Designer Wedding Guest Dresses You Can Rent from Rent the Runway

Let us collectively acknowledge one simple fact: No summer wardrobe is complete without a serious wedding guest dress rotation. It’s hard enough to curate an array of proper attire that meets the guidelines of any dress code, is genuinely easy to dance in, and is actually cute enough to warrant a spot in your closet in the first place. It’s even more challenging to strike this perfect balance without breaking the bank. But as enterprising wedding guests know all too well, there’s a solution to this seemingly impossible-to-navigate crossroads: Rent the Runway.

Rent the Runway has existed for years now. I was first acquainted with it in high school, when girls I knew would rent their prom dresses instead of dropping hundreds on something they’d never wear again. But as I grew older, my need for prom gowns and homecoming looks all but subsided; I stocked up on a couple no-fail LBDs I could rely on for dinners, parties and other semi-formal evening events. I was set—and then, wedding season arrived.

It was never unclear to me that my LBDs were ill-fit for any bridal occasion. Black may be endlessly chic, but weddings are concerned with happy romance—not sleek edginess. So I scoured the internet for wedding-worthy dresses I could add to my closet and rely on for years to come. But it’s become increasingly clear to me that maybe stocking upon a couple go-tos isn’t the move. Maybe that’s boring and monotonous. And maybe it doesn’t actually equip me to dress for any occasion, any setting, any dress code or any time of year.

Maybe the most efficient move isn’t to buy anything at all—and instead, to score stunning designer finds at serious discounts, and to return them after the wedding has come and gone. Maybe the key to a diverse, chic and truly versatile wedding guest wardrobe is to take each event as it comes—to let the setting and climate inspire your choice of look, instead of letting what you already own do the deciding for you. Plus, who doesn’t want the option to don a red carpet-worthy ensemble for a day, and to not have to pay the full price for it? (You’ll turn heads in person and in pictures, and without breaking the bank—need I, really, say more?)
