Brides try dress fitting fee on for size

FLOWERS, hotel, car and cake — nobody said getting married was cheap.

But now brides-to-be searching for that perfect gown for their special day are being asked to pay a fee to try their dream dress on.

A number of bridal shops have begun introducing a consultation fee, ranging from €10-€25, which they say is to help combat the issue of customers failing to turn up for appointments and using up time for genuine buyers.
