A bride-to-be, currently planning her 2027 wedding, has expressed her surprise after receiving a wedding dress she purchased for a bargain price on Vinted. Weddings can be expensive celebrations, with expenses ranging from the licence to venue booking and all the other elements that makeup the celebration, such as outfits and food for all the guests quickly adding up. So, when a bargain presents itself, especially for items that typically cost other couples that are planning their own weddings hundreds or even thousands of pounds, it's hard not to seize the opportunity and save some cash . Hayleigh, who got engaged to her partner in August this year, is now in full swing planning their 2027 nuptials. She's been sharing her journey with her over 75,000 followers on TikTok, allowing them to join her as she strives to plan her perfect wedding day. In a recent post, Hayleigh revealed she snapped up a second-hand wedding dress on Vinted for a mere £14, inviting her followers to join her as she unboxed the dress for the first time. "I ordered a wedding dress off Vinted for £14. Should we take a look?" she said before beginning to open the large parcel. As she unveiled the dress, she explained she wanted to explore what options were available for those considering second-hand shopping. She was left astounded as she laid eyes on her budget purchase. Beginning with the upper section of the gown, her jaw dropped when she revealed the bridal garment's bodice. It appeared to be a corset-style top featuring thick shoulder straps alongside a square neckline, showcasing embroidered embellishments. "Oh my God," Hayleigh exclaimed as she set the bodice aside before unveiling the skirt, which featured comparable detailing along the hem that mirrored those on the corset. In a subsequent video shared the following day, Hayleigh proceeded to model the gown after viewers of her initial clip had urged her to try it on, with them being equally amazed by the dress as Hayleigh was. As it turned out, the gown fitted her perfectly .She demonstrated herself wearing the skirt and bodice before fastening the corset on her own. The footage then transitioned to Hayleigh displaying the complete ensemble as she conveyed her delight. "15 quid? Are you actually joking me? Vivienne Westwood, who? This was £14, I think, 15 odd quid with delivery, what the hell?" she remarked as she spun around in her gown. Hayleigh then proceeded to highlight the 'stunning' embellishments in the bodice of the dress, which was created by a brand called ESSENCE, as she disclosed in the comment section of the clip. "I feel incredible," she declared. "I feel like a princess." Hayleigh wasn't alone in being captivated by the gown, as the comment section quickly brimmed with praise from viewers. "What a bargain and it looks so beautiful on you," one person said, while another viewer wrote: "IM SORRY!!! THATS YOUR DRESS!!" "You hit the lottery with this buy. Gorgeous on you and I cannot wait to see it when it is altered just for you," someone else said.
