I am proud to report that we raised over $37,000 at the 2007 Atlanta Brides Against Breast Cancer Charity Wedding Gown sale that was held at Lambert Place in late March. That brings the total funds that AtlantaBridal.com has raised for the Making Memories Foundation to over $100,000! That is very exciting! Thanks again to all of the volunteers, vendors and brides who made this happen. Please check out the pictures and YouTube.com video to learn more about this event!
 Thursday night was the limited attendance Sneak Preview event. It was a fabulous party with a special guest, delicious food, pink wine and a fabulous cake! We raised over $9,000 in just three hours that evening. This is a picture of the room in Lambert Place where we had the party.

 Alisa Hendersen from Star94's "Super Shopper" on the Steve & Vikki Morning Show was our special guest and she gave away some fabulous door prizes. Alisa included our gown sale on her Web site as a great place to buy a wedding gown! Thanks Alisa and Star94!

 Our cake was donated by Mark Brickman of Baker's Man. I cannot describe how yummy this cake was. Everyone was talking about how delicious it was. Thanks Mark! The cake was perfect!

 The food for the Thursday evening Sneak Preview event was provided by Lambert Place. The food was absolutely delicious and perfect for this type of cocktail party. Thanks to Cynthia and Gina at Lambert Place for doing such a great job on this event.

 This year we gave away some fabulous door prizes and every bride that came through got a gift bag. brides at the Sneak Preview event got a special gift from BugCatcherz.

 We also had representatives from the G Salon in Midtown at the sale providing free hair and makeup services to brides. This was a fun added benefit! I even had my hair and makeup done!
