WHAT: Planning a summer wedding and need a gown pronto? Searching for a dress that won't break your bank account? Clear your schedule at the end of this week and head to Gateway Bridal for their Annual Sample Sale. During the three-day event, dozens of gowns are on sale from the shop's  Gateway Bridal collection (think Jasmine, Casablanca, and Blue by Enzoani), LatterDay Bride collection, Bridal Curves collection, and White Couture collection (think Amsale, Claire Pettibone, and Reem Acra). Some styles are just under $150!

How does the sale work? If you've tuned in to a sample sale episode of "Say Yes to the Dress" on TV,  you'll know the drill: The sale operates on a first-come, first-serve basis; arrive early for the best prices and selections. Brides are given one hour with a consultant to shop sale dresses and/or styles from non-sale collections.

WHERE: Gateway Bridal Showroom (178 S Rio Grande St, Ste 150—southwest corner of The Gateway—Salt Lake City)

WHEN: This Thursday, June 20 through Saturday, June 22 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Questions about the sale? Call 801-363-2574.
