Running of the Brides® – DC Edition

Posted by MeganH on Aug 04, 2009

The DC brides-to-be and the WeddingWire Team were ready to go early last Friday morning in anticipation of Filene’s Basement’s annual Running of the Brides® sale at their Mazza Gallerie location! In order to wake up the crowd at this early early hour, we asked the ladies (and a few gentlemen) in line to create a team cheer about Running of the Brides®. Here was one of the winning teams:

Note to future teams: It doesn’t hurt to mention WeddingWire a few times in your cheer! Thanks to all in attendance, we had a great time!

Julianne Smith’s Wedding Garters

Posted by MeganH on Jun 03, 2009

Bring back the garter tradition with style! It is no longer seen merely as a bride’s something blue, but it can be her something pink, something yellow or something green with white polka dots!

Leading this trend is Julianne Smith who designs fun and stylish wedding garters for today’s brides. Last week, members of our WeddingWire Team, Ashley and Meg, had the pleasure of attending the launch of Julianne’s new garter collection at DC hotspot, Hello Cupcake! They had a blast meeting Julianne and connecting with wedding professionals and brides in the DC area.

Filene’s Basement held their famous Running of the Brides® sale at the Rockville, MD location on April 3rd and WeddingWire was there to witness the excitement first hand.
