10 Reasons Why You Should Rent Your Bridal Veil and Accessories:
Love. Wear. Return.
You look fabulous, and we will do the rest! Borrowed is renting made easy. We are here to explain our top 10 reasons why you should Rent vs. Buy when it comes to high-end accessories for your wedding day.
1. Saves you money to rent vs. buy high-end accessories “Style on a budget”
Borrowed by LJB is proud to be partnered with high-end bridal accessories companies. The rentals we offer are from designers Alyson Nicole, Celeste NY, Davie & Chiyo, Hushed Commotion, Les Couronnes de Victoire, Lizeron Paris, and Nestina. Each brand has their own unique handcrafted features creating stunning, authentic, and sustainable accessories. Borrowed is here to provide high-end style on a budget.
2. Allows you to stay on top of fashion trends
Fashion trends are always changing. It is hard for consumers to stay on top of fashion trends when it comes to accessories. Here at Borrowed by La Jolie Bride, all our pieces are hand selected by professional bridal stylists. They know what trends for dresses, jewelry, veils, accessories and all things wedding are in style, and also timeless pieces that will never go out of style.
3. Saves closet and storage space
We have all been there, done that, when it comes to an overflowing closet or draw space. With renting everything comes so much easier! Your purchase comes in a few days prior, bundled in a cute and sustainable packaging that is easy to store until use. You wear your stunning rentals at your desired occasion, and you ship back hassle and storage free!
4. Good for the environment
Did you know that the average wedding produces 400 lbs of garage and 63 tons of CO2. With an estimated 2.5 million weddings per year, that is about 1 billion lbs of trash accumulated. By renting instead of buying you are able to recycle products and expand their life cycle. Small acts of sustainability add up in the long run. 70% of weddings incorporate sustainable practices and that will go up by 90% by 2025. Let's strive for green weddings!
5. Avoids the “wearing once” aspect
The fashion industry is one of the largest polluters in the world. Around 208 million lbs. of waste were generated by single-use outfits in 2019. “36 billion is the estimated number of clothing items thrown away in the US each year. 95% of which could be recycled or reused” -Globaldata
Let's be honest, as a bride will you ever reuse your wedding veil, wedding dress, or wedding hair accessories? Probably not. Renting your wedding accessories is a lot more practical!
