Getting
married? Congratulations!
Feeling
overwhelmed by your to-do list? We understand! While getting married is a once
in a lifetime event for some people, everyone expects it to be absolutely
magical- something straight out of a fairytale or a romance novel.
What most
people don't anticipate is the amount of behind-the-scenes work that has to be
put in to have the perfect wedding ceremony.
Planning a
wedding ceremony is truly exhausting regardless of how excited you are about
it. There are decisions to be made and it can all get overwhelming. Hence, cold
feet in some brides.
However, one
major thing that remains on your mind, as a bride, is the wedding dress! Yes,
the object of your fantasies and various daydreams.
Most wedding
dresses are a reflection of the bride's personality and if you're leaning
towards being a glam, luxurious bride, then designer wedding dresses are
definitely at the top of your thoughts.
Buying a
wedding dress is easier said than done, especially if it has to be designer.
You have to visit several bridal stores and consult several designers. Sounds
like more to add to your to-do doesn't it?
Worry not!
We have the perfect solution for your wedding dress dilemma, Designer wedding
dress rentals!
Wedding magazines
Wedding
magazines are basically the best friends of a bride-to-be. Any and all
information pertaining to pre- and post-wedding plans are all available within
the glossy pages.
Most
brides-to-be indulge in several copies from several brands. So, if you haven't
gotten your packs yet, subscribe to some right now. Most wedding magazines, if
not all, have information and details on where and how to get the perfect designer wedding dress
for your big day.
Check out
the bridal stores that are listed for any dress that catches your eyes, chances
are that the store also offers rental services.
Bridal stores
To rent the
best designer wedding dress for your wedding, create a list of bridal stores
around your location which are likely to have designer dresses. Some stores
exclusively offer designer dresses for their collections and your dress is most
likely waiting on one of their racks. While venturing on your tour of stores,
always remember to enquire if they have options for rental before skimming through the racks- just to
avoid disappointment.
Wedding exhibitions
Designer
bridal stores and collections are always present at exhibitions and bridal
shows so you have to make it a point of duty to attend as many as you can. At
exhibitions you will definitely find a place to rent a beautiful designer dress
for your wedding and if you don't, you'll be pointed in the right direction to
where you can.
Referrals
It's almost
impossible for a bride to figure everything out on her own without seeking
assistance – even if you are/were a wedding planner.
Making
inquiries from other brides and stores for references will really narrow down
the search for stores that offer rental services for designer wedding dresses.
Getting references and referrals is an important aspect in planning a wedding
to avoid any and all errors.
Online shopping
One of the
most stress-free and efficient ways to shop is to go online.
Rather than
visit stores one by one, you can have their websites and online stores opened
on several tabs on one computer. When you enter the appropriate key words, you
will find several designer wedding dress rentals on the Internet.
All that
will be left to do is to select one that offers your choice of style,
within your location and at the right price you'll have your dream dress.
