    Hi all,

    Just wondering, but could you possibly put up a list of all wedding dress designers or at least a comprehensive list of good ones possibly? Finding it difficult to know who to search for!

    Thanks :) xx

    My dress is purely lace and lace expensive and as I also want the dress in green and dyed I think its adding to the price Its not your fault I thank for giving me her link to her website and shes not the only one with giving high prices to make my dress I have recieved £1,200 to £2,500 estimates My fault for my expensive taste =D <3 X

    It has to be the way you want it! My dress is also not white, because I hated all the white dresses I tried on - it just wasn't me.

    Hope you find what you are looking for.

    Mine is Romantica of Devon and me being me I picked the most expensive one at £945 but that still isn't that expensive for a wedding dress. The dresses she had in the shop of this designer started at £400 though and that was for a brand new dress, not a sample one xxx

    That is a problem. Have you tried looking at dresses on p1nterest? There's so much on there it can be daunting, but there's so much you're sure to find something you'll like x

    Ok, thanks :) I'll have a look.. I know roughly but I really need to work out what I genuinely want because I like online I see and think 'yeah that's nice' but then I saw some in store today and thought 'actually, I really don't like that!' so it's difficult.. I thought seeing things properly would help but if anything, it has made the decision harder!! x

    That's pretty typical. You won't know what works or looks good until you start trying them on. Sometimes it's good to just focus on the shapes of dresses that look good rather than specific dresses. I found it daunting when I started to try on dresses, but it became so much easier when I knew that fit and flare dresses suited me best. Allowed me to narrow everything down.

    I thought so lol. I have been trying to find things that suit my shape rather than actual dresses.... but that's quite hard when I'm loosing weight so my body is changing! I looooove the Morie Lee 1662, really fallen in love with that, and Debbie has found her dress - Stella York 5781 which is scarily pretty similar but then we are :)

    I also like 'Ashley' from Romantica of Devon too if that helps, those sorts of shapes seem to suit me well.. Corset with sweetheart is good, then quite free on the rest of the dress but with a bit of detail. Love lace and quite often the really soft veil overlay designers put on dresses I like too.....

    I have Brianna, she was discontinued last year so I was able to purchase her for a heavily discounted price. TBH I love her so much I would have bought her for full price. The discount was like icing on the cake.

    Having now read that you like lace, soft veil overlay and a corseted sweetheart neckline, def check out Mori Lee. I have a Mori Lee and literally fits your description (if my understanding is correct lol!).

    Hiya ..... I'm not entirely sure what you are asking for ...

    A list of ALL designers that are established brands

    Or

    A list of smaller designers who do bespoke dresses and / or copies of others

    We would have to look very carefully at what would constitutes advertising ...

    In my own opinion surely it's better to look for a dress that flatters your body rather than having one because of who designed it !

    I agree with Lala. Tbh most brides don't know about designers and who is a desirable brand apart from the obvious Miss W@ng.

    I had no idea and neither did my sister and tbh we didn't care who the designer wad, as long as we loved the style and price.

    To add to that, unless you're having a society wedding I bet the majority or all of your guests couldn't tell the difference between a V3r@W@ng wedding gown or an off the peg from the home store that's British xx

    I don't want a society wedding or anything like that, I just wanted a list of some wedding designers that a lot of brides seem to go for so I can get an idea because dress wise, I have no idea what I'm looking for that's all!! Just need some tips on who are good to look into as although I can say, yes that's pretty, dress-wise, I'm a complete novice!

    "Who is good...." This is individual perception and opinion....

    Look through magazines ..this will start to give you an idea of the styles you like ( even one designer can do different shapes etc )
