Once you selected a wedding venue, you can start perfecting the details. Before deciding on décor details, it's important to secure the necessary rentals for your wedding day. While some venues will include furniture, dinnerware, and glassware, others will require you to bring in outside rentals. If your venue is bare, you'll need to rent every single item down to the forks and napkins. So try to negotiate with your venue to waive any charges for using a third-party rental company. Not sure where to rent? Ask your caterer, floral designer, or venue manager for quality referrals.

Essentials: This is only necessary for some venues (e.g., remote outdoor locations or backyard weddings with very limited restrooms). If needed, provide portable restroom rentals so your guests can spend more time socializing and getting down on the dance floor and less time waiting in long bathroom lines.

Essentials: Fresh, blossoming flowers will make your venue look like a dream, but how do you encase them all? That's where your floral designer can help you. For beautiful displays, rent arches, aisle marker stands, vases, vessels, votives, lanterns, candelabras, etc.
