Pick My Dress: Rehearsal Dinner

Ashleigh's wedding is getting close!  Of course, I already have my attire for the wedding itself so now I'm shopping for the rehearsal dinner dress.  It is cocktail dress attire with the men in golf attire. 

I would like to show you Ashleigh's dress, but it's a secret from her betrothed.  It's definitely a show stopper for sure!  So keeping her dress in mind and the fact that she's the bride and all attention should be on her, I think I want to go with something a little more understated than my usual attire (ahem....Lilly Pulitzer). 

Yes, you heard me.  I'm putting my bright and airy Lilly aside and going with something one-colored.  That doesn't mean that the dress has to be boring or any less classy though, right?  (And okay, I squeezed in one or two Lilly's hear...but I'm thinking the Black Bowen over the Whitaker).

So, has anyone rented from Rent the Runway?  I've been a member for a year now but have never actually rented from them.  I haven't heard about any experiences but know the company is growing like crazy, so I guess they're doing pretty well.  Yesterday, I received an email from Rent the Runway saying I have a $20 credit for being a member for over a year.  Perfect!  I can rent a fabulous (and normally very expensive) dress for pennies on the dollar!  All the ones I'm showing below rent for $50.00.

Here are some of the dresses I'm considering.  I have my favorites and the ones I think most appropriate.  But I'm curiou, what do y'all think?  And of course, I'm most curious about Ashleigh's opinion!  :-)

Milly Sail Away Dress
Nanette Lepore Daisy Lace Dress

Kate Spade Andora Dress
Lilly Pulitzer Whitaker Dress
Lilly Pulitzer Black Bowen Dress
Nicole Miller Wall Street Woman Dress

Kate Spade Aubrey Wrap Dress

I can't wait to hear what y'all think both about the dresses and about Rent the Runway! 

Happy Thursday Y'all!
