Fashion: Paying less for the wedding dress?

We find out how brides across the world are cutting back

In the UK, brides spend an average of Β£1,400 on a dress for the big day.

But inflation and the rising cost of living means that's starting to change. We look at the trend of spending less on wedding dresses - buying them ready-to-wear from a boutique in London, or even from a supermarket.

And we're in India where some brides are starting to spend less - not always easy when spending lavishly on weddings is often the expectation.

Produced and presented by Deborah Weitzmann with additional presenting from Devina Gupta.
