Brides Against Breast Cancer (BABC) is a non-profit organization that puts on a traveling bridal gown sale. The proceeds from the sale help to fund programs for cancer patients and survivors. I’ve written about BABC before and I knew that next time they came to Houston, I wanted to help out in a big way! So this time, I helped out in all the ways that I could! I volunteered, served as the City Coordinator, and even had a booth to advertise my event  planning business, Taylor Made Events.  As the city coordinator, I had to help find vendors, promote the event, and find models for the news segment. 

Of course I chose myself to be a model! You guys know I like fitted dresses, but this was the only dress that fit over my giant hips! Y’all know wedding dresses run small!

But I did feel really bridal and I made me think of my wedding day.

This was our dressing room at Fox 26, it wasn’t that glamorous actually.

Melissa Wilson and I. I’ve watched her on the news forever!! Her voice is really that cool in person.

We had such a blast on camera and behind the scenes. Such a beautiful and fun group of women!

 The actual show was fun too! I met a ton of brides and got a ton of leads for future weddings. The atmosphere was so fun! There was food, music, photo boots, and pink champagne. Every time a bride bought a dress, they would ring a bell and we’d all clap. I tried to volunteer in the back with the wedding dresses, but I’m such a crybaby! I was getting all emotional! Even though I’m a wedding planner, I find myself crying at most weddings I attend or plan.

I really love The BABC Truck! It holds all the dresses as they drive from city to city.

These were just two of the precious brides who said yes to the dress!

This was my booth advertising Taylor Made Events. You see I bought my Grace Kelly Barbie out! #barbiecollector

This was such a fun and rewarding experience! Next time Brides Against Breast Cancer is here…I’ll be there again! You should come out too! If you aren’t in Houston! Go to their website to see when they are coming to your city!
