Designer Gown Sales Event

 

If your idea of gown shopping doesn’t involve camping outside Filene’s Basement and strangling fellow brides over clearance designer tulle, you’re invited to a classy alternative to the chaos that is the New York City “Running of the Brides.”

In October Brides Magazine is hosting the “Something Pink Gown Sale” in collaboration with the Making Memories Breast Cancer Foundation. Half charity benefit, half designer gown sale, the event provides two ways to shop for your gown:

1) PREVIEW SALE

           New York, NY 10001

When:  October 4, 2007
           6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Pay $200 for tickets to the Preview Sale, which allows you first dibs on the goods, admission for one shopper and a guest, cocktails, and a swag bag with goodies from Ralph Lauren, Hanky Panky, Godiva, and Target worth $500. You’ll also be entered to win a $4,500 honeymoon to Maui.

2) GENERAL  SALE

               122 West 26th St
               New York, NY 10001
