Every great event has one thing in common: a consistent theme that guests notice from the moment they walk in. But choosing the right chairs, tables, lighting, and accessories to match that theme can be tricky.
Here’s how to choose rental items that match your event theme perfectly—while staying within budget and creating a memorable guest experience.
1. ? Know Your Theme and Color Palette
Before you rent anything, define your theme. Is it traditional Nigerian, modern minimalist, boho chic, or all-white elegance? Once you know your theme, selecting items like chair types, tablecloth colors, and backdrop styles becomes easier.
? Example: For a royal-themed wedding, go for gold Chiavari chairs, deep red tablecloths, and floral backdrops.
2. ? Match Seating to the Mood
Seating makes a big visual impact. For upscale events, Chiavari or throne chairs add class. For casual or children’s events, colorful plastic chairs or cushioned seats are perfect.
? Tip: Always rent extra chairs in case of unexpected guests!
3. ? Choose Lighting That Enhances
Lighting does more than brighten a space—it sets the mood. For romantic themes, go for soft fairy lights or warm uplighting. For corporate or product events, sharp white lights or LED displays make more impact.
? Look for customizable lighting options that fit both indoor and outdoor venues.
4. Don’t Forget the Tables (and What’s On Them)
From banquet tables to cocktail stands, your table choice should suit the type of service you’re offering (buffet, sit-down dinner, or drinks-only). Covers, runners, centerpieces, and even napkins should reflect the overall aesthetic.
? Some rental vendors offer complete table styling packages—you choose the look, they handle the rest.
5. ? Use Props and Decor to Tie It All Together
Backdrops, flower stands, balloon arches, signs, or custom props are what truly transform a rental space into a personalized experience. These small elements help guests connect emotionally to the theme.
? Pro tip: Rent instead of buying, especially if your décor won’t be reused.
