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.

Your wedding dress is one of the most important dresses you will ever wear. Over years gone by there are many wedding gown superstitions that have appeared, so if you’re a bride to be who won’t stand on the cracks in the pavement, walk underneath a ladder or even contemplate getting wed on the 13th day of a month then read on.

It’s common knowledge that it is considered unlucky to allow your groom to see you in your wedding gown prior to the ceremony itself, although some brides do choose to take their future husband as their bridal wear shopping partner! A bride is advised never to help sew or make her wedding dress, otherwise for each stitch she sews will in turn be the amount of tears she cries during her marriage. In order to bring good luck the wedding dresses final stitch should not be done until she is about to walk down the aisle, with some brides also having a couple of hairs sewn into the gown?!?!

Finding a spider tucked in your wedding gown is meant to bring wealth and if you own a cat then getting it to eat out of your left shoe one week before the wedding will bless your married life. It is deemed unlucky for you to wear your complete wedding outfit with all your accessories prior to your wedding day as is the bride to see her full reflection in just one mirror on the wedding day.

The tradition of marrying in white began in the 16th century, encouraged by Queen Victoria who opted to wear white instead of the royal traditional colour of silver. Before white brides just chose their best dress with the colour being a personal preference. It was also beleived that wearing white would ward off evil spirits and was a symbol of purity and joy. Unless you are of an Irish origin the colour green is thought to be unlucky, a green gown in years gone by was thought to imply promiscuity, the green staining being due to rolling around in the grass!

With regards to fabric then a silk wedding gown is looked upon as the best of good luck, whereas satin is considered to be bad luck and velvet is believed to be connected to future poverty! If the fabric of the wedding dress has a pattern it is thought to be unlucky, even more so if the pattern incorporates birds or vines.

“Something old, Something new, Something borrowed, Something blue”  was originated in Victorian times.  Traditionally a married woman’s garter as the old, the something new to signify the new future together, the borrowed was often an item from the bride’s side of the family and the blue from an historic tradition that the bride would wear a blue ribbon in her hair to show her fidelity.

Superstitious or not with our extensive range of cheap wedding dresses in all colours, fabrics and styles to suit any bride to be it would be surely unlucky not to come and visit us here at the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet!
