Buying your Wedding Dress Online

January 24th, 2012

We all like a bargain, who doesn’t?! Getting married is expensive,and as a couple you will be hoping to keep costs to a minimum where you can, but can you really compromise when it comes to your wedding dress. You may have seen wedding dresses for sale on auction websites, and unauthorised Internet sellers advertising their cheap wedding dresses at unbelievably low prices. Unfortunately we have come across many sad stories from brides who fell into the trap of purchasing bridal wear from these sellers. Their ordered wedding dresses have often arrived faulty, damaged, the wrong colour or style and are often a counterfeit copy. With no refund or replacement policy in place the bride is left devastated and without a wedding gown.

There are also other risks to consider. When buying an item online from some other countries you have to pay Customs Duty and VAT charges when it comes into the country. Often the seller will send the wedding dress and declare it as a ‘gift’. In doing so the wedding gown has entered the country illegally as its commercial value has not been declared. The bride herself is responsible as an importer for all the information provided by the seller on the declaration form. If Customs prove that the value is incorrect then the buyer (i.e. you, the bride!) is liable for the penalty fine, and purchasing a counterfeit good is also illegal.

You can however get your dream wedding dress at a fraction of the cost without any risks, financially or emotionally. At the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet we offer discount designer wedding dresses of exceptional quality. We are one of the UK’s largest and most competitively priced factory outlets. Choose from our comprehensive range of well-known bridal brands and designers and pay up to 75% less than the retail price. We look forward to seeing you soon and assisting you in finding your dream wedding dress safely!

Perfect Wedding Day Beauty

January 23rd, 2012

Every bride wants to look the best she has ever done on her wedding day. From her wedding dress, to her hair and make up, she needs to not only look good but feel good too. The bride after all is the centre of attention (sorry you grooms!). Having found your dream wedding gown in our amazing collection of cheap wedding dresses at the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet we would like to give you a few tips on how to achieve a flawless look.

  • Do ensure you wear eye make up which is waterproof. At some point during the day you are likely to shed a few tears, even if you think you’re too hardcore for that, you may surprise yourself.
  • Your lipstick or gloss should also be the long-lasting stay put type. You’re going to be in for a long day filled with kisses from not only your new husband but your guests too. With the camera continuously snapping away you want your lips looking picture perfect.
  • Give someone the duty of keeping a check on your make up for you so they can advise you if you require a touch up. They can also keep a stash of your essentials in their bag.
  • You could keep an emergency kit in one of the bathrooms at your reception venue, for not just yourself but your female guests too. This could include hairspray, hairbrush, hair grips, clear nail polish for ladders in tights or stockings, deodorant, plasters and a sewing kit. You could even put out a supply of flip flops for tired party feet.
  • Don’t leave it until the big day before testing out a new product. Do a practice run first or use a product several times first just in case you have an allergic reaction.
  • And finally relax. A beautiful bride is one that is relaxed and enjoying herself. As long as you get married and enjoy yourself then nothing else will matter in hindsight!

With over 700 discount wedding dresses to choose from, we have something to suit every bride on every budget. We look forward to seeing you soon and assisting you in finding you dream wedding gown.

Newly engaged to Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel chose to wear a wonderfully vintage inspired gown by Elie Saab. The romantic white lace dress with it’s high-neck and split to the thigh was complimented by dazzling Tiffany & Co jewellery. Kate Beckinsale looked as if she was about to glide down the aisle in a stunning strapless fishtail gown. Wearing her hair up, with large sparkling chandelier style earrings she looked every bit a bride in her Robero Cavalli dress. 

Zac Posen was the creator of Elle Macpherson’s breathtaking dress. The supermodel oozed confidence in her figure hugging corseted dress and its reams of tulle skirt.  Jessica Chastain looked radiant opting for a high neck elegant white Givenchy number encrusted with beading.
