Retailers are attempting to flog overpriced wedding gowns for a slight drop in the price with a credit crunch ‘price offer’. Most of these ’special offers’ are not really special offers, they are playing with your mind and wanting you to think that they are going out of business and they are selling you the wediing dress at below cost price and they wouldnt sell below that, in that way they try to tempt you to buy the wedding dress.

If you are really looking for a budget wedding gown, why not go to an auction site, there are wedding gowns going for £89.00 plus £39.00 postage from china. If you give the correct measurments (and dont put on weight) there is no reason why you couldnt buy a custom made wedding gown for a fraction of the price you would pay for getting a wedding gown from a botique. You could always go for a second hand wedding gown, or a once used wedding gown.

Look and save, dont spend Thousands on a one night (if you cant afford it)

A BRIDE’S big day was nearly ruined after her wedding dress arrived just a week before the big day and was five sizes too big.

Patricia Williams-Haines, 24, of Windfield Road, Garston, is a size 14-16, but the gown she received was a size 24.

The shop supervisor from Garston had to go on a last minute shopping spree for an outfit to make sure she could make it to the church on time.

And now, even though she had ordered the £849 dress and a £100 tiara a year in advance, Berketex Bride, of Houghton Street, Liverpool, are refusing to give her her money back. read more
