Wedding Blog
While reading one of my daily wedding blogs, Southern Weddings, I came across the most beautiful jewelry ever:
Images from Avelle
I’m thinking this has to be so expensive, but I took a closer look. Turns out, the jewelry is from this website called Avelle and you can BORROW stuff.
How perfect! I seriously had no idea what I would do for my something borrowed, and now I potentially have it figured out. Yay!! As you might imagine, borrow is a euphemism for rent, but they were smart over at that website to say “borrow” instead. Now people like me will go there to get stuff for their weddings. Also, they have an entire category dedicated to items like the ones the characters from Sex and the City wore. I’m sold.
Have you had any experience with online “borrowing” or rental? Which piece of jewelery from the collage above do you like best?

Share this post: Something Borrowed
I haven’t borrowed anything online, but I think this is a great idea. What a cool way to get fantastic jewelery AND to fulfill your “something borrowed”. I totally love that rose cocktail ring!
no experience renting here - i looked into it and what I wanted was still $1,000 to rent - no thanks!!
Although now I am DROOLING over each and every item from that post! Gorgeous!
Gah–all are gorgeous! I really like the gold and green earrings in the bottom row.
Very fun!!! It’s like the website from Sex and the City Movie, http://www.bagborroworsteal.com They also have jewelry you can borrow on there as well. Let us know what you come up with.
Those pieces are gorgeous! What a cute twist on something borrowed 
What a neat idea! I haven’t ever borrowed or rented from a website but that is definitely a very creative way to check off the “something borrowed” as well as save $!
I saw something similar on theknot as well, they had a giveaway from Adorn; unfortunately, I didn’t win, but I definitely was intrigued at the concept:

Thanks for sharing!
I also love the idea of using this as your something borrowed. Very orginial! And beautiful too!
I’ve done bags from Bag Borrow or Steal but never jewlery… definately something I at one point considered for the wedding. But about a month ago one of my good friend got married and she informed me that all of her AMAZING jewelery her jeweler for their wedding rings let her borrow! What a fabulous idea, I sent an email to my jeweler that designed my ring and he said he would see some items he could put together for me to come look at before the wedding! So I’m really excited about that, having a bunch of diamonds… it will be like the celebs do for the Oscars! lol

@Soon2BeeMrsLewis: Wow! I’m totally jealous! I didn’t even think about that. What a great idea!
I did this for our wedding, it’s awesomeness! I even wrote a post about it.
i love a great cocktail ring. the pink flower ring on the bottom right is my fave
Another site I have found where you can buy new to gently used items is http://www.BravoBride.com they have everything from Dresses to shoes to jewelry.
those diamond rose earrings on the upper right hand corner are gorgeous!! i wonder where i can score me a pair to purchase…
alright, seeing as how they’re $5500, maybe i can find some knock-offs/replicas, haha!
this is an amazing idea!! I have no “borrow” item yet!! could this be it?

About Me: I was born and raised in Texas, and have lived in several of the cities across the state, but I currently reside in Austin. I went to college in Boston and have a special place in my heart for the Northeast. I love reading, shopping, wine, reuniting with college friends that are scattered across the country, reality TV, trying out new recipes, and attempting all the DIY projects that come along with wedding planning. I'm a "bleeding heart, save the world type" and thankfully my job allows me to work on legislation and policy to help out those in need. I met Mr. Frozen Yogurt in a bar, though he doesn't even drink! And now we are planning a modern yet vintage wedding in Dallas while dealing with the trials and tribulations of first time homeownership.
