Is It Better to Rent or Buy a Wedding Dress in Singapore? Pros & Cons Explained

One of the first questions brides type into Google is: “Should I rent or buy my wedding dress in Singapore?” Both options sound appealing—but which really makes sense for you?

Buying a Wedding Dress

Pros

• Custom fit, tailored to your body

• Keepsake you can pass down or resell

• Unlimited alteration options

Cons

• $2,500–$10,000+ for a gown you’ll wear once

• Storage takes up space in Singapore homes

• Low resale value (hard to sell later)

Renting a Wedding Dress

Pros

• Affordable ($600–$1,500 on average)

• Flexible—you can rent multiple looks (ROM, banquet, afterparty)

• No storage or cleaning needed

Cons

• No ownership—return required after your event

• Limited alteration flexibility
