I am really surprised why some people spend a fortune on a wedding gown that would be used only for a few hours. Wouldn't it be more practical to just rent the gown from the designer so that you don't have to keep it in storage for a long, long time? It would also save some money.

I used my mother's wedding gown when I was married in church.

I bought a dress but it was from the previous season, so it was marked down quite a bit. When you add in alterations, it all gets quite expensive!

Perfect bridal dress needs lots of search. It is a very fun, exciting and sweet expedition. Bridal fashion of dresses encompasses wide array of bridal dresses and gowns. Whatever dreams you have seen regarding your wedding dress become palpable with such a great variety of dresses.

Wah! Milliemegan, you really did a good job by uploading the web of nice bridal party wear, i was searching for all these for the two months as we have so many marriages, but we couldn't do all like this but created our own designs, now after seeing your post i'm feeling very bad, next time i'll surely go for these items, they look very nice.

I think to rent a bridal gown is fine. As for me, I would still choose to have my own gown. It doesn't matter if I could only use for a short period of time. Besides, my daughter could still use it if she likes. What do you think?

It is good also to wear your mother's weding gown especially when their married life turned great. Others say same fortune will happen to you. Anyway, it is just a supersticious belief but there's nothing wrong when you believe.

Well for some reasons women buy the wedding gown for their future daughters just like what your mom did. Even if you could only use it for a few moment, the memories from that gown is not just something not worth it to be kept.

i just get my gown tailored for my fit. i want my day very special everything i use in my wedding day. it is also a good memory to look at when i get older.

likewise here..when i got married i borrowed the wedding dress of my sister.. no cost at all..its just that i really not that kind of sentimental on some events such as weddings to be exact..i am very practical too like you.. and we share same sentiments regarding this one..

Does the price matter? I bought my own wedding dress but I didn't spend a fortune. My mother had lost her gown so I have to buy one. I know that to rent would be more affordable but it would be nice if you own the gown that your wore during the ceremony. I may use if for less a day but seeing it everyday would remind me of the happy thoughts of my wedding.
