What Is a Bridal Sample Sale? Everything You Need to Know

If you’ve been dreaming of finding your perfect wedding dress and staying within budget, you won’t want to miss our Sample Sale at Diana’s Bridal—happening Friday, November 1st and Saturday, November 2nd!

This special event is your chance to say “yes” to your dream gown for less, with sample dresses starting at just $699.

💍 What Is a Sample Sale?

A sample sale is when bridal boutiques sell their showroom gowns—known as “samples”—at a significant discount to make room for new collections. These dresses have been gently tried on during appointments but are still in beautiful condition.

It’s the perfect opportunity to find a designer gown at an incredible price, take it home the same day, and skip the typical wait time for special orders.

👗 Sizes & Selection

Our sample sale gowns range from bridal size 12 to 24, with most fitting a street size 10–12. Bridal sizing runs smaller than everyday clothing, so don’t get caught up in the number—focus on the fit and how it makes you feel!

Each dress is one of a kind, meaning once it’s sold, it’s gone—we do not hold dresses. If you fall in love with one, be ready to make it yours!

💸 Why Brides Love Sample Sales

  • Unbeatable prices – Designer gowns starting at $699

  • Take it home today – Perfect for brides with shorter timelines

  • Sustainable & smart – Give a beautiful gown a second love story

Whether you’re a budget-savvy bride, planning a short engagement, or simply love the thrill of a great find, a sample sale is a wonderful way to discover “the one.”

⏰ What to Expect

Appointments during our Sample Sale are 1 hour long. This gives you plenty of time to browse, try on, and fall in love with a gown—while still keeping things moving so every bride has a chance to shop.

To help make the most of your time:

  1. Bring one or two trusted guests who know your style and can help you decide.

  2. Come ready to purchase—these gowns move fast!

  3. Plan for alterations—our expert seamstresses can tailor your gown perfectly to you.
