Houseofbrides.com

House of Brides touts itself as the world’s largest online wedding store, and we’re not going to be the ones to challenge that. You can shop for the entire bridal party on one site, from your own gown to the mother of the bride’s outfit to the tiniest flowergirl’s. International shipping is free for all orders over $599.

Jcrew.com

Preppy outfitters J. Crew have a small but select bridal range in their online shop, with many dresses under €500 and the most expensive ones barely reaching over €1,000. There isn’t a great variety in terms of design, but sometimes, less is more.

Netaporter.com

Net-a-porter is where smart fashionistas go to get their designer swag, but did you know you can buy your wedding dress there too? The site stocks a range of altar-ready gowns from big designer names including Temperley London, Alexander Wang, Giambattista Valli and Alexander McQueen.

WeddingtonWay.com

Granted, this site is targeted more towards bridesmaid dresses – however, nobody’s going to stop you from buying a pretty ivory or blush sheath and making it your own if you’re in the market for a simpler kind of wedding dress at a fantastic price.

TOP TIP: What you see on the screen and what you end up getting in the post may not always match up to your expectations. Be wary of offers that look too good, look up reviews from former clients and make sure the vendor has an easy returns policy in case you want a change or a refund. Make sure you also order far ahead of the wedding day, to allow time for any changes or returns to take place and to give yourself time to look for an alternative. It’s also worth paying attention to shipping and customs charges, which can be far more than you’re prepared to fork out.
