Just been thinking and wanted to see if any of you managed to get any money off ur wedding dress and how much u paid? I have put a deposit on a beautiful maggie sottero dress after only seeing it in the shop twice because i was so worried about it suddenly being discontinued and never being able to get it again! I ended up paying full price which was £1050 plus £95 for alterations! So much money! Now I'm starting to think I shouldn't have been so hasty and should have waited a bit longer! Lol AND I said to myself that i would be so good and always look for good deals! Ermm not doing very well so far! Lol
CommentAuthorkrazykitty
well i got mine in the sale i probably should have waited but i get overexcited anyway i haggled OH was sooo proud of me lol tho he dont know what my dress like still i got it for 375 + 15 for my hoops instead of hiring a petticoat for same price lol didnt need any alterations so i was lucky which meant i cud get it for that x
i cannot wait to marry my best friend

I am spending no more then 200 - 300pounds as i dont see the point i am going to wear it once and then lock it away. I know that sounds odd but i dont see the point. Yes i want to look pretty but i dont think you need to spend a whole months wages on something you are going to wear once
Cant wait to to marry Martyn
Wishes the wedding would come faster
XxX

Wow! that's such a good price! Well done u! I can't haggle to save my life I'd hate it if I asked for money off and they said no! I'd feel so stupid! Ha so u can see this isn't gona go very well for me I will end up paying full price for everything and have to do lots of overtime to pay for it all! What dress is yours? What's it like? X
i agree that why i only spent that i got £100 off it before teh £15 fot hoops lol but there were some i loved and realy thoguht it was it but couldnt justify sepnding that mch on a dress was nearly £1000 before the hoops so yeah i compromised as cudnt find it anywhere before tho now have found it on the wonderful bay of e lol still i love my dress and i am hoping to be able to alter it slightly so i can wear it to black tie events as we have a few for the lifeboat charity yearly. so even tho mine was a lot fr me i love it i wouldnt worry bout whether you spend a lot or a little if it the right dress and you can afford it then go for it and dont worry x
p.s sorry about spelling the stupid keyboard dont like me today lol

I got a brand new, designer wedding dress (hadnt even been tried on by anyone, I was the first person to try it on) for £295. I brought it at a sample sale. But my one was actually fresh out the wrapper, it was one that had been over ordered.
I am now Mrs Stacey Stiles and loving it!
CommentAuthorMina
£90
just arrived today and fits perfectly until you get to the ruched bit just below my bosom where the zip wont negotiate but the clasp will.....bit gutted really but never fear as my mam is thrifty and can sort that out easily (one of my sisters had the same issue with her prom dress) so homeward bound i go in the new year :) oh and my shoes were £15 and look gorgeous
CommentAuthorheidianne

Oh girls, u all got such good prices! What have I done?! Lol does anyone know if anyones paid more than I have? That will make me feel better! By the way I do get to wear it twice so really that's only £575 per wear so that's a bit better or so I keep telling myself! Lol

CommentAuthormym72
I got mine for £495 which includes all alterations - which I'm glad about because I'm like you mrswalker2b and got to have quite a bit cut off (as I'm only 5'4")
CommentAuthorFaeth
I paid £300, but the ones I nearly went with were more like £700 - £1000 excluding alterations - I just got lucky that the one I fell in love with happened to be a one off on sale.

Mine was £250 reduced from £600. Its very nice, don't know name of it just style. its a mermaid fish tail style
CommentAuthorZoe81
i haven't tried any on yet but the only one I've seen that I really like was £2000!!!! I was budgeting up to £1000 lol so fingers crossed for it going in a sale! I am planning on re-selling mine afterwards tho, no point in paying so much money to wear it once and then lock it away forever, might as well make some of my money back and let someone else enjoy it!

CommentAuthorChrissy
Me too! I'm a bit miffed that I didn't wait because I wanted a Maggie dress but I have seen some amazing ones second hand on Ebay all cleaned etc. I wish I had of gone down that route now, I love my dress but resent paying that much when I could have got one from there second hand, especially now I know how Maggie's dresses fit xxxx

CommentAuthorsexytrish36
Chrissy... i wanted to buy from Ebay... but was scared that id pay for a gorgeous dress that was from china... then id never get it...
alot of people i know have spent £180 on a gorgeous dress from china and got it.. but knowing MY luck....................
CommentAuthorChrissy
Oh no I wouldn't have got from China I would have bought a second hand one from someone who had had their wedding here. They are around £300 on average, worn once, cleaned etc but never mind, I do love my dress and it's done now, just wish I's have realised sooner. I just had a look at your dress and it's very similar to one the girl had on four weddings this week and she looked stunning, good choice it's gorgeous :o) xxx

CommentAuthorbride to b
My mum as paid £550 for my dress and if we buy the bridesmaids dresses from there we get 25% off the cost of their dresses which is great because we intended to buy the dresses from there anyway even b4 we knew about the discount she was prepared to give us.
