Has anyone used dress rental/photo packages

[kitkat]

Hi,

I'm wondering if dress rental/photo packages are a good deal because I've looked at some gowns and I can't afford more than $800. I found a dress I liked for $800, but is it a better deal to lump a dress rental with the photo package?

I'm not sure how much photos should cost. But it's kind of silly to pay $800 for a dress I'll wear only for a day, but if rentals costs the same I might as well buy.

thank you for reading my post.

Some of my friends bought the dress/photo packages. Most of their experiences were pretty bad. There were problems with the cleanliness of the gown/dress, the quality of the photos and albums. Most of the photos I have seen coming with the packages were extremely old-fashioned.

Hi,

I rented a dress from bello wedding on main st and 16th for my engagement party. It was 1/2 the price of the sale price, but quality was not that great and it was a bit dirty. Also, they don't allow you to wear the dress on a grassy place because the grass will stain it. If they see the stain, they will charge you for the price of the dress. Try finding dresses on sale. I know that Sposa in new westminster sometimes have sale. Last time I checked their last sale was in june/july. But they might have another one coming soon since the new collection is about to be released
