Wedding Forum - How far would you travel ?...

Hi all,
Recently I found the dress which was surprising as it was last dress I tried on and it was picked out as a choice by the people with me. Now this supplier is in limited parts of the country and nearest supplier (this one) is 4-5 hrs drive away (depending on traffic) I will be looking to return to that shop to order dress and of course fittings but it got me thinking If you found the dress or other parts of the wedding not local how far would you travel to get them ?

My work colleague (Glasgow) traveled to London for her dress sometimes driving other times train.

I don't think I could travel that far but I am lucky enough to live in a massive city with loads of wedding stores so really no need for me to look out with Glasgow.

If I did I think I would drive MAX 4 hours

I travelled 40 minutes for mine but I would probably do a max of two hours one way so a four hour round trip xxx

For the dream dress I'd like to think I'd go anywhere but probably would set a maximum 2 hours drive each way x

I would probably travel anywhere in the UK for my dream dress haha xx

I was considering travelling to London from n Ireland to a bridal store there that stocked good priced designer dresses that I really loved!! But now going down the route of getting my dress bespoke made by a local designer 20 mins away :-)

It's really not something I have thought about! Our town has quite a few bridal shops, so just assumed I would find a dress in one of them.

Our nearest City is around 60 miles away and I have been known to drive there for dresses for other occasions, so for a wedding dress, I guess if I exhausted our town and the nearest city, I would be happy to go much further afield.

I hope I am not that picky though and the one I intend to order will be delivered to me door (although there is a chance it will need replacing)

OH has got hers from a shop 15 minutes drive from her parents however that's 1.5hrs from uni for her and mine is almost 2hrs drive from uni but ultimately, most of us will go to the ends of the earth to find our dream dresses right?! Look at it this way, some brides order dresses from China and Hong Kong and that's way further :) x

My chosen shop is 40 mins away from me, but my mum lives 2 hours away amd my dress is currently at hers. So I'll need a long winded trip to collect and take it to the shop for fittings then back again to my mums!
But I'd travel for my dream dress!

Mine is in bristol I'm in kent, but I like to think it'll be more special making a day of it going for fittings etc. but then mine is there because it's at my venue and near to my mums

I would go if it's the dress of your dreams then why not!?!

My local shop said they could order in another style if they already carried the designer, I nearly went for that option until I fell in love with a different dress :)
