The cost of a wedding is out of control. With tighter budgets, more brides and grooms paying the brunt of the cost, and with exorbitant travel expenses, every detail of a wedding needs to be scrutinized. When planning a wedding, no expense should be spared when you’re dealing with the parts of the wedding that will last forever, those parts that will preserve the memory of the day.
One of the cost-cutting measures that should be considered is the cost of the wedding dress. One of the most popular trends is renting a dress instead of buying one. The cost of buying a wedding dress can easily be measured in the thousands of dollars. The cost of renting a wedding dress is usually measured in the hundreds of dollars.
The wedding dress, although an intricate part of the wedding day, is not a practical purchase. Hundreds of rolls of pictures of the wedding is money better spent. Consider renting the wedding dress; after all, the groom rents his tuxedo. Concentrate on the memorable day, not the bills that are to follow. Enjoy yourself and return the dress to the rental company. You and your checkbook will be glad you did.
