Here at Event Hire we admire the DIY Bride. The prospect of planning and styling your own wedding day can be a daunting task. That’s why we have a huge range of props, products, accessories, and décor available for you to hire to help you style your own wedding!
Don’t worry about having to do everything yourself, if you need us, our specialist event staff can be on hand to help set up rooms, install lighting, dancefloors, room décor and much more. We’ve compiled some of our top DIY wedding tips and tricks to help get you started!
We’ve all seen those seemingly easy ‘how to’ videos online where it’s bish-bash-bosh and you have something beautifully quaint and totally original. We always think “Pfft, I can do that!” and it says it’s made with things you seemingly have just lying around the house, like some cotton wool, a blow torch, nana’s dentures, your childhood blanket and last year’s tax returns. It almost never turns out like the picture you saw on Pinterest, so be realistic in your abilities.
If it takes you several hours to make something that you need twenty of, and you don’t have a trusty team of arts and crafts professionals as your bridesmaids to help you, it’s probably not worth it.
Just keep it simple and play to your strengths. Jam jars wrapped in hessian or lace to use as little rustic vases or give new life to an old dresser with a lick of paint and use it to host your place cards or candy buffet. Old pallets can be used in all kinds of ways too; turn them in to benches, furniture or even a rustic cake stand!
Got a nifty aunt or crafty cousin? Get them involved! Don’t think you have to do everything yourself. More often than not friends and family are more than happy to help out and it takes some of the stress off you. Don’t forget to sign them up to help on the day too!
When looking at prospective venues for your celebration, see what is included in the package deals as far as linen, furniture and décor are concerned. Not every venue will have these included! Some have in-house centrepieces that you could use like candelabras. These could easily be dressed by you with the addition of some flower or pearl garlands.
Your wedding is one of the biggest moments of your life and at times it’s going to get stressful and you can feel like you’ve taken too much on. Especially if you’re doing it all by yourself. At Qube we understand this, which is why we offer lots of our styling props and products to you to hire for your special day. Whatever it is, big or small, we’re happy to help. You don’t need to book a big package or be spending big bucks to enjoy the professional, quality services and products we provide.
If you’ve sorted all your décor but don’t want your family and friends setting it all up on the day then you can hire us to come in and do it for you! We pride ourselves on our bespoke, tailored service that suits every individual brides’ needs and brings your wedding to life. Get more information on how we can help on your special day.

Very helpful and gave great advice with a massive range of items to make our wedding special and look amazing
Mr Alex Fraser
Out of 10, Qube are an 11 on all fronts... :) Qube planned the entire wedding, which included 2 venues (synagogue followed by a 300-person dinner and dancing). Not only were the room designs and dressing for both venues sensational but the event went by seamlessly, with Debbie managing every element of the day to perfection. Couldn't have asked for a better day and, thanks to Debbie and Qube Events, even facebook friends who weren't there are stopping me to say how amazing it looked!
Mr Oz Shtrosberg
Debbie was great to work with, she really understood our vision and how to translate it into a beautiful wedding. The room was so beautiful it took our breath away and everyone commented on how gorgeous it was, it really captured the ambience we wanted for our special day.
Mrs Lucy Bolton (Glynn)
Qube Events is exceptional. Our room looked amazing, all of our guest commented on the centrepieces and decor. Debbie and the teams planned everything to to precision to ensure the day was absoluteky perfect.
Mrs Sharon Niven
Debbie from Qube was fantastic from start to finish, she understood exactly what we wanted and the finished venue looked even better than we imagined. Communication was great and everything was done very professionally, it really took a lot of the stress out of the day.
Mrs Helen Coleclough (Morris)
3 months later and I am still recommending Qube Events to anyone that will listen! Debbie and her team are amazing and provide a gold standard service. They are flexible and can tailor their services to fit your requirements and budget. Debbie had so many ideas to share, and always found solutions to problems we faced. She can help you realise your dream 'look' working to whatever your limitations are (budget/room constraints). The room looked so beautiful and she did so much more than I asked
Mrs Tanya Solomons
Very professional, good understanding of our vision and needs for the day. Worked tirelessly through the day. Managed difficult outside suppliers and made the day run smoothly from start to finish, successfully masking the failings of our caterers. Made the ceremony room look phenomenal. Left us with some fabulous photographs and memories. Thanks to Debbie for all her hard work!
Mrs Parina Goricha
Debbie and the team at Qube did the most amazing job dressing my venue and providing my bouquets. They were so helpful and it was no problem at all when i needed to make a few changes. The room was exactly how i had pictured it and had so many comments from the guests. Fantastic company
Mrs Jodie Hogarth (Alexander)
Debbie and her team did an outstanding job. We were overwhelmed with just how stunning the venue looked and the attention to detail was incredible.
Mrs Dalya Shtrosberg (Goldstone)
Qube events and the team were expeditional from start to finish and even with my crazy bride ideas and requests and constant worrying! I was totally reassured and every email, text and phone call was answered. The day itself was amazing and very guest commented on the styling of the venue and how perfect it looked.
Mrs Paula Watson (Megitt)
When I started to plan my wedding from America I knew the wedding stylist I worked with would have a lot on their hands. I was planning my whole wedding from America that was going to take place in Manchester. I knew the stylist and I had to be on the same page as me. They had to be patient with me and work weird times of the day to make up for the time difference. I got the perfect wedding and more from Qube. Debbie and Heather did an amazing job and they listened to what I wanted.
Mrs Sunjee Dootson (Lee)
Qube Events provided the decor for my 7 day wedding. Being their first Asian wedding they far exceeded my expectations. My guests, including the priest were dazzled by the mandap they had created for me. The team had gone through the effort of building a mock up of each part of my decor for all the events at their warehouse. Nothing was ever too much for them. They were even helping on other aspects of the wedding which were not their responsibility. All the decor was spot on!!
Mrs Tulsi Shah (Pindolia)
My room looked amazing -thank you :
Mrs Kimberley Morris
Qube events were the suppliers of my room decorations and centrepieces at my wedding, I first contacted Qube events months in advance from my wedding they were so kind, considerate and helpful. They always replied to my messages/emails promptly. They made sure everything was perfect for my wedding even down to the smallest of little details they thought of things even I couldn't of imagines their work is so amazing and I can't praise them enough for what they did for me! I couldn't fault them.
Mrs Emily Holmes (Wood)
Debbie at Qube events and her team were amazing. Made our day one to remember. Best events company ever. Have recommended Qube to everyone.
