Free Fabric Swatches with Free Shipping
If you’re planning your dream wedding and want everything to be perfect, choosing the right fabric is essential.
When I got married, everything had to be perfect. Why? I honestly can’t tell you. But, it was something I had dreamed of since I was a little girl.
It was the 1990s and fashion was a lot different than it is now. For example, I chose a gorgeous mermaid-style dress, partly because I loved how it looked and partly because it was called a mermaid. True story, I had our attendants walk down the aisle to “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid® soundtrack.
A mermaid dress is a variation of a trumpet-style dress. Basically, it’s fitted on top and flares out around the knees. It was beautiful! My girls wore black, and I wore a white version of the dress that my dear friend had tailored to be more bridal.
By the way, The Little Mermaid® is a copyright of the Walt Disney Company.

How to Avoid Shipping Charges
When you see a free fabric swatches offer (which my Facebook feed seems to be full of now!!), check to see if it says free with free shipping. Sometimes they don’t say. I hate that! But when they don’t, often people will have left comments saying shipping is not free so you can save your time and decide whether you want to continue.
My favorite (that’s sarcasm) is when someone comments that shipping is not free, and then someone else chastises them for being greedy. “They’re giving the samples, stop being cheap and pay the shipping!” In my opinion, if the company would simply say that there’s a shipping charge up front it would save me the time of clicking through to find out. Worse yet is when you have to give them your information such as name and email address – or even shipping address – only to find out they want $10 to ship a free swatch. I would have saved the 5 minutes if I had known that up front.
Anyway, I found a few great companies that offer free swatches with free shipping. One in particular that I’ve already received swatches from is Kennedy Blue. They have a ton of gorgeous colors and patterns. The issue I have is that you can’t feel the fabric through the screen! That’s why free swatches are so nice. And, let me tell you after receiving them myself – they are really nice. Another is Birdy Grey who has some of the most beautiful patterns I’ve seen.
To get in on the free swatch samples, just select your favorite fabrics and colors, and you can order up to 5 free swatches using the promo code 5FREE. Then, finish checking out with the free swatch samples and they’ll send them to you within a few weeks. When they arrive you can pick your favorites and order your dresses! After that, you can use the samples in crafting, quilting, or other fun activities. Actually, you could use the matching and complimenting colored swatches to make crafts for your wedding or special event. Imagine crafts that match the bridal party exactly!? I listed some craft ideas above to spark your creativity.
