Wedding dresses on sale from £300 as Glasgow charity shop has 50 boutique gowns donated

Have you been one of the unfortunate brides in Glasgow that has had to postpone - or worse, cancel - their big day until things calm down?

Well, here's a wee bit of lace-lined good news - you can nab a boutique wedding dress for the fraction of the price, and help charity while you're at it.

Bijoux bridal, a wedding dress boutique in Hamilton, have just donated a range of 50 wedding dresses in loads of different sizes to Oxfam's Newton Mearns boutique.

And far from being pre-loved, they are brand new.

The ex-showroom dresses, by designers including Phil Collins and Victoria Jane, are all priced at £300 and in sizes ranging from 8 to 18.

The Oxfam Boutique shop team is treating brides to the full bridal shop experience, with appointments being held after hours to enable brides and their friends to have exclusive use of the store.

Janice Despard, Oxfam Newton Mearns Boutique Shop Manager, said: “It’s been a really difficult time for people planning weddings during the pandemic, but Bijoux bridal’s huge generosity has enabled us to offer a chink of light for people looking for a cut price designer gown.

“Of course, the best thing about buying your wedding dress from Oxfam is that the money raised can help stop the spread of Coronavirus in some of the poorest countries in the world through providing people with simple things like access to soap and clean water – just another reason to feel amazing in your dress on your big day!”

You can make an appointment to view them by calling the store on 0141 616 2525.
