Q I'm looking for an elegant dress that's easy to dance the night away in. What would you suggest?
A Mara Dietrich says: At Mara Marie Bridal, we value the importance of a gown that lets you dance comfortably all night. Consider a second gown like our Lancaster mini for a shorter, carefree look made from gorgeous satin fabric and featuring a dramatic bow. This gown can also come with a removable skirt for a trend-setting look that will wow your guests.

If you're devoted to one dress, our Payton gown is the perfect option crafted from lightweight organza with a dramatic slit. With everyone talking about flash photography, the pearly sheen of the fabric will look elegant through the camera's lens from day to night.

We recommend our Acton gown if you want something more fitted. It's crafted from a gorgeous blended satin crepe, giving it some stretch with a luxurious sheen.

Whether your gown is fitted or a voluminous ball gown, the key comes down to the fabric it's created from. When looking for your perfect style, mention to your sales associate that you want a gown that will look elegant all night. From second looks to dramatic slits or airy organza, there are many ways your sales associate can help you find the perfect gown to dance the night away in!

Q I'd love the dream designer dress, but the price tag will be out of my league right now. Are there any options that would make me feel a million dollars, but at a more affordable price?
A Claire Weeks says: The short answer here is yes! We stock dresses for all budgets, but what's important to remember is to make sure you let your bridal boutique know what your budget is. They'll then help you to find the most amazing dress for your budget and trust me, regardless of the price tag, you'll feel beautiful in it.

At The Wedding Wardrobe, we offer a service called Something Borrowed, where you can hire designer dresses for a fraction of the buying price. These gowns are perfect for those on a tighter budget. The dresses range from timeless classic designs to glamorous gowns, ensuring every budget and style is catered for.

The hire service is straight forward and stress-free. We take care of dry cleaning, and you can forget about long waiting times, because with Something Borrowed, you can pick up your bridal dress rental in as little as a week from your order date.
