Are wedding dresses overrated? They can feel that way when the expectation is that you need an expensive gown for the day to count, but the dress itself is only as important as it is to you. Some people love the craftsmanship and the experience of wearing something special; others would rather choose a simple dress, a suit, a jumpsuit, or something they already own. Before buying, think about comfort, the setting, and the full cost, including alterations, undergarments, cleaning, and any accessories. A sample-sale or secondhand wedding dress can be worth considering if you want a particular style without paying for a brand-new gown. You are not doing your wedding wrong by spending less, and you do not need to justify spending more if it comfortably fits your budget.
