The internet has millions of wedding dress ideas whether vintage, short or ball gown, and trying to find the style that suits you can be a pretty overwhelming, to say the least. Another decision you may want to make when looking for a wedding dress in Cape Town, is whether you’d like to buy or hire the dress.
Here are a few pros and cons to each option that may help you with your decision:
Buying a designer wedding dress in Cape Town
Pros
The sky’s the limit in terms of what you dream of wearing on your wedding day. You can have the dress of your dreams working with a team such as those at Ever After Bridal Wear in Cape Town

You get to keep your dream wedding dress forever, tucked safely away for a day when you may want to renew your vows, or simply out of sentimentality.
Cons
Wedding dresses are expensive, which is understandable when considering all that goes into making it, and, since it’s a dress you’ll only wear once, you may find yourself out of your depth financially in an economy that is below zero, for everyone!
Storing your wedding dress safely may end up taking up more space than you have to spare in a time when most are downsizing on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Hiring a designer wedding dress in Cape Town
Pros
As a growing trend, hiring a wedding dress allows almost every bride the opportunity to walk down the aisle in a designer wedding dress, making it a far more affordable option.
You won’t need to go through quite a rigmarole to store the dress safely, and you also won’t need storage space for it either.
The memory of your wedding dress will always be with you in any event, evident in beautiful photos and videos that’ll live on through many generations.
Cons
Plus sizes and petite sizes will make it a little more difficult to find the perfect dress, especially if alterations are going to be major.
In most instances however, the team at Ever After Bridal will contact the designer to order a dress in a unique size or colour, depending on the dress you’ve fallen in love with!
You might be a tad more nervous about any damage to the dress as this could be a cost not budgeted for.
Be sure to book a professional cleaner to get the dress spic and span before it’s returned.
