Why Rent?

Renting carefully curated, new or gently-worn bridal attire and accessories is a sustainable way to bring your wedding wardrobe vision to life. When you rent with us you're helping to reduce fashion’s footprint - one rental at a time!

We provide one-of-a-kind designer pieces for a fraction of the cost so you can step out in multiple outfits leading up to wedding day with zero guilt. Renting also gives you the opportunity to explore different fits, discover new designers, and experiment with style without making the full time investment.

How It Works

We specialize in offering exclusive designer rentals for brides, focusing on cocktail attire and accessories. Rentals can be reserved for 5 to 10 days and shipped to brides anywhere in the US. Renting is perfect for all different bridal events: engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, after party, and more. Dry cleaning is handled by SWS on the backend, your only responsibility is to have a good time!

New rental inventory is added to the site every month. If we don’t have an item that you’re looking for, don’t worry, we can help you source it.

The Dress Hunt: hire SWS stylists to source an exclusive or rare fashion find that you cannot live without.
