5 Essential items You Can Rent on your Wedding Day to Save you Money

There are some things for your wedding day that you are better off making a straight investment in. The food on the plate can’t be returned, and the perfect staff is irreplaceable (Sorry, shameless plug!), but there are other items you can rent that will save you so much time and money in the process. ​

Furniture
Unless your theme is highlighting Korean floor culture (which is totally on the rise), then furniture is necessary for any event. Renting can save you thousands of dollars and also a lot of time by going to a company that specializes in creating these beautiful displays.

Florals
Florals are one decoration that any wedding cannot go without, and unfortunately, renting is scarcely an option for this unless your flowers are fake and can be rented. A bonus to buying the flowers is that you can dry and keep them as mementos, and pass them off to your guests as a parting gift. However, the vases and decor that the flowers come in can be rented. Save hundreds by paying for the flower itself and not spending as much on the arrangement or vases.

Table Linens and Decor
Many venues or furniture companies will include table linens. Even if the lines aren’t your favorite color or style, you can totally dress them up and style them your way with the right table decor. Plus, you won’t have to wash them at the end of the night which will save you more time, washing, and storing. A lot of table decor is a source of wasted money because it will not last after the evening is spent. Unless you want custom designs, you can rent table decor for a beautiful place setting without breaking the bank.

Diamonds
It may sound unusual, but you can rent your jewelry including diamonds for your wedding. Other than that perfect engagement ring to last forever, other earrings and large necklaces will only be worn once. Sites like William and Henri allow you to rent jewelry (yes, even rings!) so you can be as elaborate as possible without breaking the bank.

Wedding Dress
Long gone are the days where men get to rent their suit and women have to spend 10’s of thousands of dollars buying their dress. Granted, a wedding dress is a very special gown that most women keep and even pass down as an heirloom, but as trends change and your daughter may not want to literally follow in your footsteps. You many consider renting your gown. Wedding sites such as Rent the Runway and Borrowing Magnolia allow you to have your dream dress at a dream price!
