Do you see any surprises on this list of what brides and planners have searched for to plan their perfect event!?
Black & White Dance Floor
(a.k.a. the piece that turns your reception into a moment)
A black & white dance floor is one of the fastest ways to make your reception feel intentional, elevated, and wildly photogenic. It anchors the room, draws guests in, and instantly signals, this is where the party happens.
At Miss Milly’s Event Rentals, Decor, & Floral Designs, we keep our dance floors in immaculate condition—no scuffs, no dull panels—so they photograph crisp and clean from every angle. Because it shows up in nearly every reception photo, this is one investment that pays off all night long.
Why couples love it:
Works with any color palette
Feels timeless but still bold
Elevates simple receptions and complements luxury designs
Creates instant contrast in photos (especially with white gowns)
Prefer a softer look? We also offer all-white or all-black dance floor options to match your vision.
Why it’s searched:
Terms like “black and white dance floor rental,” “checkered dance floor wedding,” and “wedding dance floor rental” are consistently trending. Couples want a statement piece that feels classic, fun, and camera-ready—and this checks every box.
Luxury Lounge Furniture
Because what guest doesn’t love to feel like pure royalty?
Lounge furniture is a great way to include grandparents and people who can’t get up and dance and it’s a way to bring everyone into the party. It’s a great photo op for the bride and groom.
Lots of planners will move it around to get a bonus photo op that is just a perfect photo.
Plus, it prevents people from going all the way back to their chair where they ate dinner and keeps people in the fun zone.

Couples want a party stylish AND comfortable. Terms like “lounge furniture rentals” and “wedding lounge setup” are wildly popular and are a good starting point when planning a wedding.
Styling Tips:
Mix textures: velvet + linen = instant designer energy.
Use side tables and layered elements to create conversation zones.
Add candles or uplighting for warmth.
Designer Note:
Lounge setups photograph beautifully and make your wedding feel intentional from the second guests walk in.
Table Decor & Centerpieces

The table is where guests spend a lot of time and what guests get an up close look at.
Don’t be afraid to make the head table or sweetheart table wow.

Reception tables are some of the most photographed details of the night. Lets make them wow.
Styling Tips:
Vary heights for visual balance (candlesticks, florals, low pieces).
Mix metals like gold, silver, and brass — don’t be shy.
You often want 2-3 table designs and then you can repeat those to add variety and consistency.
Wedding Backdrops & Ceremony Arches

We have a variety of patterns, textures, and furniture materials if velvet is not your thing and you’re looking for statement seating.

Farm Tables
We agree that nothing beats a long, beautiful table full of your favorite people.
Why it’s searched:
Classic, timeless, and beautifully versatile. Search terms like “farm table rentals” continue to perform strong year after year. Everyone loves a good long table to gather together.
No matter how long this is a trend, it offers a timeless benefit and it will forever be a beloved staple.
Styling Tips:
Skip the tablecloth to show off the wood.
Add flowers, greenery, and votive candle clusters.
Add a special set of chairs for specific tables i.e. head table, guest tables, etc.
ALL THE CANDLES
And last but not least…. CANDLES.
Candles are hands-down one of our most rented décor elements—and for good reason. They add warmth, romance, and movement in a way no other detail can. Whether your style leans modern, romantic, or moody, candlelight instantly softens a space and makes it feel alive.
At Miss Milly’s we offer an extensive collection of candlesticks, hurricanes, votives, and candelabras in a range of finishes and heights. Everything is venue-approved, flame-safe, and styled intentionally to meet safety requirements without sacrificing beauty.
Why couples love candles:
They add romance without overwhelming florals
Create dimension and height without blocking sight lines
Transition a space from formal to magical instantly
Look stunning in photos from dusk through last dance
Why it’s searched:
Searches for “wedding candle rentals,” “candelabra wedding décor,” and “wedding table candles” continue to rise. Candles are one of the smartest rental decisions—purchasing them outright is expensive and impractical, while renting allows for scale and variety.
Styling Tips:
Mix heights for depth (short votives + tall tapers)
Layer candles down long tables or aisles for drama
Pair with reflective surfaces like mirrors or metallic chargers
Use candle clusters to highlight focal areas like bars or lounge spaces
Candles are the detail guests may not consciously name—but they’ll absolutely feel the difference.
