Velvet Rentals

In the thick of the wedding season, reminding ourselves of why we started this crazy rentals business journey, how much we love finding and lending funky one-of-a-kind pieces for you all, and why we keep underestimating the number of water bottles we need to survive each weekend 🤣 In all seriousness, THANKS for trusting us with your lounges, bars, backdrops, table settings and all around stylish vibes on your events. We are so grateful to be a part of your celebrations 🥂 🙏🏻

Gold flatware + white plates on cedar tables—because even charcuterie deserves a red carpet moment. 🍷 🧀

We got the canvas to make your dream tablescapes a reality. We started building these cedar tables in a tiny suburban garage and now we can’t believe the extraordinary places and events they’ve been part of. Our handcrafted cedar tables will elevate your vision from mood board inspiration to instagram-worthy setups⚡️

Bringing the quirky and colorful to life behind our handcrafted Augustine bar 🐅 ✨

Let us set your table, and we’ll dive into the art of mindfully curating with found vintage-ware, where each piece tells a story and holds meaning and purpose.

In the mood for nostalgic retro-chic with Michaela and Alex’s vintage tableware and block bud vases. Nothing like a retro cake to top our display cart for a cake-cutting photo-op moment. Let us handle the unexpected details that make your vision come to life ✨

Just a quick reminder of how much we absolutely adore vibrant colors, bold patterns, and those irresistible funky vibes! Life is too short for anything else 🎨 🌈

Love is in the details⚡️And that’s specially true in Casey and Matt’s work-of-art wedding. Italian infused inside an industrial art gallery atmosphere, adorned with our harvest tables, Carlos buffet table, cream umbrella and shabby chic tub 🤌🏼 100% we’ll proudly take our pretties to unexpected places and elevate your event to a whole different level.

Rolling out the welcome mat for summer with our irresistible tableware✨ We’re getting inspiration today from Suz and Kevin’s reception: Sleek gold flatware + plates, quirky chic glassware + serve-ware, gold candleholders and clear pegged votives, fresh blooms and a sophisticated use of color and style pairings. Here’s our (candidly biased) recommendation: Reach out to us to make your table the talk of your next event🌸🍽️

Constanza and Mirko over here 👋🏼 We are the main faces behind Velvet Rentals from communication to late-night pickups. Turns out we had been in each other’s Facebook friend suggestions lists for a while and right before the pandemic started, Mirko decided to send Constanza a friend request. The rest is history, as they say. We ended up spending a lot of time getting to know each other through the thick of covid, drinking (too much) coffee, drawing, photographing, and dreaming about art projects we could do together. Constanza then volunteered Mirko to lift furniture 😉 and everything organically fell into place with us becoming a team for all things creative. Say hi to us if you ever spot us in the wild or send us a message to get to know each other. 🫶🏼

Why settle for a few candleholders when you can maximize the look? Ask us about brass candleholders…we have a tiny obsession, considering we only have just 300 of them 👀
