Wedding News

Ever wondered what it would be like to walk down the aisle in your very own designer wedding gown?

The National Breast Cancer Foundation ‘Brides for Breast Cancer’ program will allow Australian brides to do just that as Design Ambassadors, Charlie Brown, Nevenka, Camilla Franks, Steven Khalil, Amanda Garrett, Jacqui Alexander and Luci Di Bella come together to support breast cancer research and showcase the unique talents which have elevated them to the forefront of the Australian design industry.

The ‘Brides for Breast Cancer’ program will see each of these designers design and produce one bridal gown which will then be sold through an online auction coinciding with Breast Cancer Month this October.

Design of the gowns is intended to celebrate women and the union of marriage within the unique style of each designer. Bidding for the gowns is open to all Australians and funds raised through the auction will be donated to support high quality research into the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer in Australian women.

Renowned Australian designer and NBCF supporter Charlie Brown agrees, “I hope this initiative helps more women enjoy their own wedding day, or the wedding day of someone close to them. I’m supporting ‘Brides for Breast Cancer’ because everyone deserves the opportunity to give their special day that extra sparkle!”

To be in the running to bid on one of the six gowns, bidders should register their details at Ebay. The auction begins on 18 October 2007. Further information is available on Ebay’s seller profile page.

Anyone wishing to view the gowns in person may do so throughout the month of October in Melbourne’s Chadstone Shopping Centre.
