'I bought my wedding dress in a charity shop for £340 - I recommend it to every bride'
manchestereveningnews.co.ukA thrifty bride-to-be found her dream wedding dress in a charity shop for £340 – and is encouraging other brides to do the same.
Daisy Welsh, 42, knew that she didn’t want to spend thousands on a dress when her fiancé, Kris, 43 proposed. After searching for cheaper options online, Daisy noticed other brides in a Facebook group discussing a nearby charity shop and their selection of wedding dresses.

Unsure what to expect, Daisy made her way to the shop – where she tried on eight gowns before saying yes to her dress. “I always knew that I didn’t really want to spend much money on a dress, because a wedding itself is a lot of money,” said Daisy.
