Running Brides By Kirsten 79, Flickr
On Friday, February 19 at 8:00 a.m., brides-to-be will gather their girltourages and elbow their way to marked down wedding dress glory at the Filene’s Basement “Running of the Brides.” This year, the stampede will take place at Hynes Convention Center, where famous designer gowns will be on sale for $249, $499 and $699 respectively.
Excited brides should be careful not to get caught up in the moment, as dresses are not returnable. Apparently Filene’s Basement only sells wedding dresses during this annual event, and not throughout the year. While the morning run may be better targeted to more adventurous brides, Filene’s notes that the morning frenzy has moved out by by 10:00 a.m.
Hynes Convention Center is located at 900 Boylston Street in Boston’s Back Bay. For more information about the event, please visit: http://www.filenesbasement.com/bridal.php
