DIY Wedding Decor: What to Rent & What to Buy

Thinking of decorating your wedding yourself? DIY decor can be a great way to personalize your big day and save money, but knowing what to rent and what to buy can make all the difference! 💍✨

What to Rent 🏺

Some wedding decor items are expensive to buy and hard to reuse. Renting these can save you money and storage space:

• Large Decorations – Arches, backdrops, and flower walls

• Tableware & Linens – Tablecloths, runners, and chair covers

• Lighting – Chandeliers, fairy lights, and uplighting

• Seating & Furniture – Chiavari chairs, lounge seating, and bars

• Photo Booth Setup – Cameras, backdrops, and props

What to Buy 🛍️

Some smaller items can be great keepsakes or easy to resell after your wedding:

• Signage & Stationery – Welcome signs, table numbers, and menus

• Personalized Decor – Custom name tags, cake toppers, and guest books

• Small DIY Centerpieces – Candles, vases, and artificial flowers

• Photo Props – Fun signs, frames, and accessories for selfies

Bonus Tips for a Stress-Free DIY Wedding 💡

• Plan Ahead – Start DIY projects early to avoid last-minute stress

• Mix DIY with Rentals – A blend of both will keep things stylish and manageable

• Ask for Help – Involve friends and family in setup to lighten the load
