Not So Big Wedding Show - Team Williams

This past Sunday I participated in a brand new kind of bridal show. The Not So Big Wedding  $5,000.00 budget challenge at Rockwood Manor in Potomac, MD. It was a great turnout - my team consisted of Mixology Bartending, Bennett Catering, DJ Shelton and myself Urban Engagements for planing and design. The Peach Martinis were crowd favorite and the peach cobbler was to die for!

The running of the brides hits DC

The sale is held in selected Filene’s Basement stores once a year (twice a year in Boston). The event will hit DC July 30th 2010. News reports so often compare it to the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain that the event is now officially called the “Running of the Brides.”

The day of the sale, brides-to-be and their helpers line up early. When the doors open, they run full speed towards the racks. In less than 60 seconds, the racks are stripped bare (store employees have to hold on to the fixtures so they don’t topple). The women grab whatever gowns they can, haul them off to a corner, strip down to their underwear and start trying on dresses. Minutes later the trading begins. Every dress, no matter what size, style or color, gets bartered for another, as each bride tries to find the gown of her dreams at a cut-rate price, starting at 249.99!

Here are answers to frequently asked questions about the “Running of the Brides.”
