One of the most preliminary steps in wedding planning involves the “B” word—budget. (Which, if we’re being honest, can be the other “B” word.) But we’ve got a way for flower lovers, those who need to cut a corner somewhere, and those who want to lessen their Big Day’s environmental imprint: rent-a-bloom. Yes, thanks to the tried and true team at Ruth’s House Event Rentals and their new “branch” (sorry!), Wedding Flowers for Rent, couples can hire a suite of truly stunning faux flowers, bouquets, and centerpieces for their celebrations. The savings compared to the same setup of fresh flowers? Up to 70 percent. And budget salvation isn’t the only benefit; with rentals, you don’t have to worry about seasonal availability; you’ll know exactly what your bouquets and centerpieces will look like well in advance; and the process is super simple. Just browse the floral collections online, add the items you want (they even offer dog collars), and place your order. Wedding Flowers for Rent then boxes everything up, ships it so items arrive two days before the wedding, and include a return label for a simple return. (While they do ship nationwide, they’ll pick up Lowcountry orders if that’s your preference.) Still need convincing? Take a peek at their site and follow them on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest (@weddingflowersforrent) to see just how gorgeous their offerings are—keep visiting as they add new pieces throughout the year.
