Now you might be asking yourself, what is a sample wedding gown and how do I get my hands on one?
Please, let me explain…
Every year bridal gown designers come out with their new collection of gowns at the bridal markets in NYC, Chicago, and Las Vegas. Bridal salons all over the country go to bridal markets where they decide which designers they will carry.
Once they decide on their designers, they will generally purchase between six and sixteeen wedding gowns in sizes 8-12 representing that designer’s latest collection. The bridal salons then use these gowns as “samples” to show brides-to-be and to then take orders on them.
As time goes on, the bridal salon may wish to sell some of these sample wedding gowns to recover a portion of their cost. The salon may wish to sell their sample wedding gowns for a variety of reasons – the gown may be discontinued by the manufacturer or not showing well, or perhaps the salon has stopped carrying that entire collection.
This sample wedding gown then becomes available for purchase by brides and sample wedding gown sellers such as www.Bridepower.com. Below are some of the most commonly asked questions about sample wedding gowns.
