Your wedding dress is a big feature on your wedding day. With so many to choose from, in an array of styles, shapes and colours the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet has something to suit every bride at an affordable price.  Whether you choose from one of our discounted wedding dresses or one from our Anna Sorrano bridal wear collection, our cheap wedding dresses are available in shades of white, ivory and many more.

Wearing a white wedding gown was traditionally worn as a representation of the bride’s innocence and stems back from when Queen Victoria wed in white in 1840 to incorporate being able to wear some lace she was given. She started a trend that was seen worldwide. Prior to then bride’s simply wore their ‘best dress’. Nowadays many brides want something a little bit different. White is often not the best choice for many ladies as it can make them look drained and washed out. Ivory has become much more popular and is flattering on virtually all skin tones.

If you fancy something a little bit different and would like to incorporate some colour into your wedding dress then consider whether you want the whole gown in that colour or some detail such as a sash, the train or the embroidery and embellishment. Wearing a gown in a solid colour can make a real statement. Baby pink and pale blue are still bridal, whereas a wedding gown in a letterbox red or a striking purple is very bold, perfect for a confident bride with a big personality.

If you opt for colour in your dress do remember that this will need to be replicated throughout your wedding day. From your bridesmaids dresses, flowers, wedding decorations and favours to the menswear so choose carefully. Take into consideration the season of which you are getting married as certain colours are more appropriate, for example, pinks, blues, and lilacs in the Spring and darker colours of deep reds, greens and blues in the Winter.

Your choice of wedding dress is very much dependent on your own individual style, personality and taste. It needs to suit your body shape and size whilst making you feel utterly amazing. Some wedding dresses are more suited to certain seasons than others, for example a heavy satin or velvet wedding gown is ideal for your winter wonderland day. So what if your’re saying ‘I do’ in the summer time, when we can hope for glorious sunshine and clear blue skies? A summer wedding can also bring humidity, heat and a spot of rain - no need to panic, it’s considered lucky for it to rain on your special day ladies. Taking all the elements that the weathher can bring it is essential you opt for a gown that not only makes you feel the epitome of beautiful but is comfortable too.

Even if your day is going to be inside whilst it’s blistering hot out you’ll still feel the heat at somepoint during the course of the day. Why not consider some of the following wedding dresses to help you look stylish yet cool on your special day. They are perfect for weddings overseas in hot climates too.

• Charmeuse, chiffon, voile and silk gowns are all very lightweight in comparison to other wedding dresses. These breathable fabrics will help keep you cool all day and night.
• Tea length or cocktail style gowns are perfect if you’re after a retro or vintage look. Ideal for the trendy bride who doesn’t want anything too formal.

Getting married is expensive, having found your dream gown from our selection of discount wedding dresses you can begin planning other areas of your special day. One thing on the to do list that can bring on a headache is the catering for yourselves and your guests. Accommodating everyone to fit into your wedding budget can be stressful and is often one of the most expensive too.  To keep costs down you can reduce the amounts of guests you invite or invite them to the evening reception, choosing to get married on a weekday can be a cheaper alternative or look at other areas of your day that are not as important to you where you could save money.

By choosing not to have a welcome drink or canapes, an open bar or a sit down meal and having the wedding cake as the dessert option can also bring down the cost per person substantially. If you have friends and family who are willing to help you could always make your own wedding food or why not have a barbecue if your having a summer wedding with each guest bringing a plate of food. Having a creative friend who can bake is also handy when it comes to your wedding cake. Some restaurants and supermarkets now have catering menus at reasonable prices – shop around and negotiate for the best package to suit your requirements. Catering doesn’t have to be expensive and can be done cheaply yet at high quality, just like our cheap wedding dresses.

Dating back to Victorian times this good luck verse has had an endless amount of brides ensuring that they have all four of the somethings incorporated into their bridal wear in some way or another. The ‘Something Old’ relates to the bride’s family and is a symbol of continuity. Many brides choose to wear something of their mother’s or grandmothers, often a special piece of jewellery or even their wedding dress or veil. Other alternatives include a brooch, scarf, handkerchief or a piece of lace sewn into your own wedding gown.

‘Something New’ symbolises good luck and the beginning of a new chapter in the happy couples newly married life together. This is usually the wedding dress although can be any item that has been purchased new from the wedding shoes, headpiece, flowers or rings. In choosing to wear a new item on your wedding day it is a reflection on the new journey of married life your self and your husband are about to embark on.

Representing the ‘Something Borrowed’ is the brides family and friends. There for her on the wedding day and in the future to offer love, support and guidance. This item should be lent to the bride from a happily married woman from her circle of friends and family. In turn she is lending some of her own wedded bliss for the bride to take into her own marriage. You could wear an item of jewellery, tiara or veil that one of your closest friends wore on her own special day. Just remember to return it afterwards.

Lastly the ‘Something Blue’ in the saying is often worn as a piece of ribbon sewn into the inner part of the wedding dress or on the bridal garter. Many years ago it was the symbol of purity and faithfulness and both the bride and groom wore blue bands on the border of their bridal wear as a reflection of their love and fidelity. Alternatively you could wear blue wedding shoes or lingerie, have blue stones in your jewellery or wear blue nail polish. Be as creative as you so desire!
