Rent VS Buy: Wedding Decorations Toronto Edition
There’s a lot that goes into planning a wedding; including choosing wedding decorations, colours and whether or not you should rent or buy your Toronto wedding decorations. Let’s figure out what works best for you.
Pros of renting:
It’s usually a lot more effective. Sometimes a DIY is a lot cheaper, but you can spend hours making a decoration that you are going to use once. Remember to think of your opportunity cost when considering a larger DIY project.
Cleaning, you don’t have to worry about washing the rentals the company you rent from should have it cleaned after every use.
Transportation – people don’t consider this when creating DIY for all of the wedding decorations, but transporting all the wedding décor can be a lot. Imagine building a beautiful wedding arch and then realizing you have no way to get it there. The option to rent a truck in order to successfully move décor is always there, but that is another added cost to consider.
Cons of renting:
Renting makes it hard to get personalized decorations. With few exceptions, such as light-up marquee letters for rent in Toronto having your name on decorations makes it hard for decoration companies to reuse them at other weddings.
It is hard to have a keepsake from the wedding if you rent all your decor. If you rent it, it has to go back.
Toronto Industry experts recommend renting the following:
Linens,
Table linens, napkins and runners are things most weddings rent and with good reason. Trying to find matching ones in the same colour for many people is expensive and a nightmare. It is costly because you most likely won’t find them in clearance in the numbers you need, or if you do, they won’t be all in the same colours. Also, who wants to clean and store that many linens that you probably won’t use again.

Toronto Industry experts recommend buying the following:
Wedding dresses and suits. When you buy your clothing, getting it fitted to your body makes it look so much better than anything you could rent. While rentals come in a variety of sizes and shapes, they are not tailored specifically to you.
Photo frames are a typical wedding decoration. Pictures of the couple and their lives before the wedding make excellent home décor and are also inexpensive.
Anything you think you are going to reuse. There are creative people out there, and they incorporate their wedding décor into their daily lives. Such as transforming the wedding arch into a swing for the backyard. It is easier to justify buying if you are going to reuse it. Make sure that you have a plan for it before you buy it.
