Hi guys, I'm lucky in that I have over 2years to plan my wedding but I am ALREADY stressing! My main stress is the bridesmaid and junior bridesmaid dresses. I'm not tight in any way but I begrudge paying £1200 on 6 dresses when I also have to buy shoes, bags, posys and pay for hair make up and nails especially when I very much doubt the dresses will be worn again! I have looked at so many dresses online and have come to the conclusion that I will have to order offline and hope the colour is ok when they arrive! Has anyone else had trouble and what have you done? Thanks brides xx

You can do a lot better than £200 a dress. A lot of ladies have had good luck ordering dresses from she who can not be named (I'll pop the link on your wall. The Bay and the high street are also great options for bridesmaid dresses.

I dont want them to pay for their own hun...thanks Sarah x
and even if i had a 15000 poubd budget would never dream of spending £200 per dress, like £100 and thats max more like 50/60 , but as it is the dresses are going to cast around 20/30 as my mums making them and its just the material, do you know anyone who could make them?

Hi Danielle. Try s3xyh3r (if you can decipher that). I ordered a material swatch & they sent me a £10 off voucher. I ordered flower girl dress FG8888 & the matching bridesmaid dress. They can do the dresses in any colour but this adds £10 to the cost of the dress. They are based in croydon I think so if you are near there you can also go to their shop rather than online. Edited to add that my junior bridesmaid dress was £60 & adult bridesmaid £70.

I am nowhere near croydon but will defo have a look at their website thanks hun :) x

Definately try the high street Hun! My budget is £40 a dress and I've seen loads of options so far! I was a BM 2 years ago and my dress was £40 from n3xt. A friend got married earlier this year and her BM dresses were £10 maxi dresses in the sale from h and the m and were gorgeous! Get the girls out shopping in the Jan sales that's what I'm doing :D and s3xyh3r is my back up plan if we don't end up with one from high st! Xx
