Wedding Gown - is it worth it?

[banini]

If its grand and expensive - sayang ang pera for something you will only wear once, and your guests most likely wouldn't remember.

If its simple and relatively inexpensive - you may get comments that could haunt you everytime you're reminded of weddings, even your own! :mecry:

Either way, there would be a "price" to pay.

Mine was simple and I thought it was simple in an elegant way. Until a relative was overheard saying in separate incidents "ano ba yan, ang simple naman ng gown!". Ok lang to say its simple, coz it was, but the "ano ba yan" made it seem like its "ugly" for a dress to be simple. Can't help but feel somehow bad about the dress... and the relative!

you can have a simple yet very elegant gown na hindi naman expensive eh....kailangan lang na marunong ka maghanap ng magaling na gagawa...mura lang without sacrificing the quality

well i guess we shouldnt expect naman that a 5k gown would turn out to be as fantabulous as a 60k gown... price really has a say in one way or another. pero sabi nga ng madami, nasa nagdadala din yan. i've seen designer gowns that didnt look that wonderful as the brides who wore these dresses didnt know how to carry themselves..walang grace..elegance. as for those people who has nothing but nega comments, well i guess we just have to deal with that. we cant please everybody naman di ba.sa bawat kasal, may masasabi at msasabi *** mga guests...in addition, depende rin yan sa pinanggalingan ng comment. kung fashion victim ang naglitanya ng "ano ba yan" comment, maybe, we could just tell ourselves na "naiingit" lang yon..(some sort of defense mechanism na rin...LOL). and besides after 25-50 years, our guests wont remember naman every single detail of our wedding. kaya kebs na yun.

For me although once mo lang isusuot ang wedding gown but still your pictures will last long....meron dati article from weddings @ work about the challenge for upcoming and stablished wedding designers on how they could come up with an elegant gown for just 20K and pwede pala. Ang gown kc d tulad ng make up na one day lang wala na although importante yun to look good d ba?.... ang wedding gown pede mo itago then even after 20 years andyan pa then it's something ba na pede ipamana sa anak or apo? But for me spending a little bit more on your wedding gown is acceptable anyway you're the bride and weddings daw are for the brides. I think *** tama lang not too cheap but not too expensive....

My friend rented her wedding gown, it is elegant but she paid only a fraction of the price. I think it was smart of her to do what she did. She said she could not live with the fact that she paid an arm and a leg for something that she'll wear only once.

Come to think of it, it will boil down to whether bagay ba sa'yo on hindi, kung "carry mo ba".

I guess fairy tales (and celebrity weddings) have somehow conditioned girls at a young age into looking forward to a princess-bride look on her wedding. Pero pag ikaw na ang ikakasal, a lot of factors aside from the budget come into the equation like theme, venue, bride's body type, ano uso and of course the bride's personality.

Kung di ka naman mapamahiin, i suggest you try-on your gown (mahal man o mura) before your wedding para you'll be confident about your look. Make sure na alam ng mananahi that you want the gown ready way before the wedding day para if you don't feel good about how it fits you may time ka pa to make changes.

i know someone who bought a vera wang gown, then after her wedding she auction it on e-bay. i think that was a pretty smart move :)

If you want a very nice and very reasonable wedding gown, you may contact fashion designer Mila de Leon. :) IMHO, she's a lot better than most high profile fashion designers in The Philippines. :D

Ako mura lang gown ko pero nung na-dryclean at nakahanger after wedding, naisip ko agad, "Ano na gagawin ko dyan? I want my 12K back" :D True enough, it served its purpose on the wedding day and the pictures will remain forever. I got what I paid for. I love my gown. But it's kept in the box. And it feels like 12K will always be in a box. Sana nga pwede gamitin ng next generation but what are the odds di ba? Or sana pwede ibenta/ipa-rent para magamit sa iba yung money lalo na't newlywed pa kasi.

Maybe it's just me. Im one of the few brides who were not too attached to the gown after the wedding.

2 things people are most likely to remember about your wedding day:

-food
-bride

so, for me, I'll pay for the best I can afford. I'm a self-confessed fashionista, so yeah...I want the best material and construction.

I will not spend a lot on bridal gown since i will only wear it once, so better look for a good fabric that will flatter your body.

[sLyyy]

agree with that sis...:)

[jombler2020]

I will spend a Wedding gown with the right price. Even you use it just for once, this occasion is special. Its Your wedding so you must give value for that. What I will do after (to the gown), I will keep it and pass it to my daughter... di ba sulit hehe.. At syempre kung bibili rin lang ng gown, *** maganda na.:bashful:

I agree with you...better rent a wedding gown or a barong than buying...I think this is the most practical thing to do. My friend rented her wedding gown at The Closet (http://ph.88db.com/ph/Services/Post_Detail.page/Wedding/Bride_Groom_Apparels/?PostID=358631). The most important thing is the dedication of the couple to marry each other. That I believe is the most important thing on a marriage.


mmm... Buy your gown if you know you are getting married again...joke.peace and cheers!

[mcbl]

pwede naman ronleal for renewal of vows gamitin uli ang gown basta walang nabago sa figure heheheh!

saan locate ang THE CLOSET?

[g-gurl]

i will just rent / borrow my friend's wedding gown for my wedding on dec. 2010. the gown cost her P40K. she offered to lend it to me. I've given this a lot of thought already. I will use it mga 4 hours the most.

The money that i'll spend on the gown will be added in our european honeymoon.
