Not for all brides a wedding dress has a deep sacred significance. Not everyone gives it a special meaning, symbolism and energy, nor do they consider it necessary to make a family heirloom from it. Modern girls are pragmatic and rational, and therefore when choosing a dress immediately think about how to deal with it after the wedding. In this regard, many brides come to give up the purchase in favor of rental.
In preparation for the wedding, much is taken for rent: wedding arch, room decor, car. It does not make sense to acquire all these things, because they will be relevant only one day. Same with the dress. Should I pay the full cost of things that will never come in handy? And this issue is particularly acute with a limited budget for organizing a holiday. It is necessary to figure out whether hire is really beneficial and does it make sense?
Why hire is not the best idea.
- The illusion of saving
In most cases, brides turn to salons for reasons of economy.And, until they begin to delve into all conditions, it really seems to them beneficial. Although sometimes hire a wedding dress is more expensive than buying it. As a rule, the cost of rental services is only 50% of the model cost. Future brides already represent how much can be done with the amount saved, but it was not there.
Half of the price tag is the cost of rent, and the second half will need to be left in the cabin as a deposit. Pledge can be withdrawn only if the dress is returned on time and in proper form. For each lead and tear, a torn button and a bead, money will be deducted from the bail amount. In addition, dry-cleaning items after hire is paid for by the bride separately. It turns out that sometimes a rented dress is more expensive than a purchased one.
- Limited choice
Counting on the fact that rental costs half the price, brides hope that they can afford a more luxurious and expensive model. This is nothing more than a delusion. It is impossible to find exclusive dresses from prestigious and sought-after brands in rental salons. Their range is formed from obsolete models from unknown manufacturers. Such dresses are suitable for thematic photography, participation in a flash mob - and for anything, but not for your own wedding, which is supposed to be unique and irresistible.
- New or updated?
Even if the dress looks good, it does not mean that it was not at the box before. They are handed over to dry cleaning, and then restored, if necessary. The damaged lace fragments are replaced with new ones, the lost beads and stones are sewn into place, the torn petticoats are altered. How many brides have seen this dress, no one will say. The salon will claim that this model is new and received quite recently.
The girl can not pick up the dress before the time specified in the contract If it is chosen a few months before the wedding, then it can still be rented out more than once, which is not at all pleasant.
- The dress is not on the figure
A significant drawback of hire is the impossibility of fitting the dress according to the height and shape of a girl. In the salons with good service wedding studios work, in which the purchased model will fit perfectly, up to a millimeter. In the case of rolled dress should remain unchanged, and this may mean inconvenient length, creases on the corset, baggy in the waist.
- Psychological discomfort
Rolling dress can not be adjusted not only on the figure, but also to their liking. Fear of spoiling not your thing prevents the bride from relaxing. Willy-nilly, you will have to watch out for each of your movements in order not to step on, not to catch on, not to break, and this is rather exhausting and annoying. The girl may be haunted by the unpleasant feeling that the guests know that her wedding dress is not her at all. This kills self-confidence, and after all on the wedding day you need to feel like a princess. Signs and superstitions about the "alien" dress, which seem so stupid a few months before the event, during the celebration begin to annoyingly climb into the head, spoiling the mood.
Reasons to buy a wedding dress
Few brides after learning the facts choose to hire. Buying is more attractive, even taking into account the fact that a wedding dress is a thing at a time.
- Universal model
As a rule, rational girls who do not see the point in anxious and careful storage of the dress are easier to apply to the wedding itself. If the format of the planned event allows, you can look at the models that can serve after the wedding. The choice in salons is very wide: it can be a shortened minimalist dress that can act as a cocktail dress or a colored model that can be worn for a solemn evening out.
Saving family budget
No, this is not a mistake! You can save money by choosing a purchase instead of a rental. True, this will have to spend time exploring the salons and their range. In the period of promotions and sales, you can buy with a tangible discount even dresses from famous brands.There are good deals on the latest size or collections of the past season - there are always a lot of options, you just have to look.
- Sales opportunity
You can advertise the sale of dresses after the wedding. If it remains intact and after dry cleaning has retained the look of a new thing, the customer will find it. This will allow a certain amount to be returned to the family budget and make room in the closet.
However, to consider the option of storing a dress is also worth it. It may not seem like a good idea right after the wedding, but in a few years, on one of the anniversary anniversaries, it will help to revive those magical feelings and remind you how beautiful, happy and in love the newlyweds were on their wedding day.
