SELLING YOUR GOWN

 You have the fabulous photos, framed and mounted, to remind you of your wedding day.  And now realise that your daughter, like you, will want to choose her own beautiful gown for her special day; that you will be unlikely to don the gown again for any occasion; and you could actually buy a cot, a sofa or a pair of diamond earrings with the money you would receive on the sale of your wedding dress.

A Bride To Be has been established for two decades and enjoys an enviable reputation in the industry for its continued success, vast experience and knowledge of up-to-the-minute fashions and very friendly service.  It continues to serve an ever increasing number of brides through referrals, media advertising, feature articles and direct links to Australia’s leading wedding web sites.
