Wedding Planning

Something borrowed, for a fraction of the cost

Barn Wedding

On your wedding day, you want to look like a million bucks but not actually pay for it. Most brides purchase jewelry specifically for their wedding day and only end up wearing it once. So why not rent those beautiful jewelry pieces and save yourself the high costs of purchasing.

You have a few options when choosing a place to rent luxury jewelry items. Check with your local jewelry store to see if they offer jewelry rental programs. You may be surprised what kind of deal you can make if you just ask.

Online retailer Adorn Brides lets you browse their jewelry collection and reserve the date of your wedding. They ship your ordered pieces two business days before your event and you return it using the included packaging and label to Adorn the next business day after your wedding. Each piece is insured, which is included in the rental price. An example rental price is $100 for diamond necklace that retails at $2,000.

Shop early to ensure the jewelry pieces you want are available for your wedding date. Check the jewelry store/website’s insurance policy before agreeing to rent any pieces. Keep all rented pieces in a designated safe place on the day of the wedding. You are responsible for returning them and can end up paying an insurance deductible if they are lost or stolen.
