Rent, Borrow, or Buy - Centerpieces

Joey, on March 11, 2019 at 07:05 Posted in Wedding reception 0 34

Will you rent centerpieces from a decorator or your venue to keep the stress to a minimum? Will you borrow some from someone recently married? Or will you be paying a pro to make some bespoke centerpieces for your tablescapes?

Will you rent, borrow, or buy your centerpieces?

    What is the procedure for this to rent/buy? - centrepiece for the tables and how many do we get?


    Thanks

    Rented since it would not take up space or wait for reselling.

    I am DIYing owns and buying the supplies (which is cheaper than pre-made stuff in my case!). Crafters gotta craft!

    We had very minimal centre pieces so we bought most and were given the wood block underneath.

    We bought everything for our centrepieces because I fell in love with some rustic lanterns that were hard to find, especially 14 of them. Our plan is to keep one for our home after and sell them again and so far a lot of our family wants to buy them from us!
    Buying them allowed us to do whatever we wanted (spray paint) them and really make them fit our vision. Also we didn’t have to worry if someone broke them or took one or worry about getting them packed up and returned on time, etc.

    Been thinking more and more about this leaning towards renting.

    DIY/buy. We're using ruscus, satin fabric and homemade birch votives for a simple but elegant appeal.

    Our venue also provides all of this. So the only thing that I would have to buy is a little bit of greenery if I want to add to it

    We're buying, as they are part of our floral package. We are renting the vases, though. I didn't care to buy them or reuse my sister-in-law's.

    I’m going to buy the centrepieces (they will be real flowers). Luckily, my mom is helping to pay for the flowers.

    Our venue supplies a few candle votives per table and I think all we'll do besides that is buy some artificial greenery off Amazon and maybe add a few more candles. Florals aren't a priority for us besides bouquets so we're hoping to cut a lot of costs there.
