Weddings are a time of great expenditure. It is easy to filter away pounds on dresses, cars, flowers, venues and catering when there are alternative options.

A wedding dress along with the grooms suit, bridesmaids gowns, flower girls and page boys, plus whoever else in the families who feel they need to play a role in someone else’s important day, can add up to a lot of money. Spending obscene amounts on clothes that will be worn only once is at best extravagant and often unnecessary.
Hiring that special wedding dress for the day is a growing trend more popular amongst younger couples feeling the pinch and trying to avoid debt. The likes of tuxedos and top hats and tails are also increasing in popularity. The downside to hiring a suit or dress is that the great care that must be taken not to stain or tear the clothes as it could end up costing more than buying them instead. The other problem up not having any material objects to remember the special day.

Hiring a special or unusual car for a wedding is big part of the “traditional wedding”. A Rolls Royce or a Bentley is among the most common cars that are rented for the big day and normally will come with a driver.

Hiring a venue for the wedding and reception is another part of the wedding that is rented just for the day, Town halls, churches as well as hotels and golf clubs.
