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.

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.

‘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!

If going shopping for wedding dresses fills you with fear then don’t fret. Here are some pointers to assist you in your search to finding you own gown.

• Before you go trying on wedding dresses consider what your personal style is. Are you glam girlie or a true tomboy? Your gown should be a reflection on your individual personality.
• Do your research beforehand. Browse through bridal wear magazines and scour websites for images of wedding dresses that you like the look of. It is likely you will see similarities between the pictures. Take these shopping with you to give the sales assistants an idea of what you like the look of.
• Try to keep an open mind. Very often a bride will go for the complete opposite of a dress she first envisaged herself walking down the aisle in. Sales assistants have seen hundreds of brides and know what dresses look good on certain body shapes.
• If there is a part of your body that you like then look for a gown that accentuates it. A sweetheart gown will flatter your chest, whilst a shorter gown will show off your legs.
• Don’t feel you have to be traditional. Use your imagination and set your creative side free if you fancy something that little bit different.
• Your wedding theme may decipher your choice of wedding dress. If you’re getting wed in a castle and having a horse and carriage then you need a princess style gown.
• Ensure you look and feel the part before you set off trying on wedding dresses. Pop on some decent undies and wear some make up to make you feel good prior to your appointment.
• Don’t beleive the hype that you have to get butterflies in your tummy or burst into tears for it to be the right dress. Not every bride gets that feeling of ‘knowing’ when it is the one. If you have narrowed it down to a couple of dresses that you like then simply go back later on to retry the gowns to make your final decision with the help of a close friend or on your own after sleeping on it.
• Finally don’t lose sleep over the budget you have allocated for your bridal wear. At the Wedding Dress Factory Outlet all our discount wedding dresses are affordable to all with prices from £150-£400.

With auction sites you cannot guarantee that the photograph of the pictured wedding dress will be the one you will be receiving, not forgetting you may not even like it when it arrives. Wedding dresses look very different on different people. Then you have the cost implications of dry cleaning and altering the dress so it fits you. Before you know it the price of your discount wedding dress has become a substantial amount more than you initially bargained for.
