Why Couples Are Using More Decor Rentals For Weddings

Updated: Apr 5

As prices continue to rise, many couples have discovered a hack: spending less on the venue and more on decor rentals for weddings. This gives you more control over the final design, and opens up locations that might otherwise not be possible. Most importantly? It lowers the final bill. 


Additionally, using decor rentals can give you a lot more flexibility to change things up as the logistics of your wedding evolve.

How Important are Decor Rentals For Weddings?


Some venues are extravagantly decorated, However, the large majority of venues understand the need to accommodate many different wedding styles and themes. This means the decor in venues is often somewhat sparse.


Finding a local decor rental company can help bridge the gap between what your venue looks like, and your vision.

Finding What Decor Works With Your Venue


Don’t stress! Finding the right decor for your venue can be a fun process. A good Decor rental company will have designers on staff in addition to technicians.  You can look through a rental catalog to find options you like.


Designers can help you find your decor vision, or find rentals to fit your existing venue & vision. Event decor technicians are highly skilled in completing your decor setup in the time allotted by your venue. Working with a local vendor makes for fewer surprises - finding someone with experience decorating your venue can be helpful.

You can always check out past events for inspiration. Decor rental companies will normally have a venue gallery for many of the spaces they have worked in.


Some venues are already magnificent and just need a small change to help make your event more unique to you.

Complete Venue Transformations For Weddings


Most of the more affordable venues are also blank slates. These venues might be a tent in a backyard, a community center, or a church event space.


This means that you’ll have to hire a wedding decor rental company to help design and set up your decor. The good news is, most decor options are more affordable than the price you’d pay for a fully-decorated venue. 


With all of the decor options available, many couples find they prefer this. You might be surprised how drastically some decor options change your space. With the proper decor, even a room with a drop-down ceiling can be transformed.

Wedding Decor Rental Options


Your best bet is going to be to find one or two wedding vendors that can complete your decor. Normally a decorator & a florist. Hiring a DJ for uplighting can have drawbacks. Your decorator should be able to provide lighting, drapes, decor and other options that help set the vibe of your space.


There's a lot of amazing possibilities to explore when a florist & decorator work together.
