Wedding and event décor rentals in Iowa

Décor rentals that make the whole room.

Candles, backdrops, lounge furniture, linens, signage and centrepieces. Six hundred and eighty-five pieces, all of them ours. Delivery and setup available across Central Iowa.

Rent the pieces. Skip the buying, storing and hauling.

Buying décor for one day means storing it forever. We rent wedding and event décor across Central Iowa — from Clear Lake to Des Moines, Cedar Falls to Carroll and the towns in between — so you get the elevated look without the closet full of candle holders you will never use again.

Our inventory is built for real Iowa weddings and events: candles and candle holders, arches and backdrops, lounge furniture, linens, centrepieces, signage and lighting. It is ours — it lives in our building, not in a supplier's warehouse, which means you can come and put your hands on it before you commit to anything.

Rental rates depend on quantity, your date, and how you would like us to get it to you. Add what you love to your list and we will send you a quote.

A dimly lit reception lounge with a tufted ivory settee, a pedestal table set up as an instant photo guestbook, eucalyptus over exposed brick and a glowing neon sign reading twas always you.

How rentals work

Three ways to get the pieces from our building to your room. Pick the one that matches how much you want to be carrying on the morning of your wedding.

  1. Just rentals, plus a design consultation

    You pick it up

    Best for couples who want professional styling input without full-service setup. You get a genuine consultation — a stylist works from your inspiration and pulls from our inventory.

    • A fully customised décor consultation with one of our stylists
    • Charger plates and drinkware for the head table
    • Your choice of table runner for every table
    • Custom-designed centrepieces
    • Mood lighting, florals to your palette, dessert table styling
    • Basic signage and customisable mirrors
    • You collect 1–2 days before and return within 48 hours
  2. The Styled & Ready package

    We deliver it

    For couples who want the design but do not want to think about transport. It arrives organised, labelled, and ready for whoever is setting up.

    • Everything above
    • Delivery within 150 miles
    • Rentals pre-organised and labelled for easy venue setup
    • Drop-off instructions for your coordinator or venue team, if you want them
  3. The Full-Service Styling package

    We set it all up

    You show up to your reception with everything exactly as you imagined it. Not lifting a finger.

    • Everything above
    • On-site setup and professional styling of every table
    • Coordination with your florist or planner so the whole room agrees
    • Adjustments made on site, in the actual light
    • Post-event breakdown and cleanup of all rentals
