Have you bought your wedding gown yet?  This  might be your perfect opportunity!  Carine’s Bridal Atelier is hosting a sample sale this weekend.

What’s a sample sale, you ask?

Have you ever been to a bridal salon?  All those dresses hanging on the racks are gown samples, intended for brides to try on before ordering one directly from the manufacturer.  Once a new collection comes in for the next season, the ‘old’ gowns need to be sold to make space for the new ones.  Of course these are high-quality designer-made gowns so really there’s nothing terribly wrong with them.  Sometimes there might be a sequin or bead missing, a small tear, a little bit of dirt, or some other minor and fixable problem.  Other times they’re just like brand new and ready to go!  When you decide to purchase a sample gown, you’ll walk out of the store with it that day.  Remember that bridal gown samples are usually around a size 10 (street size so if you’re petite or plus-sized you may not have much luck at a sample sale.

With designer gowns discounted to $999-1899 (from $3k-9k), this could be a HUGE money-saver for your wedding.  They have name brands like Angel Sanchez, Carolina Herrera, Karl Lagerfeld, Kenneth Pool, Monique Lhullier, Reem Acra and more.  Click here to see what they’ll have available.  Why  not go check it out and see if there’s anything you like?  Here’s the details:
