The budget for my dress doesn't stretch too far but I still desperately want that magical experience with my BMs, bubbles etc.
It seems like I can only buy cheap online (not convinced by this yet) or visit a shop with a premium- does anyone know of an in-between point where you get both- the bargain and the sparkle?
Thank you!

Definitely try sample sales or outlet stores, you can find some fab discounts and see get the "proper" experience :)

Keep an eye out for when bridal shops do a sale. The shop i got mine from does one each year and sell their stock for ridiculous money, you can still have that magical feeling of going and trying dresses on as well.

What budget do you have if you don't mind me asking?
You could like GF suggests go to bridal stores that have a sale on. Alternatively go to bridal stores for the experience but get your dress elsewhere. One of my friends got her dress from a bridal store but only paid £200 for it because it was a bridesmaids dress and ordered it in ivory.

- You could go and try lots of dresses on for the experience, then order online anyway (if there's something you've got you're eye on)
- sample sale, still get to try plenty on
- bridal outlet store (how i got my dress, same as a normal bridal store just cheaper and take home on the day)
- Make a regular appointment, if theres a dress you like that's older from a previous season/year ask if you could buy it as a sample, or if/when you can? (Don't ask, don't get)
- consider trying bridesmaids dresses and order in white/ivory (may only suit if you don't want a big princess dress, not entirely sure)
