“Welcome to Filene’s Atlanta! We’re hosting the annual “Running of the Brides” sale today with unimaginable discounts on coutour gowns for your wedding day! Save thousands! Get here early! First come, FIRST SERVED!”
Does this bride look happy to you? No? Well she’s a willing participant in “The Run”, and this year it turned ugly. Read about it here compliments of CNN and WSBAtlanta.
I may be old-fashioned, but I prefer a kinder, gentler way of handling the dress buy, with no slap-fest included.
Celebrating Filene’s and their spin on publicity … um – no thank you.
Please remember to Celebrate Something Everyday!
Oh – btw – click the pics below to learn more about these elegantly useful wedding favors!

I work down by Filenes in Atlanta – I saw that mess yesterday morning! The crowd was HUGE!
I’m in Chicago – but my sister’s in some of those pictures – she said it was craaaazy, but they had so much fun! She said she didn’t see anybody fighting, really – but there were a lot of costumes.

Thanks for the link. I did that two years ago in New York for my wedding. I got a Vera Wang for 199 bucks. I’d SOOO do it again!

I wish dresses weren’t so expensive that brides have to go through all that stuff. Maybe it’s the economy?

Wow! I looked at that slideshow on that link. I can’t believe the prices – almost makes it worth it – huh?
