Dress FAQs

Please read through our FAQs, they may answer any questions about your dress rental.

How many days can I rent a dress for?

How do rental dates work?

You will choose the start to end date of your dress rental.  Light Hero Studios will send your dress to arrive prior to the first day of booking.  Dress rentals must be made at least 7 days in advance and we highly recommend that you add one buffer day between the start of the booking and the day of your photoshoot or event in the event of a delay.  Dresses must be shipped back before the end of the day of your last booking.

What is your cancellation policy?

If cancelled 14+ days prior to the start date of your rental, you receive a store credit for the same dollar amount that can be used toward another rental.  This credit must be used within 120 days.  Cancellations 13 days or less from your start date will not receive any kind of refund.  All refunds will only be given in the form of store credit without exception.

Why are Sundays blocked?

Sundays may be included as part of the rental period, however the rental may not start or end on a Sunday as the shipping services do not operate on Sunday.

Shipping is $25 and this rate includes shipping to you AND a prepaid shipping label back to Light Hero Studios.

My photoshoot was postponed due to bad weather.  Can I keep the dress for longer?

By all means, reach out to me to check availability.  If it's not booked for a shoot immediately after your own, it is possible we can do a day extension.  If it is rescheduled for another week or more, you will have to rebook the dress -provided the availability- and pay a new rental fee.
