Why you should hire your dream wedding dress, not buy
PH838253 • 31 March 2020
Thousands and thousands of marriages take place in the UK every year, which means that potentially thousands of wedding dresses are being bought from shops, online, or second-hand. This is then potentially thousands of brides investing in an expensive designer wedding dress that they’ll wear once and then, most likely, never again. If only some of these brides had considered the benefits of a hire designer wedding dress…
At Something Borrowed Bridal in Basildon, we have a wide range of designer wedding dresses for hire to bring extra sparkle to your wedding day.
Save money on your wedding day
The average amount of money spent on a new wedding dress in the UK is over £1,300, and the average overall cost of a wedding in the UK is over £30,000! These figures are staggering, but no doubt it’s all worth it for the perfect day of celebrations.
One of the most popular reasons to hire a designer wedding dress is that you don’t have to pay the designer price tag. Instead, they cost just a fraction to rent for a day or two, letting you still enjoy your magical day in a beautiful dress without taking up too much of your wedding budget. This lets you either save the money for your honeymoon or trim down the budget, or you could spend it elsewhere for the reception.
Save space in your home
We’ve all cleaned out our wardrobes and drawers of things that we’ve never worn, whether that’s something we really want to wear but haven’t had a chance to yet or something bought impulsively. Your wedding dress sees one day of beautiful celebration and must then be boxed away into storage, whilst you live on the rest of your days in perpetual celebration with your newly wedded partner.
It’s such a shame to stow away a beautiful piece of your personal history. Not only is it a shame, but it’s also a frustration! Wedding dresses, with their puffs and trains and occasionally full skirts, are a little difficult to neatly fold-up and put away. Often, they need to be bundled into boxes or creased into corners. Designer wedding dress hire lets you enjoy a wedding dress without having to worry about where it’s being stashed at home, avoiding taking up storage space and the sad feeling of crumpling it away.
Enjoy a special dress you otherwise may not be able to
Buying a designer wedding dress out-right, at full price, is a big investment for many couples. Designer wedding dresses can near the price range of £2,000, and this can represent a hefty chunk of budget!
When you borrow a designer wedding dress, you’re not forfeiting feeling luxurious and elegant on your wedding day. You can enjoy a dress that many brides would otherwise not be able to, saving money without spending it on a price tag. Almost having your wedding cake at eating it, too!
