Wilmington brides-to-be make ‘mad dashes’ towards wedding dresses | Arts & Culture

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Local brides laced up their tennis shoes Saturday morning and ran towards discounted wedding dresses in hopes of finding "the one."

As soon as the doors opened, 30 brides, along with their mothers, sisters and bridesmaids, made a mad dash towards the marked-down dresses.

This year, brides were able to choose from four local vendors, including The Dressing Room, Fountaine Bridal, Camille’s Closet and A Carolina Wedding. If the dresses onsite weren’t the correct size, the women had the options of going to the stores listed to see the one they wanted was available there.

While some brides had something specific in mind, others tried on a variety.

This was the third year that A Boxed Event has held the annual Mad Dash Bridal Run.
