The preference for weddings: 'rental wedding dresses'
Couples planning to marry in Kırşehir are opting for rentals instead of purchasing due to rising wedding dress prices. With wedding dress prices starting at 50,000-60,000 TL, businesses in the city are highlighting rental services and launching various promotional campaigns.

Fatih Koca, who works in the wedding dress business in the city, said that recently, the majority of customers have turned to the rental option instead of buying.
Stating that interest in rentals has increased as wedding dress prices have risen, Koca said, "Today, a customer who wants to buy a wedding dress needs to set aside 55,000-60,000 liras.
We, on the other hand, rent out the same products for between 25,000 and 30,000 liras.
Our promotional products start at 15,000 liras and go up to 30,000 liras. The package includes the wedding dress, bindallı (traditional henna night dress), and veil."
Müberra Can, who noted that customers are also requesting to rent henna night supplies by comparing them with wedding dresses, said, "We do not currently rent out henna night supplies.
However, we are considering evaluating this practice in the future.
Wedding dresses can be professionally cleaned after each use.
However, it is more difficult to implement the same practice for henna night supplies because the risk of deformation is higher."
