1. Light Up the Space

A vibrant event under a large tent with strings of warm, glowing lights hanging above a crowd of people seated at tables, creatine a festive and inviting atmosphere.

Lighting can change the whole feel of a room. Soft fairy lights, paper lanterns, or string lights can make the space magical and welcoming. You can rent various lighting options like chandeliers, various hanging light styles, lanterns, candles, etc from Primary Event Rentals to brighten up your event.

2. DIY Centerpieces

An elegantly set round table with white tablecloth, green napkins, and simple floral centerpieces in glass vases, ready for a formal event.

Centerpieces don’t have to be pricey. You can make your own with dollar store items such as candles, cheap vases, or things you already have at home as well. We do offer some affordable vases, lanterns, and other centerpiece options/materials from Primary Event Rentals to choose from or do it yourself without spending a lot.

3. Dress Up Your Space with Fabric

Fabric can be an inexpensive way to add elegance. Use bolts of fabric to cover ceilings, create backdrops, or hide less attractive parts of your venue. You can rent beautiful drapes, napkins, table cloths, and other linens from Primary Event Rentals for a fancy look at a lower cost. 

We have a HUGE color selection you can come check out in store, and if you can’t stop in, here’s a link to our linen collection → https://primaryeventrentals.tapgoods.com/shop/linens

4. Bring in Nature

Using plants and flowers can be a cheap way to decorate. You can even use potted plants that guests can take home as gifts later!

5. Get Crafty with Paper

Paper is super affordable and versatile. You can make your own paper flowers, streamers, or garlands. With the wonders of the internet today, it’s super easy to find tutorials and inspiration online!

6. Find Treasures at Thrift Stores

Thrift shops can be gold mines for unique and low-cost decor. For a more organized look, check out the vintage and rustic items available for rent at Primary Event Rentals, which can add a lot of character without costing much.

7. Use Balloons

Balloons aren’t just for kids’ parties – you can use them in stylish ways for any event. Pinterest is always a good place to check for balloon arrangement & color inspiration!
