Vintage, bohemian, traditional, glamorous… There’s a lace gown for every type of bride at TDR Bridal!

Your first thoughts of a lace bridal gown might be of an old-fashioned frilly number that you would only wear down the aisle in your worst wedding nightmares. But you couldn’t be more wrong – and trust us, we’re in the know! There are so many different ways that lace can be incorporated into your aisle style, explore some ideas with us…

The epitome of romance! A lace wedding dress has always been and will always be a bridal fashion staple. While other trends come and go, lace remains strong. It continues to be a front-runner as we head into peak wedding season and there are many reasons why.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/A-lace-wedding-dress.jpg” alt=”A lace wedding dress” title_text=”A lace wedding dress” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”For a start, there are so many different types” sticky_enabled=”0″]

For a start, there are so many different types of lace, from fine Chantilly lace and textured Alencon lace to heavier crotchet lace (like ‘Finley 20SC648’ by Sottero and Midgley). Some lace fabrics have an ethereal, romantic look, while others have a more bohemian aesthetic. The type of lace used in a design will hugely change the overall look of the dress, resulting in endless lace options.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Finley-20SC648-by-Sottero-and-Midgley.jpg” alt=”Finley 20SC648 by Sottero and Midgley” title_text=”Finley 20SC648 by Sottero and Midgley” url=”/dresses/sottero-and-midgley/finley-20sc648/” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” link_option_url=”/dresses/sottero-and-midgley/finley-20sc648/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Finley 20SC648’ by Sottero and Midgley” sticky_enabled=”0″]

The way lace is used in a dress design makes all the difference, too. Two dresses could be made using the same lace, but each dress could look entirely different. The amount of lace and where it’s positioned is as important as the type of lace used. You could opt for a head-to-toe-lace, like the ‘Grazia 1088’ gown by Morilee, or something more subtle like ‘Dina 2404’ by Morilee which features a more delicate over layer of lace over tulle. Both dresses could be described as lacey, but they are nothing alike and will appeal to different brides.

Then there are embellishments, appliqués, embroideries and added lace details. Take ‘Lea by Etoile’ an A-line gown featuring sparkling floral and Chantilly lace on the illusion lace bodice with a drop waist for a dramatic effect on the dreamy skirt, or you might be drawn to a ball-gown like ‘Patience by Enzoani’ with those captivating 3D floral motifs adorning the bodice which cascade down to the airy but voluminous skirt.

Want to switch up your bridal look as day turns into night? Another way to incorporate lace into your dress is with a lace over-skirt. Walk down the aisle in a romantic, full lace skirt and later remove it to reveal a satin fit-and-flare number like style ‘66223’ by Lillian West. Or you could change your style with a lace bolero or jacket. The addition of which could give your gown a different neckline, sleeves or simply a layer of lace to an otherwise plain style.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/66223-by-Lillian-West.jpg” alt=”66223 by Lillian West” title_text=”66223 by Lillian West” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”66223 by Lillian West” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Lace is a beautiful choice year-round. In the spring, delicate lace embellishments with a clear floral pattern will echo the blossoming flowers. A light and airy lace dress will keep you cool during the summer. Autumn lends itself to a boho style lace gown. And in the colder months a feminine long lace sleeve gives you a little more coverage, while adding to your winter wedding look.

From romantic and classic wedding dresses to bohemian and ethereal gowns, there are so many options for beach brides. Your dress choice will depend on the overall style of your wedding day – as it does for all weddings. You might think that ‘beach wedding’ is the theme of your wedding, but there are so many different types of beach weddings and, therefore, so many beach wedding dress ideas too! You could plan an elegant day, set just off the seaside, in a grand venue. Or you might be hoping to say ‘I do’ with your toes in the sand. Here at TDR, we have a style perfect for every beach bride…

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/beach-wedding-2.jpg” alt=”beach wedding” title_text=”beach wedding 2″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″ admin_label=”Boho chic”]

Boho chic

Boho brides will fall for the dress ‘66258’ by Lillian West. Delicate Chantilly lace and an off-the-shoulder neckline make this style hard to beat for a bohemian beach wedding. A scalloped lace train completes the dress, echoing the natural shapes left in the sand by the waves. Pair the gown with a pampas grass bouquet and boho bling.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Boho-chic.jpg” alt=”Boho chic” title_text=”Boho chic” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Keep it short” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Keep it short

