Identify Your Needs
Renting your wedding gown has never been easier! From websites dedicated exclusively to gown rental, to fashion rentals with bridal options and boutiques that provide rentals; there are various choices available that may meet your needs – even asking if your favorite boutique offers bridal gown rentals may be an option!
Renting can be an economical choice for brides on a tight budget, but renting may limit your choices if you prefer specific styling or are working with a stylist at a salon.
If you plan on wearing or passing down your wedding dress in future generations, renting may not be suitable. Renting can void some sentimental value and take away from that special shopping experience! For an unforgettable wedding experience we encourage exploring all options available to purchase your gown!
Know Your Size
As you prepare to try on gowns, it is essential that you understand that bridal sizing differs significantly from standard clothing sizes – in fact it could be two to four sizes larger!
When it comes to determining your size, using a soft, flexible measuring tape with someone present can be the easiest and simplest way. Be sure to measure around your back, underarms and natural waist crease (not belly button) for bust measurements and along natural waist crease (not belly button) measurements for waist.
Once your three measurements have been taken, your stylist will use them to compare against a size chart from designer. They will order your dress based on the largest measurement; this ensures your hips fit perfectly while bust and waist can be altered later as necessary – after all it’s easier to make something smaller!
Know the Alteration Policy
Wedding gowns can become damaged for various reasons – from lipstick stains to wine spilling – so rental companies require brides to sign contracts agreeing to pay any damages that occur in their dresses as well as incur fees for shipping and return expenses, which could add up and leave brides with an expensive bill.
Another key consideration when renting dresses is how long they’ll be available to you. Most rentals will ship and deliver within a short time window, giving brides limited opportunity to make necessary alterations or select new dresses if necessary.
Renting a wedding gown will prevent future generations from inheriting it as an heirloom and using it again for other events; purchasing allows you to browse multiple selections and have alterations performed to achieve an ideal fit.
Make an Appointment
Bridal gown rental can help alleviate some of the pressure of finding your ideal dress by reserving one in advance, though this means it could arrive too close to your wedding date for adjustments or backup.
Some rental services allow brides to make minor alterations on the spot while others require you to select from already ordered sizes as a back-up solution. It is wise to inquire as to the policies of your chosen rental service before scheduling an appointment.
