Wedding dress: buy or rent?

Preparing for a wedding is a time of pleasant, but almost endless worries and troubles. The bride's dress is given a special place among them.

Choosing the right style and model, finding your one among the variety offered by salons is not an easy task. And all this - accompanied by advice from girlfriends, memories of mothers and grandmothers about what their own dress was like... And some even kept or still keep it!

In addition to choosing a model, the bride and her family will have to decide an equally important question: buy a new dress or rent a suitable product. But at the same time, know that it has already been to the registry office, and maybe more than once.

Let's look at the pros and cons of each solution.

Buying a dress: pros and cons

A wedding dress is the dream of every girl. Purchasing a product is important, perhaps first of all, with psychological point of view.

Pros

The feeling that you are its only owner, and it belongs only to you, becomes very important for many girls.

“Wearing a dress behind someone else is a no-brainer!” The psychological threshold of such a decision turns out to be insurmountable. Moreover, the quality of the new outfit is clearly higher than that of rented clothes.

If you happen to be one of these psychologically dependent people, you will have to buy an outfit. This is the only way you can fully experience all the joy and solemnity of the moment.

Cons

The price makes you refuse to buy. Pay big (and often very big!) money for clothes that will only be used once in a lifetime are luxury!

Whether or not to allow it is up to everyone to decide for themselves.

Adviсe

• To prolong the pleasure of pleasant memories, after the wedding, some young ladies make the outfit an element of room decor. The dress is not hidden in the wardrobe, but put on a mannequin and make a bright detail of the bedroom.
• Use the fabric of the product for alterations: envelope, christening dress for a baby, outfit for a daughter’s party, etc.
  • To reduce the cost of a dress, simply sell it after the wedding.

Rent - why not?

Renting a wedding dress is becoming increasingly common.

Pros

• Significant savings. The expenses for the celebration will already be considerable, why not save money if there is such an opportunity?

ADVICE! Check with the salon for additional savings on free accessories for your chosen outfit.

• Choices. Sometimes it is not possible to find the right dress on sale, for example, for those with non-standard figures. Ordering the product will require additional time. And there can be no confidence that the order will be completed on time. So why not rent the right dress? Moreover, the owners of rental stores are “hunting” for non-standard models and sizes.
• No storage problem. “What should we do with him next?” Such a question will not worry yesterday’s bride, who rented an outfit for her wedding. A voluminous and sometimes bulky product and its storage will not be her problem.

Cons

• Outfit quality. A rare product has no losses at the end of the celebration. Torn lace torn rhinestones, champagne stains, traces of makeup... It’s not always possible to get rid of the reminder that you are walking down the aisle in a dress that another bride has already worn.
• Additional costs for getting the item in order before returning it him after the celebration.
• Feeling worried about the condition of your clothes does not allow the bride or her loved ones to experience the joy of the event to the fullest.
• Penalties. If the salon determines that the returned clothing is not in the condition in which it was received, you will have to pay for it. It turns out that it was not possible to save money!

As you can see, there are pros and cons for every decision. In each specific case it is taken individually.

The main thing is that the outfit pleases the bride and is her decoration!

And yet, would you walk down the aisle in a rental dress? Or did you prefer only new things? Even if this is not your first time becoming a bride?
