EVERY bride wants to look beautiful on their big day – but finding that perfect gown need not blow the budget.
Now is a great time to grab a bargain as sales hit the high street and wedding shows roll into town.
Five cash-saving tips for finding a beautiful wedding dress without breaking the bank[/caption]
Say yes to the dress with these shopping tips.
HIGH-END HIGH STREET: Check out Coast, Monsoon, and online-only retailer debenhams.com, for brilliant discounts on dresses.
At Coast, the up-to-70-per-cent off sale means that you could get a stunning outfit for as little as £70. Meanwhile, at debenhams.com, you can get a statement white bow dress, down from £99 to £24.
SPECIAL SAVINGS: Head to stillwhite.com, a treasure trove for discounted designer wedding dresses, featuring new or second-hand gowns at a fraction of the original price.
You can search by designer or dress style to find items such as Jenny Packham gowns, which usually cost around £3,000, for just £400. Bridalreloved.co.uk is another great option when looking for pre-loved wedding dresses.
SAMPLE SALES: Bridal boutiques and designers frequently host sample sales, where you can try on and buy ex- display dresses at up to 50 per cent off.
Ask at your local bridal boutique, sign up for newsletters from your favourites and follow shops on social media to stay in the loop.
SHOW OFF: For inspiration, dresses and more, head to the National Wedding Show at Birmingham NEC this Saturday and Sunday.
Check out the schedule of events, talks and exhibitors at nationalweddingshow.co.uk and use the code LASTCHANCE to get tickets for £15 instead of £18.50.
HAGGLE HINT: If you’ve found “the one” but it’s slightly over budget, do not be afraid to ask for a discount when shopping in store.
Many boutiques and retailers are open to haggling. Ask nicely and you never know what might happen.
