off bridesmaid gowns at the time of their bridal gown purchase. A valid military ID is necessary for all purchases. Military brides can view the latest collection and locate the closest Alfred Angelo owned bridal store at the Alfred Angelo website.
