Wedding Decision: Jewelry, Rent vs Buy

Did you even know that you could rent your wedding jewelry? Yeah, me either.  I mean, I knew that you could rent all your wedding attire from places like Rent the Runway. But DIAMONDS? Yes please.  Give me all the earrings, bracelets and necklace's.  Bring.the.Bling. In this episode Lauren and I talk about why you should consider renting vs buying costume  or real jewelry.   One of the biggest reasons is that because its your wedding day and if ever you're going to want to drip in diamonds and its actually very acceptable to, its this one day.  However your spending plan may be saying, "Yeah, $26,000 in fabulous jewlery isn't fitting on this line item.  Imagine the opportunity to be like a celebrity on the red carpet and wear 40 carats in diamonds. I am just seeing all the times the lighting hits your wrist, neck and ears and that your photographer and videographer will catch. If you have any questions about renting jewelry, check out this FAQ.
