The days of Running of the Brides are sadly over, and that might not be such a bad thing. Attention, brides-to-be (and even those who like to plan five years ahead): The answer to your dream-dress prayers is here, and you won't have to wrestle anyone to get to it. (Though you might still want to bring your best girlfriends along.)
From Thursday through Saturday, Carine’s Bridal is hosting the semi-annual trunk show for lauded bridal designer Monique Lhuillier, where you’ll get a chance to check out new gowns from the fall '12 collection and some best-selling styles from past seasons. At this point, if you've done any research at all, you probably already know that these intricately constructed, ladylike dresses are the real deal. So, leave your inspiration boards (and sneaks) at home and go get yourself a gown, girl!
When: Thursday, February 9th, through Saturday, February 11. By appointment only.
Where: Carine’s Bridal Atelier, 1726 Wisconsin Avenue NW; 202-965-4696.
