'Alternative' yet affordable wedding dresses

I actually bought my human hair extensions from aliexpress! They do all sorts of stuff. Anyhow, the hair is excellent quality so I am happy and it was a lot cheaper than buying it in the UK. I can't vouch for a dress but my money was not released to them until I had the goods in my hands so that might be some reasurrance.

Just an idea... Oxfam have a London shop that sells only wedding dresses... a lot of them are gifts from designers and have never been worn before and they sell them all for about £150 or less (I saw this on a tv program a few months ago!) so you could get an amazing dress for much cheaper than RRp... designers also quite often do funky colours etc? Also if you got one that much of a bargain you could get it professionally dyed to be the right colour.

WhaT is your budget? Wedding boutiques sometimes sell coloured dresses and might have them in the sample sale? Or try second hand dresses from eBay or a specialist second hand wedding dress website.

Hmmm I dunno, no more than £300 really, seems silly to spend a lot on a dress I'll be wearing only once

Hiya,

I got my favours from that site and the service was great but I couldn't comment on the clothing quality. I have just found this site tho. It's a UK company and they have a show room in London.

How about this?

Itis only £89.99 and gorgeous!!!

I got married in Black and had mine made by yourmomentsbridal.co.uk and it was amazing!

The quality was superb! I could not tell the difference from the dresses I had tried on in shops. xx

Thanks for your replies all

Hiya :0) Try 'corsets uk' chick...... Stunning and seriously affordable yet great quality for something a bit different. Xx

I love love love corset and have plenty, just not sure I could wear one for the whole day esp. when there's a 3-course meal and buffet going on!

Lolsssss but surely that's the bonus of a lace up back? A quick nip into the loos with a trusted other, let it out a bit and nobody would ever know :0) xx

I got my wedding dress from Courtesan Boutique www.courtesan-boutique.co.uk

The are based in Sussex but I believe the dresses are made in China. I bought one that was in stock already so only took a couple of days to arrive, and I was really happy with it. They have size charts on the site so I measured myself and fond that I needed a size bigger than I would normally buy which was spot on when it arrived.

They can do pretty much any of their dresses in absolutely loads of colours so definitely worth a look. This was mine:

Oooh but I just found this and HAD to get it - it's very pretty. Not sure I want purple with black and I was set on purple with white, but, I'm sure it'll get some use even if I don't wear it for my wedding!

*This is why I avoid looking at corset sites! Lol.

I used it several times and what I look before purchasing is seller rating and reviews. If they are good, then you can buy that!
