Annual Sample Sale Event 2023

Our highly anticipated Sample Sale is being held at Archela Bridal on Friday, 31st March and Saturday, 1st April, 2023. 

Are you seeking luxury for less? Our sample sale includes an expansive collection of budget-friendly dresses. We will have over 50 gowns available for immediate purchase at the most incredible prices.  All current sale stock will be further reduced and new collection gowns will be added to our sample sale gowns especially for this incredible 2 day event.

Gowns will be selected from past and new collections and will feature gowns from all of our Designers, including Jessica Coutures, Wendy Makin, Maggie Sottero and Cosmobella.

If there is a gown you have your eye on or are looking for a gown without the worry of a lengthy delivery time - our Sample Sale is the place to secure your Dream Gown.

Come and see what gowns have been selected to be part of this much awaited event.

Although our experienced and expert stylists will be taking each appointment as a one-on-one service to help you find your dream gown, this is a unique and fast paced styling appointment.  Should you wish to experience a more slow paced boutique wedding gown shopping appointment, or one with access to our entire collection, we would strongly encourage you to book an appointment not on our sale days.

Due to the fast paced nature of these appointments, we would strongly encourage you to limit your guests you bring with you to 2 people.

All sample Gown sizes vary from almost new to ex-display dresses which need a little TLC.  Alterations will be more often than not be required for a perfect fit and Dion for Brides does offer alterations as an additional, optional service (not included in the gown sale price).

There are strictly no holds, returns, refunds or exchanges on sample sale dresses as they are sold on the day as Final Sale only and have been discounted accordingly to any wear and tear from being a sample sale gown.
