ABC Annual Conference Recap, Day 4: Rent the Runway, Designer Bridesmaid Dresses

How many times have you been told by the bride, "You can totally wear it again!" in regards to your bridesmaid dress? And how many times has it been true? Rarely, if ever! So, I am beyond excited to share this next great tidbit with you...Rent the Runway! Rather than spend $200-$400 on a bridesmaid dress they'll probably never wear again, why not choose a gorgeous designer frock for your bridesmaids that they can rent for only $50-$150?
Whoever came up with this is genius! Rent the Runway is a company that rents dresses, gowns, shoes, and accessories by fabulous designers for 10% of the cost of purchasing the items in a store. While not all of the items are bridesmaid appropriate, many are, and even more are wonderful options for rehearsal dinner, engagement photos, and much more!
Here are a few of my favorite options for your bridesmaids...

Robert Rodriguez, $75 to rent, regularly $595.

Badgley Mischka, $50 to rent, regularly $400.

Halston Heritage, $75 to rent, $455.

Lela Rose, $150 to rent, regularly $1,295.

And my favorite.....

Bibhu Mohaptra, $350, regularly $3,500.
I know it's pricey. But imagine wearing a $3,500 gown when you're not the bride...I know I would feel like a million bucks!

Your bridesmaids will receive their dress early enough to send it back and receive another if it doesn't fit quite right. It will come with a prepaid box to ship it back in after the wedding. Easy as can be!

Other than the last gown here, these are all incredibly affordable and will save your friends hundreds of dollars! And if they want to rent a second dress to wear to the rehearsal, the 2nd rental is half off. So theoretically (if they chose two $50 rentals), they could get 2 incredible dresses for only $75! Amazing, right?

Give your bridesmaids a gift for your wedding...Rent the Runway!
