Renting Vintage Decor



Renting Decor is a great way to keep costs down and to stay green. By reusing materials and vintage pieces, you can create the ambience you are looking for while staying true to your values.

Gorgeous and Green recently provided the floral decor for a wedding in Moss Beach, CA. The color scheme was navy blue and yellow, with whites. The theme was a rustic vintage. So, you guessed it, I used rented and vintage containers.


We chose to use a lot of rentals to help provide the vintage feeling the bride was looking for, and a good amount of twine! I have these adorable vintage silver champagne cups that I used to showcase a kale bloom or a succulent rosette. I threw in little bits of chamomile tied with twine and plenty of vines. The look was soft and timeless.


The Bride arrived to the ceremony location in a vintage car and her hair was done up with a lovely feather fascinator. Everything looked clean and the vintage touches added the right effect to the day.


Even the flower girl had a vintage flair...

And Finally, the bride's bouquet. I used locally grown/non-sprayed dahias, local roses and locally grown garden roses. Beautiful.


All the details, including the vintage and rented containers helped create a beautiful day.
