Kitchener Ball Goes Glam!

Save the date for the Kitchener Brides' Ball 2009

Save the date... The Kitchener Brides' Ball has been set for Friday, June 19th, 2009 - and this year, it's going glam!

The Brides' Ball will take over Elements on King Street for an evening, filling up the venue with men and women in bridal gowns, bridesmaids dresses, tuxes and sexy suits. Think 'celebrity after-party' meets The Brides' Ball.

The event will run from 7:30 pm to 2 am and include cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, dancing, the 'tiara shop' and more. An online auction of products and services donated by local retailers and wedding professionals is scheduled to go live in May. Being held downtown and on a Friday night will allow even more people to attend this year - with the guest list set at 200.

The Kitchener Brides' Ball gives women of all ages and marital status a fabulous reason to ‘don a tiara’ and feel like a princess for the night. With tag lines like ‘Wear your gown again’ and ‘Tiara’s mandatory’ the dress code of the event is ‘Bridal or Formal’ meaning bridal gowns, bridesmaid dresses, ball gowns, cocktail dresses, suits and tuxedos are all welcome attire at The Brides’ Ball. "Every woman wants to wear her wedding gown again. And every man wants to play Prince Charming once in a while," says Anne Warren, Sales Director for TheWeddingRing.ca and Producer of The Ball. Warren, who is planning to wear a bridal gown, says, "After all, we spend a small fortune on a dress that we only get to wear once and we're very emotionally attached to it…" TheWeddingRing.ca had been looking for an excuse to let brides wear their gowns again when they developed The Brides’ Ball. "It was the perfect opportunity for a community of women - and their soul mates - to get all dressed up and experience a night they’ll always remember, in support of a great cause."

QUICKER, BETTER & EARLIER BREAST CANCER SCREENING, CLOSE TO HOME
The Brides' Ball will prove there's strength in numbers. Awareness and funds will be raised for the Waterloo-Wellington Breast Centre (WWBC) at the Grand River Hospital. The WWBC is home to a regional breast assessment service and the Ontario Breast Screening Program (OBSP), where patients are referred to by physicians and radiologists when abnormalities are detected. The OBSP service enables patients access to the new digital mammography technology, that has been proven better at detecting breast cancer in younger women, pre-menopausal women and women with dense breast tissue. By supporting the screening program and the clinic, we're able to help increase screening for all women in the Waterloo-Wellington region and provide quicker assessment for all women.

WHO
Everyone who is 19+ is invited - Company owners and their staff, brides & grooms, married couples, single ladies (pull that bridesmaid gown out of your closet!) and friends are welcome to don a tiara at The Brides' Ball.
