EVERY bride wants to feel beautiful on their wedding day, especially when they have all eyes on them as they walk down the aisle. But from beauty treatments and tweakments to professional hair and makeup on the big day, costs can add up. Yet one of the biggest priorities for many brides, and the most expensive one, is the dress.

The transformational mindset coach, 39, took on the enormous task of planning her August 2024 wedding to husband Michael, 38, by herself. She said: "I didn’t want a big wedding as I’m quite introverted, but my husband Michael really wanted a big do.
"So we compromised and did a small registry office ceremony in May and a lavish country house wedding in August. "I wanted to stick to a budget and source the cheapest ways to do things.". She added: "I was more concerned with budgeting for things that my guests would enjoy at the wedding, like an ice cream van, than my actual dress.
"I figured I was only going to wear the dress one day out of my whole life, so I didn’t even want to spend hundreds let alone thousands. "I didn’t go to any bridal stores to try on dresses, so I wasn’t even sure of the style I wanted.". So Samantha was delighted when she spotted a bargain dress on Vinted.
