Would you ever rent a designer lehnga?

Re: Would you ever rent a designer lehnga?

I personaly wouldn't rent my wedding lengha, its a centimental item that i'd keep and show my children and grand children and if my daughter or grandaughter wanted to wear it i'd be more than happy for them to have it. I wish my mum had kept here wedding dress so that I could have worn it.

Bu then it would be out of fashion?

I would rather wear a cotton ka suit that was mine than a Bunto Kazmi lengha that I had to rent.

nahh i wouldnt!this day holds a special sentimental value for me..and the dress is an integral part of that..and id want it to be mine only...i think i'll feel really empty after wearing it just for the wedding day and then returning it the next day...something wouldnt feel right!:/

it's funny how guys don't have sentimental value for their wedding attire. Most of them rent tuxes.

Do you men feel the same way about your sherwanis?

Not for my Nikkah outfit (never) but maybe for reception or valima.

Mine doesn’t care at all. The day after the wedding when we were back at the house, while putting away all the clothes (including his sherwani), he asked me if I’d be ok with him listing it on Craigslist or Ebay!

I would like to wear my lengha at atleast once more and then inshahAllah donate it to someone in Pakistan.

I don't think I would have rented one even if the option was available.

I dont think there are places like shops u can rent lehngas from .. but iv heard of places where guys rent suits n stuff .. so there might be a possibility that places like those exist .. spread the word around maybe some ol dulhania wudnt mind sharing it would you?

however … if i were u … dont get into it … only the elite brides spend money on an expensive 5-7 lakhs umer sayeed or bunto or whoever and i dont think theyd be interested in renting it .. and i dont think people would find it a profitable biz if they were to buy an umer sayeed to rent it out ..

get a customized copy made in cheap or DIY - although i dont liek the copy stuff either but its so much better than renting one out ..

If would rent any lehenga not just designer if possible, the only reason I’m spending so long deciding exactly how I want my lehenga is because seeing as I’ll be putting a signiifcant amount of money into it, I might as well get what i pay for. Renting would be so much cheaper.

On a side not, my mum has gotten it into her head she would prefer for me to buy a lengha with a kameez so I can rewear it, but the design in my head is not like that. I think she even told my fiance, today he was telling me how he’d like me to be able to wear my lehenga again and again, I said I don’t want one that i can wear again on someone else’s wedding, he said it was a “complete waste of money”, I said maybe I shouldn’t bother spending so long designing what I want in that case and he said “I don’t know why I bother opening my mouth when all that happens is you behave as if your world is crumbling”

Yes I agree with LP, fashion does repeat also wedding lengha designs don’t really change much, I remember when my aunt got marries back in the 1990’s her lengha was the same cut shape as the ones now in the shops only the work was different.
I would keep my lengha simple but very elegant so if they wanted they could wear it at their Nikkha or even just to look at is enough for me
