We just received notice that we have been recognized as the Best Wedding Rental Service in Central Illinois for 2026 by Business Rate. What an honor! This award is based on real customer reviews, so that makes it even more special to us!

Couples ask us all the time — is it cheaper to just buy my decor on Amazon?

Sometimes, yes. But a lot of times, the math doesn't hold up once you add shipping, figuring out how to get it to the venue, setting it up yourself, and then trying to sell it on Facebook Marketplace the week after your wedding.

We just wrote a whole blog post breaking it all down — including when buying actually makes sense, and when renting is the smarter call.

And if you're curious about what rental actually looks like for your wedding, we do free showroom consultations. I send a quote by email a few days after so you can look it over at home without any pressure.

We are very intentional about making all of our rental products easy to transport and install.

The wooden cross is no exception! Even though it sits over 8 ft tall, the cross was made to fit inside a regular size vehicle and easy to put together. Mick did a great job of creating this with both of those goals in mind! We also have larger base legs that are used for outdoor use (we all know how windy those Central Illinois summers get and we don't want this cross falling over on anyone).

So, if you are interested in renting this beautiful handmade cross, remember that we've thought of everything from safety, to transportation, to install.

What a great night - for a great cause. Not only did we provide table decor for this fundraising event, but we attended it as well. I even won a silent auction item! Thanks Eversight for a great evening.

October is for the women who keep showing up.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month hits different when you know someone who's been through it. Your mom, your sister, the friend who stood next to you on your wedding day. 🎗️

We get to see a lot of celebrations here in Central Illinois. But none of them are more special than the ones where someone gets to ring that bell at the end of treatment.

This October, we're thinking about every woman who's fighting, surviving, or living on the other side of a diagnosis.

Who are you wearing pink for this month? Drop her name in the comments. 🩷
