Our Story, by Alyson


 Whilst I was planning my own wedding, I was fortunate enough to buy my own wedding dress. The dream dress added to my special day, but it now lives in a box and is only appreciated through photographs and fond memories. 
I realised I could help brides that couldn’t buy their own dress or those who, for storage or other reasons, didn’t wish to buy their own wedding dress, still experience a beautiful wedding. Something Borrowed Bridal, our bridal gown rental company in Basildon was born, and now boasts a range of beautiful designer wedding dresses for hire at affordable prices.

A Designer Wedding Dress For Hire, For Less


 We stock beautiful wedding dresses by noted designers Maggie Sottero including Sottero & Midgley and Rebecca Ingram, Essense of Australia, Stella York, Morilee, Justin Alexander, and Ronald Joyce. 
Our dresses are available for a week’s rental and our prices include the cost of dry-cleaning, however a longer rental period is available for an extra cost for destination weddings or a second wedding reception party. 
All we ask is that you return the dress to us in good condition so that we may dry-clean it and prepare it for the next bride-to-be.

BROWSE OUR COLLECTION

Affordable Dresses and Availability


 Purchasing and ordering a bridal gown often needs to be done 6 – 9 months before the wedding, but with wedding dress hire in Essex you could reserve and collect your dress in as little as a week. 
We’ll advise you on which are our most popular dresses, which may therefore need to be reserved at least 3 months in advance, though this is still a fraction of the time that would otherwise be needed.
