Wedding Dress Shopping

I bought mine online in 2020. Budget was £400 and I got one for under £200. But the company I bought from has put their prices up recently, as have most of the other places I looked at - reckon I'd be paying £300 or so now for something similar.

I tried on dresses in store, and bought from store. I had my dress budget in mind, and so shopped appropriate designers in appropriate stores based on that. Most boutiques only stock a few designers, so you’re able to get a fairly good idea whether they’re worth visiting based on designers they stock.


I personally am a fairly average size (UK10) and didn’t have a clue what shape, style or cut I wanted, so being able to go to a store to try on all the possibilities was super important to me and thankfully I knew most places were fine to cater to my size.

I brought my dress from David's Brides in the clearance sale for £100, had a budget of roughly £800 max. Was very at it fitted perfectly, also brought my shows from Amazon for £40, they were knock offs of the Betsy Johnson blue range which I also tried on in David's Brides.
