Hi girls,
I bought my Jim Hjelm bridesmaid dresses online from
www.gownsales.com. They were great - cheap, came about 5 weeks after I ordered them, they sent me a swatch of the material so I could show to others (including the lace and tulle overlays.) I'm in the North and only got stung for £50 for customs - they'd put a much lower value for the dresses on the front of the box so the Royal Mail calculated it lower than it should have been. I hadn't even asked them to do that!
As for my wedding dress, I've ordered it off
www.bestbridalprices.com. They told me at the outset that it would arrive in the US on the 10th of January (ordered start of October) so hopefully it's there today! They are then going to ship onwards to me and I've asked them to put a lower value on the front again which they said would be no bother. They also had a deal where you get a free veil and shoes. I'll let you know when I get them how they are!
