The Benefits Of Renting Rather Than Buying What You Need For Your Dream Wedding

How many brides do you know that gather decor items for a year or more to match their theme only to try and resell them on the internet for a fraction of the price they paid for them? For months or years, their basement or garage is filled with wedding items in a color or theme that has passed by. Event planners, florists, and many venues have an alternative for today’s brides – Rental Decor.

From large furniture to staged lounge areas, to vintage trailers as photo booths, to the latest trends in wedding decor, down to the smallest details, it can all be rented for a fraction of the retail price of the items. We can’t help but mention the benefits of recycling items; it just makes us feel good to know that in a small way we are helping the environment.

One of the hottest trends in weddings is the use of Vintage and Rustic Decor. There are many rental companies that specialize in vintage decor and have scoured flea markets, auction houses, estate sales for just the right decor items to bring that vintage feel to your event. On the other end of the spectrum, many rental companies offer the latest in wedding trends. These companies have done all the hard work for you and can save you valuable time. Time – as all brides to be know all too well – sneaks by all too quickly when planning for their big day.

Rent the Decor, Spend the Money on Styling Your Wedding

So your Pinterest board is filled with those amazing images that make you dream of your perfect day. The harsh reality is that most of those images have been created by talented event planners, florists, and photographers. Only 15% of the population has the ability to visualize and create such beauty.  When you rent your decor items you will have money in the budget to spend on styling your event with a professional so that your dreams can become a reality. Stylists have the eye for details, color theory, and spatial recognition and have studied the latest trends. They also have experience and contacts that can help you negotiate your way through the months leading up to your big day.
