After we analysed the results of our reader survey last year, we were surprised at the number of brides heading to either the high street/department store or online for their wedding dress. This equated to 60% of our readers! Read the wedding trend results here.
Over the past few years, we have seen an increase of high street and online brands launching their very own bridal collections. From elegant and traditional designs to modern and sleek, these collections are seriously stunning. Seeing them up-close at industry events have given us confidence in the quality too.
If you’re on a tight wedding budget and seeking an affordable wedding dress, these retailers may be perfect for you! Spending less on your dress means you could spend more on jewellery you can wear again or a bit more on your honeymoon.
