2 weeks ago we attended the Aids Resources Center of Wisconsin's Make a Promise fundraiser.  The event is black tie. This was our second year going, so I knew I would need to buy a new dress.  That is...until my friend Sara told me about "Rent the Runway".  I had never heard of it. Rent the Runway It's a website with thousands of dresses - summer maxi dresses all the way to formal gowns.  They don't technically have wedding dresses, but depending on your style, I suppose you might find something you could wear to your wedding.
