Why Renting Your Wedding Decor is One of the Smartest Decisions You Can Make

A money-saving tip from an Indiana Wedding Photographer + Indiana Wedding VideographerIf there’s one thing I’ve learned after photographing and filming 300+ weddings as an Indiana Wedding Photographer and Indiana Wedding Videographer, it’s this:
👉 Couples almost always underestimate how much decor costs… and how overwhelming it becomes after the wedding.
The candles.
The arches.
The signage.
The table runners.
The vases.
The backdrops.
The bins and bins and bins of “we’ll use this later” items.
And then Monday hits… and you’re staring at a garage full of wedding stuff thinking,
“Wait… what do we even do with all this now?”
This is exactly why I constantly recommend renting your decor instead of buying it.
Not only does it save money — it saves your time, your storage space, and your sanity.

💸 How Decor Rentals Save You Money

Let’s talk real life for a second.
When couples buy decor, here’s what usually happens:

• You pay full retail price
  
• You use it once
  
• You try to resell it
  
• You get maybe half your money back (if that)
  
• You spend weeks answering Marketplace messages like “Is this still available?” 😅
  

By the time you factor in:

• storage
  
• setup
  
• teardown
  
• cleaning
  
• reselling
  

…it’s honestly not cheaper.
Rentals flip that whole story.
You get:
✔ High-end pieces
✔ Professionally curated designs
✔ No clutter
✔ No reselling
✔ No post-wedding chaos
You use it → return it → DONE.

I absolutely adore working with Cheyenne and her team. Their pieces are stylish, modern, and thoughtfully curated — and they make everything feel effortless for couples.
Cheyenne explains it perfectly:
“Renting wedding decor is a game-changer for couples who value their time and money without sacrificing style. By choosing rentals, you can achieve your dream wedding look without the hassle and expense of buying and storing decorations. When you rent your decor everything is packed and ready for the day of, and once you return it that’s it! You don’t have to store anything, haggle with resale, or spend hours looking for what you need."
You literally show up to your wedding and it’s already beautiful.
No late-night DIY crafting.
No hauling bins.
No ‘why did we buy all this’ stress.

From an Indiana Photographer’s Perspective…

As an Indiana Photographer, I’ll be honest with you — rentals photograph better too.
Here’s why:

• everything matches
  
• pieces are higher quality
  
• setups are professionally styled
  
• less clutter = cleaner photos
  
• your gallery looks timeless instead of DIY
  

When your decor is cohesive and elevated, your photos and films instantly feel more luxurious.
And that’s what you’re going to look back on for the next 50 years.

​Owner & Creative Director: Ashley Brost

Ashley and her team bring such an elevated, cohesive design style to weddings. Everything feels intentional and polished — like something straight out of a magazine.
And they’re huge on sustainability too, which I love.
Ashley puts it this way:
“Renting décor allows couples to avoid the cost of buying items they’ll only use once, the clutter of storing them before and after the wedding, the stress of reselling items, and the post-wedding cleanup. We invest in high-quality pieces that can be reused again and again, offering a more sustainable option while giving beautiful décor a long life across many celebrations.”
So not only are you saving money…
You’re also reducing waste and being more eco-friendly. 🌿
