Is buying a Vera Wang Wedding Dress worth it?

vera wang wedding
Pieridae asked:


I have found the perfect wedding dress.
The small problem is… it’s a $5,100 dress!
That might not be to much for some but it’s just a little expensive for my budget…yet…not completely out of reach.
I spoke to my fiancĂ© about it and he as no real issues with it if we can make payments (which we can)…but my sensible budgeting side is fighting with my girly I want a Vera Wang dress side.
Is it worth buying a dress that expensive? Is it an investment of any kind? Can I sell it back for close to the same amount of money I bought it for? Or will it be worth more if anything in the future? Help! Do I buy it or not?

    buying expensive is worth it, but i prefer monique luhllier wedding dresses. vera wang is overrated, i like her regular dresses better

    the only advice i can give is remember u only have one wedding so if u like it alot buy it.

    I wouldn’t spend that kind of money on a dress unless I actually had it. You’re buying the name more than anything. Why would you want to sell your wedding dress, it will have sentimental value. I say go with something less expensive and something you’ll like without the guilt. Enjoy!

    If it is past your budget then its not worth it because you are going to need the left over money for a house and all. So try to look around wedding stores for a similair style to the Vera Wang dress. But it is your wedding and that is a very special moment in a woman’s life. Either way it fine. Yes, No, Maybe So.

    while it is your day, look at it like this. your wearing that dress once. your paying mainly for a name. ive personally worn dresses as pretty as a vera wang that cost less.

    i dont think it is worth it. you could find a dress jus as beautiful for way less. anyway your are going to be gorgeous on your wedding day. everyone will be admiring how beautiful you are no matter what the tag says. with the money you save you can spend on your honeymoon!!!

    buying a wedding dress is worth it-IF you like the dress,Monique Lhullier is better than Vera Wang, (thats what I think) but you can chose.

    but you can chose and once again it is worth buying a dress for your PERFECT DAY!!! congrats!!!!! :)

    Don’t buy it. Rent it. You are going to wear it for one day anyway.

    yeah i think that if its the dress that youve always wanted then you should buy it. youre probably never ganna get a chance to do this again so go all out to look the most beautiful.
