Why wedding dresses cost more than you think comes down to detail, structure and fabric.
Most wedding gowns are made with multiple layers to create shape, support and movement. From lining to structure to the final outer layer, every element adds to the overall look and feel.
For A line and princess wedding dresses, the top layer alone can use metres of fabric to create volume and softness. Add a train and that number increases even more. The longer and more dramatic the train, the more fabric, time and craftsmanship involved.
Details like pleating, ruching and draping require even more precision, using extra fabric to achieve that soft, sculpted finish brides love.
At GWM Bridal, every gown is carefully designed and made to balance structure, comfort and beauty, tailored to your vision.
