This dress they wear during the most beautiful day of their lives, some attach themselves to it and give it a symbolic or sentimental value. Others, on the contrary, consider it a damn shame that she ends her days buried in a closet. The dilemma is still Cornelian: either we choose to wear the expensive designer dress that makes us dream, to resolve to separate then (and with the idea that others have worn before us) or we are content with a less expensive creation that we will surely wear only once, but that we can keep with us forever.
How it works ?
If the practice is not yet widespread in France, many brides English, Japanese or American prefer to wear a designer brand on D-Day without having to sacrifice two monthly salaries. Because to acquire one, it takes at least 1000 or even 2000 euros - even more if it comes from a recent collection. Fortunately, there are a number of sites where we too can rent the dress of our dreams.
For example, on Graine-de-Coton.com, a Monique Lhuillier wedding dress is worth 569 for rent and € 1,086 for sale. Also note that on the platform MaBonneAmie.com, rent a short dress signed Chloé for a civil wedding costs only 125 euros a day. At the time of rental, the client pays a deposit not cashed, which vanishes when the return of the dress after a visit to the laundry, almost always included in the price. In case of damage to the dress, necessary alterations are billed and if it is impossible to restore it, then the deposit is obviously cashed.
Another essential point: most of these sites guarantee free appointments by appointment, absolutely essential to ensure that the dress suits us perfectly. Here are some of the most popular sites in France.
