Decor rent or buy

I did rent décor for the most part cutting down the costs majorly and avoiding space for later to fill up.

The items rented were backdrop, money box, centerpieces and floral balls. It turned out amazing and simple to send back.

I know for a fact I was looking at prices if to purchase, it was double to triple the price for the same kind of idea.

The idea of giving away may be different to purchase and not keeping it after the event. Guests will be happy to take it home if they want.

I think it depends on what you are looking to rent/buy and the pricing for both. If it is cheaper to buy it, and you will use it later, then buy it. But if it is going to collect dust, I would just rent.

Our venue does a lot of the decor for us, so we just use what they have. I am providing my own seating chart, and some other decor items, but I will use them later!

I've been doing this too! Those Buy and Sell groups are awesome! planning to sell all after the wedding. So I'm actually looking for more "sell-able" items

A lot of the bigger items (tables, chairs, linens, silverware, tableware, bar-ware, etc) are provided by our venue, so we're technically renting them I guess. We are also renting up-lighting from our DJ company. Everything else (centerpieces, signage) is DIY'd so had to buy the supplies!

We rented everything!! it was the best decision we made! I know sooo many people buy everything so cheap but then have no idea what to do with it all after - or cant resell it and it just sits in the basement and gets dusty. I would 100% recommend renting

I bought some of mine because could get cheaper from facebook wedding swap sites and some I rented because easier and they would set it up for me. I would compare pricing and see what is the best deals
