5 Reasons to Rent Your Wedding Decor

When it comes to planning the decor for your wedding day, you have the choice of renting or buying the decor. Maybe we're biased, but we think that there are so many reasons to rent decor vs. buying for your big day... here are 5 of them!

1) Maximize your wedding budget

Paying retail prices for wedding decor can add up so quickly... and take away from other categories that you could be spending your funds on. Most rental companies don't charge retail prices for decor, because they rent items out multiple times to make their money back. By renting your decor, you'll be saving money to make your event look lovely!

Rental Tip:

Want to maximize the use of your rental pieces even more? Talk to your wedding planner or coordinator about possibly reusing your rentals throughout the event! For example, it may be possibly to reuse some of your ceremony decor at the reception.

2) Have someone else do the work for you

I've been in the event rental industry for about 2 years now and let me tell you - it is a lot of working cleaning, storing, transporting, and maintaining everything! When you rent your decor, someone else is taking care of all of that for you! You get everything for your event when you need it, and removed after. If you need help setting up any of the rented items, many companies also offer an option to set up as well, and specialty decor companies (like us!), will offer styling services as well!

3) Make your event more sustainable

Have you heard of having a green wedding? Making events greener is such a passion of mine, and renting your decor is a great way to do that! When you buy single-use items for your event, they might end up in the trash if there isn't a use for them after the event; when you rent your items, you cut down on waste because you know they'll be used again. If you rent from a vintage decor company, there's also a chance that you are renting items that have been refurbished and saved from the landfill. What a great feeling!

4) Create a unique look for your day

You can create a unique look for your wedding day with rentals by combining different pieces to enhance the theme of your event. Vintage rentals companies that collect vintage items may not have enough of a single item, but by combining the different shapes and styles of decor, your event will look so lovely and one of a kind.

5) Get design help

Along with your wedding planner, a rental company can also provide some design help! They can provide insight on items to tie the look of your event together, suggest specific items, suggest placement of items, and might even have access to hard-to-find rental pieces.

For a lot of people, their wedding is one of the most important things that will ever happen in their lives. Many of them even splurge for the perfect dream wedding, spending lots for decorations, which is why it could be a good idea for you to be in that kind of business. If you do plan on getting in this business, here are some reasons why you should buy wholesale:

Save Money

Buying wholesale can save you a lot of money. If you’re a startup, you won’t have to raise or loan a huge amount of money to buy the wedding decorations you’ll be selling. You can look for wholesale sellers where you can get your goods for less the price than buying in stores.

WeddingMart has a wide variety of wedding supplies that your customers may be looking for on their special day. There are wedding arches, artificial flowers, chair covers, LED lights, and so much more.

Sometimes, wholesale sellers offer special prices for those who buy in bulk. If you purchase a certain quantity, you might even get added products or a discount. You can stay within your wedding decoration budget or maybe spend less on filling your supplies.

Save on Shipping Costs

Many sellers offer delivery discounts when their customers buy products that reach a certain amount. If you find the right wholesale seller, you might save on shipping if they offer discounts, or even free deliveries when you buy in bulk. If they don’t offer discounts, then you might as well purchase wholesale, so you only spend one time instead of multiple shipping costs.

Less Frequent Purchase of Goods

Running a business is a lot of work. As a wedding decoration seller, you’ll need to have a stock of your goods always for when someone might need to purchase. It’ll save you from going back and forth from your supplier or from having to frequently buy online and wait for days until you receive it.

If you buy wholesale, you’ll have plenty in your storage for the needs of your customers. Artificial flower supplies are one of the things you may want to stock up on because those are never missing from weddings, and since fresh flowers can wither, you can’t store them for weeks or months.

Offer Your Customers With Affordable Prices

When people start planning for their wedding, one of their primary concerns is their budget. Weddings can be costly. Most couples try to be as resourceful as possible, finding ways to make it their dream wedding even if they’re on a budget. If they find a store that sells what they need, they’ll put it into consideration and try to look for something that offers the same but at a lower price.

As a business, you can expect that you have competitors. If you sell the same products, then it’ll go down to the differences in your prices. Buying wholesale can save you money, which means you can have a huge profit depending on the price tag you put on your products. But if you’re trying to sell to a couple who are considering buying from your competitors, you can still offer them deals that may be more appealing than what your competitors are selling.

More Time For Promotional Strategies

The time you save from getting your supplies is the time you can use for other essential aspects of the business such as promotions. Your business won’t grow if you don’t do any marketing strategies to promote it. You need to spread the word so people know who you are and what you can offer them.

Putting your business online is one of the most effective ways these days because the world has gone digital. However, you also won’t go wrong with making business cards that you can give to your customers, especially if it’s eye-catching. You’re going to need time to plan so your strategies can give you positive results.

High-Quality Items

Most of the time, wholesale products come directly from factories. It means that you may get the goods in the best quality that they can be. It’s because the products didn’t have to go through middlemen who can increase the risk of damaging the goods.

You’ll get high-quality wedding decorations that you can offer your customers, which means less risk of returns. It will save both you and your customers time and money by not having to return damaged items.

Final Thoughts

When you’re planning to restock or open a new wedding decoration shop, buy wholesale. It’ll save you lots of time, money, and effort. Aside from all those benefits, you’ll also free yourself from the many headaches that running a business can bring. Make sure to choose the right supplier so you can maximize the benefits you’ll get.
