‘Wedding in a Week’ Giveaway Event!

Wedding in a Week, a large-scale giveaway event, involving 23 of the industry's top wedding vendors, launches today, Monday September 28th on The Broke-Ass Bride (http://www.thebrokeassbride.com/).

With 11 separate giveaways for brides-to-be and beyond to enter, the event aims to give budget brides a (possibly huge) break.

The event runs the week of September 28 - October 5, 2009.

Dana LaRue, founder of The Broke-Ass Bride is giving readers a chance to win over $11,000 in prizes, donated from companies of all shapes and sizes, with new prizes being revealed and giveaways starting twice and sometimes three times, daily. Prizes include a free custom couture wedding gown, wedding photography packages, invitations, card boxes, dance floor monograms, custom maps, choreographed first dance and lessons, veils, garters, bouquets, flowers, ceremony accessories, skin care products and more!

Winners will be announced the following week on The Broke-Ass Bride.

“I'm ecstatic to be offering such a stellar array of prizes,” LaRue says, “I wanted to give away practically a whole wedding's worth of prizes over a week, and break them down into separate but concurrent events, so people can pick and choose what they want or need to enter and win. I was a broke bride myself, so its thrilling to now give back to brides like myself out there, who are desperately stretching their dollars to make their own weddings dreamy and memorable. Many generous companies helped me to have a spectacular wedding within my budget, so its a meaningful way to honor the vendors, too. It's a win-win, a way to help everyone! What could be better?"