Fun and sexy, short wedding dresses come into their own for destination and seaside weddings. Keep the dress’ hemline away from the sand by opting for a short dress like ‘2708’ by House of Nicholas. The T-length gown features a circular skirt and lightly embellished appliqué that will twinkle in the sunlight as you make your way down the aisle. If you always envisioned yourself wearing a lace wedding dress, ‘Ellie 88255’ by Justin Alexander is a beautiful choice for beach brides. With a high-to-low hem, show off jewelled sandals as you step down the sandy aisle.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Keep-it-short.jpg” alt=”Keep it short” title_text=”Keep it short” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Sleek silhouette” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Sleek silhouette

Show off your figure in ‘Katie’ by Sassi Holford, a gown that was designed to enhance the female silhouette. Featuring a column skirt that gently flows into a flared train, this dress holds you in all the right places. It is simple elegance at its finest and a gorgeous choice for destination brides.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Sleek-silhouette.jpg” alt=”Sleek silhouette ” title_text=”Sleek silhouette ” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Barefoot bliss” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Barefoot bliss

Walk down the sand-covered aisle barefoot, with ankle and toe jewellery adoring your feet, and truly embrace your beach wedding. Choose a gown with a sexy split, like style 23-JO3 by Jolie Bridal to show off your foot jewellery, reveal tanned limbs and keep you cool on the big day.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Barefoot-bliss.jpg” alt=”Barefoot bliss” title_text=”Barefoot bliss” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Laid-back elegance” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Laid-back elegance

For a no-frills beach ceremony, you might choose a simple wedding dress that feels a little more casual and relaxed. Featuring a bikini neckline made from stretch crepe, the A-line gown ’Erin 88263’ by Justin Alexander is simply stunning for a seaside wedding. The delicate spaghetti straps show off a golden tan, while the loose A-line fit will keep you cool.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Laid-back-elegance.jpg” alt=”Laid-back elegance ” title_text=”Laid-back elegance ” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Bridal jumpsuit” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Bridal jumpsuit

Make an impact with your aisle style by opting to wear a bridal jumpsuit. ‘Parker 18679’ by Ronald Joyce boasts a wide-leg trouser with an embroidered bodice and a detachable train. The detachable, lace train creates an A-line silhouette and allows you to change your look from ceremony to reception.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Bridal-jumpsuit.jpg” alt=”Bridal jumpsuit” title_text=”Bridal jumpsuit” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Fabulously formal” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Fabulously formal

If you want to opt for a fuller skirt, airy tulle and chiffon will keep you cool at your destination wedding. ‘Elsbeth’ by Josephine Scott has an inner corset, giving you a gorgeous silhouette, wrapped in dreamy layers of tulle that will move beautifully in the gentle sea breeze.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Fabulously-formal.jpg” alt=”Fabulously formal ” title_text=”Fabulously formal ” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Whatever your big day bridal style or location” sticky_enabled=”0″]

How to manage wedding anxiety during the wedding planning process

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Your wedding will inevitably” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Your wedding will inevitably be one of the most important days of your life, so it’s important you’re able to dedicate as much time as you need to tick every box on your planning checklist. But with so much to think about, this process can soon take a toll on your mental health, with lots of nearly-weds noting feelings of anxiety, depression and chronic stress. In fact, as many as 72% of engaged and newlywed couples described the process of planning a wedding as “very” or “extremely” stressful.

While there’s no getting around the fact that difficult decisions will have to be made during this time, there are lots of ways you can help to mitigate the stress associated with designing your dream wedding. In this post, we will provide you with four top tips to help you manage your time and ultimately your mental wellbeing during this exciting but sometimes stressful chapter of your life…

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/deal-with-any-feelings-of-anxiety.jpg” alt=”deal with any feelings of anxiety” title_text=”deal with any feelings of anxiety” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”4em||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”4em||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”3em||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”4em||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”4em||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”3em||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Take some breaks” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Take some breaks

Planning a wedding can soon consume your entire headspace and take up just about any free time you have. However, as important as it is to feel in control and on top of your to-do list, it’s just as crucial you take some time out for yourself.

