Trousso 

These days, weddings are no longer a single event, and brides want to look picture-perfect at each celebration (think bachelorette, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, and afterparty). But it’s agonizing to buy new, expensive outfits you’ll only wear once. Well, have you checked out Trousso? Trousso is the resale platform making upscale bridal fashion financially accessible and environmentally sustainable for the next generation of brides. With Trousso, you can search by wedding event and find designer outfits from brands like Retrofête, Cult Gaia, Jimmy Choo, and Zimmermann. Every transaction on their platform helps one bride earn back money on outfits worn once and taking up space in their closet, while helping another bride access a high-quality ensemble at 20-80% off retail! What’s not to love?

 

After The Tone

Every wedding needs a guest book and why settle for a traditional “book” when you could have something fun, interactive, and something you will truly cherish for the rest of your lives? Introducing After The Tone. They ship you a real vintage rotary phone and record voicemails you want to keep from all of your favorite people.
