Future Brides, Get Your Once-In-A-Lifetime Dress This Week

If you found yourself on the receiving end of an engagement ring somewhere between Turkey Day and the Times Square ball drop, the next thing on your to-do list is probably finding the perfect wedding dress. And, since you're one savvy shopper, you'll want to check out the two (count them — two) amazing trunk shows at Carine's Bridal Atelier that'll have you knee-deep in gorgeous gown options.

Carine’s will kick off its semi-annual Monique Lhuillier trunk show this Thursday, followed by a trunk show for the designer's Bliss collection next week. The first will feature heavenly fall '13 frocks from the eponymous line, while the second event will showcase best-selling gowns from previous collections (with markdowns included!). Who knows? Maybe you'll be saying a tearful "yes" all over again.

When: Thursday, January 24, through Saturday, January 26; Thursday, January 31, through Saturday, February 2. By appointment only.
Where: Carine’s Bridal Atelier, 1726 Wisconsin Avenue NW; 202-965-4696.
