NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A popular bridal shop chain is doing its part to support families impacted by breast cancer.

This month, Magnolia Laine Bridal is donating a portion of every gown sold to fund cancer research. On top of that, the chain is holding a special giveaway for a bride impacted by the disease.

Through a new initiative, Magnolia Laine Bridal is giving a bride who is currently fighting or who has survived breast cancer a wedding dress and special experiences. The effort is being done in honor of Elizabeth Stevens, who dreamed of opening her own Magnolia Laine boutique before passing away from metastatic breast cancer in 2023.

One bride will be selected to receive:

  • A Dream Dress Shopping Experience at any Magnolia Laine location, including the Nashville branch
  • Up to $4,000 toward her wedding gown
  • A personalized VIP appointment with a Magnolia Laine stylist
  • An optional feature on Magnolia Laine's website and social channels

Entries are open until the end of the month and brides can enter at https://www.magnolialainebridal.com/for-elizabeth.

The skies were closed on 9/11. A Nashville phone call helped save a baby’s life

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
