Timeless Elegance: A Wedding Dress Showcase – A Celebration of Bridal Beauty and Giving Back Meadville, PA – Join us on May 3, 2025, for Timeless Elegance: A Wedding Dress Showcase, an event that combines bridal fashion with philanthropy. Hosted by Hospice of Crawford County at the Italian Civic Club in Meadville, this showcase features a collection of wedding gowns designed and altered by Jean Johns, a Board Member of Hospice of Crawford County, celebrating her work throughout the decades. Doors open at 11:30 a.m., offering an exclusive first look at Jean's timeless wedding gowns, each showcasing her unique style and meticulous craftsmanship. Whether you’re a bride-to-be or a lover of fashion, you'll be inspired by the elegance and artistry of her designs. Jean’s decision to support Hospice of Crawford County is deeply personal. After losing a dear friend to cancer, Jean was touched by the compassionate care her friend received from Hospice. Jean was able to be there for her friend during one of the most difficult times in her life, and this experience inspired her to give back to an organization that helped her be a true friend when it mattered most. The event will also include a basket raffle, 50/50 raffle, door prizes, and specialty cocktails at the cash bar. After a delicious luncheon, the day’s highlight will be a fashion show, where models will walk the runway in Jean’s exemplary wedding dresses, highlighting the beauty and history of her creations. Timeless Elegance supports Hospice of Crawford County, with all proceeds benefiting their crucial care for families and patients in the community. Tickets are $40 in advance (starting February 17, 2025) or $45 at the door, with limited availability. Purchase tickets at Hospice of Crawford County, French Creek Framing & Fine Art, or the Crawford County Convention & Visitors Bureau. Don’t miss this afternoon of bridal beauty and community support.
