It’s reckoned that the average wedding in the UK costs around thirty thousand pounds. Few young brides and grooms have that sort of money and so it’s to the bank of Mum and Dad that they turn.
For the majority, it’s a one-off occasion and requires plenty of planning as it’s not something that anyone has a lot of experience with.
This is the reason many professional wedding planners have come into existence. Experience will hopefully mean that nothing is forgotten. It’s not uncommon for the bride to spend a couple of thousand pounds on the dress alone.
And then there’s some footwear, like white embroidered Ruby shoes. This is a brand that’s increasingly popular and Ruby shoo wedding shoes are frequently the ones of choice.
For a dress that costs two thousand pounds it’s confusing to figure out another occasion where it can be worn.
Grooms usually rent their suit for the day, but brides feel suspicious of a dress that’s been worn by someone else before.
There are plenty of online sites that help sell a worn wedding dress. Typically, one can expect between fifty and sixty percent of the original price. An advert was recently posted from a clearly disappointed bride with the message that unlike her ex, the dress was in perfect condition.
He, on the other hand, had disgraced himself with some act at the reception involving a bridesmaid and an otherwise empty broom cupboard.
Shoes were also included in that particular offer. The only other option other than selling or leaving it hanging in the wardrobe for decades, is to buy a designer dress that can be easily adjusted.
This usually means cutting away the long train and reducing the hemline to the knee. Wedding shoes are not so difficult to re-use. Some die to give them a new colour other than white is all it takes.
