Never Before Seen Bridal Sample Sale

Bridal-Sample-Sale-Feature

There are so many components to a wedding, big and small. However, I would say one of the most important and special parts is the gown. Julie here today, and I got married just about two months ago. Planning the wedding with my mom was, by far, one of the most incredible times in my life, and finding THE gown was the cherry on top. There is something so magical about shopping for your wedding gown.

I got my bridal gown at Joan Pillow Bridal Salon here in Houston, and every time I walked into that store for my fittings I felt like all the stress and craziness of the outside world just kind of faded away as you entered this gorgeous white bubble.

You can imagine my excitement when I heard about this never before seen bridal gown sample sale happening next week where Joan Pillow takes the helm, along with many of her best friends and finest stores in the business come together to sell their gowns! Granted, my wedding is over and done with, but I’m just so excited for those future brides who are wedding gown shopping and can now get theirs at a fraction of the retail cost. Talk about a major win!
