Weddingbee boards

I just read all these cost saving tips and one of the suggestions was to rent your wedding dress. Is anyone renting a dress?  If so, where are you renting it from?

I am, Im renting my dress from Queen Bridals in San Jose Ca. The package includes everything from veil to jewelery and also 2 tux rentals and 1 bridesmaid dress. I love my dress and i know if i would of bought it, it would of been over $1000.

I've been to both Phuong Trinh and Queens Bridal, both are in San Jose and rent wedding dresses.  Queens is nicer with a wider variety and better condition dresses, but Phuong is cheaper, I think.  Both have packages with great deals for other things, like flowers, suit rentals, decoration, etc.  If you get a package, it's easier to negotiate.  There are a couple of rental places in San Francisco, too, but the selection and quality aren't that great, and the sales people are more aggressive.  You can do a search on Yelp if you're interested.  Renting is great if you're environmentally conscious and want to save a ton of money!

Thanks for the tips girls.  I'll check out the two places you mentioned.
