The Ultimate Wedding Decor Checklist

Planning a wedding can be one of the most rewarding, but also stressful times of your life. Aside from all the budgeting and little details, there is one big part of the wedding that can cause a huge amount of panic: the wedding decor. If you have a certain style or theme, trying to think of everything you will need to rent, buy or DIY can be exhausting! We know better than anyone that checklists are a must when planning your wedding, so that's why we've created the ultimate wedding decor checklist for you to print or save for later, to make sure you have absolutely everything you need.


What you'll need to rent

There are a number of decor items you may need to rent for your wedding. Depending on the venue/where you're getting married, they might have inventory of some decor, so it's best to check. But if you want a fully customised, unique wedding, you'll need to rent the below items:

  • Aisle runner

  • Chairs

  • Chair covers/seat pads
