My colleague wanted a designer vintage wedding dress to wear on the reception party of her wedding more than anything.
Before her wedding she spent months looking for the suitable dress. She found a lot of gorgeous dresses but all of them were so expensive that she couldn't afford to buy any of them.
Designer vintage wedding gowns are simply breathtaking, but unfortunately their price is breathtaking as well. Unless you are very rich you can rarely afford such a dress. If you are lucky and you have rich parents or a rich fiancée, you might get it as a gift, but this doesn't happen every day.
However, their price speaks for their quality: these dresses are made of the finest materials, designed inch by inch and made carefully by skillful artists. They are not even dresses anymore, but pieces of art. If you take this in mind, you will see that the prices are actually not that high. After all owning a piece of art is pricy anyway, so why not buy one that you can wear?
If there is no shop in your area where you can buy designer retro wedding gowns, you should look on the internet. It's actually a good idea to look at some online catalogues with designer wedding dresses, just to see how beautiful they are.
My colleague finally found a dress in such a catalogue: it was an Oscar De La Renta gown, and it was perfect. She told me later that she didn't regret buying it because it is the most beautiful dress she ever had. Designer vintage wedding gowns are also on sale sometimes and if you are lucky enough to discover them, you can be the owner of a truly beautiful gown.
