"We were initially inspired by the Rent The Runway business model. We saw so much value in being able to rent a high price tag item for a fraction of the cost, use it then return it for it to be used again," says Lauren Bercier, co-founder and CEO of Something Borrowed Blooms.
The flowers are sourced from the highest quality silk flower wholesalers around the world. The company's owners recently returned from Market, where they got inspiration for new arrangements!
Bouquets can also be rented for bridal portraits.

If you decide you love your bridal bouquet too much to return it, you have the option to purchase and keep it, and it's still a savings over a real bridal bouquet. Plus, it'll look perfect for years.
Fun fact, Lauren's personal favorite collection is the Charlotte. "It's just so pretty & happy!" she says.