In order to feel comfortable taking enough breaks, you should look to start the process at least 12 months in advance. This will allow you enough time to hopefully create the wedding of your dreams, without feeling too overwhelmed in doing so. But, if you feel like you’d benefit from a longer engagement, then you should feel comfortable deal with any feelings of anxiety taking as much time as you need to help ease the pressure and it is never too early to start looking for your dream dress!

When you do take a break, there are lots of techniques recommended by experts to help you. Whether you try mindfulness and practice breathing exercises or simply take some time out to talk with someone you trust, it’s important to find a way to cope with the stress that works for you.

Remember you’re not alone

Weddings are the perfect opportunity to bring your entire support network of family and friends together – but you don’t have to wait until the big day to make them a part of your journey. Ask for support wherever you feel you may need it and share the load of your to-do list. Perhaps there’s a handy baker in the family who can help to make the wedding cake. Or, maybe you have a friend with some creative ideas about decorations, placemats or even invitations. You can even ask people to simply collect their empty jars or bottles for table decorations.

Lean on the special skills of your friends and family (and their goodwill) and you will soon feel far more relaxed about the process. Not only does this take some of the pressure off of your shoulders, but having different people contribute to your wedding in some small way makes it that little bit more special and unique.

All of our TDR Brides have access to the exclusive TDR Brides club on Facebook, an amazing network of brides, who are going through the wedding planning process at the same time as you and a great sounding board or any wedding related worries.

But you have the final say

As much as you may be grateful for generous offers of help from loved ones, it’s important to remember that ultimately you are in charge of how you’d like the day to go. One of the main triggers of anxiety for many people during the planning process is feeling like they are trying to please everyone at once. This is where it’s so important for you and your partner to carefully consider the aspects of your day that are most important to you, to provide your planning with some focus.

Whether you’re ditching the first dance or perhaps dreaming of a small, intimate affair, the day’s proceedings are ultimately completely your choice. It’s helpful to have input and advice from people who have been there and done it, but don’t let these opinions adversely affect your plans.

Limit social scrolling

Social media can be an invaluable tool during the planning process. Whether you’re trawling through dress ideas on Pinterest or looking up dream venues on Instagram, these platforms are great at providing some inspiration. However, it’s no secret that social media can also have negative effects on our mental wellbeing, and it’s no different when we’re using it to assist in the wedding planning process.

You may already feel under pressure to live up to the expectations of your family, and social media can only exacerbate these feelings. There are often unrealistic expectations set on these platforms to host the biggest and best picture-perfect wedding. As difficult as it may be, try and limit the time you spend looking at wedding-related content, and instead focus on setting and meeting your own personal expectations of the day.

Choosing the wedding dress that’s right for you

[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”For every bride on the planet” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]

For every bride on the planet, choosing the wedding dress that’s right for you is an expression of your personal style, culture and family traditions. You may have been planning and dreaming of your wedding dress since you were eight years old and have had an idea in your mind down to the shape of the sequins and style of the buttons, but once you start looking at the stunning choices of wedding dress designers and different styles as well as the range of gorgeous fabrics that are available, your long dreamed of plans may start to change.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Maybe you have no preconceived ideas” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Maybe you have no preconceived ideas, you might have been surprised by an out-of-the-blue proposal and never given a thought before that moment about your choice of wedding dress. Well don’t worry, TDR Bridal Suite has got you covered with some great tips and ideas on choosing the wedding dress that’s right for you.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Choosing your wedding dress need not be stressful” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|600|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”4em||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”4em||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”2em||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”26px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Choosing your wedding dress need not be stressful

Finding your dream wedding dress does not have to be stressful. We understand that it’s a garment you will probably have never tried on before, and it is likely to be the most expensive dress that many women will ever own, but with TDR Bridals’ experienced stylists and being one of Britain’s largest bridal boutiques you benefit from the fact that we stock more dress collections than your average dress shop, giving you a wide variety of styles and designs to ensure that Choosing the wedding dress that’s right for you could not be easier.

Once you start to see and hear terms such as a-line, beaded collar, fishtail, fit-and-flare, organza etc it can be a little bewildering. For some brides, it’s like taking a new language course or trying to decipher a foreign holiday menu.

