TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Brick and mortar bridal stores nationwide join forces to help Vows by Victoria and owner Victoria Huber from Lake Charles, LA, whose bridal salon and inventory was completely devastated by Category 4 Hurricane Laura. Through its network of independent bridal shop owners, NBRA is reaching out to the nearly 3,000 independently-owned bridal gown stores in the U.S. to coordinate efforts and help replace weddings gowns lost to brides of Vows by Victoria.
"Local bridal shop owners across the US are heartbroken for Victoria and her brides. So I am not surprised by the outpouring of support from neighborhood bridal shops across the country wanting to help replace dresses for her brides so she can focus on her family and rebuilding. We are all locally owned bridal salons and understand how important her shop is to brides in her community," states Ann Campeau, Director. Logistical planning is underway to coordinate the identification of dresses needed including style, size and color. Campeau continues, "This is a nationwide effort, we are all pulling from our individual store inventory to ship dresses to designated locations so they can be handled with care, sorted, packaged, labeled and then delivered to Victoria and her brides. Our goal is to make this national industry effort as smooth and efficient as possible for Vows by Victoria, her family and her brides."
Any locally-owned bridal salons interested in contributing dresses are encouraged to email
[email protected] to be added to the outreach list.
