The summer wedding season has officially begun.
At Something Borrowed, we're not just a dress rental destination — we strive to be the go-to place for every element of something blue, something borrowed, something new.
Alongside our curated edit of occasion wear, we offer a beautiful selection of brands renowned for gifting, decorations and accessories — the perfect finishing touches for every wedding celebration. From bridal shower styling and hen party décor to thoughtful gifts for bridesmaids-to-be, we work closely with brands we truly value and admire.
Brands We Love
One of those brands is Ginger Ray, known for creating beautifully chic and minimal decorations for every kind of celebration. Their bridal collection is especially lovely, with elegant pieces perfect for bridal showers, hen dos and civil ceremonies.
Another favourite of ours is The Bridal Beauty Co. I (Amelia) have had the loveliest experience getting to know the team and hearing the story behind the brand. I also adore their collaboration with my friend Izzy Utterson on The Glow Up Box — a gorgeous edit filled with hero skincare and makeup products perfect for brides preparing for the big day. Alongside their other beautifully curated gift sets, it offers incredible value and makes such a thoughtful gift for any brides or bridesmaids-to-be.
Try Before You Borrow
Finding the perfect fit is an essential part of the experience. We offer an exclusive try-on service, allowing brides and bridesmaids to feel confident in both the fit and style of their chosen dress. It's a part of our experience we're especially proud of — because feeling your absolute best should never be left to chance.
Summer: Attention to Detail
As summer wedding season arrives, I wanted to share a few things to help on the day. I've been to a few summer weddings where I regretted not thinking ahead — so here are a handful of accessories worth tucking into your bag:
- Umbrellas
- Fans
- Blotting wipes
- Setting powder
- Setting spray
- Heel guards
The Finishing Touch: Now Stocking Orelia Jewellery
Never underestimate the power of jewellery when it comes to finishing an outfit. It doesn't have to be a bold statement — often it's the classic, refined touches that truly elevate a look, enhancing your complexion, bringing a subtle glow and effortlessly pulling an outfit together.
One brand we're especially excited to now be stocking is Orelia Jewellery. Originally founded in Brighton, Orelia was created to fill the gap for high-quality yet affordable jewellery — timeless pieces designed to be worn and loved for years to come. When it comes to weddings, the dress is often the main event, so we always recommend keeping jewellery elegant and understated. For an abroad wedding especially, a sleek gold cuff or subtle statement piece is the ideal finishing touch.
