Found Workshop in LA

my new business, Marigold, was derived from a few different sources... first, my love for old treasures and secondly, my obsession with weddings! i've had people ask if they can rent some of my goods out (and I was more than happy to do). BUT, it wasn't until my friend Nicole' Garcia's sister, Shawna Yamamoto {http://www.shawnayamamoto.com/}.....told us about this new business happening in LA called FOUND. I was obsessed immediately and knew it could be a great business...I've been following her blog every DAY! and she posted they were choosing a select few to attend a workshop called "Hide & Seek". we had to answer in depth questions, and I was luckly enough to be selected to represent Oregon! soooo excited to be a part of it. can't wait to share my experiences with you all! and be able to grow my collection that much more learning from a REAL pro!

inspirational shots

something so lovely about a unmatched chairs, an altar piece made from old doors and and obscure hutch all incorporated into your special day! these shots from "untamed heart photography" have inspired me to find similar pieces for my brides...we just got a new shipment of church pews too. i'm going to paint them a chocolate brown for people that like a little non-traditional colors. think they'll be great for barns, and fall weddings. stay tuned for pics.

bridal show 2011

marigold {vintage event rentals} was lucky enough to have Nicole Garica, of Jane Productions design our booth for this years Medford Bridal Show! it was darling and displayed our company's look very well! it was a great success for both Nicole and I! looks like the church pews are going to be a very popular rental this year...i'm on the lookout for some more fabulous ones.

marigold {vintage event rentals} decided to extend our wedding special...

mantle for rent

this mantle was handcrafted by Doug Weathers and painted by me, he does all custom woodwork! we call him "one hair"...it's available for rent. we also have the exact one for sale! let me know if you're interested. i can see the top covered with variegated candles for an intimate wedding setting or out in the middle of a field for a photo prop.

Getting Ready for the Bridal Show

I'm so excited for this weekend's Southern Oregon Bridal Expo! Sounds like they've attracted a lot of talented folks and it's a wonderful way for a couples to see their choices all in one place! :)

Nicole Garcia, of Jane Productions, is designing the space with my vintage finds AND will be running our booth. I purchased Amos Lee Tickets (one of my favorite singer/songwriters of all times) back in December before I knew Marigold was going to be part of the bridal expo. For anything else, I'd def. be there to show Southern Oregon a sneak peak of our awesome collection. Nicole will also be showcasing her wonderful, creative floral designs. She's amazing! and I tell you, goes the extra mile in everything...i love that kind of work ethic.

We'll be showcasing 1 of our 9 vintage church pews (there all refinished with an antique white - love them). i found these at the old glendale church. these are a popular rental, so check with us on your event date. there just so much better than the "normal" row of white chairs! a triage of rustic doors, a sweetheart table with hers and his chairs, windows, chandelier, and then rest you'll just have to come see!

Marigold will passing out darling burlap pendants {handmade by me - I make customize pendants too for any occasion} to the first 75 brides who come visit our booth. We'll also be doing a drawing for $200 worth of vintage rentals of your choice!

Please come see what we can do for your special day! :) we're also offering a 10% off your rental/design cost if you book with us at the bridal show.

*Couple side notes: I found a darling old chariot that will hold presents - i'm crazy abt it...also, had a custom mantle built that is very rustic, primitive looking...

i apologize i don't have more pictures...i'm having a dear friend take them, and she'll be in town SOON! just wanted to make sure they weren't your typical point and shoot pics.

Just Launching

it finally has made a complete circle - well, not quite YET! but, enough to make it public that i'm starting up a vintage event rental business. stay tuned for an awesome ride...i'll promise you that!
