RENTING YOUR DESIGN

date posted: March 11, 2020

How do you turn a venue that has hosted many a wedding into a wonderland that’s uniquely you for the day? Rentals are the answer. Furnishings, signage, tapestries, barware, vases, antiques...rental companies collect hoards of unbelievably cool stuff so you don’t have to. You can find everything from vintage to high-tech..

spaces you can create with rentals :

• Conversation pit or lounge area within the reception

• Games area

• Layers and drapes: silk, satin, leather, corduroy, or burlap in all kinds of functional and decorative spots, in a rainbow of colors if you like.

• Unique photo opportunities and backdrops. You can rent an actual photo booth or set up one or more selfie stations and photo nooks.

• Time warps, with vintage or reproduction period pieces. Speakeasy anyone? Disco club? Royal chamber?

 

Your lighting will affect the look of everything else, both by casting a glow and setting the mood.

Lighting is a key component of rentals, offering vast possibilities. Your lighting will affect the look of everything else, both by casting a glow and setting the mood.

• Lighting comes in so many shapes and forms! Mix and match hanging pendants of various shapes, pole lamps, chandeliers, wall sconces, strings of fairy lights….

• Most of those can be paired with bulbs of various colors and degrees of brightness to set the tone and mood you want. Reds and golds? Spotlights in strategic places? Flickering flameless candles?

• Neon signs can be rented these days. They can also be crafted to say just about anything you want.

3D projection mapping can cast high-resolution images anywhere, against any backdrop. If you want to bring the outdoors indoors, think of projecting flowers and trees across the walls and ceiling. Software can program it to change form, intensity, or color, or to include an interactive touch screen. You and your loved ones will be mesmerized.

rental checklist

Anything your venue or caterer doesn’t supply, you’ll want to rent. Never fear. With rental companies helping, a wedding can be put together anywhere, any way you like.

Tip: Round your numbers up— better to have a few extra chairs or a tent or dance floor that’s a bit too big, rather than too few or too small.

Indoor/Outdoor:

Tables Chairs Tableware Glasses Linens Centerpieces Coolers Lighting Sound system

Outdoor:

Tents Generator Dance floor Restrooms

just for the fun of it:

Photo booth Popcorn or cotton candy machine Bouncy house Ice cream truck Art and accent pieces Comfy couch, lounge chairs, and cushions for a conversation spot
