Frequently Asked Questions
How can I borrow your super cool rare and fun vintage items?
Build your wishlist. Once you have all the items you think you would like for your big day- submit the wishlist! Then sit back and relax. We will get back to you with item availability and a quote. If you would like to move forward with the quote and everything looks good, let us know and we will send you the rental agreement and invoice.
How do I reserve the items?
Sign the rental agreement and pay the 50% non refundable deposit. The remaining 50% is due one month before your event.
How long is my invoice valid?
Your invoice is valid for 14 days from the day you receive it.
How long is my rental for?
24 hours. Longer rental periods can be accommodated for additional fees.
Is there a rental minimum?
Yes. Our minimum rental value is $600 for the Chicagoland area. However, we may be able to work with you if you need just a few pieces, email us to discuss!
What are the fees?
Installation and Retrieval Fee: Will depend on the amount of items rented and location of event.
Cleaning & Maintenance Fee: We know that our items sometimes get a little too much love, so a mandatory non-refundable 12% cleaning & maintenance fee on the rental rates of your items is added to every order. This covers normal wear & tear on our collection, but does not cover gross negligence – such as damage caused by inclement weather.
Scheduling Delivery
Once the 50% deposit is paid, we will reach out to you to schedule delivery. We will need the following information:
venue address
delivery dates (load in and load out)
preferred 3 hour arrival window for the delivery/installation/load in
preferred 3 hour arrival window for the pick up/retrieval/load out
onsite contact information for day of coordination- name and phone number
any additional information regarding the venue specifics- stairs, elevators, delivery restrictions, etc.
We are getting married in my parents backyard….what if it rains?!
I would plan a backup playlist with all the rain songs (it’s raining men, i’m only happy when it rains, have you ever seen the rain, umbrella, fool in the rain, etc) and play that all night but that’s just me. But really- you are responsible for ensuring that your rental items are protected from the elements (rain, snow, dirt, sand, etc). Please have a plan for inclement weather to avoid being charged damage fees (and being a fool in the rain).
I am an artist and my fiance is an equestrian. Can you design and decorate our tablescapes incorporating my artwork and my fiance’s passion?
YESS! We would absolutely love to. We are more than happy to work with you, hunt for you (for allllll the things) and display your special pieces. Chrissy is all about the details and using your passions, interests, quirks and hobbies to tell a story- your beautiful story.
I saw something about vintage photo booth decor. Tell me more.
When designing and decorating our wedding, one of the things that brought me the most joy was planning, hunting for, and installing the photo booth. My goal was to make it fun for everyone. To have a little bit of everything weird, so every one of our favorite humans would find something that spoke to them and make them smile so hard.
The smiles were endless and the pictures are priceless. If you are into furs, canes, fur hats, vintage gloves, fans, looking drop dead gorgeous, and having the best time, we got you covered.
Do you design/decorate/ style homes and if so, can you help me with mine?
Absolutely.
