Our story

Collected, not catalogued.

Emilue started with a simple idea: that renting beautiful things for your day should feel as personal and collected as the day itself without breaking the bank or filling homes with decor that may only use once. By offering beautiful, affordable rentals, I hope to make wedding planning a little less stressful, more budget-friendly, and full of special moments.

Today we bring dried and faux florals, ceremony backdrops, and decor to weddings and gatherings across Eastern Iowa — from backyard showers to barn receptions for two hundred. Every piece is hand-selected, cared for, and styled with intention.

We’d love to hear what you’re planning.

What we believe

  • Warm & textured

    Natural materials, earthy colors, and a little bit of wild — never stiff or overly matched.

  • Thoughtfully reused

    Dried and faux florals and well-loved decor mean less waste and more beauty, event after event.

  • Personal from start to finish

    You'll work with the same person from your first message to the last candle we pack up.
