Grab a designer wedding dress bargain

Ah, the dress…probably the biggest shopping decision you will ever have to make…and perhaps one of the most expensive.

The good news however is that January is also sample sale month when many of the big names in bridalwear look to sell-off their old collections at a fraction of the usual price.

There are some serious bargains to be had and this is a great opportunity to get your hands on some of the most coveted designers at a snip of the cost, meaning there is more money left over to get some ‘to-die-for’ shoes and accessories…

Here’s our run-down of the best wedding dress sample sales across London this month…

Phillipa Lepley
Sample Sale: 7th – 20th January
Bridal gowns from £900

If you are looking for an exquisite couture gown then this is a ‘must-visit’. Phillipa is renowned across the industry for her understated yet elegant dresses in luxurious fabrics and she is a firm favourite with modern brides.

On Saturday 14th January it is first come, first-served, so get there early to avoid disappointment, however during the week appointments are required.

Sassi Holford
Sample Sale: 7th – 21st January
Bridal gowns with up to 75% off

Sassi’s dresses suit the stylish and classic bride with lots of lace detail and embellishments to create stand-out dresses. Having worked with Sassi at The Wedding Sanctuary last year, I can vouch for the gorgeous attention to detail on each and every dress, the luxurious fabrics and the first-class customer service that every bride receives.

The sample sale is being held in both the London and Taunton boutiques and appointments are required.

Browns Bride
Sample Sale: Sunday 22nd January, 11am – 5pm

If you are looking for a gorgeous designer dress and dream of walking down the aisle in Vera Wang, Marchesa, Monique Lhuillier, or one of the many other acclaimed bridal designers, then a visit to Browns Bride is an absolute must. With savings on many of the dresses it really is a fantastic opportunity to get your hands on a designer classic.

Being a big fan of Browns Bride, I can highly recommend the impeccable service you receive, the quality of the dresses and the vast choice. The sample sale works on a first come, first served basis, so get an early night and be sure to be the first in the queue!
