why are wedding dresses so expensive? i wnat something quite simple, not...

A lot of people seem to put a lot of energy into a wedding and not into their marriage afterwards sadly. High street chains have nice dresses at reasonable prices, as do oxfam if you want to help a charity along your way. Good luck!

I found mine at Debenhams for a little over £300 and with an online discount voucher I found it was £288. We are having a bo-ho style relaxed wedding and to me this fitted the bill. It was Debut's Honesty. Can't wait to wear it.

Hi do you have a Wed2b store close to you they have Wedding dresses from £99 nice soft lines not big and flouncy good luck :)

Looks like it's now reduced to £240 (Grrr) http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_008020800885_-1

Hi the bridal factory outlet or wed2be dresses start from £99-£900

Try chi chi London. They have really beautiful boho dresses. Bonus they have a sale on

Bridal factory or keep a look out for bridal shop sales or even closing down stores . I was lucky the bridal shop I bought my dress from was closing down and got my dress half price :)

They are expensive because of the materials they use and the fact many are handmade with intricate details. You can buy wedding dresses on the high street if you are looking for something cheaper.

In addition to my last comment, if you didn't want to buy high street you could go to an outlet store and buy off the peg. A lot of their stock is discounted as it's from an older line. You could try wed2be or bridal factory outlets depending on where you are based.
