Were you at Filene's Basement's Running of the Brides last week in Atlanta? We were! And... we can now say that... YES. Everything you've heard is very, very true.
This was our first time, and as the bride we were shopping with can attest, please arrive with:
1. lots of guts
2. underwear ready for trying on a wedding dress, including strapless bra
3. cell phones or some sort of communication so you can talk to and find your 'dress team'
4. a granola bar or two to keep up your energy
5. the right set of expectations for what works for you
Remember that just like any shopping experience, to, as they say, Keep Calm and Carry On. It's easy to get caught up in the frenzy of shoppers and end up walking out with a dress that might end up in regret... so we advise going in after trying on some styles so you know at least the silhouette that you're after.
The dresses range in price for $249 - $699, so if you're on a budget, think it's silly to spend thousands on a dress or simply would rather allocate that to another area of the big day, it can be a bargain.
Have you been to the Running of the Brides at Filiene's as a bride to be or as a helper? What did you think?
