Hello Brides. Any tips on where I can find affordable wedding dresses? Or any good budget designers to look out for? I went to a bridal show and nearly had a heart attack at the prices.

Sample and bridal sales. Genuine bridal boutiques offer genuine dresses, with excellent service and advice. The sale rail can have amazing gowns, from genuine bridal designers, top quality fabrics and workmanship.

I got mine from David Bridal in Glasgow, beautiful dress (not designer but don't care) it was less than £500

Lots of bridal boutiques have sample sales so if you can find one that fits or could be easily altered then you can get them for around £400 ish when the retail price was £1000 ? The next lot of designs should be in around March so now is the time to nab a bargain otherwise it will be around September! A lot of Bridal Boutiques have Facebook pages so keep an eye on their posts for sample sales! I've also found that the simpler the dress the less expensive it is - if you don't want a lot of bling or detail then the price dramatically decreases. I've also found it helpful to shop around - the prices in bridal boutiques can vary greatly so worth visiting a few as some really do charge over the odds! Alternatively, Dorothy Perkins and Debenhams have some beautiful dresses at a fraction of the price of Bridal Boutiques. Finally, don't worry too much about this - you will find that perfect dress and will look beautiful on the day! :-)

Am I the only person who had a bad experience at wed2be 🙈 I'd advise to shop about......the dresses at wed2be that i tried on were around 600, then I found the most perfect dress of the peg in a little bridal shop for just over 400. Xc

I went to a place called Townhouse Bridal just outside of St Neots - they only sell discontinued and sample sale dresses so you get designer gowns that cost no more than £650.00 (but most are £500 or under). The lady who runs it is incredibly helpful and friendly
