Seattle Area Rental Companies

It is the little details that stand out at weddings. You don't have to break the bank buying finishing touches to make your wedding or party special. Make your wedding look like a million bucks by renting the perfect details. Here is a list of best rental companies in the Seattle area.

Table Decor
For dishes and glassware that are anything but standard, look to Totally Tabletops for the coolest dinnerware around.

For unusual props, look no further than Rented Elegance. We especially love their metals trees as centerpieces.

Creative linen selection makes the table. We are experts at coordinating our florals with linens for our customers. Choice Linens is who we turn to most frequently for the best selection of elegant tablecloths and sheer overlays in Seattle.

Recognizing that not everyone is in the Seattle area, we suggest BBJ Linen as a source for linens. They offer linen rental nationwide as well as custom linens.

Tables and Chairs
Few things are worse than renting tables and chairs for your wedding and having them arrived with chipped paint or wobbly tops. Pedersens Rentals offers items that are not only beautiful, they meticulously paint their chairs twice a year and keep their rental equipment in top shape. In addition to tables and chairs, they offer a complete range of dishes and serving items.

Consistently rated the best rental company in Seattle by Seattle Bride magazine, AA Party Rentals has practically everything you need for a wedding or event.


Plant Rental
Need to soften the lines of a tent or add a tropical feeling to your event? Christian's Tree and Plant Rentals is the place to go. From ferns to 12 foot palm trees, they have lots of plants to choose from.

Trade Show Plant Rental has a wonderful selection of plants and offers free delivery and pick-up on orders over $200.


Tent Rental

Grand Event Rentals has everything you need to protect your guests from the elements.


To make your day go smoothly, we can handle all of the rentals for you, leaving you free to enjoy your day. We will make sure they arrive on time, are set up and picked up and returned to the rental company after your wedding or event is over.

When Life Gives You Lemons...

Lemon Centerpiece
...make a centerpiece!


The bride came in with only a photograph of a yellow, pink and white wedding cake. She didn't want an all pink wedding so we used the yellow as inspiration to plan the theme for this wedding at Seattle's Alexis Hotel. What better way to add yellow than with lemons? We paired them with Gold Strike, Sahara and Sweet Unique roses, butter yellow stock, hydrangeas, cymbidium orchids and scented geranium leaf to make centerpieces that were as fragrant as they are unique.


Buffet Floral With Lemons






The buffet piece was enhanced with eremurus and curly willow to give it more presence. Whole and half lemons were literally cascading down the table.














Bright yellow miniature calla lilies are the focus of the bridal bouquet. Sweet smelling stock filled in the bridesmaid's nosegay.
















The cake that inspired it all had roses tumbling down all three sections. It took over an hour to carefully place each rose.

Seattle's Only EnviroStars Rated Florist


On this Earth Day 2008, it is good to remember that our actions have an impact on the work we live in. Fiori Floral Design is proud to have been recognized by EnviroStars for our work in reducing waste and limiting our use of toxic chemicals. We are the only Seattle florist with an EnviroStars rating. With a few minor changes, we were able to increase our rating from three to four stars last year.
All of our green clippings are turned into compost by a local flower grower, preventing nearly 50 tons of waste per year entering our landfills. This grower then sells us flowers that were grown with the clippings we provided him.
We are also avid recyclers, producing less than one can of trash per week by recycling as much of our waste as possible. All soiled paper is put into our compost bags and returned to the earth. Wherever possible, we choose chemicals with the smallest possible impact on the environment. Instead of floral foam, which doesn't break down readily in a land fill, we design almost all of our florals in water which results in longer lasting florals.
We are constantly looking for ways to reduce our impact on the environment.
