In a heartfelt effort to support families touched by breast cancer, Nashville‑area bridal retailer Magnolia Laine Bridal announced a special giveaway for a bride who is currently fighting or has survived the disease. The initiative is dedicated to the late Elizabeth Stevens, a former employee who dreamed of opening her own Magnolia Laine boutique before passing away from metastatic breast cancer in 2023.
How the giveaway works
One bride will be selected to receive a “Dream Dress Shopping Experience” at any Magnolia Laine location, including the chain’s Nashville store. The prize package includes:
- Up to $4,000 toward the purchase of a wedding gown
- A personalized VIP appointment with a Magnolia Laine stylist
- An optional feature on the company’s website and social‑media channels
Entries are open until the end of the month and can be submitted online at magnolialainebridal.com/for-elizabeth.
Supporting cancer research
Beyond the giveaway, Magnolia Laine Bridal is donating a portion of every gown sold this month to fund breast cancer research. The company says the contributions will help advance scientific studies aimed at finding better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
Remembering Elizabeth Stevens
Elizabeth Stevens joined Magnolia Laine Bridal after moving to Nashville and quickly became known for her warm personality and dedication to helping brides feel beautiful on their big day. Her dream of opening a boutique of her own was cut short by her diagnosis, but her spirit lives on through this program.
“Elizabeth’s love for brides and her courage in the face of cancer inspired us to create something that would honor her legacy,” said a Magnolia Laine spokesperson. “We hope this giveaway brings hope and joy to another family while also contributing to the fight against breast cancer.”
Community response
The announcement has resonated with local residents, many of whom have personal connections to breast cancer. Several community members have already shared stories of loved ones affected by the disease and expressed gratitude for the bridal shop’s generosity.
