1. Read the fine print

Always read all the terms and conditions of the online/retail portal that you rent your wedding couture from. This might sound a little exasperating in the beginning but will save a lot of time, money and energy later. Under this category, you need to focus on a couple of things:
A. Check the delivery process -
Make sure that the online/retail portal has an easy delivery policy where they deliver and pick up the clothes with the least amount of efforts from your end. The period before your wedding is crucial and it helps if your wedding dress comes to your doorstep hassle-free. Some online portals also have free delivery and pick up service. All you need to do is keep the dress packed and they will take care of transporting your wedding lehenga on rent.
B. Duration for rent -
You need to confirm the duration of the rent as well. Normally, rental companies have a fixed number of days allocated in their policy. Ask them how particular they are about them and if they can make changes in case your own plans alter.
2. Get the perfect fit

The bridal fitting has to be impeccable and most companies have a local retail shop where the online portal’s designated stylists will help you select the perfect wedding ensemble of your dreams. They also help with the alterations so that the dress fits you to a T. Draping it another story too, one we've earlier explored in our piece on lehenga wearing styles for all body types.
Ensure that you try it ahead of your big day with dedicated bridal fitting sessions accordingly. This would mean that you look for a consultation cycle that's open for at least a couple of such sessions before you book a wedding lehenga on rent.
3. Check for hygiene

Before signing up for a wedding lehenga on rent, check for the following:
A. Step-by-step cleaning process
Check the step-by-step process of how hygienic the clothes are that you are about to rent. All the good companies out there know how this could be a service that could make or mar their company’s reputation and negligence won’t be tolerated.
B. Check for handling conditions
If you are one of those clumsy cats (how ironic! a cat who is clumsy? Are you kidding me? Geddit? Geddit?) who keeps falling everywhere and spills sauce more than sass than you don't need to worry much. These companies make sure that the dress is dry-cleaned well and looks as good as new.
Still, check against their handling conditions. Tears, burns and obvious handling issues are a no-no with most people and would come out of your security deposit.
4. Being a Badass Bride

This is the most essential step in the whole process. Enjoy that god damn wedding as these are rare occasions that don’t come very often. Dazzle everyone with that effervescent smile of yours. The clothes are going to be a huge success and won’t burn a hole in your pocket either.
When AIB came up with a bizarre video called ‘Fervent- Apps That Should Exist’ a couple of years ago, little did we know that their naïve and puerile joke on people who can’t get enough of extravagant wedding clothes, would make so much sense for today’s generation.
Their subtle marketing gimmick of promoting a website *cough*-‘Flyrobe’-*cough* that helps you in renting expensive designer wedding outfits at minimal prices and is void of any logistical issues, is a hilarious and effective way of making the most of social media to reach out to the audience. Connect with the vibe and try your hand at picking up a wedding lehenga on rent and see how you effortlessly ace your game for that perfect bridal outfit as well.
So don’t forget to check out other marvellous tips and ideas that will help you make your wedding a top-notch affair to be remembered by all!
