If you live in Australian and New Zealand, beware….high end couture shops are now charging just for you to try on wedding dresses!
Now, brides-to-be will have to shell out hundreds of dollars just for trying on their wedding couture. In a bid to keep away time wasters, high-end boutiques across Australia are now planning to charge brides-to-be for trying on a wedding dress.
Designers and bridal store-owners in the UK and New Zealand have already been charging for first-time visits. The designers said that they are tired of single women or time wasters who are either not getting married or can’t afford the dresses they want to try on.
Designer Alex Perry has been charging 350 dollars for a two-visit consultation with women interested in buying the wedding creations, which are priced from 8000 dollars.
One bride-to-be Alicia Godoy says
“If I loved the dress and they refunded the money then OK, but if I didn’t love the dress I’d be kind of annoyed. It can be a nuisance if you go from one store to another and spend all that money,”
What about you? How would you feel about getting charged to try on wedding dresses? What is a reasonable fee?
