Buying a wedding dress from the high-street is something to consider if you are trying to keep costs down for your big day. There are some oh-so-very-pretty budget wedding dresses available from the high-street, particularly for the fashion-forward bride – we even found gowns that start from as little as €160! Some of the sterling prices differ greatly to the Irish ones, so keep this in mind when purchasing and mention it to the store! Remember also that you will most likely need to make some alterations to these gowns to make sure they fit as well as one that you would have had made or have had personally fitted to you in a dedicated bridal store.
With the right accessories on these high street offerings though, no one will be able to tell that you’re wearing an little off-the-rack number and you’ll still manage to sweep the hubby-to-be right off his feet!
