Lily & Poppy Event Rentals - wedding rentals - Santa Monica, California

How did you get your start in the wedding industry?

We actually started out in the world of set design — creating bold, eye-catching looks for commercials, music videos, and campaigns for brands like Netflix, Missoni, Coca-Cola, and Instagram. After years of designing for the camera, we realized there was a serious lack of fun, modern, and stylish rental options in the wedding world. So, we took our design know-how and love for color and creativity, and brought it into the event space. Now, we help couples create weddings that feel just as editorial and unforgettable as a big brand shoot — but totally personal to them.

Couples hire you because…

Couples hire us because we bring a fresh, modern twist to wedding decor. Unlike traditional rental companies, our designs are vibrant, stylish, and Instagram-worthy — perfect for couples who want their celebration to feel unique, personalized, and unforgettable. We specialize in high-quality artificial floral rentals, modern furniture, and one-of-a-kind decor elements that enhance the look of any venue without the stress or waste of fresh florals. Our clients love that we’re easy to work with, design-driven, and always thinking outside the box to make their vision come to life.

What aspect of your job never ceases to give you butterflies or make you excited?

It’s 100% seeing the couple’s faces light up when they walk into their space for the first time — that moment when everything comes together and you can literally feel their excitement. It never gets old. Watching guests walk in, take photos, and say “wow” makes all the hard work so worth it. Being part of someone’s happiest day and knowing we helped create that magic? Total butterflies, every time.
