Back in the days, renting a wedding gown for that special day seemed completely absurd and out-of-question! Now the gown rental trend is not only fully accepted, but in full swing and widespread among bridal shops across the country. Brides are simply looking at the practicality of a cost effective way to have that luxurious wedding of their girlish childhood dreams. And what’s wrong with renting instead of buying? In some cases, leasing can be one-third the price of buying.

Taking a cue from the growing acceptance of gown rental, other services are emerging that provide brides options for perfecting their “look” for their wedding day.

One of the newest and innovative leasing options for weddings is bridal jewelry leasing. This popular trend of leasing genuine, authentic jewelry at a fraction of the price is picking up steam with brides and their attendants. Brides, who appreciate fine jewelry and are searching for an elegant alternative to costume jewelry, are finding the affordable option of leasing their wedding jewelry to be a perfect solution. Like Hollywood celebrities, they get the beauty of a glamorous piece of jewelry around their neck or wrist for their special day without the expense. With the Internet at their fingertips, working with web-based companies like Adorn Brides is a convenient way to add some bling to their wedding day.

While renting or leasing wedding gowns and jewelry are very intimate items for brides to lease, there are many other accoutrements that brides may rent to add the perfect touch to their special day. Here are 4 other wedding rental options to consider for that special day:

1. Wedding Limousine Service

You can’t forget the limousine. Renting a limousine service for your wedding day can not only be a wonderful way to travel on your special day, but a great convenience to planning the travel arrangements for everyone involved in the wedding party. Depending on the size of your wedding party, more than one limousine may be necessary.

2. Wedding Facility in a Spectacular Location

So many couples go with the usual wedding facility - from the local church hall to the upscale country club ballroom. Why not rent your facility in a vacation spot for all your guests to enjoy a vacation in a beautiful or exotic place? Lake Tahoe is often referred to as the perfect year round vacation and wedding destination with terrific weather and breathtaking scenery. And if that doesn’t work, why not a unique facility like a local botanical garden, city owned mansion, a lighthouse or historical castle that rents for weddings. The wedding can even be arranged at the place where the couple had their first date - a vineyard, a park, the beach or even the zoo!

3. Wedding Arch or Chuppah

Many couples deciding on outdoor weddings will rent the wedding arch or chuppah to accessorize their “altar” area. The wedding arch or chuppah canopy can be decorated with flowers, plants or balloons that match the floral and color theme of the wedding. The arches come in a variety of shapes and sizes - lattice, brass, heart shaped, round, square - and even gazebos to rent for the outside wedding “altar”. The decorations and accessories to the arch or Chuppah are many. Beach weddings can also rent torches leading up to the arch - creating an “aisle”, garden weddings can rent railing structures that can be configured many ways around the wedding arch to make room for a whole wedding party.

4. Unique Dome Tents

Why not become the talk-of-your-town by thinking outside the “box” tent and renting a unique “dome” tent for the wedding? These futuristic structures are an all-in-one facility for that special day. >From design concept and planning to setup and teardown, dome tent renters are available to work out all the details to pulling off the perfect wedding. Dome decorations can be spectacular and most dome tents provide built in media projection screens with natural acoustics, will coordinate in-house music, lighting and interior design to your specifications.

Beach weddings are not only romantic, but it’s also close to nature. The natural beauty of the surroundings will always complement your vows of love to one another. If you want to follow your beach wedding idea, you have to carefully prepare each detail to make them all perfect for the wedding.

You can have a romantic beach theme wedding while making it affordable if you have all the plans in place. The extra hurdle that you will need to make sure this is going to go well is the weather, so make sure you hold your wedding in the summer.

The Florida beach wedding, Myrtle beach wedding, and Miami beach wedding are some of the best places in the country where you can get married. To get your visitors in the mood for the celebration before they even reach the place, your beach wedding invitation should have the proper beach theme wedding invitations. You have to inform them of whether they would see you in a casual beach wedding dress or an informal beach wedding dress so that they could match the correct beach wedding attire and beach wedding wear.

Most of the beach wedding dress styles are simple and would not require a very long back since you’ll be in the sand during the ceremony. Beach wedding decoration could be quite a challenge since it’s probably going to be windy, but use those that are in season and have a stand for the flowers.

Your beach theme wedding cake should not melt in the sun quickly, so don’t have any ice cream cakes for your beach wedding cake. Your beach theme wedding favor should also speak of nature. A special shell or anything you prefer would be good for reminding them of the occasion as a simple but elegant beach wedding.

Another important memory that you would like to have is the photos of your wedding, so be sure to have a professional beach wedding photographer. They are already familiar with the sun and all the proper adjustments that they will need to get that perfect shot. You can also have your friends take some pictures to have the memory of the celebration, but it’s always best to have a professional create some memories for you.
