The 4 Most Common Wedding Rental Items You Must Have at Your Wedding
A well-organized wedding
is a sight to behold. From the perfect bouquet to the coordinated bridal party, everything comes together effortlessly and without a hitch—yet it takes countless hours of preparation in order to achieve that level of perfection.
One area that often gets overlooked as we plan our weddings is how we will actually pull off this big event; how do we decorate the venue? How do we seat all of our guests? What plates will they eat from? Do we even have enough chairs for everyone? And so on!
A great way to answer those questions and make sure you don't forget anything important is by renting what you need (instead of buying). This way, there's no need for storage space at home or extra costs over time because once your big day is over, everything goes back into someone else's warehouse until next time. Many venues have tables and chairs available with the rental contract but making sure they fit your decor is so important!
To see many examples of what we will discuss see our Portfolio Page. Then come back to read all about these 4 items and why you must have them for your wedding!
In this blog post, I'll share with you eight of my most common wedding rental items that are must-haves in order for any wedding reception to go off without any problems!
Signage
- Signage can be used to make a statement. (“Enter the kingdom of love!”) You want to make your guests feel like they've entered another land; an enchanted place full of love and good feelings. The signage that you use sets the theme of your wedding and your reception more than just about anything else. We are experts in this and can help you choose the right signage for your special day.
- Signage is a great way to direct guests. This is obvious to you as the bride or groom but probably everyone coming to your wedding has never been to your wedding location. They may not know where to go for seating, or gift drop off, or even where the reception will be after the ceremony. Proper use of perfectly themed signage does double duty by directing and putting your guests at ease when they arrive.
- Signage can be made of many different materials: wood, metal, plastic, etc. You have a wedding theme in mind. Maybe even for many years you dreamed how your wedding would look. Now is the time to turn all those dreams into a reality. By choosing the right materials to match your wedding decor you create a day just how you imagined.
- It's important that signage matches your wedding theme and colors.
This is obvious to most of us but have you ever been to a wedding or special event and it looks like it was all thrown together at the last minute? Most likely it was. But to truly make your day special and your guests talking about it for years to come, having your decor, linens, dishware, signage, flowers, and everything else fit together seamlessly.
Chiavari Chairs
Chiavari Chairs are a very popular option for wedding events but what are chiavari chairs?
Chiavari chairs are traditional banquet seating that provides comfort and style to any ceremony or reception. The back legs of these chairs have a distinct design with lots of curves, which gives them their signature look. They come in many different sizes, styles and colors!
The benefits of having Chiavari chairs include:
- The most obvious benefit is their looks!
They're elegant yet simple, making them perfect for any wedding venue whether it's outdoors or indoors (they can also be rented!).
- They're lightweight while being durable enough to endure all kinds of weather conditions without breaking down easily like other types of wood furniture might do over time as well! So don't worry about needing extra care when your guests are using them. They are even kid-proof in most cases!
China, Glassware and Flatware
China plates and chargers are a must for any wedding. They're not just for show—they actually serve as a table's foundation, so it's important to choose pieces that can handle the load of food, drinks and dessert.
If you're not sure what to get, consider renting a set that comes with both china plates (for dinner) and charger plates (for appetizers). Another option is to rent separate sets of dishes in different sizes: one large enough for dinner service, another larger set meant only for appetizers (if needed).
Lace runners are also nice ways to add style while keeping everything in place; they simply lay down underneath each setting before adding the dinnerware.
And don't forget about glassware! You'll need flutes or champagne glasses if you're serving sparkling wine at cocktail hour or other beverages during dinner time; use water glasses instead if they're seated next to their food courses.
For formal events like weddings where people may take multiple courses throughout the night, I recommend using heavy-duty plastic flatware like melamine instead of fragile silverware because it won't bend under pressure or break easily when dropped on accident."
A Dessert Table
The dessert table is the most common staple at any wedding. It can be used as a dessert table, an ice cream bar or even a candy bar. This item is a great way to add a little extra to your wedding without needing anything else that can be expensive.
The dessert table is perfect because it allows you to make sure everyone has access to their favorite desserts without having any food left over at the end of your reception.
And don’t forget the table for the bride and groom cakes. These should be on a separate table or location that is a focal point of your evening and easy to access so family or staff are able to cut and serve the pieces of cake.
Conclusion
There’s nothing quite like a wedding. It’s an exciting event that will bring two families together and a couple forming new bonds and celebrating love.
To make it even better, rent the right items to make your special day stress free and beautiful! Renting wedding items is smart because you only need them for a few days. Plus, you don’t have to worry about storing the items afterwards or cleaning them up after use.

Thinking about a wedding coordinator?
A experienced wedding coordinator can help transform your whole wedding into one of peace, joy, comfort, and fun. If you've ever been to weddings that are all over the place, unorganized, and kind of a hot mess. A good wedding coordinator keeps all that from happening.
