natalie8 Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Greetings, ladies. I'm getting married next March and I'm looking for wedding dresses now. I live in Bangkok and I'd like to have recommendations on good wedding shops. I've been to a couple but no luck. I've seen shops along Lad Prao, but I haven't gone to them yet. Another question, am I better to rent or to buy the dress? The wedding will be in Phuket. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There is a very fancy looking wedding shop in the same building as Oishi in Thonglor, just a short walk (and on the same side of the road) as the Witches Tavern. No idea about prices, but considering the neighbourhood, probably not cheap. You didn't actually mention if it was a traditional, white, western style wedding dress you were looking for (I assume it was), but how about going for a Thai costume instead? My wife had a 2 loverly dresses made in Bangkok for our wedding for less than a western costume would cost. Just an idea..... If you are interested, I can get you the name of the tailor - she has a small shop in Sukhumvit Soi 23, halfway up to the university. She did a great job, and has an amazing range of styles and materials to choose from. WS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toastwars Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention that I was looking for the traditional white dress, but I like your idea, whiteshiva. My fiance is Thai and we're having our reception / party on Kata beach in Phuket. I like the idea of traditional Thai. I'll check that out.

sbk Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 All the Thai weddings I have been to (and they are alot) the bride has worn the traditional gown in the morning for the ceremony with the family and a white wedding gown at the afternoon reception/dinner. So, best option, have two! Most women rent theirs (makes sense to me) but I imagine you could get one made to order (buy one of those Bride magazines for design ideas) to a spec you like.

Sel Posted October 28, 2005 Share Posted October 28, 2005 There are about 20 or so wedding dress shops on the adjoining road at the top end of KSR. The burger king end. Banglampoo is actually the oldest shopping district in bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundberg Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi, What about opening hours for the wedding shops in BKK? Are they open at sundays? (we are doing a few quick stops on sundays in BKK) /Björn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
