Ex-Demo Wedding Dress

We here at Mrs2Be try to understand what our visitors want and need and one of the things that has become more and more evident is that girls want the wedding of their dreams without breaking the bank!

So, we are trying hard to locate wedding dresses that are less than the high street price either by being ex-shop demonstration dresses, or perhaps being once-loved dresses.

Once such dress we have for you is by the wedding dress designer "No Ordinary Bride" this particular dress is a size 10 and is a strapless, fitted dress with a fishtail train. The dress is beautifully detailed with beading and embroidery in white. It would no doubt benefit from being professionally dry cleaned but at £255.00 instead of £500.00 a bride who is getting married on a budget will still look a million dollars!

I am sure you can remember just how much you loved reading all about other couples wedding plans and seeing images of the dress and the venue, and the colour scheme etc!

All you need to do is go to the Mrs2Be website and complete the Real Life Bride form and we will publish your story to give inspiration to all of our own Mrs2B's!

That's exactly what Mrs2Be member Heather from Sandbach did. Read her romantic story here.

A Word of Warning before you Buy a Dress

Following a conversation recently with a bridal gown retailer I was shocked to hear that some brides are experiencing very shoddy workmanship in their wedding gowns where the gowns have been purchased for the Far East.

Obviously we are not saying that all gowns produced in the Far East are of inferior quality, but the story that has been passed on to me is that when the Bridal Gown shop offered to steam clean this Bride's dress for free after she had spent a considerable amount of money with them on other wedding items, they found the decorative items were simply melting and falling off. This was due to the fact that they had been glued on!

This is just one story, another was of a poor Groom2Be who literally pushed his distraught Mrs2Be through this shop door and asked them to "sort her out" as she was beside herself having bought a dress from a popular online auction site from the Far East and being appalled with her dress.

So basically, whilst we are all for saving money particularly when you are getting married on a budget, if you are paying £4.99 for a wedding dress (as some of them are advertised!), be clear about what you are getting for your money and have a back up plan!
