I can go on and on about this fabulous rental company, however I really want to bring your attention to their one of a kind table for ten. Yes, I said ten. If you do not believe me, then have seat, grab a nice cold lemonade and take a look.
Girari’s signature glass table is the Penta. There is no other table in the event industry like the Penta. What is so amazing is that this table seats ten, and has a “table within a table”. The seating is designed so couples can sit together, with table legs spaced for comfort.
The Alta banquet chair is the most comfortable chair in the event industry as it has a build in lumbar support, and changeable seat cushions.

BHL Vendor Hot Pick: Found Vintage Rentals
I know sometimes when Monday’s roll around, it is really hard to get going and start the week off. I mean, you have to say goodbye to the weekend, and hello to a work week. But when you have a fabulous new vendor added to our “Vendor Hot Picks”, Monday just became my favorite day of the week. I am talking about a vendor who seriously knows how to impress. One that has me swooning over all the amazing details they have to offer. All courtesy of Found Vintage Rentals. I had the pleasure of visiting the fantastic warehouse where all the magical genius happens. I was so enraptured by all the charming and inspiring details, I could not turn my eyes away. I did not want to miss one single item. But I know I did…there was THAT many fabulous things that had my vintage loving heart swooning the whole time. I have to admit…I kind of wanted to sneak and hide behind one of the lovely couches and live there. If I could. Yep, that is how much I am in love with Found Vintage Rentals.
I have always been a huge fan of vintage, but after today, I will forever be a fan of Found Vintage Rentals. Oh, you will see why in a second when you browse through all the gorgeousness.
