Beware of Online Discounters!

Thinking of shopping online for your gown? Beware of the risk!

Many online shops are set up to prey on hopeful brides. They advertise deeply discounted prices on couture gowns, and brides think they have found a great deal. However, the risk is often greater than the dollars saved.

Online discounters will list gowns by popular designers such as Maggie Sottero, Sottero & Midgley, Mori Lee, and Casablanca. They will show photos of gowns along with deeply discounted prices. Please remember that if something seems too good to be true, it usually is!!

Our designers do not associate with these types of discounters. By purchasing from one of these websites, you are at risk of not receiving your gown and therefore losing your money. We were recently notified about a couple different websites like these, which are fraudulently selling bridal gowns. None of the designers that are listed on these websites are connected with the actual designers. Companies such as these are taking advantage of brides, as well as the designers whose gowns they claim to sell.

Your wedding gown is a very important purchase! Please be sure you are dealing with a reputable company!! Otherwise you stand to lose your money and have no gown for your wedding day. You wouldn't be the first or second customer to walk through our door with this story. The money you think you are saving is not worth the heartache!

Support your local businesses and make sure you are dealing with reputable companies when planning your wedding!!! XOXO
