Filenes Basement is set to host another Running of the Brides event in Lawrenceville, NJ (outside Philadelphia) next Friday October 19th at 8am.  If you are looking for a wedding dress, this event is the one to be at.  You can search through over 1300 designer dresses that range in price from $249-$699.  That’s it!  You can’t beat these bargains. 

WeddingWire is also giving away free skip the passes.  Lucky brides will be able to shop for one hour before the store opens to everyone else.  Win your Skip the Line pass here.

For all those in Chicago that are still looking for a wedding dress, Filene’s Basement is having their annual bridal gown/dress blowout event this friday the 27th. This might just be the best way to get a gorgeous dress for a steal of a price since all dresses are either $249,$499 or $699…That’s it! I’ve seen $7000 Vera Wangs for $249. I’m not saying that’s the norm, but you get the idea.

Doors open at 8am, I suggest getting there early.
