Rent vs Buy Wedding Edition

Marriage is one of the 3 moments in our life when no expenses are spared.

Guess the other 2?

One of the main expenses during a wedding is designer clothes which we wear for a grand total of 1 time in our life but spend lakhs.

Don't tell me you will wear it again at someone else's wedding. You *might* wear it once, but will eventually grow out of it and want to buy something new.

Also, your friends will remember your older outfit and ridicule you for wearing the same thing again.

I know..we live in a sh!tty world.

So, what did I do?

I was recently invited to my friend @simranbalarjain wedding. Now this was an influencer wedding. I can't show up in shirt and jeans and straight away head to the buffet counter like how I used to when I was a kid. I had to bring my A game but I didn’t want to spend lakhs on something that I would be wearing only once.

To make matters worse there were 6-7 events and Simran had suggested a unique outfit for each one of them. Ya right? 😒

But she also suggested this rental place called Flyrobe (don’t worry, I didn’t get paid for this) where I could rent the clothes from.

Life saver. I spent only INR 6000 for 3 outfits which probably costed 1.3 lakhs MRP.

If you're a woman you might also need to get jewellery.

Now jewellery as you already know is a waste of investment coz of the making charges. There are now companies like Rentjewels and Eves24 that allow you rent jewellery for 3-5% of MRP. (Again - I didn’t get paid for this)

Please suggest other wedding outfit rental places for the benefit of others! I’ll be looking at the comment section closely.
