Passion Perspective Interview- Forever Vintage Rentals

Today we will take you on the journey of Forever Vintage Rentals…..
We asked Rhonda and Cara a series of questions about their original passion…..
How did Forever Vintage Rentals developed into a business?.
“We are passionate about weddings. We love all things vintage. But even more, it does our heart’s SO good to invest into the lives of each of our brides. We are blessed to be able to live out our passion and be a part in creating the day of their dreams.”
How and when did  this passion begin?
“The summer of 2011. We decorated Rhonda’s daughters wedding with vintage items from our homes. Vintage doors, windows, bottles, suitcases and anything else we could find. Cara’s daughter owns a wedding planning business in San Diego. She was planning her own wedding in 2012 and had a vision for farm tables, mismatch china, chandeliers, ladders, hutches and buffets surrounded by architectural pieces from the past. She convinced her dad & uncle to build farm tables for her wedding and promised that she would have them rented if we would start a rental business. At the time, she was in close contact with First Vintage Rental Company in So Cal. She was relentless in persuading us to set the trend for Nor Cal; hence Forever Vintage was born.”
What steps did you take to make it a reality?
“Within a month we had decided to do just that. We decided on a few potential names and put it up for a family vote. Rhonda went to work shooting pictures of everything we could possibly find to start our inventory. Our website was designed and we continued purchasing. Farm Tables were built… and rented within a month.”   
What sets Forever Vintage Rentals apart from other wedding rental companies?

“Authenticity of our product– we specialize in truly antique and vintage pieces for our inventory. We believe if a bride is going to rent, it should not be something she can DIY or purchase at the local home store.”
Level of Service-We are vested into each of our brides and believe our role is one to come alongside and carry the burden of what can often be an overwhelming part of their celebration. We rent, style and deliver so the family can relax and enjoy their special day.”

What makes Forever Vintage Rentals special?
“I think the combination of personalities and strengths you get when working with both of us.

Cara is a visionary and loves to brainstorm creative ideas for repurposing and staging the inventory. She has relied on her background in home design to play a role in venue lay outs and architectural design. She has an obsession for vintage finds, a great business sense, and she loves primitive and rustic decor.
Rhonda’s strengths come from her experience as a wedding photographer. She captures the inventory on film and is constantly updating our social media. She is the ultimate curator of all things vintage and has a beautiful eye for detail in our designs. Our styled shots are a tribute to her tremendous work.
We both LOVE working with the clients and the design aspect of the business is our favorite.”

Here are a few of the spectacular pieces they have in their inventory.
