After seeing the flower donating thread I thought I would share the information on bridal gown donation.
I absolutely loved my bridal gown, but did not want to pay big $$$ to have it cleaned and preserved. I also didn't have any place to store it, so I did some research and decided to pay it forward and donate my wedding gown.
I found a not for profit online called 'The Bridal Garden'. The dress itself will be resold and all the proceeds go to benefit over 3,000 disadvantaged children and their families through educational, welfare, career development and health care programs.
Bridal Garden is located in NYC, (around the block from Kleinfelds) and I made an appointment and dropped off the dress on a Saturday afternoon.
I can't tell you how thrilled I am. Aside from being able to help children, I also benefit from the donation tax write-off.
