wanting to hire wedding dress??

New to this but wanted to ask if anyone knew of any companies which allow you to hire your wedding dress.
Trying to cut as much off the cost of our wedding as I can :rolleyes:

Any help would be great.
Thanks

  • The boutique I ordered my dress from offered a hire service for half the price of buying. This was just a normal non-chain shop so my advice would be to try these if you want to hire.

    Or try reading some of the other threads about buying from some of the ebay shops in china where you can pick up a dress for £100.

    I thought about hiring but found the price more then what i had in mind to buy, small budget, plus the risk of damage, i am with alot of other people on here and brought from Landy in China, loved my dress and no one could believe the price, under £100, you wont be able to hire for that price x
  • just abit worried about buying from Landy as heard on here some people saying the issues they have had, have looked on their website and couldnt believe the cost.

    listening to radio 2 last week - a lady came on who had just set up a new business hiring wedding dresses and all other associated garment. So sorry I cant remember the name but it definately had cinderella in it, i'll try and google if i get chance.

  • have now seen a dress on empire stores which i have fallen in love with at a cost of £290, not a bad price and as im a customer i can pay for it monthly, but still going to wait until nearer the time when the book is coming to an end (they may!!! put it in their sale - heres hoping)

    Are they the same as Empire direct? If so they have just gone bust, sorry x
  • No, thats a different company who deals with items like washing machines and elec items, empire stores is a catalogue
