BRIDES ON A BUDGET ARE BACK IN NEW SEASON OF TLC'S "I FOUND THE GOWN"

Season three premieres Friday, April 25 at 10/9c

New season features online gown giveaway at TLC.com

New York, NY - Designer gowns are desirable but not always affordable for most brides in search of their ideal wedding dress, but Rick and Leslie DeAngelo are back on their mission to change that in season three of TLC's I FOUND THE GOWN, premiering on April 25 at 10/9c. The proud owners of VOWS in Watertown, Mass., search high and low for discount designer dresses and bring their loot back to their bridal boutique to help brides' dreams come true. From closeouts and back rooms to liquidations and warehouses, no stone goes unturned in their quest for fabulous, yet discounted gowns for bargaining fashionistas and budget-conscious brides.

Back in TLC's BrideDay Friday lineup, the premiere episode highlights the annual "Gown Rush" at VOWS where hundreds of brides flock to the store for the monumental event. With more than 800 gowns lining the racks, the dedicated brides and their entourages rifle through the dresses in hopes to find their dream dress. As a special incentive, the lucky brides who find dresses with gold coins sewn in them get to walk away with their gown for free.

For the first time ever, beginning on April 25, I FOUND THE GOWN viewers can enter online all season long for a chance to win their very own dream dress at TLC.com/ifoundthegown.

I FOUND THE GOWN is produced by Half Yard Productions for TLC.
