If you plan an event in Washington DC, Northern Virginia, or Maryland, a floral wall gives your guests a spot for photos and gives your room a clear focal point. You already know that. What you need to know is where to rent one and what to check before you pay a deposit.
I wrote this guide to help you compare your choices. A good floral wall rental company shares its prices, sizes, delivery terms, and rules in plain view. I used those points to judge each option below, and I will explain why Sunrise Rentals is the company I recommend first.
By the end, you will know what to ask, what to compare, and when to book.
What I Look for in a Rental Company
Before I recommend any company, I check the same short list. You can use it too.
- A clear list of wall styles with starting prices
- Wall sizes, so you can match the wall to your space
- Real-looking flowers that photograph well
- Delivery and setup terms that you can read before you book
- A fair deposit and repair policy
- Add-ons such as signs, balloons, and arches
- Reviews that mention professionalism and good communication
If a company cannot answer these points, keep looking.
Your Main Options in the DC Area
Event Décor Rental Companies
These companies focus on backdrops, signs, lighting, and photo setups. They own the walls, deliver them, set them up, and take them down. For most people, this is the easiest path, because one team handles the work.
Florists
Some florists build custom flower walls with fresh blooms. The look can be beautiful, but the cost is often high, and fresh flowers need careful timing. This choice fits a large wedding with a big décor budget.
General Party Rental Stores
Party stores carry tables, chairs, and tents. Some have a basic backdrop. Their selection of floral walls is often small, and the staff may not handle setup. Ask for photos of the exact wall you would receive.
Building Your Own
You can buy silk flowers and a frame and build a wall yourself. This takes many hours, and you must store the wall after the event. For a single event, renting costs less time and less trouble.
Why I Recommend Sunrise Rentals
Sunrise Rentals serves Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC. They focus on creative décor and premium event experiences, and floral walls are a main part of what they offer.
A Wall for Each Color Scheme
Their walls are 3D designs handcrafted from high-quality silk flowers that look real in person and in photos. You can choose from many styles:
- Champagne Wall, starting at $225
- Box Wood Wall, Classic White Floral Wall, Green and Roses Wall, and Garden White Wall, starting at $300
- White and Blush Wall, Hot Pink Floral Wall, and Purple and Mauve Wall, starting at $300
- Sage Green Floral Wall, Blue Floral Wall, and Red Floral Wall, starting at $300
- Disco Wall, starting at $700
Most walls measure 8 feet tall by 10 feet wide, and some measure 8 feet by 8 feet. Most come in two pieces that attach with Velcro in the middle. The white, red, and pink walls come as single pieces.
Arches and Panels
If you want a different shape, they offer the Heart Arch from $480, the Pink Moon Arch from $230, and Eternity Arches from $280 in sizes of 5’11” and 6’10”. The Eden Panels start at $250 and form a four-piece floral runner about 13 feet long. You can match these to a wedding aisle or a ceremony area.
Clear Delivery and Setup Terms
Delivery starts at $180 and covers locations within 20 miles of Sterling, Virginia. Their team handles delivery, setup, and takedown, and setup takes 30 to 40 minutes. Extra charges may apply for late hours, venues with stairs or no parking, and locations past 20 miles. I like that these terms are stated up front.
A Budget Option
If you want to save money, you can pick up a wall and set it up yourself. The kit includes the panels, a heavy-duty frame, sandbags or weights, and instructions. It fits most SUVs and pickup trucks. Give yourself 1 to 1.5 hours for setup. Pickup rentals need a $100 safety deposit, which they return when the wall comes back in good condition.
Add-Ons That Fit the Wall
You can hang neon or wood signs and balloons on the walls. Neon signs start at $150, and the current choices include “Will You Marry Me” and “YOU + ME.” When their team sets up, they hang the signs for you. They also offer photo booths, a 360 video booth, marquee letters, balloon garlands, and a mobile bar. If you need more than one item, one company can cover the list. Clients save 10 percent when they book the mobile bar with a floral wall or other listed items.
Strong Reviews
Their Google listing showed a 5.0 rating across 22 reviews. Reviewers mention professionalism, punctuality, communication, and attention to detail. These are the qualities you want from the people who arrive at your venue.
Terms to Understand Before You Book
Read the policy details for any company you choose. For Sunrise Rentals, here is what to know:
1. A $100 reservation fee holds your date.
2. The balance is due the day before your event.
3. Normal wear and tear is fine, but tears, broken frames, and paint or food stains bring a repair or replacement fee.
4. You can use the walls outdoors on level ground if the weather allows. Strong wind or rain may require an indoor backup.
When to Book
They recommend booking four to eight weeks ahead. Weekends and peak wedding season fill first, so I suggest you lean toward eight weeks or more for those dates.
My Final Advice
Choose a company that shows you its prices, sizes, and rules, and that handles delivery without confusion. Sunrise Rentals meets those standards, and their range of wall styles gives you room to match your colors and your budget.
