Wedding Planning 101: Happily Ever Borrowed

The absolutely stunning Carrie B necklace!

As we all know, weddings are a huge expense so as a bride, I am always looking for places to save money. Of course, no expense can be spared on certain items, but there are some things, like bridal accessories and jewelry, where I feel like $400 for a veil that I will wear for 1 hour just seems atrocious. Enter the amazing company Happily Ever Borrowed.

Happily Ever Borrowed is an e-commerce boutique that rents bridal accessories to brides for their big day. How it works is that you get to choose three items as part of a "send before you spend" box which allows you to try on the accessories at one of your fittings. Let me tell you, this is a godsend. It's so hard to know what will actually look good with your dress, that you must try everything on together. It's so helpful! If you like one of the items, you are able to rent it for five days for your wedding and you get $25 off your rental. How sweet is that?!

While I don't want to give away which of the Happily Ever Borrowed items I'll be rocking on my big day, I will say that the following were some of my favorites:

Boucheron II Bracelet

Sophie Belt, Headband or Necklace

Eloise Crystal Clutch