And then of course there are the fantastic designers whose creativity makes you gasp.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Designers such as Justin Alexander” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Designers such as Justin Alexander who is one of the world’s biggest bridal names, produce wonderful bridal gowns that are style conscious and glamorous. Some may think of the collection as modern or contemporary but they often come with a subtle vintage twist.

Contemporary fabrics with modern design and finish add a luxurious feel to many of Justin’s dresses. Each one is beautifully cut and features a range of hemlines and necklines.

If you want to put the wow in your wedding, look no further!

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Another favourite designer” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Another favourite designer in the TDR bridal collection is the beautiful romantic style from Rebecca Ingram.

Fun and carefree are words that perfectly describe her fabulous collection. Brides looking for something a little bit different like a soft, floaty, romantic style for a beach destination wedding, for example, will love this label. If you are blessed with a fuller figure and want to showcase your assets, add a Queen Anne high collar at the back with a deep neckline.

Stunning styles in fabulous fabrics at very affordable prices, that is the beauty of Rebecca Ingram.

To train or not to train is another big decision for many brides and an easy one for others. Whether or not you want a wedding dress train is a personal choice. Some people imagine gliding down the aisle with a fluffy, taffeta cloud in their wake; others simply don’t want the hassle.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”If you’re someone who simply can’t decide” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]

If you’re someone who simply can’t decide, then take a look at our truly beautiful Allure Couture collection that we are so excited to have in-store for 2023. All the dramatic, sartorial touches and luxurious textiles you could possibly imagine were poured into this beautiful collection.

With stardust glitter tulle and pearl beaded English net, beaded embroidered appliqués and an overflow of sequinned lacework, you will not want to miss these dresses! Accents of modernity are counterbalanced beautifully by a return to timeless fabrics, organdy and Chantilly lace.

And lots of trains.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”An altogether mesmerising collection” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

An altogether mesmerising collection which we at TDR Bridal are totally in love with, and we know you will be too.

But it’s not about what we love, our job is to spend however long it takes and do whatever it takes to be with you and offer our expertise in choosing the wedding dress that’s right for you.

Before we highlight another stunning designer we want to say a little about size and shape. We are all different and beautiful in our own way, We get asked if we do “plus size?” and our answer is always the same, we sell wedding dresses.

By that we mean we sell wedding dresses for real women of all shapes and sizes but what we don’t do is label women and put them in categories.

Real women and real bodies are what we’re all about. We feel passionate about this and would never wish to categorise you because your clothing size is different to the next person?

Every bride at TDR Bridal is equal in our eyes and receives the same love, service and assistance. Which is exactly how it should be.

Taking a more retro perspective, let’s take a quick look at some more stunning designer wedding dresses.

If you want to be different and have a love of vintage styling then the fabulously talented House of Mooshki collection will take your breath away. Based in the North East of England, Mooshki are the wedding dress gurus for custom designed vintage-inspired 1950s tea-length wedding dresses. Each dress comes with seven different skirt styles, which makes the collection huge and diverse.

Inspired by the 1940s and 50s, the dresses look and feel contemporary, appealing to a wide range of brides looking for something unique, quirky and a little bit different.

Eternally elegant and feminine, the mere mention of a mid-century wedding dress evokes the elegance of a bygone era. Soft laces, stunning beadwork and sleek silhouettes are the ingredients for every House of Mooshki wedding gown.

If you’re not into the full vintage look then a Madison James collection wedding dress might be the one.

The beautiful designs blur the lines between modern and vintage, appealing to a sense of whimsy and romance. These stunning dresses are thoughtfully crafted, so you’ll look and feel amazing. With carefully selected light, fabulous fabrics that feel soft against your skin and never weigh you down.

They have a patented Cool Touch lining which keeps you cool and fresh from the moment you put the dress on until you finally take it off. This fabric makes the range perfect for the stunning beach wedding you might be planning.

We can’t wait for you to try some of them on.

We have only touched on some of our fantastically talented wedding dress designers whose collections we stock and we know your jaw will simply drop when you see the full TDR Bridal range. Our super lovely friendly consultants are with you every step of the journey and your happiness when choosing the wedding dress that’s right for you is our goal.

It’s your special day, so look and feel special.

Trying on the wedding dress

Once your appointment to visit us is booked, take a little time to think about trying on the wedding dress of your dreams.

