For the fashionista bride…

If there’s one time in your life where you need a lot of nice pieces of clothing, it’s during wedding season, when you’re the bride-to-be. There are so many occasions where you need to find that perfect dress or outfit, such as your shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, and post-wedding brunch. So, for the bride-to-be who loves to shop, but doesn’t have the time with all of the wedding-planning activities she has lined up, order her a gift card to Rent the Runway, where she can choose to rent designer outfits whenever she needs them!
