How to grab yourself discounted designer wedding dresses at the wedding shows!

It is possible to grab yourself a bargain with discounted designer wedding dresses at wedding shows as for a few years I organised wedding shows at big four star hotels.

The really big national shows sometimes have areas that will be dedicated as changing rooms, I know of brides that have been able to save themselves more than half the cost of their perfect discounted designer wedding dresses by doing battle at wedding shows.

Joking aside you need to be ready to fight for your dress. There will be hundreds of other brides that will be looking for the same thing.

Be prepared know exactly which bridal shops, chains or designers will be at the show and if you can, try to know before hand the type of dress you are looking for. Try on lots of different styles at local bridal shops to find your perfect dress. Take that image in your head with you to the wedding show.

On the day of the show make sure you are dressed in easy to get off clothes, sounds odd but you don't want to miss the best bargain while you are getting changed. Taking people with you to act as runners is a great idea as they can pass you different sizes etc. As a word of warning the changing rooms are normally packed so you may want to go straight to this area first and then spend time browsing at the rest of the show.

If you are only able to get to local shows then again it is worth knowing who the dress shop will be. Most dress exhibitors will be putting on a fashion show which will attract more brides to be and for this they will normally get their exhibition stand for free. However most fashion shows are always short of models, so if you fancy getting in with the dress shop to get favourable discounts this could be a good option for you! Just speak with the bridal shop when you visit to try lots of dresses on.
