space. If your wedding dress is one dress that you should wear only once in your life and you do not want to spend big bucks for the it, you can consider renting the dress. Many bridal salons now rent dresses and accessories for a fraction of the purchase price.
1. Check the Yellow Pages and online listings from sites such as Switchboard.com and Whitepages.com to find out where the bridal gown rental companies are in your city or one nearby. Find a wedding dress rental business with a stellar reputation.
2. Visit the shop to look at the dresses. One disadvantage of wedding dress rental is that you'll have fewer options. You must find a dress that fits well and that is in excellent condition, which may take some time.
3. It doesn't make sense to purchase accessories for a dress you don't own, so many rental stores offer wedding dress packages. Try to find a head-to-toe package that includes a veil or tiara, jewelry, undergarments and shoes.
4. Even if it sounds like a good price, ask for a lower price. You will save money here and there and perhaps be able to invest in something new and special that you really want. If the company does not want to drop the price, ask if they can throw in some extras, like a veil and tiara or pair of long white gloves and satin shoes.
5. Read the rental agreement carefully. Pay close attention to charges related to dress damage and make sure you agree with the renter's written description of the dress's condition. Ask questions and express concerns before signing anything. Wedding dress rentals are great for destination weddings. Popular wedding locations like Las Vegas have many bridal rental shops to choose from.
