This shouldn’t come as a surprise, but wedding dresses aren’t cheap. Generally costing at least four figures (sometimes more), the price of a gown sounds even more expensive when you consider that you’ll probably only wear it once in your life (unless you choose a bridal look you can wear beyond the big day).
Further notes that many brides spend anywhere between $2,000 to $5,000 on their wedding dresses alone, which isn’t a modest amount of money if you’re on a tight budget. “When only wearing that dress for approximately three to five hours, it just doesn’t seem worth it when you can focus on making your wedding dreams come true, by having that firework sendoff or an extravagant Parisian-themed dessert table for your guests to indulge in,” she explains.
With that in mind, you may be asking yourself, “Should I just rent my wedding dress?” If you’d rather spend more on your honeymoon budget than a pricey gown, renting is certainly a popular alternative that allows you to save money while still wearing a gorgeous look down the aisle.
Renting your gown also allows you to embrace a more sustainable shopping experience, and provides you with the option to select multiple looks for less (if you’re hoping to embrace two or three outfit changes on the big day). Ultimately, though, this decision is a personal choice, and it’s up to you and your partner to prioritize how you want to allocate your wedding budget.
