DIY vs. Renting Decor: Making the Right Choice for You

Let’s be honest: Planning a wedding involves countless decisions, and one of the major considerations is whether to DIY or rent the decor. While both options have their perks, this discussion will focus on the advantages of renting your wedding decor. We are firm believers here at Your Perfect Day that renting your decor is the best decision for your peace of mind, and a lot more cost effective. Let’s explore why renting can be a smart choice for couples looking to create a memorable and stress-free wedding experience.

Before we go into the discussion, we wanted to mention that Your Perfect Day has over 5,000 pieces of decor in our inventory. Visit our decor page below to explore some of the items that we have. Please note: our inventory is constantly updating, and we add new items every single week. We always say scheduling an appointment to visit our decor showroom is the best way to view all that we have to offer. 

Now, why should you rent your decor? Renting decor opens up a world of possibilities. Rental companies like ourselves offer an extensive range of decor items, from elegant centerpieces to stylish furniture and lighting options. This variety allows you to choose pieces that perfectly match your wedding theme and vision. With renting, you can easily adapt your decor choices as your plans evolve, ensuring a cohesive and visually stunning wedding aesthetic. When you purchase your decor, if your vision changes, you’re now stuck with decor items that you most likely cannot return back to the store. 

Weddings can be expensive, and buying all the necessary decor items can quickly add up. Renting decor provides a cost-effective alternative. Most of our clients only spend $400 max on their decor from us, if not less. Rental companies often offer packages or bundle deals, allowing you to access multiple items at a fraction of the cost of purchasing them outright. By renting, you can allocate your budget to other important aspects of your wedding, such as catering or entertainment, without compromising on style and elegance.

Planning a wedding involves numerous tasks, and DIY decor can be time-consuming and stressful. Renting decor eliminates the need for sourcing, purchasing, and storing various items. Your Perfect Day handles the delivery, setup, and teardown of the decor, saving you valuable time and energy. This convenience allows you to focus on other important parts of your wedding planning journey, such as finalizing the guest list or selecting the perfect wedding dress.

Renting decor ensures that you have access to high-quality, well-maintained items. With our Decor Buy back program, we regularly update and refresh our collection to meet the latest trends and standards. By renting, you can showcase professional-grade decor that will impress your guests and create a visually stunning atmosphere. Additionally, we always provide support and guidance throughout the process, helping you choose the right pieces that align with your vision and venue.

In today’s world, sustainability is an important factor to consider. We believe renting decor promotes eco-friendly practices by reducing waste. With over 400 lbs of waste created at every event, every effort helps when it comes to reducing that figure. By opting for rental items, you contribute to the circular economy, as these items are reused and enjoyed by other couples. Our items generally have a life of about 15 weddings before we need to retire the items due to wear and tear. Truly, renting your decor allows you to minimize your environmental footprint while still maximizing the wedding of your dreams.

While DIY decor can be a rewarding and personal experience, renting your wedding decor offers numerous advantages that are worth considering. From the wide variety of options and cost-effectiveness to the convenience and professional quality, renting allows you to create a visually stunning wedding while reducing stress and saving time. Moreover, it aligns with sustainable practices, making it a responsible choice for couples who care about the environment. So, if you’re looking for a hassle-free and stylish wedding decor solution, renting may just be the perfect choice for you.
