WHAT: Summer's care-free, sun-filled days are numbered (*sigh*), but on the bright side, end-of-season sales are beginning to emerge. Of particular interest to local brides-to-be, downtown SLC's The Brides' Shop is hosting their End-of-Summer Sample Sale.

Gowns by Pronovias, Sarah Seven, San Patrick, Intuzuri, Robert Bullock, Mia Solano, Lis Simon, and Alva are marked down as much as 80% off. Have a gown but need accessories? Shoes, veils, boleros, belts, and jewelry are 50% off. Bonus: The first 10 brides to book an appointment during the sale will nab a free gift just for trying on a gown.

WHERE: The Brides' Shop (430 East South Temple, Salt Lake City)

WHEN: Now through the end of August

HOW: Appointments are required—call 801-322-4324.
