I’m a fashion whizz – seven places brides on a budget need to look for their dream wedding dress for less than £1,000
A FASHION whizz has revealed the top budget places to get a wedding dress in London.
Serena Kohar got married herself in 2023 and has been using her social media accounts to share tips and tricks in the run up to the big day.
And in one clip, she unveiled the seven stores in London that have the absolute best deals on wedding dresses.
“Where to get wedding dresses for under £1,000 in the UK,” she said, starting the clip off.
Dressed in a grey ribbed jumper with her hair tied back with a band, she said the first place to look is Whistles.
“First up is Whistles,” she said. “It goes down to £500, sometimes it goes down to £250.”
She then suggested people look at Ghost London, which has dresses from around £400.
Serena continued: “Then we have Needle & Thread. Pretty, but again around £500 to £600.”
Next up, she suggested brides look at Monsoon’s website, which has elegant dresses starting from £250 to around £500.
Chi Chi London is also another good option, Serena revealed, as it has some stunning options from around £85 upwards.
“Then we have Hope & Ivy, around £150,” she said, showing off the colourful options available on the website.
“And last one we have House of CB, £600 roughly and more sassy style wedding dresses for sure,” she added,
“Brides on a budget, you’re welcome,” she wrote in the caption alongside an angel face emoji.
People were quick to comment on the post as one person asked: “Do you know any apart from chi chi they do petite?”
TikTok user @serenakohar replied: “Hmm have you looked at wed2b or David’s bridal? Seems like lots of people have mentioned them and they’ve got so many options.
“Also I feel like you always need to somewhat alter wedding dresses so could look into that too? Hope that helps”.
Another person asked: “But is the quality the same as on the photos tho?”
She replied: “That’s always the issue with online shopping isn’t it… I got my civil ceremony one from whistles and the quality is great tbh.”
Another shared: “Self Portrait do gorgeous designer dresses for well under a grand! You can shop directly on their website or through net a porter”.
While a fourth added: “The cheaper it got the better the dresses,” to which she replied: “It do be like that sometimes”.
Meanwhile, one woman revealed she wore a £17 wedding dress on her big day… and while she spent thousands on a posh one too, it just didn’t give the right vibe.
And another bride has been slammed for wearing a see-through wedding dress, but people say the bridesmaids’ gowns are even worse.
