Wedding Decor and Arch Rentals

1. 1

   Buy versatile core pieces

   Start with a few neutral arches, backdrops, and decor items that suit many styles. Versatile inventory rents more often than trendy one-look pieces.

2. 2

   Style and photograph it

   Shoot your pieces set up beautifully in real or styled settings. Your photo catalog is your storefront, so make it look like the wedding couples want.

3. 3

   Rent by package with service

   Offer rental packages with delivery, setup, and teardown (a ceremony set commonly $300 to $900). Handling the labor is what lets you charge more than a bare rental.

4. 4

   Protect your inventory

   Use rental agreements, deposits, and damage terms, and carry insurance. Clear terms keep a broken arch from eating your profit.

5. 5

   Fund the launch

   Budget $1,000 to $5,000 for your core inventory, a vehicle setup, and storage. Reinvest early profits to expand the catalog.

6. 6

   Grow with planners and venues

   Partner with planners and venues who book your pieces repeatedly. Vendor relationships turn one-off rentals into steady weekend bookings.

Best for: Practical, style-aware people with storage and a vehicle

Not for: People without storage space, a way to transport large items, or willingness to work weekends around setup and teardown.
