Gown Rental Pros and Cons
Many women are interested in the rental option for their gowns. In addition to buying a wedding dress, most brides have to contend with preserving and
storing the wedding dress. With a rented dress, all you have to do is choose the dress, wear it, and return in within the allotted time period. You don't
even have to worry about the dry cleaning.
Pros
A rental is a great option if money, maintenance, destination location or space is an issue.
Money: With a dress rental, you'll be spending a lot less money. Many expensive designer wedding dresses will rent for only a couple of hundred dollars.
In fact, many rental businesses offer packages that include veil, shoes and jewelry. Use the money saved for other wedding aspects, the honeymoon or
even as part of a down payment on your future house.
Maintenance: The last thing any bride wants to worry about upon returning home from her honeymoon is cleaning and preserving her wedding dress.
With a rented dress, this is the least of your worries. Once you're through with the dress, you can return it. The cleaning is handled by the rental
business.
Destination weddings: Renting a destination wedding dress will save you from having to lug a heavy suit bag on a plane.
Many places famous for
destination weddings, such as Las Vegas or Hawaii, have many wedding rental shops to choose from.
Space: If you have limited storage space, a rental helps to eliminate the issue of where to store your wedding dress.
Cons
While renting a dress may sound like a great idea, keep these potential issues in mind:
Selection: The selection for a rental dress is often smaller than at typical dress shops, and the available designs may be several season or even years
old.
Size: In many cases you won't be able to make alterations and can only choose a gown in your size. If the dress of your dreams doesn't fit properly, you'll
have to find a different one. If the rental location does offer alterations, it's usually a separate charge.
Care: While you won't have to pay for dry cleaning, you will have to take special care with the gown. If you cause damage to the dress, you may be
expected to pay for the repairs. If the dress is damaged beyond repair, you'll have to purchase it outright.
Impersonal: If you go for a wedding dress rental, you lose the ability to be able to save your dress and pass it on to someone special.
Rather than paying thousands of dollars for a gown you will
wear just once, consider renting a wedding dress that you can
feel great in while saving money. A rental is a great option for
brides who want a stunning dress without the stunning price tag.
