The Wrong Way to Buy a Wedding Dress
Did you know there's a good way and a bad way to buy a wedding dress? The bad way? Never, never buy a dress you have to order with money up front. The wedding dress business is a tough one to succeed in. And many stores go out of business fast.
If you order a dress, put money down or pay in full, and the shop goes under, you’re outta luck. You lose your money and you don’t have a dress. The only protection you have in these cases is if you use a credit card with buyer protection. But they can’t help you with the dress.
Instead of ordering a dress with money up front, many brides are now turning to stores where they can buy the dress off the rack. David’s Bridal is one of the more popular stores to offer off-the-rack dresses. Its popularity means similar stores are popping up everywhere. So shop around for the best value.
And some brides are even renting their dresses (though that’s a taboo subject for many brides). Rentals usually cost a couple hundred dollars. So it’s a great way to save some money if you can part with the dress after the wedding. And for many it’s a better alternative than not having a wedding dress at all.
