Cheap Wedding Dresses
Wedding dresses can be a very expensive part of wedding taking up 8-10% of your overall budget. With the average wedding costing approximately £17,000 that could equate to £1,700!
Unfortunately not everyone has a wedding budget of £17,000 but every single bride deserves to look beautiful on her big day no matter how small her budget may be.
So, where can brides buy cheap wedding dresses?
Oxfam
Yes, you heard me correctly; Oxfam sells hundreds of new wedding dresses each week through their specialist bridal departments! Oxfam states that over 95% of its wedding dresses are new and have actually originated from high-end wedding retailers and catwalk shows! Not only that - but they also have a range of sizes.
The average cost of an Oxfam wedding dress is just £250.00 and if you buy one of them you will not only be keeping your wedding costs down by buying a cheap wedding dress, but you will also be doing a good deed. £250 could "provide 100 people with clean water, build two toilets, train one midwife and feed a family for a month".
When the wedding is over, why not let someone else benefit and donate your wedding dress and accessories back to Oxfam? Not only will another bride to be able to benefit from a cheap wedding dress, but you will also be enabling Oxfam to continue their good work.
