We have had a few of our brides ask what we thought about diy rentals vs full setup by us.
Here are our thoughts;
Having personally gone through decorating my own wedding I would not recommand diy unless you are able to get into the hall at least the morning before the wedding, have a lot of help or are just setting up chair covers and table cloths.
What we all tend to forget is that a million things will run through your head the day before and you have to remember that being well rested and relaxed should be your priority.
Think of it this way; you hire a photographer to take your wedding pictures, a dj to play the music and a limo or other car service to drive you on that day. Why would you possibly stress yourself out about setting up the one place that your guests will spend the majority of the day at?
Now Im not saying that diys should be completley out. We have lots of brides, make their own seating charts, or invitations, or centerpieces. All Im saying is if you dont have the time or the help to setup, not to worry. Thats what we are here for :)
