If you're attending a wedding every weekend for the foreseeable future—welcome to your mid-twenties—Rent the Runway is basically your savior. I mean, who has the money (or the closet space) to buy a dress for every wedding? Yes, you can re-wear a dress, but once you've worn it a couple times, I'm guessing you'll feel totally "meh" about wearing it again. Especially if there are pics of the dress all over social media.
Here are six rentable options that I love for wedding guests. And if you place an order of $75 or more today, you can save $25 with code RTRGLAMOUR25. (The code is only good for today!) Since rentals start at just $30, you could be outfitted for your next three weddings for under $100. Not bad.
Dress 1
Tracy Reese Lemon Cake Sheath, $75 rental.
Dress 2
Kate Spade New York Mariella Dress, $75 rental.
Dress 3
Shoshanna Periwinkle Jennifer Gown, $100 rental.
Dress 4This dress looks bananas in their picture, but it's totally matte in real life. I wore it here!
Lela Rose Phython Matelasse Dress, $30 rental.
Dress 5
ML Monique Lhuillier Give Me a Smooch Gown, $125 rental.
Obviously not all of these dresses would work for every occasion, but I think there's a good option up there for most weddings. And I know the short dresses look super short on the models. You can get a better idea of what the dress will look like on you by clicking "Customer Photos," where you can often find a girl who's your size and height. Reading the reviews is also helpful if you're not sure about size.
Would you rent a dress to wear to your wedding? Which of these dresses is your favorite?
One of Rory's dear friends just got engaged last night, and I'm already eyeing No. 5! (Not that I have any idea when or where the wedding is happening. But I like to plan ahead.) Congrats, Dan and Cait!
