    I ALWAYS rent my dresses from raw gold rentals! I have rented dresses from them multiple times and have gotten wedding and elopement photography content all over the country! Their website is so easy to navigate and if I have any questions on sizing or fit for my models they are able to answer my questions in a very personal way. They have never been late on shipping, have been very understanding when dresses show a little dirt from the shoot, and make mailing back the dresses soooo easy with very clear instructions. Also every dress is STUNNING, they have a range of sizes, and always feature my work. I never will never work with anyone else for dress rentals!

    I am absolutely obsessed with all of Kylee’s gowns! I have rented from her multiple times. Each time, the gown is sent in wonderful condition. I’ve rented from other gown rentals in the past, and the gowns have been sent dirty/smelly- obviously not taken care of. Kylees are not like that. She truly treasures her gowns and it shows through the quality of their upkeep.Kylee is also a gem. She is so communicative and will always do her best to help. I’ve had photoshoots come up last minute and she always does her absolute best to help make sure I get a gown in time.I will forever continue to rent through her! So grateful to have a company I can trust with town rentals.

    When I first started my wedding photography business I wanted to build and create a beautiful portfolio to show my clients. I started out with styled shoots and my first ever dress rental was from Raw Golden Rentals. I’d seen some of their dresses mentioned on Instagram a few times and the process of renting one was so easy. Kylee and the staff of RGR were always so helpful and the delivery was always quick and on time. I’m IN LOVE with the dress collection RGR has curated over the years and even was able to buy some of their dresses that they would sell when making room for more amazing pieces. Raw Golden Rentals has high quality dresses, amazing customer service, and such an easy process and system for renting that I’ve ever experienced. I tried a few others once or twice but I think I’m spoiled with how easy it is to rent from RGR and the fact that they put correct sizing on the dresses just shows how much care they put into their business. If you’re on the fence about renting from them, don’t be. I guarantee they will become you’re go-to dress rental place just like they became mine.

EXAMPLE OF RENTAL PERIODS
We ship the rentals out anywhere from 3-5 days out before your rental start date.

Day 1: (START DATE) Your items will arrive – It is important that your START date is NOT the day of your event or shoot. Please allow yourself enough time to receive the item/s and prep them for your shoot/event. In some cases - a package may be delayed (due to shipping service delays and in some rare instances due to a rental being returned to late to us. Should that occur we will email you to discuss the situation. - it is best to prepare for any shipping delays.

Day 2: You can try on the rentals with your models to make sure everything is ready to roll!

Day 3: This should be your EVENT or SHOOT date.

Day 4: Start packaging up your items. Be sure ALL item/s are packaged in original box (unless damaged), double tape the box. Please DO NOT clean any of the items - HOWEVER- Please be sure you have gotten out any sticks, grass, etc from the gowns before folding them. If you FAIL to remove sticks or other sharp objects - this can actually damage the item/s. ALL item/s should be shipped USPS PRIORITY ONLY (NOT USPS GROUND). Please do NOT use UPS. PLEASE DO NOT select (SIGNATURE REQUIRED & BE SURE YOU TELL THEM NOT TO ADD THIS ON.)

Please note: You cover your return shipping which can range from $10-60 dependent upon item/s you have rented and depending on if you are shipping the item/s back on a timely manner. We also allow you to select the best and most reasonable options for return shipping. Also in some cases you need the item/s a little longer and opt to rush ship them back.

Insurance is recommended - Please message me if you need help to know how much to insure the gown. A good rule of thumb is $450 for most gowns and $1000-2000 for the Rue De Seines.

Your rental item/s should be delivered to us by the 8th day. Please be sure to email us your tracking number/information.

What happens if your late in return shipping? Should you suspect you may be late - it is best to email us right away. Unfortunately, rentals have very tight turn around times and thus when your package is returned late this sadly puts a strain on another renter. If your order is not received ON the 8th day – you are subject to our late fee penalties.
I'M A BRIDE, CAN I RENT FROM YOU?
My main purpose of this business is for styled shoots. I have rented to brides in the past & it is a very different process. Most brides need to try on a gown prior to their wedding to make sure it fits.

So contact me if you're interested and we can see if we can make it work!

If I find out that a gown was rented for a real bridals/wedding/elopement/event (without authorization) then it is a $1000 minimum charge.

I have released a few gowns that I have designed myself and those will be for sale in the near future. You can always reach out about that!
