Give Back to Military and First Responder Couples

The Alexandria Wedding Showcase is a benefit for Brides Across America, a national nonprofit that provides wedding gowns and entire weddings to both military and first responder couples nationwide. During the Showcase 20 brides chosen by the charity will select free gowns donated by Brides Across America. In addition, $2 from each ticket sold to the Wedding Showcase will be donated to Brides Across America.

The Alexandria Wedding Showcase highlights the character, charm and beauty of celebrating love by holding a destination wedding in Alexandria, a popular wedding location due to its walkability, timeless history, beautiful waterfront setting, proximity to D.C., and easy access to many East Coast cities.

Last year, more than 500 guests attended the event, which featured special guest Monte Durham, co-host and fashion director of TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta.”
