Wholesale Wedding Dresses
GlobalGrabber.com’s wholesale wedding dresses shopping guide will research and compare the major wedding dresses wholesalers and their products, and help you make wise shopping decision.
Let’s take a look at what each wedding dress wholesaler offers.
DHgate.com: As of July 12, 2009, DHgate.com, the leading China wholesale marketplace offers a total of 18,258 wedding dress listings and 211,059 wedding apparel & accessories on site. That’s a plenty of wedding dresses for you to choose from. The only problem is, DHgate.com hasn’t offered any attributes or tags on the side to help the users filter products. Even if you have 40 wedding dresses to show up on one page, you need to click the “next page” button over 400 times before finish browsing all the items. This is definitely a MUST tool that DHgate.com should consider.
When we sort the search results by unit price from the lowest price, we get “Princess Sweet Heart Chapel Tea – Length white lace Satin wedding dress” with price range from 32.75 USD to 38.76 USD / Piece. If you click into the product detail page, you will see the final price is associated with the quantity the user is going to buy. The more you buy, the cheaper it will be. You can also choose either EMS or DHL as your delivery method. The quickest one will get the wedding dresses delivered to USA in 2-5 days. Just like eBay, there is a long description on each product detail page, created by the sellers on DHgate flatform.
When we sort all the wedding dresses by unit price from the highest price, we get “Stunning Runway Sex and the City Carrie’s Bridal wedding dress” selling for over 400 USD / piece, plus free shipping.
Overall speaking, DHgate.com has great selections of wedding dresses targeting from lower end to mid end market.
Lightinthebox.com: As of July 12, 2009, Lightinthebox.com offers only 347 wedding dress listings on site, from 59.99USD to 899.99USD. Being a B2C wholesale website, Lightinthebox is not competing with marketplaces like DHgate on selections, while it focuses more on quality.
On the wedding dress product page, Lightinthebox.com offers a Color chart, which shows the buyers the available colors arranged by dress material for this wedding dress. It also has a Custom Tailor’s page which shows the buyers step by step on how Lightinthebox is making sure the buyer will get the perfect custom made wedding dresses.

Overall speaking, Lightinthebox.com offers great product information on helping buyers shopping for wholesale wedding dresses.
GlobalSources.com: Different from DHgate.com and Lightinthebox.com, GlobalSources.com represents the 1st generation of B2B provider. GlobalSources targets different clients from the above two, the sellers and buyers on GlobalSources.com are usually much bigger. It offers verified wedding dresses manufacturers and suppliers from China, India and worldwide, however their services limit in information exhibition. You won’t see price quote next to the product picture, and instead of a “Add to Cart” button, GlobalSources only offers “Inquire Now” and “Chat” services. If you are an experienced international trader who wants to order 200+ wedding dresses at a time and doesn’t need them in the next two weeks, you can probably get some good deal from GlobalSources, otherwise start small and quick with DHgate.com or Lightinthebox.com.
Overall speaking, GlobalSources.com is more suitable for bigger and more experienced international traders.
