 I’m sure you all are familiar with the annual Filene Basement’s “Running of the Brides” event. This Friday, July 11th is the Baltimore bridal event. So if you’re looking for a designer gown at a much lower price AND you don’t mind fighting with other brides looking for a bargin, then get your wedding dress crew and head to the Towson location.
Address: Towson Market Place 1238 Putty Hill Avenue Towson, MD 21286
Good luck and happy shopping!

 I’m sure most brides have heard of this event. Every year hundreds of brides-to-be line up at various Filene’s Basement locations with hopes of snagging a designer gown for hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars less than the retail price.
Good news MD/DC/VA brides! The Running of the Brides Event will be in our area this Friday, April 4th. Get your wedding gown crew of helpers together and head to the Filene’s Basement in Tysons Corner.
Filene’s Basement at Tyson’s Corner 8027 Leesburg Pike Vienna, VA 22182 703-893-1040
Good luck!!

Hello everyone. Welcome to the Affairs With Elegance blog. I am no stranger to the “blogging” world. After visiting several blogs over the past few months, the blog bug finally got me. You are always a student in this business since it is an ever changing industry. I’ve enjoyed reading the insightful thoughts of others as well as learning helpful tidbits along the way. I thought I might do the same for others so today, August 3, 2007 is my very first blog.
How fitting to start a wedding blog on the same day as the running of the brides in Washington, DC. For those of you who are not familiar with this event, it is an annual wedding gown sale that is held at select Filene’s Basement stores across the country (i.e. Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, New York, Washington, DC, etc). See the attached link for tips and information on how you might acquire a high end designer wedding gown without paying the high end price. The next sale will be held in Lawrenceville, NJ on October 19th. For those of you who can’t make the last “Running of the Brides” for 2007 then there’s always next year.
