WARNING - DO NOT BUY A WEDDING GOWN ONLINE!

When searching for a good bridal gown online store, there are many of them that show up in your search results however, there are a lot of online bridal stores who use original designer wedding gown photos and slash the price dramatically in the hopes of persuading online shoppers that they’re getting a huge deal on designer dresses.

Here is REAL DEAL-- Designers DO NOT support online bridal stores! I have contacted all possible designers that you could think of, and NONE OF THEM support online bridal stores (unless the online bridal store has a physical bridal boutique). So, what do these online stores sell? They sell designer replica gowns. What I am strongly against is using the designers’ original photos to promote their products and mislead the  shopper. If they want to create their own version of the designer gowns, they have to make an effort to create a sample dress for their buyers to see—NOT just show the original photo and tell them “your dress will look similar to this…” There are a lot of bride-to-be’s who still fall for this scam.

Please do not be misled, and if it sounds to good to be true it is and you get what you pay for. Go to a bridal shop where you can try on, touch and see exactly what your gown is going to look like. This will save you a lot of heartache and money in the long run.
