Wedding Gown Giveaway at A L'Amour

Wedding Gown Giveaway at A L'Amour

This will be the first time Barrington’s A L’Amour bridal boutique has taken part in the Brides Across America program.  The group’s mission is to help couples who have to postpone their wedding plans due to deployments and other military commitments.  A L’Amour owner, Carol Hood, says it’s just a small way to say thanks.

Brides Across America in Barrington, IllinoisCarol says, “Right now most military are underpaid and overworked and, with the economy the way it is, it’s just our way to help them out and service them the way they service us.”  She knows first hand the sacrifices families make for the military.  Her son was deployed a year and a half ago and served as a navy pilot in the Gulf.

A L’Amour will have 150 gowns for military brides to choose from tomorrow between the hours of 10AM and 8PM tomorrow, July 13th. To qualify, brides must be engaged, on active duty in the military or have a fiancé on active duty in either Iraq or Afghanistan.  They also have to show ID, copy of deployment papers, orders or other qualifying proof, but they do not have to live in the Barrington area to qualify for A L’Amour’s giveaway.

Carol says a handful of military brides have already scheduled appointments and one is coming all the way from New York State! If you or anyone you know would qualify for this program, please call A L’Amour for more details at 847-381-5858 or visit their website at Alamour.com or visit their blog by clicking HERE.  You’ll find A L’Amour at 235 W. Northwest Highway, just west of Rte 59, in Barrington, Illinois.
