HOW CHEAP IS CHEAP?
There's no yard stick to this. Here's my definition of cheap: Renting a gown from bridal shop cost RM300 while a brand new gown from GZ is just barely RM130, this is what I call DIRT CHEAP!
Don't believe me, let me show you this.
Around RMB200
Less than RMB 250
Retail price RMB 400(my friend go ahead and bargain and see what u get)
ALL these are less than RMB 290.Tell me! Cheap or not? Hello!!!! its not RINGGIT MALAYSIA, its in REN MIN BI.
RM 1 = RMB2.2 (April 08)
So go and do the maths.
Besides wedding/evening gowns, make sure you buy your wedding accessories like necklace, earrings, headpiece, matching hand gloves from Guang Zhou. I guarantee you that its cheaper over there.
When you see shops like these....
make sure you go in and find the perfect accessories/ hand gloves/ head piece to match your gowns.
When you see shops like these....
Other than that, don't miss out the all the 'Ang Ang' (Red Red) wedding necessities....
DOUBLE HAPPINESS wordings, Ang Pows
Tea sets
Or anything that you think is NECESSARY!! I repeat NECESSARY!!
I have given you all the details. And now its time for you to discover Guang Zhou wedding street on your own. And I hope all these would help.
Latest Update:
According to Mr Meow, estimated cost for low budget traveling 3D/2N for 2 to GZ (air ticket, accommodation[2 star], transportation, gowns[4 gowns] and miscellaneous) is less than RM3000. Mr Meow, I seriously "pui fuk" you!

Sunshine: Its okay....you can tell ur friends or make a 2nd trip to GZ. I know where are the shoes, accessories, garments and handbags wholesale market in GZ. *evil grin*
Whoa. That's seriously cheap. I was just asking around and most ppl told me that to rent dresses and have the wedding pics taken costs RM4000 or so. More so if they have different classifications for the dresses. -_-
This type, by the time wedding comes, pokai no need go honeymoon di. -_-
Pam: Very true. I spent close to RM7000 on my pre-wedding pics ONLY! They claimed that the gowns I wore are VVIP. If only I knew GZ Wedding Street earlier...I wud hav save up A LOT!

Anyway, how's Ah Gu's sis? doing fine? and the baby? U r officially aunty lah u! hahahaha...
Exactly! Sakit to spend so much. Sigh. Hey, I'd like to know... do they have other gown designs? Like other skirt styles and not only the full skirts. I think I'd like a variety on the big day. =p
Thanks alot, Marie. Yup, do let me know if any of your frens going there.BTW, sorry coz forgot to let you know that my name is Yenny.
Marie, may i know where is the location to get shoes, accessories, garments and handbags wholesale market in GZ? thanks ^.^
Marie, we went to YiDeLu (ONE "de" Road" or called Toy Market) near HaiZhu Square... Its wholesale market for toys, bags, accessories, fake flowers , gifts, wedding accessories etc.. But its hard to get wholesale price unless buying in bulk... Meow
Regina Darling....make sure u go there. I'm sure you will 'laugh till ur gigi jatuh'....Gambate Ryota!
Pam: Yep..they have varieties of designs. I'm sure u can get something to ur liking.
Yenny: Thanks for dropping by, nice knowing you. Will update you if there's any news.
Meow: Thanks! Yep..i think we went to that street too. BUT didn't notice what's the name of the road.
marie, did you have to alter the dresses? did you do it in china or malaysia? how much as it?
Cherry, I did mine in M'sia. If i'm not mistaken less than RM100 to alter 10 dresses.
WHAT!? Alteration so cheap???
Usually when I alter even a regular dress, it costs RM20!!! Like to sew darts at the back and tighten it only. OMG, I feel like I've been ripped off!!!
wow if I knew this 5 years ago, I'd be off to gz to get the necessary stuff for my wedding!!!
OMG!!! The gowns are seriouly CHEAP!!! Very useful and informative posts. Hopefully, I can pay a visit there if I'm planning to get married. I will seek for more information from u next time, hope u can provide me more information. ^_^
Pam: Prolly mine is in 'bulk' that's why the aunty charged me so cheap.
Dinah: Its never too late, you can spread the words. Or get Ashley beautiful flower dresses.
Florence: No problem. Just let me know. I'll try my best to give you more information.
wah...marie, can imagine how "shiok" was your shopping trip there!
You wore 10 dresses for your wedding meh? Wasn't the whole changing from one baju to another real tiring?
Hi,i'm Grace here.
I have viewed all ur infomation,really thanks and i found it useful for me.
Because i'm getting married on 28 Dec 2008,and i'm planning to take my pre-wedding photo at hong kong.I'll go to hk on end of july,so i'll go guang zhou b4 that.
But if the bridal house already provide me 2 gowns for my weddind day,do u think i still have to buy?by my side i think buy a wedding gown is waste,because only wear once.So maybe u can give me ur comment to change my mind.
*waves*
hie marie!! remember me? im joyce..from taylors last time..love all the dresses!! reading this post make me feel like getting married!!
Pam sayang, if i wore 10 dresses I'm sure I'll be in "The Malaysia Book of Record". I wore 6 outfits for 2 days. The others are my bridemaids, mummy and mummy II evening gowns. That's why there are 10.
Hi Grace, thank you so much. I hope you find this useful for you. Since your bridal house is providing you 2 gowns, then stick to that, bcoz you have already paid for it. You could go to GZ for wedding necessities, like jeweleries or hair accessories, bedside red table lamp etc...
Joyce dearie!!! of coz i remember you, you sweet lil' thing. If you feel like getting married, then its time to hint your man. *wink*
Chinnee, u can bet that i do. I'm thinking of another trip to GZ to hunt 4 Baby Necessities "IF" i'm expecting. Baby prams, baby educational toys/games...i think that will be very fun....
T______T
still single..no man yet...can i hav a wedding with pretty dresses n all...without the groom??
T_____________________T
Haha. Phew. I thought 10 dresses. =p
6 outfits in 2 days isn't all that bad. In fact, it's pretty fair, I think. Haha.
Hi Marie,
I happen to saw ur blog via one of my friend recommendation. Your wedding dress are owesone. May I know how soon should we go and buy the wedding dress before our wedding dinner? (i.e 1 mth or 2 mths before) Secondly, which hotel do u stay? Is there any clean and cheap hotel nearby?
I really like your selections (sooo pretty!). I really had a good idea of the features I wanted as well, and it saved me a lot of money. When I saw the dress that matched my vision @ a great price it was easy to pick it up and run with it.If You Nead to Wedding Dresses Please Contact:- China-stylish.com is a professional company that integrates the design, wholesale, production and marketing.
Hi Marie,
Can you tell me where you alter your gowns? Really appreciate this!
hi Mrs. Anoti,
Nicole here, I am going to GZ on end of June2010 to take my pre-wedding photograph. But i have no contact, do u know any reliable wedding studio in GZ? I am on tight budget.
If i could not take photo in GZ, i will buy few gowns@Jiangnandadao, and take photo in Msia since the gowns are quite cheap. The gown that u bought is very nice, i love it so much. Do u still remember the shop name where u buy the gown?
TQ
Hi Nicole, I dont have studio contact over there. But i'm sure u can easily find one. When u reach Jiang Nan Da Dao, you will not think of shop names, bcoz the whole long stretch of streets sell different type of gowns. I'm sure u'll find one to your liking. Dun worry and enjoy.
