Wedding Gown Hunt in Guang Zhou : Part 2

Presenting to you the Famous Jiang Nan Da Dao a.k.a Guang Zhou Wedding Street.

How to get there?
Guang Zhou Metro System: Shi Er Gong (Line 2)

Take Exit D


There are at least 30-50 (or more) wedding gown boutiques there.

These are the ones I call 'boutiques', exactly like the ones you see in Jalan Ipoh or Jalan Loke Yew. With stylish decor....Price range RMB 800 and above.
Still affordable rite....wait till u see the next one....

But if u hav limited budget, remember the back alley shops I mentioned where you can find hidden gems.....this is how it looks like. Not appealing rite....

But don't be fooled by its dodgy looking alley.
Gowns here are similar to the ones at the boutiques.


See it for yourself....
Nothing fancy bout the back alley shops. No fancy decor, just plain racks of gowns.
Price wise : Most of them are less than RMB300 approx. RM130 dirt cheap ok.
(if you know how to bargain)




The short white and red gown is so cute!!!!


Other than back alley shops, you will also find "market like stalls". This is where I bought my RM 70 butterfly gown, RM100 Creamy Bronzy Layered Gown, RM100 Champagne color.
You'll be spoiled with choices over here. You can see a lot of tauke-niongs here, those with big big bags n trolleys, sourcing for the best gowns.

From wedding gowns to evening gowns, all you have to do is to survey and make comparison among the boutiques, back alley shops or market stalls. Make sure you know what sort of gown designs you are looking for. Whether you want it to be very flamboyant and extravagant.
or pretty white wedding gowns

Jiang Nan Da Dao is definitely the best place to start of with. However, bear in mind that bargaining is essential hence read my tips on getting cheap wedding gowns.
"Walk more to save hundreds"
is this the right translation? Can anyone help me? Dunno how to translate.


To Mr. & Mrs. Meow,

I'm glad that both of you made the right choice to get ur gowns from GZ. Mrs. Meow, I'm sure you'll look beautiful and stunning on your big day and I can't wait to attend your wedding.

Thanks for all the pictures!

Love,
Mrs. Anoti Voo

Dirt cheap gowns and they look nice too!
I'm a friend of Val's, and will be having the reception in Malaysia end of this year. We might make a trip to GZ if everything else falls into place.

Btw, do they make suits there as well? Good quality?

Appreciate your help. Thanks!!

Hi Stella, thanks for visiting. My friend just went there n bought 2 suits (full set inclusive of vest n ties) @ RM 125 each. Quality wise I'm not too sure, bcoz I didnt get the chance see him. But for my gowns, all of them are made of good materials n detailed workmanship.
