What is the average price of a high-street wedding dress in the UK?

You can choose to spend as much or as little as you like! There are high-street wedding dresses that cost as little as £30 and can go up to around £600. Most tend to fall around the £200-£300 mark. 

 

Can I find high-street wedding dresses on sale?

Of course! Whoever said you shouldn’t aim to find a bargain on your wedding dress too. Like many high street brands have numerous sales throughout the year on seasonal clothing collections, you can also find huge price cuts on bridal wear and wedding dresses from your favourite high street stores. Look out for low prices during key seasonal sale periods like summer, winter and Black Friday. 

 

Will a high street wedding dress fit me as well as a designer dress?

Visiting a boutique that makes rounds of alterations to get a designer dress to fit your shape to a tee can have advantages. But just because you're considering high-street wedding dresses doesn’t mean you have to miss out on that experience. Why not find a good seamstress in your area who can alter your high-street wedding dress to fit like a glove? Remember, if you’re planning to do this, always buy a size slightly bigger than you need. Also, it’s worth noting that anything particularly embellished can make the process trickier, so consult your seamstress and keep your receipt in case you need to consider an alternative.
