[exp] [/exp]Attention brides-to-be: Your can’t-miss savings event is back. On Friday, March 18, head to Filene’s Basement for The Running of the Brides. Doors open at 8:00 a.m., but don’t be late: The racks are stripped bare within 60 seconds, at which point the bartering begins. If the brides-to-be don’t find their dream gown in their stash, they keep trading until they find the dress.
It sounds crazy, and maybe it is. But it’s a once-a-year event that many brides swear by as not only fun, but a fabulous bargain. Brides-to-be can save hundreds, or even thousands, off designer gowns, which are marked 70%-95% off. For reference: During the Running of the Brides, the dresses, which retail for $900-$10,000, cost $249, $499, & $699.
Filene’s Basement is located in Buckhead at Lenox Marketplace, 3535 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta. 404-869-4466
