In the world of Saudi Arabia and all the Middle East countries, it is an aged old tradition among the brides to spend extravagantly for their wedding dress, which they cherish for the rest of their lives.
The situation now is utterly different: due to the downfall of the economy of the region, majority of the families in Saudi Arabia cannot even think of splashing heavily for their daughters wedding.
Instead of shelling out a huge chunk of money for the brides wedding outfits, a recent change is the renting of wedding dresses for the ceremony.
To cut down the wedding cost, the latest fashion craze of the Saudi brides is to rent a jazzy and elegant outfit for few hours rather than investing on one. Almost a majority of the shop have already opened up rental services seeing the sudden boom.
A Saudi wedding garment can cost up to 10,000 riyals, which is of no use later on. Therefore, most of the brides themselves opt for renting one rather than blocking that huge amount of money. By doing so they save at least 5,000+ riyals, because for a single night the service provider will charge you somewhere around SR 1,000 to SR 3,000.

most of the muslims have forgotten the teachings given by the holy prophet(sal) .
he has taught muslims to deal in a particular way in every aspect of life including marriages .
today a huge amount of money is spent to show ones status and pride
people never shy demanding money.
as we observe millions of poor people are not able to gain the basic requirements.
will not ALLAH ask muslims about what they do?
The fact is that muslims have left QURAN.
They only respect it as a holy book.
They never follow it and lead their life according to QURAN.
had they done it they would not have ben getting the hammering they are getting now.
May ALLAH guide all the beleivers and once again bring his laws on earth.
This is some great info about marriages in Saudi Arabia. I must say that each bride does cherish the wedding dress till eternity.
Very interesting!
I think it is the most economical way of getting wedding dresses.
