Save vs. Splurge: Watters Weddings Gowns

I'm a really, really big fan of wedding gown designer Watters & Watters. In fact, when I was shopping for my own wedding dress, I was always drawn to Watters for their modern, fresh take on elegance and clean-line design. When their latest collection came out, I wanted to be a bride all over again just so I could try on these dresses! Watters offers an incredible amount of trendy style and classic lines with the budget bride in mind. When flipping through the latest collection, I noticed that many Watters gowns could easily substitute for couture dresses that so many of us covet, but cannot afford. Of course, this Owl adores Monique Lhuillier, Priscilla of Boston and Amsale, but Watters & Watters is truly a contender as far as style and budget are concerned.

Take a look at today's feature: Saving with Watters vs. Splurging with Couture.

I actually purchased the Austin Watters gown for my September 2010 wedding from an authorized Watters/Wtoo boutique. I paid more than $2000 for it ($2800 CAD plus taxes and alterations!). I originally fell in love with the Christos Desiree gown, but it was way out of my budget ($4500). The Watters gown feels so amazing and has a much better price point. Great comparisons and great posts. Thanks!

This is a very useful post for all brides-to-be! Sometimes, a second thought about spending so much money on a gown that you can only wear for one day is a very good thing indeed!
