Hiya all,

After selling bridesmaid dresses for over 4 years now I thought I would just share my advice & tell you about things I have learnt since getting into the wedding business.

We all know how expensive weddings can be & buying the right dresses first time will save you £'s later.

 Most of you are probably aware that there are many sellers offering dresses for £2.99 - £9.99 & postage cost of £60 to £100  from china, some are nothing like you see in the pictures but I have had alot of brides prasing them also so you just have to go with your instinct, always check thier feedback before hand. Also there are many UK sellers who offer dresses at reasonable prices but p&p costs of £15 for one dress? Be wary of these as most of these people get your dresses sent to you direct from china although they dont state that in their listings!! By not stating this you are likely to end up with customs charges that you have to pay & in the event that the dress is not suitable most will not refund the postage back to you!

We do a beautiful range of dresses from £59.99- £79.99  how? All we do is simple buy direct from the manufacturers this enables us to adjust the styles & colours to suit everyone's needs. All our dresses are as beautiful & well made as those in bridal shops. As we dont have an actual premises we have no overheads so we can pass the big savings on to our customers .

You may be surprised to find that bridal shops add 300% to the cost of the dresses they stock to cover costs so a dress you pay £190 for actually only costs them about £60. Just because its expensive doesnt mean its any better quality or design. We have stocked a local bridal shop for a year now so we know just how much expense they add!!

Just beacuse a dress doesnt cost over £100 doesnt means its cheap, but be please be cautious.  I can only speak about our own collection of dresses.

One more must before buying dresses, if you are unsure in any way always ask for a photo of the "actual" dress if one is not already listed. If the seller believes their dresses to be as beautiful as in the pictures they use they will send you a picture no questions asked. We always use pictures of all the weddings we have supplied dresses for as we belive this is the best way for a buyer to see how the dresses may look on thier big day.  

Hope that helps make buying dresses a little clearer

Thanks for you time

Jess xxx
