It is really a personal choice to rent or buy the wedding dress. It depends on the person and how much money they have. You can want a dress and just not afford it. Renting is a good option. According to Jennifer Young of Jennifer Young Couture, “Renting a wedding dress is easy and often money saving; if you have a small budget, renting your dress could save you money which could be better spent on your honeymoon. But be aware that with a rental dress you will be unable to make alterations.”

Remember, there is a method to this madness, “Find a wedding dress rental shop; often wedding dress shops where you can buy your dress have a few to rent as well. Alternatively, get recommendations from friends.

Remember to start your shopping early as wedding dress rental shops will have fewer dresses to choose from – especially In the popular summer months.” Of course, you can buy a dress instead of renting it, “Buying a dress as a comparison to renting is more expensive. If money is secondary to your need to have a beautiful once-in-a-lifetime dress that you can keep and treasure then buying the dress is the way to go. It could also become a family heirloom.” There is also the option of designing your own dress. It does not have to be expensive and does not have to be lavish, “If you want a wedding dress that is more unique – why not have someone make a dress according to your own design. It's the perfect way to get exactly what you want. If you're on a tight budget, you could also consider sending your own dress design to an online shop to have it made up.

Although, if buying online, you will have to be careful to order far in advance and also be prepared to make minor adjustments.” When you opt to buy a dress rather than rent one you have more options available to you. While there are places that will “Make to Rent” a dress for you, this is far more expensive than renting something off the rack. When you choose to buy your dress, you can either design it to your exact specifications from scratch and have it made for you, shop for your dream dress locally, or even shop online both nationally and internationally. 

This seems like an obvious pro but there is something special about being able to haul out your wedding dress every now and then so you can reminisce about your special day. If you choose a classic design instead of a trendy design you might even find that your daughter would like to wear it on her own wedding day. Taking photographs on your wedding day is a lot of fun, but there is always a bit of a time constraint because you need to get back to your guests. Today modern brides all over the world are opting for a second after-the-wedding photo shoot known as a “Trash the Dress” shoot. Basically you get to dress up in your wedding things and go and have fun.

Go horse riding, so swimming in your wedding clothes, hop on a carousel – the options are endless. The point is that you get to wear your dress again and you get to have fun and you get some more fantastic photographs out of it.
