What is National Bridal Sale Day?

National Bridal Sale Day is a day of celebration where beautiful brides get to create their perfect bridal look while enjoying incredible savings! 

From stunning designer gowns to the perfect finishing accessories, The Bridal Collection offered exceptional quality at accessible prices, all while creating a wedding dress shopping experience brides will cherish for years to come.

One Day. Hundreds of Brides. Countless YES! Moments

Brides braved the Colorado heat to turn up the heat on their own wedding day with incredible discounts! A line had already formed outside of our store by the early hours of Saturday morning and they were ready for the long haul! Camping chairs, blankets, complimentary coffee, snacks and even a mattress could be found as they counted down the minutes until the doors opened. We could feel YES! moments just around the corner! 

The moment the clock hit 7:00am, our showroom transformed into a treasure hunt! Brides headed straight toward the gowns they’d been eyeing on our social media accounts, while others found unexpected favorites waiting on the racks. Our TBC Team was ready to guide brides to discover their look, knowing that NBSD is more than a sale, it’s a dream come true. With our incredible team and even more incredible prices, saying YES! was easier than ever! 

After months of planning, hundreds of gowns and one unforgettable event day later, National Bridal Sale Day reminded us again why it’s one of our favorite traditions of the year.

Special Highlights:

  • Last year’s arrival time record was smashed by this year’s excited participants. Our first bride got here at 9:45…PM… the day before! 
  • Designer dresses that traditionally cost thousands of dollars were taken home for anywhere between $199 – $1,199.
  • Completing the look was easy with our selection of discounted veils, belts, sleeves and shawls. 
  • Big thank you to Goodhart Coffee and Elevated Spirits Colorado for fueling our brides as they waited for their turn to find their perfect dress and Wed Society for educating on everything wedding-related!

Real Bride Testimonials

“Thank you to The Bridal Collection for wonderful customer service and for doing this event. We didn’t know if it would be worth it when we decided to drive the 4 hours over and start waiting in line at 2:30 in the morning. But it definitely was! Not only did my daughter get her dress (that she could have never afforded without the sale) but she also received a wonderful, fun experience and was helped by your amazing staff. Great job!!!"

“The Bridal Collection makes wedding dress shopping such a fun and memorable experience! I am at one of their bridal sample sales, and while there was a line to get in, it only added to the excitement. Everyone was so happy to be there, and the energy was contagious. Despite how busy the event was, everything was incredibly well organized. The staff kept the line moving smoothly, communicated clearly, and made sure every bride felt taken care of. Once inside, the consultants were so kind, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping each bride find the perfect dress. It was amazing to see such a large event run so seamlessly. Between the incredible selection, unbeatable sample sale prices, and welcoming atmosphere, it was an experience I’d absolutely recommend to any bride. The Bridal Collection truly knows how to make finding your dress feel special—even during one of their biggest sale events!”
