LOS ANGELES (AP) — Budget brides can now look like a million dollars in couture-inspired wedding gown thanks to a first-ever union between celebrity designer Kirstie Kelly and Costco.

The Kirstie Kelly Signature collection begins the first of several four-day trunk shows this week at select Los Angeles and San Bernardino Costco locations with wedding dresses starting at 40% off retail. With a limited number of dresses available, brides-to-be are encouraged to schedule their appointments now to find their designer dress at an exceptional price.

Introducing six new styles with classic silhouettes and gorgeous fabrics, the Kirstie Kelly Signature collection is trend-right, perfect for any wedding setting. Finished with soft embellishments including Alencon lace, crystal and pearl beading as well as handmade flowers and petals, the beautifully designed gowns -- available in organza, satin, diuponi or taffeta -- perfectly complement a range of skin tones. The gowns feature quality construction detailing which allows each dress to drape perfectly on any body type. Cathedral and fingertip length veils are also available to complete the perfect look.

Complete with a private salon that includes a fitting room, lounge and expert bridal consultant, the collection features a breadth of sizes from 2 to 24 so that women can see immediately what they will look like on their big day.
