Wedding Dresses, Prom & Bridesmaid Gowns to be Deeply Discounted

More than 350 wedding dresses and 400 bridesmaid and prom gowns will be sold at bargain prices during Goodwill’s Bridal Extravaganza sale March 19-22 at the Rivergate Goodwill store, 2101 Gallatin Road in Madison.

Prices for wedding gowns will range from $49.99 to $399.99, depending on the quality and type. Prom dresses will be priced as low as $19.99. Brand names such as Maggie Sottero and popular styles in short and long lengths and many colors and sizes are available. Much of the merchandise was donated by local bridal stores.

“This sale is a once-a-year chance for brides-to-be, bridesmaids and prom-goers to find the dress of their dreams at an amazing price,” said Goodwill Retail District Manager Jennifer Martin. “Our entire stock of these dresses will be on the floor from the start of the sale, so I encourage shoppers to come early.”

The kickoff of the Bridal Extravaganza, which will include refreshments and giveaways, will be from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 19.  The dresses, as well as formal shoes, veils and jewelry, will be found in a featured section at the front of the store.

Shoppers can gain early entrance to the sale, to browse and purchase dresses as much as an hour before the general public, by making a $25 donation at the door. These VIP passes can be obtained from 5-6 a.m. Gift bags will be provided to all VIPs.

The sale will continue throughout normal business hours Saturday. Then, on Sunday, March 20, Bridal Extravaganza merchandise will be discounted by 25 percent. On the following two days — Monday, March 21, and Tuesday, March 22 — remaining sales items will be marked down by 50 percent.
