Time to grab a Bridal Bargain!
Sample Sale ‘23 is here
It won’t be long until we’re ‘ooing’ and ‘aahhing’ at the latest creations from our designers as they showcase their 2024 collections. To make some space for new designs, we’re selling a selection of our samples off-the-peg for a bridal bargain.
Instead of one weekend, this year we’re holding the sale across a whole week of appointments. So there’s simply no reason to miss out if this sounds perfect for you.
Book an appointment with us on the 12th, 14th, 15th or 16th April and you’ll have the opportunity to take home one of our beautiful outfits on the day. Simply book a first or second view appointment as you would any other week to secure your space in our diaries.
Which bridal outfits are included and at what price?
We’ll have outfits from all of our designers included in the selection, at prices from £500-£1500.
Jesus Peiro - Incredible tailoring, insanely luxe fabrics and contemporary design.
Charlie Brear - The very best of bias cut, clean line bridal and styling additions for that 2-in-1 look.
Hera Couture - Ball gowns but make them couture style.
Rembo Styling - Boho beauties with statement lace, incredible backs and the softest, flowy skirts.
Love Story Bride - Elegant, refined, clean line and sexy, with delicate but statement laces.
Eliza Jane Howell - Sensational beaded dresses, amazing shaping and vintage glam.
Why should I consider a sample sale purchase?
For some, buying off-the-peg (OTP) is an immediate and obvious answer from the off! Whilst other brides may not have considered a ready-made dress/outfit from a bridal boutique.
Other than the obvious that you get to bag a bargain, here are a few reasons why buying OTP can be a great option:
Your wedding date is around the corner, and you’d like to get your outfit sorted without going down the made-to-order route, or spending on rush fees (usually required for a guaranteed turnaround in under 3-4 months).
You love the designers on offer but they sit outside of your ideal spend unless OTP.
Our sample dresses are kept in great condition, and we can recommend an amazing (like, seriously incredible) specialist wedding dress cleaner if you want it to be as close to new as possible before the big day.
You still have the guidance and expertise of our styling and experience, and our little black book of seamstresses and tailors who can fit your chosen outfit to perfection (more on sizing below).
You’re buying a ready made dress that hasn’t had to be produced*. If your wedding has a focus on being as environmentally friendly as possible then buying OTP is definitely worth considering.
*A side note on production: all our designers make each dress/outfit to order, which significantly reduces waste on the production of outfits that may or may not be sold.
What sizes do your samples come in?
Our samples range in size from 10-18, and most are 12-16. Generally, we suggest you can alter an outfit by around 2 sizes to make it the perfect fit for you, and we’ll guide you through all of this as you get to play dress up.
It is much easier to alter down to a size than up, but there are tips and tricks we can suggest if you fall in love with an outfit that’s just a little too snug.
I’m sold! What’s next?
Simply book an appointment (select ‘weekday bridal appointment’ (£0) or ‘weekend bridal appointment’ (£20) on the 12th, 14th, 15th or 16th April and you’re good to go!
