The Edit: Best Bridal Rental Brands
HURR Collective
Armed with the mission to give fashion a ‘green-over’, HURR uses its platform to give its customers access to the latest luxury trends and high-quality fashion. Its bridal section is packed with a beautiful selection of dresses and accessories.
How It Works? Browse through HURR’s catalogue and various bridal edits for some inspirations. Once you’ve selected the pieces you want to wear, rent them for days needed (rental periods start from four days) and you’re away. Rentals are covered by a Fit Policy and opt-in Damage Protection, so you don’t have to walk on eggshells for the entirety of your wedding day. You can return your items in the original packaging, using the address listed on your account.
Something Borrowed
Something Borrowed’s dresses are a combination of pre-owned, ex-sample, and some new, that have been curated for rental. Donated dresses also come with a message from the previous bride, giving each dress its own legacy and history.
How It Works? Once you spot something on the website, get in touch with the team to organise a home try-on service. As soon as you’ve found the one you can reserve it for the days needed (rental costs will be calculated based on how long you need the dress for). The team recommend starting the rental period two or three days before the big day. After the event, send your worn items back to Something Borrowed using the packaging provided.
