We’re seeing a bit of a resurgence in lounge furniture at weddings all of a sudden, but our pieces are being used in some new ways.
Post Wedding Bridal Shoots
Why just wear that beautiful wedding dress once? We’re finding brides are choosing to do a bit of a styled shoot after the wedding to wear that gown just one more time and they are renting some of our furniture pieces to create a bit of drama.
Metamora Fields – Metamora, IL (just outside Peoria)
Styling Pieces
With pretty much every venue now offering a bridal suite option, we’re finding that our brides are adding an extra furniture piece here and there for styling purposes. These pieces are used for detail, floral, jewelry, and bridal party shots. We’re loving all the creativity these photographers are using our furniture pieces for.
Three Sisters Park – Chillicothe, IL
Stage Pieces
In several cultures it’s customary for a bride and groom to sit up on a stage where family and friends can greet the lovely couple for a quick chat and photo rather than the bride and groom making the rounds through the reception. We are loving this and our clients are often choosing some great furniture pieces to coordinate with an elaborate backdrop for these events.

Outdoor Rentals
Brides are loving the outdoors right now and trying to utilize outdoor spaces in any way possible. Creating an outdoor lounge space for your guests is a perfect way to utilize those outdoor spaces.
Fireplace Decor
So many venues offer a beautiful fireplace and we’re finding we’re accenting those fireplaces with a few furniture pieces here and there. Add a few floral arrangements and the fireplace becomes a focal spot in the room, plus who doesn’t love to get cozy near a fireplace?

Sweetheart Seating
Ever considered using a bench or two chairs as your seating option at the Head Table or Sweetheart table? We kind of love it!
Cannery – Eureka, IL
Space Filler
Sometimes our clients fall in love with a venue, but in all honestly it’s just too large of a space for the number of guests attending. Our solution to this is often to incorporate lounge vignettes into the space to break up the room and allow for additional seating and mingling opportunities.
Embassy Suites – East Peoria, IL
Photo Booth Seating
Photo Booths are still going strong, but they are without the traditional photo booth box. Instead our brides are using this opportunity to have a cute backdrop and some seating options for friends and family to pose at.
Wildlife Prairie Park – Peoria, IL
Traditional lounge seating
And of course we’re still using our furniture pieces in the traditional lounge setting. We’re just customizing them a bit to fit the room and the vibe of the wedding.
