Wedding Dress Rental

-- Wedding Dress Rental --

With wedding budgets getting smaller and smaller, many frugal brides are opting to take advantage of wedding dress rentals instead of purchasing an expensive gown. And why not? After all, you’ll only wear it once!

The Benefits of Renting

Renting a wedding gown often allows brides to wear a beautiful gown that they might not have been able to afford to purchase new. By renting a wedding gown, brides don’t have to worry about spending hundreds – or thousands – of dollars on a dress she will only wear once. You also save after the wedding – you won’t need to worry about cleaning, storing, or selling a wedding dress!

Rent Some, Buy Some

You don’t need to rent your entire bridal ensemble. Why not rent your wedding dress, and purchase a beautiful tiara or veil, which you can save for future generations. It will cost a fraction of the price, and it won’t take as much room to store, either! Already have your wedding gown? There’s no reason to spend a fortune on shawls, gloves, crinolines and veils – you can often rent them at very low prices, starting at about $15! Using a combination of rentals and purchases is a fabulous way to get the best of both worlds.

Where to Rent?

Many bridal boutiques now have rental departments. Call around to local bridal boutiques to find out if they have rental departments – you will often find the lowest prices in the city on fashionable evening wear!

A New Fad

Men have been renting tuxedos for decades – so why not join in on the saving? The saying is “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” – so let your wedding gown be your “something borrowed,” and start looking for a rental shop near you. In 2009, spending on rented bridal gowns is forecasted to grow 7.5%, according to an industry research firm, IBISWorld.

Perfect for Traveling Wedding Parties

If you’re visiting another area for your wedding, you can arrange to rent a wedding gown from a rental shop in that area! You don’t have to pay for rentals on the days you are travelling – just the days you actually have the item. You don’t have to worry about carrying large garment bags while you are travelling, and the garments will come freshly steamed and pressed! If you are planning a destination wedding, why not check to see if there is a wedding rental shop in the vicinity? You can call ahead to let them know you will be arriving, and find out what they might have in yoru size.

Rent Formal Wear

Brides aren’t the only ones who can save money by taking advantage of renting a dress instead of buying it! Many of these rental shops also specialize in formal wear – so next time you are invited to a wedding or fancy affair, consider renting your evening gown! You may also be able to rent formal wear for your attendants, including flower girls and bridesmaids!

For years, brides have been spending lots of money on dresses they will only wear once. While it can be a sentimental purchase for some women, others end up selling the dress afterwards, or wishing they’d saved the money. Now you can!
