Feature: P.I.N.K.E.D! Brides

Wednesday night at the Wedding 411/Brides Against Breast Cancer Show I had the honor of meeting Mary Beth from P.I.N.K.E.D! Brides.

I was so moved by her and what she promotes that I had to share with our brides everything I've learned.

P.I.N.K.E.D! is the first wellness and cancer prevention partner program for brides.

Mary Beth brought in a bag full of pink heels for us to wear last night! We had a blast playing dress-up backstage! She also handed me a flyer and it had some great points about women's health.

You are looking for wedding gowns, flowers, hairstylist, cakes and favors. Why not think about your wellness or cancer prevention too? Walking down the aisle knowing your health condition is certainly going to be a part of your upcoming marriage.

As many people know, cancer touches many people in different ways. Be sure to take time for yourself and those you love by talking about cancer prevention and health screenings.

Unfortunately breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. 1 in 8 women will have some form of breast cancer in their lifetime.

There are several ways to donate to help find a cure! If you are a bride, you can sport a trendy pink "I DO" on the back of your heels!

BridalShoes.com features hundreds of bridal shoes,
all under $100, and is a proud partner
of P.I.N.K.E.D! Brides.

Order shoes from My Glass Slipper’s
family of websites, and any pink
"I Do" sole applique with
coupon code “PINKED”
will receive the sole applique for free!

In addition, BridalShoes.com
& P.I.N.K.E.D! Brides
will donate 5% of your purchase to
wellness & cancer prevention outreach.

Join us as we help raise wellness awareness and cancer prevention.

Feature: Cinderella A Fairy Tale Wedding

Wow! The last two days have been a whirlwind and we couldn't be more excited to share what we've been up to. Together an amazing group of event pros (all are listed at the bottom), Wedding411 On Demand and Brides Against Breast Cancer put on a spectacular runway event. All of the proceeds raised were donated to the nationwide charity. We couldn't have been more proud of our own team to donate their time and tools to this worthy cause. Enjoy!

The Castle at Maryvale, a perfect setting for Cinderella to walk the catwalk.

We were delighted to spend both evenings helping Miss Maryland Joanna Guy prep for her Cinderella debut!

Each guest had the option to purchase a glass of champagne. With each purchase they had a chance to win a real diamond!

With back to back nights, our team rotated in and out of the library as we prepped over 15 models. A huge thanks to our UP-DO'S FOR I DO'S team who shared their talents!

A big special thank you to all involved parties! It was wonderful to have an abundance of talent in one big castle!
