Colo. Store Has Wedding Dresses for Rent

WESTMINSTER, Colo. (MyFOX ATLANTA) - Most wedding dresses are only worn for a couple of hours, yet can cost thousands of dollars. One boutique near Denver is offering a solution for the budget-conscious bride. The store's gowns are for rent.

For every bride, the perfect white dress isn't always the right dress for their budget.

At Bridal Budget Boutique in Westminster, Colorado there is another option. Just like the groom and his groomsmen can rent their tuxedoes, now the bride can also rent her dress.

According to wedding planner Chelsea Willis, the average cost of a wedding gown is around $1,000.

Bridal gowns at the Colorado boutique start at $129. Alterations and cleaning are included in the price of rental and there are also dresses for the entire wedding party.

After the wedding, many brides pack their dress and store it in hopes a daughter will wear it some day. The Colorado boutique will also buy dresses for future brides to rent.
