Thank You from Our Hearts!!


Read below for the "gasp" moment story!
This is how our models felt after the Brides on a Dime Fashion Show!
This is also how elated our bride attendees felt after meeting 
so many talented vendors with golden deals.
Thanks to all who participated at the Brides on a Dime Expo!
St. Anthony's Bridal was so blessed by so much support from vendors to volunteers to models.

We invite you to peruse the photos taken at the fashion show.

About seven professional photographers were snapping away 
during the Brides on a Dime Fashion Show, 
when DJ Tom Gavin introduced the wedding gowns to the crowd... 
whether it's worth $3,000 or $500, all wedding gowns at St. Anthony's Bridal cost $150, open on Saturdays 10am to 12 noon in Bethesda, MD. 
The audience gasped. 
Suddenly, every bride in the room realized that these beautiful gowns 
displayed on the stage, modeled by these beautiful women, 
were only $150 each! Attainable! 

The brides suddenly saw themselves in these beautiful gowns! 
You can too.
