    The Filene’s Basement’s annual bridal sale stampede The wedding dress sale known as “The Running of the Brides” just hit Aventura, Florida and New York City this week.                Looks like nobody told these women that they can find great deals on designer wedding dresses on Recycled Bride from the comfort of their couches. So they lined up at 3am in the blustery cold, then weathered a veritable bridal riot to find the dress of their dreams. While this sounds just awful to me (I sometimes have nightmares that look like this video after working too many hours R...

    Had to do it. Had to check out the Running of Brides phenomena at Filene’s Basement in Aventura recently. I have heard countless stories of brides finding their dream designer dresses at rock bottom prices – like thousands less. So this year when Slim Fast invited to me to attend as a guest, I happily obliged to witness the frenzy firsthand. You can’t imagine what a woman would do to get her dream wedding gown at a bargain price. Let’s just say, it is a very serious matter. Below is Susan of team “Booz’n Susan.” She and her posse were there since 6:00 p.m. the day prior. Withi...

    The sign that makes brides lose their mind! This past Friday, Running of the Brides took place at Filene’s Basement here in Atlanta, Georgia. I have to honest, it was everything that I expected. Brides Running? Check. Dresses strewn every which way? Check. Screaming, clapping, and dancing? Check, check, and check. It's about to go down! The day is definitely something for the memory books. I will be honest, I didn’t enjoy the actual looking for a dress (things were thrown everywhere and it was hard to manage) but you can’t help but get swept up in all the festivity. Another row. I l...

    I experienced a must-see-it-to-believe-it event while I was planning my wedding. It was something I had only heard about….something sounding a lot like the Running of the Bulls in Spain. While there are no crazy bulls involved, there are crazy brides (which may be even worse)! These brides were lining up at the crack of dawn in front of Filene’s Basement - some even had tents set up - with the goal of coming away with a designer wedding dress at an amazing discount! There were teams of mothers, daughters, friends, and even very understanding fiancees preparing their game plans to find the...

    Let me preface this by saying I am a researcher by nature and by profession….please don’t think I am crazy. Back in March – just two months after I got engaged - I had already been to 7 bridal salons and tried on over 50 gowns. By April, my number had reached 100 but at that point I had also FOUND my dress - I just didn’t buy it.  Not only did I have to be SURE it was the One, I wanted to find it online or at a sample sale since I couldn’t bring myself to spend that much on a dress I was to wear once. I gave myself the summer, prime wedding season, and hoped brides would sell their...
