-You can pull out your dress in years to come to show your children or to simply remember your special day.

Cons:

-The cost of buying a new wedding dress is significantly more than renting or buying a used dress. In fact, you’ll probably spend half of the amount you’d spend on a new dress if you decide to rent or buy a used dress.

-The dress will only be worn once and then will most likely only take up space in your closet or storage area.
