A Settee, or Two

Here at The Attic, we have a lovely variety of settees to choose from. Settees are an easy addition to a special event, a styled shoot, or a wedding. It adds charm, seating, and a touch of elegance. Instead of using plastic rental chairs for a seating area, use a few settees and vintage chairs. Below are a few of the settees we have to offer, and then below those are pictures of the settees being used!






There's just a few of the settee choices, now look below and see how we've used them for special events, styled shoots, and weddings!












Well, there you go! Like any of these and want to rent them? Dont hesitate to contact The Attic for any vintage rental needs you might have! Need a styled shoot? Head over to Alisa Lewis Event & Design (The Attic's sister company) and you're sure to be so happy with the outcome!

Thanks for looking and happy Thursday!

2 Types of Vintage

It's your wedding and you love that vintage look where every item seems to have a story within it's weathered finish, but vintage can go two ways; refined and rustic. So on this beautiful Tuesday morning, we are going to explore "rustic vintage" and "refined vintage" both of which are beautiful and leave a lasting impression!

Rustic Vintage

Here at the Attic rustic vintage means wood rounds, burlap accents, beautiful lush flowers with natural hues, and maybe a few vintage suitcases in the corner holding the guest book. It gives the feeling of timeless romance while bringing in a touch of nature's beauty. There's depth in a rustic vintage styled wedding. The raw and yet lovely appeal of nature and all that it has to offer with it's contrast of rich as well as subtle tones, and vintage props which add time but also an air of romance. We love creating rustic vintage events! Take a look at the pictures below of our very own events we've styled with the help of Alisa Lewis Event & Design and use them as inspiration for your vintage styled wedding!


Bringing in natural tones, while adding bunting and hand written font gives the perfect touch of rustic vintage! 


We love the deep tones of cobalt blue with the vintage lanterns!


 Nothing says rustic, like our beautiful and handcrafted Farm Table Collection.


In this wedding we created the ethereal vintage vibe while adding natural tones and details! 



Rustic vintage can be elegant, too! By using our vintage iron arbor with the perfect amount of patina, paired with our lovely chandelier, your wedding will be the perfect balance of vintage, rustic, and romantic!



Rent our crates and wine barrel table, to highlight your food or dessert tables! The possibilities are endless with these adorable options!

Refined Vintage

If you like the vintage look, but also love the elegant look of glitter here and there, and a pop of gold or silver, then refined vintage might be a good choice for you! We have endless items to rent that can make a simple idea turn into a magical event! We love refined vintage because it can include so many lovely items, such as our large collection of beautiful mercury glass votives, or our vintage bottles, or our gold chargers. Regardless, our refined vintage items are sure to add elegance to your special day or event! Look below for more ideas from events we've created!


Mercury glass votives add a sense of romance while deep purples and lovely florals keep this vintage event refined and beautiful!


Once again, the collection of mercury glass, natural moss, vintage bottles, and delicate florals take beautiful to a new level. Create an unforgettable event with this combination!


If you dont care for our rustic lanterns, try white ones! These add charm while still remaining elegant!




Vintage colors, but refined florals and accents make this an unforgettable moment!


Gold is that color that instantly separates rustic vintage from refined vintage!





Thank you so much for taking a look! If you see anything you like or are interested in using the Attic for your rental needs, let us know! If you like what you see in the way of event and wedding designing, take a look at our sister company, Alisa Lewis Event & Design

Happy Tuesday!

Our Photo Booth Wall

Photo Booths are on the agenda today and we're excited to introduce some cute ideas!

Photo booths are a popular way to engage your guests and make your wedding personal and fun! 

Here at the Attic we have a photo booth wall you can rent, or we can build something for you!


Here are a few pieces from the Attic, where we created a beautiful lounge area for guests to sit, and it provides endless photo possibilities!




Pinwheels are a great item to use for cute decor and also as a photo background! 
We found these pinwheels from Anthropologie'e bridal line, BHLDN, and we absolutely love them! Obviously this is definitely something you and your bridesmaids can work on over some "girl" time, but if you're short on time, check out BHLDN. 






Below is a picture of our new photo wall, that is available for rent! This is a fun addition to add as a way for your guests to engage and also a great alternative to a guest book! Let your guests take a pic, write a small message and add it to a blank book!


Here is another backdrop handcrafted by the Attic! This can also be used as a backdrop for your ceremony! Add a few details that are special to you to make it more personal on your special day!


There are so many more possibilities when it comes to photo back grounds, and it's a new efficient alternative to a guest book. Not to mention, photo strips are a great and engaging way to look back and see your guests along side of you with a wide smile on your faces! 

Like the idea of a photo background for you wedding? Contact us for the 2 we have available or a custom designed backdrop just for you!

Photo by Rebecca Hollis Photography

Well, this is the conclusion to our 2 part blog on alternative seating! This post, we are going to highlight the possibilities using mismatched vintage chairs, hay bales, and our handcrafted Farm Table benches. Hopefully The Attic will inspire ideas and properly show you the dynamic uses of each alternative! Happy reading!

Mismatched Vintage Chairs

Here at The Attic, we have an endless variety of mismatched, vintage chairs. Some of these chairs boast vintage fabrics, some a shabby chic white, and other boast a natural wood. Regardless, you're sure to find the perfect collection of chairs for your special day! Mismatched chairs bring a sophisticated yet chic feel to your wedding environment. Not only are the chairs adorable together, but you can also mix our chairs with our traditional church pews or Farm Table benches. Take a look at a few of our vintage chairs and how we used them!

Hay Bales

Hay Bales are a country chic way to add your special day! What's so great about hay bales is that they are like blank slates; you can customize them to your wedding theme! Just take cute blankets, quilts, textiles, etc and place them on top of the bales to tie in any color or pattern! What's also great about hay bales, is that they are green! After the wedding, donate them to a local farmer! Take a look at some of the ideas we found and liked and let us know if you're interested in using hay bales for your event or special day! There are endless possibilities!



Farm Table Benches

These benches are custom made by The Attic. This special collection took elbow grease and was made with lots of love! Our Farm Table set seats 200+ guests! These benches are beautiful and the lovely dark wood will add to any theme. These benches can also be mixed with chairs! Take a look at this incredible and beautiful collection!
