Ready-to-Wed: Here’s Where You Can Get Affordable RTW Wedding Dresses
Jan 12, 2020 • Cristina Morales
If you’ve been active on social media recently, it’s highly likely that you’ve seen multiple contacts getting engaged last month. Maybe you’re even one of the lucky folks who finally put a ring on it. If so, you’ve probably already done some research and found that 1) wedding planning is hard, and 2) weddings are expensive AF. Thankfully, there are a few parts of your wedding that you can afford to save on—even your dress. These RTW dresses make wedding dress shopping so much easier, plus buying off-the-rack can be so much more affordable! Here are just a few shops where you can find affordable RTW wedding dresses in the Philippines.
Ivory and White Bridal
Ivory and White Bridal carries a curated selection of beautiful gowns in a wide range of fabrics and silhouettes. Most of these dresses are priced at ₱28,000 to ₱45,000, but gowns on sale are sometimes priced below ₱20,000, so phone ahead to find out if there are any gowns on sale. Though most of the dresses in-store are in US size 8 and 10, the store does special orders for all sizes, and most gowns can also be ordered with your exact measurements (with a 6-month lead time). Set an appointment by visiting their official website.
