Wedding Dresses on a Budget

If you tuned in to Ireland AM this morning you would have spotted some fabulous looks under €1000. I’m constantly being asked by brides where can they get a good deal and here are my top tips:

1. Keep an eye out for Sample Sales. You will be buying off the rack and you may need alterations but it is a lower cost. Many boutiques clear out last seasons stock in January/February and October/November to make way for new collections.
2. Keep an eye out for new boutiques opening as like Cleo Bridal who I feature in this piece, may have special discounts to launch their opening.
3. Charity Shops are an alternative and majority have second hand stock but Barnardos Bridal have brand new stock which has been donated by boutiques or straight from design houses. I feature Barnardos in this piece. Their stock is constantly updating too.
4. Outlet Shops are few and far between but my favourite is Timeless Bridal Wear as they only stock superb quality gowns for up to 70% off the rrp. The service is excellent and the dresses are brand new and off the rack. They also have every size under the sun.

Today’s looks are featured below but don’t forget, Cleo Bridal and Timeless Bridal are joining forces to bring you a heavily discounted bridal pop up shop on the 29th of February/ 1st March in the Red Cow Moran Hotel. You can register for an appointment here!
