How does this whole thing work?
OnceWed.com isn't a brick-and-mortar store, we're an online listing service (with thousands more wedding gowns than even the largest bridal salons!)
We connect buyers and sellers of new sample and used wedding dresses helping brides-to-be find their dream dress for less, and helping sellers recoup costs and pass their gowns to brides who will love them.
Sellers list their wedding dress (worn once, or not at all) for a one-time, $19.95. fee. Bridesmaid dresses, Mother's Dresses, Flower Girl Dresses and Accessory listings are only $5. Buyers and sellers then communicate and transact directly with each other through our secure messaging system.
No commission, no hidden fees and we never mark up the price of any item.
