It's Mine! Filene’s Basement Bridal Run in Union Square

It's that time again! Filene's Basement is having their wedding dress sale and brides-to-be and their teams were lined up at the Union Square location to get that perfect dress. And it's a steal! Designer dresses that go for $10,000 are discounted down to as little as $1,000!

Here's the breakdown when the doors open:

Doors open and brides run to the racks. They grab as many dresses as they can and lug them off into a corner and start trying on right there in the aisles. Usually the racks are completely empty in two minutes or less.

8:05-8:15am
There will be lots of brides-to-be and their teams with no dresses. Our advice them is to:
1. Find a bride who is trying on dresses you like and be there to take her rejects
2. Just enjoy the spectacle
3. Go have a cup of coffee and come back in an hour or later when most of the dresses will be back on the racks.

8:15-on
The trading will begin. Brides will trade one dress for another; brides will hawk the dress they have to trade; brides or their friends will walk around with signs that read: “looking for a size 12 strapless” or whatever. There will be experts on alterations working with the brides to ‘fit’ the dresses. When a bride finds THE dress, everyone stops what they’re doing and applauds.
