The Wedding Ladder


You or someone you know might have a wedding coming up, and the possibilities and ideas are endless. But you want this day to be different, special, and magical. Here at the Attic, we have rentals that can make it just that. One item that has endless uses and adds endless charm is none other than the simple, ladder. You'd think the rudimentary design of a ladder would lead to little purpose, but the possibilities are not only endless but adorable and one-of-a-kind! We have ladders that you can rent for your special day and look below for cute ways to incorporate them into your wedding decor!

We love the way the tea lights are staggered, illuminating a pathway to either the ceremony or reception! And to personalize this pathway even more, you can adorn the ladder with cute signs, or beautiful floral arrangements!

We love a fun and cute way to direct the guests to either the ceremony or the reception and what's better than with a ladder holding adorable signs pointing the way! We love the large pot with purple flowers, the personalization of the signs and the picture of the couple! This look is so easy to accomplish with a vintage ladder, flowers, and a few personal items from the groom and bride!

Want a creative way to involve your guests in the seating plan process, while keeping your decor chic? Well then, use a couple of ladders, with your string and tag preference, and hang the tags onto the string that draped from one ladder to another! Not only is cute in a very simple way, but it's fun and engaging!

If this isn't the cutest way to display your desserts, we dont know what is!  Add some ruffled cloth below the desserts, a few floral arrangements, and bunting in your colors and your guests are sure to love this perfect display of goodies! Not only is completely easy to create but it's so unique and chic!


Ladders have endless uses and we'd love to brainstorm more on how ladders can work into adding an adorable touch to your wedding day! Contact us for any questions, and we'd be happy to help!

Happy Thursday!

Not Your Usual: Alternatives to an Arbor

It's Thursday! We hope the morning finds you well and refreshed!

Today we're going to take a look at a few alternatives to the traditional arbor. Arbors are a great way to personalize and enhance the spot where you'll be saying your, "I do's" but what if you want something different or a traditional arbor doesn't really fit the theme of your wedding? Well don't you worry, we have a few ideas for you!

Arbor Alternative #1 : Fabric and Ribbon
First off, we love the use of ribbon and fabric. It's the perfect way to soften a large blank space or make a rustic space a little more warm and cozy feeling. The basic idea is to use long pieces of fabric or ribbon that matches your color palette. The collection of these pieces of fabric create this ethereal and soft backdrop, that sets the perfect scene to say your special vows!



We absolutely love the soft and flowy look that the pieces of ribbon an fabric create! We love it even more because there are so many options available as to what ribbon or fabric you can find to perfectly accent your wedding decor. 

We're definitely ready to recreate something like this for one of our lovely brides! Contact us regarding this arbor alternative and we can create the perfect combination for your special day!


Arbor Alternative #2 : Twig Backdrop
Twigs are the perfect backdrop for a rustic and/or country chic wedding! It's the perfect combination of nature and elegance! And you can adorn the twig backdrop with crystals, lights, hanging votives, etc. Not only is it a beautiful alternative, but it's a simple alternative that doesn't steal from your lovely wedding party or gorgeous dress!
