Smart Brides, Belladonna Bridal and The White Room will host their ANNUAL SAMPLE SALE in the Smart Brides luxury showroom in Portlaoise on January, 4, 5 and 6 2024.
This special event will be by appointment only. Every bride will have a private fitting room and a dedicated bridal consultant to help find her dream wedding dress for less with a great selection of wedding dresses to choose from, priced €300-€900.
The bridal consultants team replied to some of the most asked questions:
What is a Bridal Sample Sale?
A bridal sample sale is an event where bridal shops sell their sample dresses at discounted prices. Sample dresses are the wedding dresses that brides try on in the boutique. They are usually in excellent condition. A Bridal Sample Sale is a great opportunity for brides to find a beautiful designer wedding dress at a lower cost. It is also a perfect chance for a bride with a close wedding date to choose a wedding dress without having to wait for it to be made to order.
Should I know what I want?
As a rule, we don’t advise a Sample Sale as a ‘good first experience’ of wedding dress shopping. It does help to have tried on dresses previously. Most brides find exactly what they are looking for…even if they didn’t realise it beforehand!
Can I see the dresses in advance?
We will have sneak peeks of the dresses in the sale on our social media pages in advance of the sale. If there’s any dress you have your eye on, get in touch with us and we’ll let you know if it’s going to be in the sale.
What sizes will be available?
Sizes will range from 10-26. We always remind brides that sizes in wedding dresses are different to everyday clothing, and you may find that you need to size up to get the right fit for you.
Do I buy on the day?
Always go to a Bridal Sample Sale prepared to ‘Say Yes to the Dress’. Everything is on a first come, first served basis so you don’t want to miss out on the dress of your dreams by having someone else buy it!
