Formal Gown Rental at its finest

Whether it’s a black-tie wedding, a red carpet gala or a corporate awards evening, formal events are exciting—but they also come with a challenge: what to wear. And more importantly, how much should you really spend on an outfit you might only wear once?

This is where formal dress rental steps in as a game-changing solution. Renting a dress has gone from being a last-minute option to a savvy, sustainable, and stylish choice.

At Willow Collective we have a beautiful, curated range of evening gowns for hire. We stock well known designers such as Solace London, Kevan Jon and Nadine Merabi whose formal gowns often come with a hefty price tag.

Advice on what to wear to a formal black tie event

  • Floor-Length Evening Gown: Classic and elegant, typically in dark or neutral tones, but tasteful color is fine too. No patterns but can have detail for example sequins
  • Dressy Heels or Elegant Flats
  • Accessories:
    • Clutch or small evening bag
    • Tasteful jewellery (nothing too flashy)
    • Optional wrap, shawl, or evening gloves

You can browse our evening gowns to hire online or book an appointment to come and try on some styles.
