Wedding Dress Hire During COVID

PH838253 • Jan 13, 2021

With the ongoing pandemic continuing to affect our lives, many couples have had to put their plans for a big wedding on hold, or let go of them altogether.


Whatever you choose to do with your COVID wedding plans, there is one item that remains an essential – the need for a beautiful wedding dress!


At Something Borrowed Bridal, our wedding dress hire boutique has provided countless gorgeous designer wedding dresses to many happy brides, and are continuing our efforts throughout the pandemic.


The current guidelines for COVID weddings states that up to 6 guests can attend, so why not come to our Basildon wedding dress boutique and browse our selection of designer dresses available to hire for your special day.


Can’t Wait to Get Married?

Before we knew how long COVID was going to be in our lives way back last year, a lot of couples decided to simply push back their wedding date so they could still have the big day they had been planning.


At nearly a year since the first lockdown, some couples have made the decision that they simply cannot wait any longer to get married, so are choosing to make the most of the small wedding opportunities that are still available.


No matter the size of your wedding, a beautiful dress is still a necessity! And hiring a wedding dress is a great way to keep it as affordable as possible without compromising on the design and quality of your dress.



Two Celebrations? Why Not!

Our wedding dress boutique in Basildon has welcomed brides-to-be that have not only decided to go for the smaller wedding ceremony, but to also postpone the big celebration so they can enjoy the best of both worlds. 
This does however mean that not one, but two dresses are required!

Luckily our Basildon wedding dress boutique has an excellent range of various designers and styles, allowing our brides to try two different looks on their separate, but equally special, wedding celebration days. Hiring your dresses of course makes this a much more affordable solution than buying two dresses outright.

An excellent way to go if you are stuck choosing between two dresses!

When it comes to planning your big day, as much as you want to make it unique, and personal to you, it can help to take inspiration from current trends. Taking a look at what other people are doing, and putting your own spin on it can be a super exciting prospect – you’ll be able to create a gorgeously memorable day that you, your family and your friends can all enjoy. At Something Borrowed Bridal wedding dress hire in Basildon, we have compiled a list of some of the top wedding trends for 2021. We supply a range of beautiful wedding dresses to hire, and aim to help make your special day a day to remember. Going Big Be it the décor, the cake, the wedding dress – going BIG is one of the top wedding trends going in to 2021. Perhaps you’ve had to postpone your wedding because of COVID-19, we say what better reason to go all out and make it as special as possible! We’re imagining oversized centrepieces, an extravagant floral bouquet, and king-size balloons. Whatever vibe you are going for with your special day, why not incorporate something eye-catching that will completely wow your guests! Hire Your Dress The pandemic has brought on a lot of financial uncertainty for so many people. If you’re hoping to save a bit of money when it comes to your wedding, why not hire your wedding dress? At our wedding dress boutique in Basildon, Essex, we have a beautiful range of designer wedding dresses to hire, meaning you can achieve that designer aesthetic for a fraction of the price. Not only can it save you money, hiring your wedding dress can also save storage space after your wedding, as you won’t need to keep hold of it. There are so many perks for hiring your wedding dress, and you can read more about it here . Sustainable/Eco Weddings With more and more focus on reducing plastic waste and living more sustainably, this mindset can also be applied to wedding planning. Wedding dress hire is just one of the ways you can plan your wedding more sustainably. Consider this when shopping ‘new’ for anything wedding related – are you going to use it after the big day? Can you upcycle something to achieve the same effect? Is your catering locally sourced? Are there any plastic elements that can be swapped for paper? Not only is this mindset great for the environment, as with hiring your wedding dress, you might find you save a bit of money. Grazing/Dessert Tables It is becoming more and more trendy to ditch the traditional wedding cake, and opt for a more fun and interactive dessert table. From doughnut sculpture, cheese towers, to cupcake concoctions, the classic fruit cake is stepping aside to make room for these unique dessert options. Choosing dessert foods that you can graze on will encourage guests to get up on their feet, take in the gorgeous sculpture before tucking in! Hire Your Wedding Dress in Essex Today! We hope we’ve given you a few trendy ideas to help plan your upcoming wedding. If you’re hoping to hire your wedding dress, we are more than happy to provide.
