Though the couple is promising till death do them part, you don’t have to make the same commitment to your look on their big day. Consider wedding guest dresses to rent if you’re not ready to make a permanent addition to your wardrobe.
You’re likely familiar with Rent the Runway or you’ve probably heard of Nuuly; those subscription services come in handy for when you want to try something new at a fraction of the price. And if you don’t want to commit to a monthly membership, there are a few amazing one-and-done rental options as well. (For my husband’s sister’s wedding, I recently rented a dreamy Solace London gown and Bottega Veneta clutch from Tulerie.) Don’t worry if you’re much more of a try-it-on-in-person-first type of guest. If you’re in the New York area, book an appointment at Nova Octo’s showroom to try on gowns from designers like Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera.
We’ve gathered our favorite dresses from each one of those services ahead. If you’re ready to win best-dressed guest, read on for 18 wedding guest dresses to rent.
