Importance of Hiring Wedding Stock Rather Than Buying

When planning your wedding, you might not realise that you are able to hire in your wedding stock. We provide a whole range of different stock for you to hire, which you can either collect from our warehouse or we can drop to your venue for you.

Here are some key reasons why hiring may be the better option:

Cost-Effectiveness

Hiring can significantly reduce expenses, especially for items that are only needed for a single day. Purchasing can lead to high upfront costs, while hiring allows couples to allocate their budget more efficiently.

Variety and Flexibility

Hiring provides access to a wider range of styles and options. Couples can choose from a variety of items that may not be feasible to buy, allowing for a more personalised and unique wedding experience.

Reduced Storage and Maintenance Issues

After the wedding, purchased items often require storage and maintenance. Hiring eliminates the need for storage space, as items are returned after use, making post-wedding life simpler. We clean everything, you do not need to worry about that!

Quality and Condition

We maintain our inventory to a high standard. This means couples can access high-quality items without the worry of wear and tear that comes with ownership.

Environmental Considerations

Hiring promotes sustainability by reducing waste. Purchasing items that may only be used once contributes to environmental concerns, while hiring encourages the reuse of wedding stock.

Convenience and Time-Saving

Hiring can streamline the planning process. We offer delivery, setup, and collection services, saving couples time and effort on logistics.

Access to Professional Advice

We have experience and expertise in wedding planning, and we are able to provide valuable advice on what items work best for specific themes or venues.

Hiring wedding stock offers numerous benefits that can enhance the overall wedding experience. From cost savings to convenience and sustainability, it is a practical choice for many couples looking to create their dream wedding without the burden of ownership. We would love to help with this!

Protection - Offers protection from physical damage on the day and keeps them in a dedicated box

S & S opted to hire our White Acrylic Cardbox, which we placed in the Old Dairy at the back of the ceremony.

The Old Dairy - Ceremony

Styling the Old Dairy for the Wedding

The Old Dairy at South Farm provided a rustic yet charming backdrop for this wedding, and we embraced its unique character to create a beautiful and memorable atmosphere.

Here’s how we styled the ceremony:

Colour Palette

S & S chose a soft, romantic colour palette that complimented the dairy's natural tones. Shades of Blush, Cream, and Sage Green were incorporated throughout the decor, enhancing the rustic elegance of the space.

Lighting

To create a warm and inviting ambience, we utilised a combination of string lights (from South Farm) and Gold lanterns with LED Pillar Candles. The soft glow of the lights highlighted the dairy's architectural features and created a romantic setting for the evening festivities.

Table Plan

For S & S we provided a Printed Table Plan. We designed this table plan alongside S & S and printed the table plan via a local printing company.
