High street chic - recession busting bridalwear

We all know that weddings are an expensive business and knowing where to cut back costs when attempting to plan your big day is never easy.

Whilst I am a strong advocate of bridal stores and have had amazing advice and service from them, we are seeing amazing bridal ranges coming through on the high street as a increasingly affordable and stylish alternative.

The high street have earmarked the bridal arena as big business and many of the big department stores such as House of Fraser now bridal fitting rooms so they are able offer the bridal experience without premium prices.

Here are some of my favourites from the high street


This stunning boho creation is from Biba at House of Fraser and retails for £595.http://www.houseoffraser.com/

Phase Eight and Coast have emerged in to the wedding dress market with both offering dresses for under the £400 mark without scrimping on design
