I know most of the top rated deals on here are catered more towards tech-lovers/gamers etc but this may be helpful for the handful of brides looking to pinch the pennies while planning a wedding.

Pearls and Roses is a small bridal boutique in Geelong which has been around for over 30 years. Their dresses are beautiful - better in person than in the pictures. The owner is clearing out dresses and has marked a lot of them for only $600. Most of them were originally priced between $2000-4500.

The owner is a dressmaker with her own label, so is good at doing alterations (at about $70 an hr).

These are a few examples:

        Cool I will buy it and save it for my future wife as I’m still single, prices in creases as inflation so maybe this in 20 years will worth a lot as well.

    why is the price so high, isn't it made in china? is it like JB Hifi where they raise the price up and then put it on "sale" but it comes out to still be more then regular price at other stores?

      i bought one in china for $800. $600 here is excellent

    • Wonderfool on 14/10/2021 - 20:42

      How many people are having wedding in a given month? So you're paying the service for having a specialist to get something "fitted" on you, in an industry that would've hardly paid the bills if you don't overcharge it.

    • Ughhh on 14/10/2021 - 20:45
      +15

      If you've ever went shopping for a wedding dress, $600 is incredibly cheap for a non-asos type.

    • Laurenlauren on 14/10/2021 - 22:44
      +9

      The material is expensive and often there's a lot of it (have you seen the size of the trains on some of the dresses?).

      Then there's lace detailing or beading, most of which is handsewn.

      I'm certain there's wedding mark up too, but $600 for a good wedding dress is stupidly cheap.

  • Nillionaire on 14/10/2021 - 19:05

    OP have you ever bought from there before? Or anyone else here?

    • bemybubble on 14/10/2021 - 19:19

      My mum has had a few dresses made there. 10/10 for sure and she’s a wizard on the sewing machine. Highly recommend

      Yes, I bought my dress there. It's amazing. She has far nicer stock than any of the other dress shops in Geelong.

      Hun, I'm sorry, this relationship just wouldn't work out, you're a S and I bought a XL dress.

      • superValue on 16/10/2021 - 05:24

        Because it's a bargain you can buy various sizes just to make sure.

        Or buy XXL and then have it alerted to fit.

      All for this but I think it's because people come in all shapes and sizes, and finding something that fits well might not be easy off the shelf

      • NoApostrophePlurals on 15/10/2021 - 00:32
        +2

        People come in all shapes and sizes so dresses do too. You can actually rent wedding dresses, but obviously your choices will be very limited. The dressmaker will alter the dress to fit you as part of the service too.

    • Quam on 14/10/2021 - 21:13

      if all goes according to plan*.

      • FutureTech on 14/10/2021 - 22:01

        Don't think the bride would be too keen to wear the old wedding dress to her second wedding

    • Laurenlauren on 14/10/2021 - 22:38
      +5

      It's a great idea if you're the exact size as the model they made the dress for. Almost every wedding dress needs alterations to fit well.

    • NoApostrophePlurals on 15/10/2021 - 00:34

      I told my wife to rent and she didn't want a bar of it, so she paid for her wedding dress herself hahaha wait, I paid for the rest of the wedding.. not that funny now..

    • JakeyJooJoo on 15/10/2021 - 15:15
      +2

      Makes sense in theory, but not really that practical

      My wife bought a dress off the shelf, fit pretty well, but had to get some changes to it (can't do that to a rental)

      Then, after a day of full on sweat-grass-dirt-semen stains, the dress was pretty much (profanity). I'm doubtful it would have been able to be returned to a store for another use…

        +1 for the semen stain

      • KSMLJ on 15/10/2021 - 19:48

        Sweat-grass-dirt-semen.. someone couldn't wait.

        Also, some people pay extra for 'extras' on a dress, if you get what I mean.

    Not bad. In all honesty when wife and I married we also searched for wedding dress deals. My wife found a perfect dress for $370. She looked amazing in it.
    I don't quite understand why people would spend so much for a dress they would wear once.
    My wife has spent more on a zimmermann dress than she did on her wedding dress and kudos to her for that. She wears her zimmies and gets her moneys worth at least

    • dtc on 15/10/2021 - 09:31

      I don't quite understand why people would spend so much for a dress they would wear once.

      I dont understand why people would pay for a wedding at all, so even the cheap wedding dress seems pointless

        It's nice to have people celebrate with you the union of two people who find each other's partner for life. Been married for 7 years now and I can't believe what an amazing woman I found. She's honestly the one who keeps me happy in life and changed it for the better.
        So spending money to celebrate the start of our journey was fine. We didn't spend lavishly on the wedding. It was something I wouldn't change for the world
