Let's be real: online shopping can be scary, especially when it comes to shopping for your super important bridal gown. Sizes can be all wrong, it can be a nightmare to ship, gowns are often made in China, which makes customer service virtually non-existant. And what if you get the dress and you hate it? Some online sites have no guarantee, and a complicated return process.
Knowing all of this, I'm excited to feature today's vendor, Simplybridal.com. They are an online retailer offering custom made wedding dresses at "I can't believe it" prices (read: most less than $600, some under $100). Sound too good to be true? Here's what I found in my research (and there are a lot of pros!): they are an American company (based in CA), they offer low prices, beautiful gowns made with quality materials. They offer custom sizing and an amazingly QUICK turn around (30 calendar days!!!), as well as a 30 day money back guarantee, all backed by the Better Business Bureau. They've been featured on Style Me Pretty, Wedding Chicks, and the SF Gate (the San Francisco Chronicle), all legitimate sources.
So, why so cheap? Simply Bridal aims to cut out the middle man, with the belief that weddings shouldn't cost the bride a fortune (a belief I can agree with!). Simply Bridal offers their product online, cutting out the cost of high end boutiques or salons, giving each bride a made to fit gown that is not only affordable but beautiful. Their styles are right on par with the latest trends, most likely because they employ graduates from FIDM (Lauren Conrad's alma mater) and FITNYC (big names in the fashion industry). Just take a look:

Simply Bridal Iris Gown
Simply Bridal Emma Gown (my favorite)
Their website is also a great resource for brides looking for inspiration or trends, and it's easy to navigate. Each dress features several pictures and a video, so you get a good idea of what you're purchasing. They also have bridesmaids dresses, veils and accessories.
I could go on and on about the site, but you really have to head over and check it out for yourself.
In exciting news, the team over at Simply Bridal is offering Party for Less readers a special 15% off discount code that can be applied to any purchase! Just enter the code below in at checkout, but hurry, the code expires July 6th. Now is also the time to buy, as there is currently a limited time sale running.
If you make a purchase, let me know! I would love to see your dress in action.
Happy shopping!
