In our article, shopping for the wedding gown, we share some tips to guide as you go looking for the gown of your dreams. It is a dreamy affair no doubt, and this is probably a day that every bride looks forward to; arguably the one day in your life that you are certain all eyes are on you and as you glide down the aisle, you want to be looking your absolute best. So where do you go shopping?
With the growth and advancement of e-commerce, online shopping has become the way of life for a greater percentage of the population, but you know there are still those who live by the mantra, ‘Seeing is believing’, and they just have to visit that physical shop for whatever commodity. When it comes to the wedding gown, a physical shop is probably a great place to join this school of thought. The greatest advantage is that you get to see, feel and even fit the dress!
With just a photo picked online, 100% certainty is unattainable; to assume that the gown is exactly as it appears on your screen may be an open door to great disappointment. However, there are some online stores that give leeway for changes, which will only be possible if you do your shopping way in advance.
So exactly where can you go shopping for that wedding gown? We shall list some stores in Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru, Kisumu as the more central places to buy a wedding gown. But before we delve into the Where, let us take a look at the How. Here are the different ways a bride can a get a gown:
Many brides choose to purchase their wedding gowns; albeit it is because there is a lot more freedom to getting what one’s heart desires. A bride can choose to purchase locally while others can choose to import from oversees. The purchase can therefore be actualized by shipping one from abroad, buying one locally, or even custom making from your preferred tailor.
When Princess Beatrice of England was getting married, her gown was largely talked about. Reason? It was her grandmother’s gown, The late Queen Elizabeth. It was only given a little modification to suit her, but the point is that it as her grandmother’s gown. This is therefore another way that a bride can get their wedding gown. It is easy to dismiss such an offer or gift but the sentimental meaning to such gifts may need you to not turn down the offer. Just like princess Batrice, you can choose make modifications to suit your taste or fit. Some of these gowns have been passed from one generation to another, from a mother to a daughter, or even form a sister to sister.
The third way a bride can get their wedding gown is through hiring. There are numerous stores that have this as an option for the soon-to-be brides. Sometimes if the gown is the very one you have desired and absolutely love, yet the cost of buying is way above your budget, then hiring can be an option to consider. There are definitely risks involved particularly in the case of damages, but it is a safe option for getting that gown that has captured your heart.
