Our Budget wedding dress store-y

Back in October 2023, our owner Beth had been waiting for her wedding dress to come in for over a year and had been emailing but no responses. She opened her Facebook to see multiple articles as well as brides posts showing how the store had shut down and no one would receive their gowns. This broke so many brides hearts and Beth vowed to change this to ensure no bride had to go through this again!

She opened her Bridal store in Cwmbran, her home town and set out to make a budget friendly option for brides to be able to find their dream dress for up to 75% off the RRP! None of the dresses we sell are over £899 and all are brand new!

Since then we have grown to offer wedding jewellery, wedding hair accessories, wedding and event décor, wedding stationary and wedding signage, wedding singing and so much more.

We are not just a business, but a family all working to ensure we can help save couples hundreds if not thousands on their big day. 

At Once Upon A Budget, we pride ourselves on providing exquisite bridal wear at unbeatable prices. Located in Cwmbran, South Wales, our mission is to make every bride's dream come true without breaking the bank. 

PLEASE NOTE: ALL OUR GOWNS ARE SOLD AS SEEN AND NON REFUNDABLE BUT EXCHANGES ARE WELCOME.
