Would you rent your wedding dress?

A growing trend that had us saying, is this for real? Brides renting their wedding dress, jewelery, or even wedding cake? Yes, it is happening.

Can't afford that $12,000 gown?  What about renting it?  At first we were confused because what bride doesn’t want their own dress on their special day.  However, for some this makes sense and gives them access to a dress they wouldn't normally be able to afford.  Check out One Night Affair that has capitalized on this trend.

We've all heard of Styrofoam layers for cakes, but completely fake cakes? Yes, it's happening and can cost $275 to rent vs. $1400 for the real thing.  Many provide the option of partial or fully fake cakes and then sheet cakes (which are a lot less expensive) are cut and served to guests who are none the wiser.  It will leave you wondering the next time you are at a wedding; is it real or fake?

Whether it's your dress, cake, jewelry or even flowers, the options for renting are growing.  So, would you consider renting  these items for your wedding?
