Attention Philly/NJ brides!

Weddingbee reader Anne L. kindly emailed me about this amazing sale going on in Pennsauken, New Jersey, this Saturday (Valentine's Day!). The Goodwill location at 5461 Route 70 will be selling wedding gowns.... Now, I know what you're thinking, and these are not just any wedding gowns that women donated from their 1986 wedding (complete with puffy sleeves). Nope; the good people of Goodwill went door-to-door to area bridal stores asking for donations, and acquired modern gowns to sell to the public at very, very generous prices.

This article from 6abc.com says:

Used gowns will sell for about $50, while new designer sample gowns will cost up to $300. A Reem Acra New York that originally sold for about $1200 will cost $250 at the sale. A Jasmine Haute Couture gown that originally sold for about $900 will cost about $200 at the sale.

The store will also have tuxedos, flower-girl dresses and accessories at significant discounts.

Of course, a sale like this does not happen every day, so you might want to arrive before the doors open at 9 a.m. if you are hoping to get your hands on one of these bargains.... it's worth a shot, as you never know what great deal you may find!

These photos aren't the greatest, but give you a small glimpse into what they'll be offering. If the sale is successful, it will become an annual event.

Happy shopping!
