Why some Brides are Selling their Wedding Dresses before Marriage
Saving your wedding gown is something of the past. Brides are no longer keeping the dress as a keepsake or cherished heirloom in hopes that it might get passed down to a daughter or a family member. Recouping some of the money spent on the dress is now a big factor as to why some brides are selling their wedding dresses before they even say “I do!” This way the bride is able to have the dress of her dreams and not go over her budget.
The recession has played a big part in this new idea. Cash strapped Americans need the money for other things. Obviously, the prices for wedding dresses are sometimes way out of the budget. Knowing that you have sold your dress and you are recovering half the money before the wedding gives you a great feeling that you did not over-spend and you can justify spending $6,000.00 on a dress when you originally only wanted to spend $3,000.00.
Pre sales of the dress also frees up money for the wedding budget that may be used for the reception, or even for extra cash on the honeymoon. These dresses are too beautiful to just sit in someone’s closet. Other brides would be thrilled to get to wear their dream dress and find it half off at a pre-owned shop.
PreOwnedWeddingDresses.comis one of the places brides shop for their dream dress with the dream price tag. They have a huge selection of over ten thousand dresses. They also help brides when they are selling their dress. Here are a couple of other consignment dress shops that brides can find their dress at.Encorebridal.comandSmartBrideBoutique.comboth are great places for both the bride to be and the bride who needs to sell her dress to justify her expenses.
Wedding dresses can go out of style long before someone in your family wears them again when you are passing them down. Hanging in a closet for twenty something years does not always keep the dress in the best of ways either.
Selling your wedding dress before you get married and fulfilling the dream of another bride by helping them to find the dress they want and knowing that it is still in style and that they can afford it can be wonderful for both of you! The bride lists the dress for sale before her wedding and times the sale to be finalized after she's worn the dress at her wedding.
It’s a win-win situation and that is why some brides are taking advantage of the pre-owned shops and selling their wedding dresses before they get married.