Bring with you what you think you will wear underneath and with your dress.

The reason we say this is that we want you to see the dresses in all their perfection and it’s far from easy to envisage how a strapless dress really looks when your floral bra straps are sticking out, or how a curve-hugging gown would fit once your hips are smoothed if you have your gym shorts on.

We advise that you wear a patternless thong and strapless bra, and bring some spandex if you need to, but if comfort is going to be your main concern, go with whatever is going to work for you. If you’re wearing heels, bring them.

Don’t overthink things before your visit, there are no industry standards for wedding dresses and designers take into account real women’s sizes and shapes and use a huge array of styles and fabrics.

One of the most important aspects of the dress is the fit. We embrace differences, and so should you.

Final Words

The TDR Bridal consultants will tell you stories of how many times they see excited brides stepping through our doors with a set idea of what they want for a gown, then upon actually trying it on they find they don’t actually love it as much as they thought they would and often, fall for something completely different they’d never considered.

Keep an open mind while wedding dress shopping. You may find your dream dress is the one you never envisaged would be your dream dress.

Choosing the wedding dress that’s right for you is an important decision that should never be hurried. Wedding dress designers are genius at taking their time and getting it perfect, and we stock collections from some of the best bridal gown designers in the world.

Money-saving hacks to help you make your wedding day
dreams come true…

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_text_align=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”It’s a well-known fact that weddings are” sticky_enabled=”0″]

It’s a well-known fact that weddings are expensive and now more than ever we are looking at ways to have your dream day for less. There are ways to keep costs down! With savvy spending and realistic expectations, you can plan your dream wedding on a budget. Not sure how to start? We’re here to help…

First things first, sit down with your fiancé and make a list of priorities for your big day. Fresh flowers filling the venue might be a must-have to you, while an extravagant four tier wedding cake might be something you’re happy to cut costs on. Work out your wedding budget and start to plan where you think the pounds should be spent.

The venue is likely to eat up a large portion of your wedding budget. To try and keep costs down enquire about dates outside of peak season. Typically, the price is higher during the summer and over the weekend. Consider marrying midweek or embracing a winter wedding. If you’re venue has both your ceremony and reception area on-site you can dramatically reduce the cost of transporting guests from two separate venues.

Food and drink is an important part of your day, especially for your guests. Catering can also eat up a big chunk of your budget. If you’re allowed to bring your own alcohol to your venue, you can save money by buying in bulk. Avoid spirits and opt for wine and beer instead to keep your costs low. Swap out silver service for a more relaxed atmosphere, serving a buffet-style spread. From barbecues to food trucks, guests can fill their boots (or their bellies!) and you can reduce the price per person. In the case that you want a traditional sit down meal, offer canapés instead of starters or a doughnut wall, cupcakes or brownie tower in place of a plated dessert.

Changing your bridal look from day to night usually involves a wardrobe change, meaning you need to buy two outfits. But if your budget doesn’t allow for that, fear not. Transition dresses are rising in popularity. Choose a gown with detachable sleeves/skirt, a removable train or a bolero you can take off to give you two looks in one.

When it comes to decor, think about how you will use your venue. If you have floral pew ends in your ceremony space, could these be moved to become part of your centrepieces? Can your ceremony back drop be utilised again to become a photo wall? Your guests are likely to all be in one place at a time, so it makes sense to reuse your flowers and decorations across different parts of your day. Become a savvy shopper when searching for decorations. For candleholders and vases, garden games and sweetie jars check out marketplaces and second hand shops to see if you can grab a bargain.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://tdr.op-staging.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/make-DIY-decorations-to-fill-your-venue.jpg” alt=”make DIY decorations to fill your venue” title_text=”make DIY decorations to fill your venue” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” admin_label=”Think about the skills your friends” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Think about the skills your friends and family have. If your bridesmaids are artistic they could help you make DIY decorations to fill your venue. If you have a family member who is a keen baker you could ask them if they could make your wedding cake. People like to be involved and are usually honoured to be asked. From a guest also taking on the role of toastmaster to your girlfriends helping you write envelopes, ask for help and make your wedding dreams a reality.

If you have blown your budget, why not put cash on you wish list in replacement for gifts? Here’s a little how to, thanks to Brides magazine.
