Featured Wedding Pro: David Galliett

Rented Elegance - Bellevue, WA
wedding decor & design
Rented Elegance! Two weeks ago I met with David and his staff at Rented Elegance in Bellevue to get the scoop on their great company and dig for a few clients needing spectacular decor. I specifically wanted to meet with David because he offers a unique vision to decor & decoration. He designs the decor himself.

How it all began: David married his wife (a doctor at Overlake hospital) in San Francisco back in the day.... When it came time to plan and decorate for their own ceremony, they found decor pricing and creativity didn't match up. In the old-fashioned American way, they opted for the DIY route (do it yourself) They designed decor and built everything from scratch. In fact, their wedding is STILL featured for being fabulous and one-of-a-kind at the venue in San Fran. Wow!
chandeliers of all kinds available

What impressed me the most about David is the easy going approach to finding out clients' needs and the fact that everything is in-house. From sewing to design its all there! They have a welder on hand to specifically create new designs of David's latest creative whim. Rented Elegance pricing ranges from $5k-? they offer local, corporate, and celebrity events decor. Pick your theme, they do it all! Swanky, southern, traditional, modern, the list goes on and on! They also welcome client feedback. "Bring a picture, we can work with your ideas." he said.

I was blown away by their wedding portfolio and the humble, fun nature amongst staff members. They really get it done! It was very family oriented and close-knit. I'm just a photographer and I felt special being there, I can't imagine what's its like being a client...

Andre was cheerful and bubbly

Meet David, MaryLou, Angie, Andre, and the rest of the crew here: www.rentedelegance.com and see what the buzz is about! Of course, before you shop and drop the dough, be sure to interview and get a custom quote from them. Swing by for martinis and let them take care of you! Enjoy these snaps of their swanky lobby...
