Second Chance at Love: Local Salon to Provide Battered Women Wedding Gowns

Every bride deserves a white wedding­, so is teaming up with The Drake House to provide some very deserving brides the white wedding gown they've always dreamed of for their second chance at love.

The Drake House - a crisis residential assessment center for homeless women and children in North Fulton - provides immediate residential housing, combined with an empowerment program designed to provide stability for women and children, while the family works toward self sufficiency. Salon De La Vie recognized that as these newly empowered women were moving on from their often rocky pasts to find true love, many were not able to afford the gown of their dreams.

To help, the salon is now ­asking locals to open up their heart and donate a wedding gown. In exchange, Salon De La Vie is offering 50 percent off a one time visit for every gown donated.

"Open your heart and help these brides feel like princesses for a day," states a release sent out by the salon.

The salon will accept donated wedding dresses of all sizes. The dresses can be dropped off at Salon De La Vie from Friday, June 1 through Saturday, June 30 during their regular hours of operation, Tuesday thru Saturday.

Salon De La Vie is located at 1217 Canton Street, Roswell. For more information on The Drake House visit their website.
