IS A SAMPLE GOWN RIGHT FOR YOU?
At Olive & Ivory, we want every bride that visits us to have an amazing experience with those who matter most to her. After helping thousands of bride’s find the wedding dress of their dreams, we've compiled our top ten tips for stress free wedding gown shopping. Every bride that has ever planned a wedding knows knows how quickly expenses can add up. By the time you pick a venue, a caterer, and a photographer, it can feel like you’ve already cracked the budget wide open. It doesn’t help that the words “wedding” and “bargain” hardly ever go together unless you’re talking about getting married on a Tuesday afternoon in February.
But bridal sample gowns are wonderful exception to these rules. You can find a beautiful designer gown, come in under budget, and walk right out the door with it. Sound like a sample gown might be right for you? Check out the top three reasons to consider buying from a Designer sample gown:
They’re On Time
Timing is everything, and wedding timing is unlike anything you’ve dealt with before. Most brides start planning their wedding at least a year in advance because of how long things take. Ordering a bridal gown, for example, takes anywhere from three to ten months! There are rush options available, and occasional exceptions based on designer and style, but in general, a bridal gown takes much longer than you would think to arrive.
That means that if you didn’t start your bridal shopping a year in advance you might be feeling a little stressed out. Don’t worry. Sample gowns don’t need to be ordered. You simply walk in, find your dream gown, and leave with it that day. If you are on a tight timeline, had a sudden change of plans, or just can’t wait to get married, Olive & Ivory has gowns ready to go home with you today.
They’re On Budget
Some brides have a large portion of their wedding budget dedicated solely to their bridal gown, but lots of other brides want to be pragmatic and practical. Something that we’ve heard often is the struggle of spending “so much money” on a dress that you only wear once. While we absolutely see the value of splurging on the most important piece of clothing you’ll ever wear (on the most photographed day of your life, no less), we also love a good deal! We carry designer gowns in excellent condition in a wide variety of styles and sizes for roughly 30 to 60 percent off of the original retail price. Style and thrift combined? That makes you one smart bride.
They’re On Trend
With a nearly constant influx of gowns, we always have something new to show you! That means we have a lot of variety, but not a lot of space. As new gowns make their way in, we need to make room. This constant rotation means that gowns that are put on sale are still in excellent condition, and they are still stylish, beautiful and modern. We’ve got all your favorite designers too. Find recent gowns from Enzoani, Wtoo, Martina Liana, Essense of Australia, Maggie Sottero and more. Our inventory is continuously growing. Check out a glimpse of the latest sale gowns in our online shop, but remember to move fast. We know a lot of stylish and savvy brides.
