When my partner and I were looking at getting married we had been together for 10 years and with two young children, we were looking for the ‘no fuss’, cost-effective options. Of course, I wanted to wear the stunning designer gown but didn’t want to pay the price tag that went with one of these dresses. So, I started my search to buy or hire a pre-loved wedding dress. I was actually stunned by the lack of options available for brides-to-be to hire or buy a pre-loved wedding dress and soon realised that this service was something that Australian brides needed.

So Only Dream Dresses was created. Australia’s first and only online marketplace for people to list their wedding dresses for sale or rent. I am committed to spreading the word to all brides-to-be that this service is now available to them and giving Dress Owners the opportunity to pull their dress out of that cupboard and give it another life. (Admit it, if your wedding day has already passed, the idea of boxing that exquisite dress up to hide in a cupboard for years is a bit heartbreaking. Why not give her the chance to shine again? It’s what she was created for after all!)

Take a wander through our gallery, check out our blog featuring on Blush and see what is possible with Only Dream Dresses. Our dresses are like our brides: gorgeous, personal, unique, sophisticated, and smart.
