How Renting With Aayka Actually Works
Try it on first, if you're local
Book a showroom appointment at 45 W 34th Street, Suite 911, to browse and try on available rental pieces in person. Our team can also help you with sizing and finding the right look for your event.
The rental window
Our standard rental period is 7 days, with an extended 12-day rental option available if you need your outfit for longer. Choose your rental dates when booking your piece, and contact our team if you have any questions about timing or availability.
Not in NYC?
You're still covered. Our rental collection ships throughout the U.S., so you don't have to be in NYC to rent from Aayka. We recommend booking ahead, especially during busy wedding seasons, to make sure the style and size you want are available.

No cleaning required
Every rental gets professionally dry-cleaned on return, just repack it the way it arrived.
What's in This Collection
Lehengas: the largest category here, and the most rented piece overall. A fitted or flared skirt, blouse, and dupatta set that shifts formality depending on color and embellishment, from a mehndi lehenga in pastel tones to a heavily worked sangeet or wedding ceremony piece.
Saris: draped rather than tailored, so sizing is more forgiving. A solid pick for anyone booking a rental Indian dress remotely without a fitting.
Sharara and semi-formal sets: flared pants with a fitted top, generally lighter and easier to move in, which makes them a common choice for daytime functions or a sangeet where dancing is involved.
Jewelry: Complete your look with rental jewelry, including statement pieces that can be paired with lehengas, sarees, and other South Asian outfits.
Our collection includes styles that can work across Indian, Pakistani, and other South Asian wedding celebrations, depending on the event and dress code.
Matching the Outfit to the Event
South Asian weddings usually span several events, not one, and each has its own dress code:
Haldi: casual, daytime, turmeric-based. Yellow is traditional. Skip your most expensive rental here; the paste stains.
Mehndi: the henna night. Brighter, lighter fabrics (greens, pinks, oranges) since guests are often seated for hours.
Sangeet: the dance night, and the event where a sequined or mirror-work lehenga earns its rental fee.
Ceremony: Choose a more traditional or formal look, such as an embellished lehenga or saree.
Reception: One of the most flexible events when it comes to style, from a classic saree or lehenga to a more contemporary Indo-Western look
If you're looking for an Indian wedding guest dress rental for a specific night rather than the whole weekend, start from the event, not the outfit. It narrows the collection fast.
Getting the Fit Right Without a Fitting
South Asian sizing runs differently from US sizing, which can vary by designer and silhouette, so a few habits help:
-
Measure against the product's size chart rather than assuming your usual size.
-
If you're between sizes, size up. A blouse or bodice is easier for a tailor to take in than let out.
-
Try the outfit on the moment it arrives, with the shoes you plan to wear.
