How to Rent Wedding Decorations

When you're planning a wedding, time and money is of the essence. You can waste a lot of time and money running all over town searching to buy the perfect flowers, centerpieces, table linens, champagne fountain and other wedding decorations. When you rent wedding decorations instead of buying, you save money and valuable time while still getting the elegant wedding of your dreams.

Instructions

1. Make a detailed list of all the decorations and props you need. Be sure to include chairs, linens tables and other items as well as any pictures showing the style and colors you plan to use.

2. Ask family, friends and coworkers for recommendations for party rental companies they may have used to rent wedding decorations or decorations for similar events. If you have a wedding consultant, ask for recommendations since they usually have extensive contact lists of anything wedding related.

3. Check with your venue when you meet to look at pictures of how the location you choose can be decorated for weddings. Many popular wedding locations provide wedding decorations you can rent as part of a package deal, or offer them at an additional cost.

4. Meet with a few party rental companies to see what they offer and to discuss your decorating needs. When you plan to rent wedding decorations it helps to know exactly what you want to create a customized look for your special day.

5. Stretch your wedding budget by renting wedding decorations that you can pick up, assemble and return yourself to save yourself delivery, setup and return fees.

6. Expect to pay a deposit for the wedding decorations that you rent, along with the rental fee. The deposit will be returned to you after all of the decorations have been returned.

Tips & Warnings

• Be sure to return wedding decorations on time to avoid losing a rental deposit.
