How to get the most out of your wedding rentals!

1/9/2023

0 Comments

 
All wedding designs and ideas start without a real budget in mind - I think  we can all agree on that.  The hard truth is that a budget puts a lot into perspective.  Can you really rent that much for your wedding?  Or can you rent a few key pieces that you can use different ways throughout your day to get the BIG bang for your buck!

The big idea: We want a love seat for our wedding portraits and family portraits.  But wait, we also need a love seat for the photo booth....oh, and a really cool seating option for our head table. 
The reality: As nice as it might be for me to rent you 3 different love seats - that is just NOT necessary!

What about that gorgeous arch you rented for your ceremony?
Don't just walk away from it...have it brought to your head table as a lovely backdrop...and then put in place as the back drop for you photo booth at reception.  Another idea - frame out your custom cocktail bar or dessert table.  Now there is a way to reuse something!

We are here to help you make great decisions on not only your design ideas, but your rental order.  We've been helping couples create their dream designs for almost 10 years, so we have a few tricks up our sleeves for helping make that budget work for you.
