📖 The Hustle
Wedding decor is expensive to buy and used for exactly one day. Build a collection of ceremony arches, aisle markers, centerpiece vases, lanterns, signage easels, and decorative items and rent them to couples planning weddings. A wooden ceremony arch that costs $150 to build can rent for $75-100 per wedding. A set of 15 centerpiece vases can rent for $100-150. Couples are thrilled to get beautiful decor at a fraction of the purchase price. Your garage becomes a wedding decor showroom that earns every weekend during wedding season.
🚀 First Step
Build or buy a stylish wooden wedding arch, decorate it for photos, and list it on PeerRenters with a description of styles it works with.
🔑 Keys to Success
- A hexagon wedding arch is the most Instagram-popular ceremony backdrop right now — build one for $100 in lumber and rent it for $100-150 per wedding
- Create 3 'wedding style bundles' — rustic, modern, and bohemian — couples can visualize the complete look and book the entire package at once
- Include setup and teardown in your rental price — wedding venues require you to be in and out on a tight timeline, and couples will pay more for a full-service offering
