What to Wear?…Rent The Runway!
Jun 19, 2012 Wedding Planning Institute
So it is summer and the weddings are coming fast! You have a few to go to, but are running out of options on what to wear. Have you ever wanted to wear a couture dress but couldn’t afford it? Have you considered “Rent the Runway”?
Rent the Runway is a fabulous company that allows you to rent a couture dress for the evening at a fraction of what it would cost to buy. It’s all done online so you don’t have to go anywhere. Simply go to their website and start shopping.
The styles are endless, so many to choose from that it’s almost overwhelming! Short, long, A-frame, halter, one shoulder, etc. You name it, they have it. And they don’t just have dresses. You can shop for handbags, accessories, shoes and more.
Once you have chosen what you would like, they will send it to you with a pre-stamped post office bag. You simply put the dress in it and ship it back within 3 days. Easy Peasy…no work on your part! They dry clean it and get it ready for the next person.
This truly is a genius idea

I absolutely love Rent the Runway. I have never rented anything off Rent The Runway yet but it is a great idea for those needing an expensive dress and don’t have the money to spend $1k or more on a dress for a grandiose event.
I recommend rent the runway to friends, family and clients.
thanks for posting this blog.

If you are looking for a dress in the San Francisco area, this shop for luxury attire on loan is a good place to check out too. http://dress-sf.com/

I loove loove loove this! Who doesn’t want to look fabulous and not spend a ton of $ while doing it! And let’s face it…if we had our picture taken in it - chances are we are not wearing it again!! Brilliant concept.

I think this style of shoping is one of teh most ingenious concepts. I hate to buy a dress I might get 1 or 2 wears out of and then it sits in my closet. This is such a life saver for us budget-savy gals too!!

This is such an amazing idea. I love this and will be recommending it for brides and bridesmaids that don’t want to spend a lot on bridesmaids dresses. I can’t wait to try it out for myself and rent something!

This is especially great for international weddings because they ship internationally too!
