The search for the perfect wedding dress can take months (years, in some cases, or so we’ve heard…), and finding a good deal can be next to impossible. For some, you’ll be so relieved when you finally find The Dress you’ll plunk down whatever it costs. But if you’re searching for a great gown and a great deal and you’re the sort of person capable of making quick decisions: good news! You can find sample sale vintage inspired bridal gowns and discount designer wedding dresses at truly amazing prices all over the web.
While some designer discount sites require all items to be sold as-is or final sale, there are plenty that have the same return protections and policies as other sites. The main difference? They often only have a few of each gown in stock, or one or two sizes, so you need to make a snap decision if you’re interested, or another bride might beat you to it!
Today we’re going to feature a few of our current favorite heavily discounted designer wedding dresses, and sample sale vintage inspired bridal gowns: every single one is marked down at least 50% from its original retail price, and a few as much as 80%. Think fast, ladies! And good luck.
First up, this gorgeous 1920s beaded flapper dress was originally $348 now marked down to $83 (!!). Available in only a few sizes now, including a plus size option. Perfect for a reception dress too. If you want it, you better hustle!
Mega bridal retailer David’s Bridal has a giant section on their website devoted entirely to sample sale wedding dresses, and there are a lot of stellar finds in there, including these beauties:
Another lovely flapper / reception dress find from Unique Vintage, this 1920s Ivory Flapper Dress was originally $350, now marked down 50% (this one has a few more sizes left, and is also available in plus sizing):
We’d be remiss if we didn’t remind you to be sure to check out the rotating selection of stunning vintage inspired wedding dresses in our very own Art Deco Shop (some bargains to be had!). And then finally we’ve got this collection of heavily discounted designer wedding gowns from Sue Wong, BHLDN and more. Happy shopping, and think fast!
We’re back! Sorry for the delay in posting, it has been a crazy few weeks. But here we are. And tonight we’ve got a lovely set of vintage wedding photos courtesy of Michelle McMurray, founder of Wedding Story Writer. These images are scans of actual wedding photos from the 1920s and 30s, and there are …
In search of more 1920’s wedding dresses to feature, we recently stumbled upon a designer we were instantly, madly, deeply in love with. The designer? Galia Lahav. The photo that took our breath away (and zoomed this post to the top of the queue)? Take a look: GASP. That’s kind of all there is to …
Today we’re going to talk about one of our favorite looks: the classic elegance of vintage style long sleeve wedding gowns. One of the best things about planning a wedding in modern times: the choices. So many choices! OK, so this can also be an overwhelming aspect of the planning process, and can at times …
A couple things become immediately clear from this Bonwit Teller ad (pulled from a 1929 issue of Vogue Magazine). First of all, there is no downside to the drama of a long, gorgeous cap veil. Even with (maybe especially with) the sleek lines of a 20s style wedding dress. Secondly, can we bring back “gowned” …
