To Rent or Not to Rent: Wedding Edition

Let’s face it — when it comes to weddings, one of life’s biggest moments, there are several things to prepare. Ask any couple about their big day, and eventually, they’ll bring up something about the cost of their wedding. From the list of things that they had to buy to the services that they had to engage, having a wedding is not a cheap affair. With most couples frequently going over their budget and sustainability becoming a huge trend amongst soon-to-be-wedded couples, there are more vendors popping up who are able to loan out some stylish finds to help couples create a magical event. But that is not to say that everything should be rented just to shave off a couple of hundred dollars. So, what should you rent and what should you actually purchase for your wedding day? The Interior Collections has you covered with this blog. 

4 Things Worth Buying for Your Wedding

There is no doubt that renting allows you to save money, but there are still several items that you may need to purchase to make your wedding day perfect. Since there are so many things to consider, it is important to carefully weigh your options to better decide what is best for you. Here are four things worth buying as they hold sentimental value or can make your ceremony more unique.

1. Wedding Dress and Suit

When it comes to the wedding gown and suit for the bride and groom, getting the perfect fit can make a world of a difference. And more often than not, couples tend to purchase their wedding attire since they’ll have more freedom in terms of modifications and alterations. While renting can be a great option for those attending a wedding as a guest or for events surrounding the wedding, such as the ROM ceremony, the wedding gown and suit are two of the most important things you’ll need for your big day. As such, you can rest assured that this is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase that you’ll not regret.

2. Wedding Jewellery and Accessories

It is common for wedding jewellery to be passed down from one family member to another. While heirlooms make great accessories, important pieces like the wedding ring clearly should be purchased. Not only can these so-called “accessories” be worn on other occasions but they are also frequently custom-made to fit you and symbolise your relationship. More than capable of serving as a special reminder of your big day, this is something that we recommend purchasing and keeping for the years to come. 

3. Wedding Cake

Besides your wedding dress and suit, your wedding cake is another important thing you’ll need to check off your wedding checklist. Believe it or not, it is quite common for some budget-conscious couples to opt for dummy wedding cakes just for wedding photographs. Although these “fake cakes” come in all kinds of designs that look exactly like the real deal, if you’re all for serving some drool-worthy cake slices to your guests, getting a real cake is the way to go.

4. Wedding Hand Bouquet

You’ve probably seen it all, the bride tossing her bouquet over her shoulders and into a group of women or holding a magnificent hand bouquet as she walks down the aisle on her wedding day. Whatever it may be, the wedding hand bouquet plays a special role in every couple’s wedding. Moreover, you can also press them and keep them preserved — capturing your long-lasting love and memories forever. 

4 Things Worth Renting for Your Wedding

As much as many things are better purchased for your wedding, some items may practicality be tossed aside or thrown out after the wedding. This is where renting comes into the picture as they are an effective way to transform a traditional affair into a chic celebration that complements your wedding’s overall aesthetic. Consider these four items that we think are worth renting and give a whole new meaning to the phrase “something borrowed.”

1. Tables and Chairs

From the cocktail hour to the reception, there are many periods in a wedding where tables and chairs are necessary. With so many different types of chairs and tables available, navigating through all the choices on top of deciding on an ideal seating assignment can be stressful. Avoid the hassle of having to buy or search for tables and chairs for your big day and simply work with your venue coordinator or rental companies to have this aspect of your wedding settled. If you would like your chairs and tables to be beautifully decorated, we at The Interior Collections offer Couple Chair Decoration Services and Table Flower Arrangement Services that are designed to make a statement.

2. Dinnerware, Flatware, and Glassware

No one wants to be stuck with a collection of plates that they probably do not need. While it is true that glassware can make a statement and having China at the dinner table is indeed stylish and unique, it is best to check with your venue on whether these are included in your wedding package. Who knows, you might be able to choose from a wide variety of dishware to match your wedding theme, all delivered clean and ready-to-use, and of course, at a price more affordable than buying them on your own. 

3. Linens, Napkins, and Table Runners

Adding a touch of luxury to your wedding tables can be a breeze with linens and napkins. Whether you choose a simple white table runner or something more colourful, your guests will surely appreciate the extra attention to detail. If you are ready to deck out the most beautiful landscape, you’ll be glad to know that most linens, napkins, and table runners can be rented. Some couples may choose to buy them but think about the time needed to buy, prepare, transport, and clean them! Given the hassle that comes with preparing them, getting your linens rented will take a weight off your shoulders.

4. Wedding Props

Lastly, you can definitely create a magical mood with rented props like fairy lights, candles, and candle holders. You can also rent signages to personalise your wedding space and make it truly unique. And this is exactly what you will find at The Interior Collections.
