Everything You Need to Know About Renting a Prom Tuxedo or Suit

Several years ago, Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo created a blog called The Ultimate Guide to Renting a Tuxedo or Suit for Prom.

Parents in the Philadelphia region have told us that this blog was such a useful guide because they had never been through the process of finding a prom suit or tuxedo rental for their child. In addition, those who have older children who have attended prom already have also told us that this guide has provided a refresher on how the tuxedo and suit rental process works.

Updates to the Blog

Because this has been such a useful blog, we update it every year for changing trends, procedures and pricing.

In this blog and the podcast, Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo provides a comprehensive guide to renting suits and tuxedos for prom, aimed at parents and students navigating the process for the first time.

It covers the basics of tuxedo/suit rentals, including the various components and the differences between dressing for junior versus senior prom, recommending suits for junior prom and tuxedos for senior prom. The article addresses cost considerations, debunking the myth that tuxedos are always more expensive than suits and offering advice on budgeting.

Additionally, it details the rental process, from booking early and matching accessories to pick-up, returns, and potential extra costs. Finally, the guide emphasizes the importance of choosing a reputable local shop with a wide selection and experienced staff, while also noting things like store hours, parking, and latest trends to consider.

Wedding Dress Sample Sales

Most bridal stores purchase new wedding dresses every year. Many designers come out with new designs twice a year and brides really want to see what is new.

At Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo, we need to make room for the new designs and new inventory. While we have a large store with an impressive selection of wedding dresses, we like to keep our inventory fresh and our designs up-to-date. Throughout the year, our Philadelphia-area bridal and tuxedo store holds sample sales. We go one step further and have a continuously updated collection of discounted wedding dresses that can be purchased off the rack from what we called our Sample Closet.

So what are sample sales and how can brides take advantage of them? In our blog, Designer Wedding Gown Sample Sales: What are They?, we dive deep into this area of wedding dress shopping.

In The Darianna® Diaries podcast, we dive even deeper and talk all about samples sales and strategies for brides to pick up a designer bridal gown at a discounted price.

Take a listen and see if this information can help you with your wedding dress shopping journey.

Colorful Wedding Dresses: A Modern Bride's Guide

Long gone are the days when every wedding dress is white. If fact, you will be surprised to learn that most wedding dresses are not white at all.

Darianna® Bridal & Tuxedo has over 300 different wedding dress samples in its store and less than 5 are all white. While our wedding dress designers allow you to order most of their dresses in white, samples tend to be ivory, off-white, champagne and mocha.

In our blog called Embrace Color In Your Wedding Dress: Beyond The White, we dive into different colors available for bridal gowns. We even go into some unconventional colors.

And if some color in your wedding dress is not your thing, we go into detail about how to add color with accessories and embellishments.

So take a listen to this podcast and experiment with color to make your wedding day uniquely your own!
