Brides Purchase Wedding Gowns with Breast Cancer Research Stamps

Online, January 19, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Fran Hansen, renowned wedding expert, author, event planner, breast cancer advocate, and one of Oprah's Angels, introduces her latest inspiration, Brides Miracle Network, during the upcoming FABulous Bridal Affair, to Seattle/Bellevue metropolitan area brides-to-be. Creating a bridal frenzy with over 1,000 fabulous, new, designer and couture wedding gowns available for sale at up to 85% off original prices, Hansen shares her vision of brides helping to fund a cure for breast cancer, while planning the wedding of their dreams. This FAB event to be held Saturday and Sunday, January 28 - 29 at the Bellevue Westin, 600 Bellevue Way, NE.

Hansen encourages brides-to-be to purchase 100 Breast Cancer Research Stamps prior to attending FABulous Bridal Affairs nationwide, where she and teammates will accept each 55 cent stamp at nearly double their face value, giving brides up to an additional $100 off their wedding gowns when paying in part for their purchase with the research stamp.

Dr. Ernie Bodai, CEO of CureBreastCancer, Inc., stated in a recent interview "I am honored and humbled that Fran Hansen and Brides Miracle Network, and her Fabulous Bridal Affairs, have undertaken this incredible project to encourage the bridal community to advocate for the use of the Breast Cancer Research Stamp in bridal communications. This effort will make a significant contribution to our finding a cure in the very near future."

Believing her passion in raising funds for the breast cancer community far surpasses her ability to sell a gown to every bride in America, Hansen further envisions her campaign of adding tens of millions of dollars to the cause be accomplished by encouraging the over 2,000,000 couples planning a wedding in the United States each year, to send their stationary via the popular Breast Cancer Research stamp.

When interviewed, Hansen commented "if only 10% of the brides in this country would commit to sending their "Save the Date" cards, "Wedding Invitations", pre-stamped "Reply" cards, and "Thank You" cards, with the research stamp, an amount exceeding
6.6 million dollars could be raised every year. Imagine if we could double, triple, or quadruple the number of brides and wedding retailers nationwide choosing to join the network of those committed to help."

FABulous Bridal Affair gown sale events are planned to take place in 30 cities across the U.S. in the coming months. For further information, also please visit www.bridesmiraclenetwork.com or www.fabulousaffordablebridal.com.
