Wedding Storage

Love is in the air.....well it certainly is online! News Feeds, Twitter accounts and Instagrams around the world are filling with pictures of beautiful weddings - from the formal married couple shots, to the more candid evening and photobooth snaps. 

As well as posting wedding photos, social media outlets are also increasingly being used to announce engagements. Once an engagement is announced, the planning and preparing soon gets underway (although many brides to be will admit they have been planning since they were little girls!).

With the cost of weddings increasing, many couples are getting creative, and resourcing the wedding "props" themselves. A year ago a friend of mine got engaged and set a date for this summer - the time from engagement to wedding was spent making as many things as she could - from bunting to table centrepieces. By doing it herself she was able to keep a closer eye on the wedding budget and the wedding had a much more personal feel - perfect for my friend and her new husband. 

While making your own things sounds a great idea, it is understandable that some couples prefer just to hand it over to someone else to organise. Making and collecting your wedding items can be time consuming, and also space consuming when those items are stored at home. 

At Cube Self Storage, we offer engaged couples the perfect solution - our self storage units are ideal for storing your wedding items, leaving your home "wedding storage" free. 

Table Decorations

Depending on your theme, creating your own centrepieces add that personal touch. Storing these delicate items in storage will keep them protected until they are needed for fresh flowers to be added.

 Photo Booths
  
For lots of occasions, photo booths are increasingly popular. While the professional ones can be expensive to hire (particularly if your wedding budget is small) more and more people are creating their own. Collecting props for these booths can take up a lot of space at home, so why not use a self storage unit to keep everything in one place?

Should I get a Self Storage unit?

Are you a bargain hunter? Do you shop online or use Ebay to buy and sell? Do you scour the weekend boot sales looking for a bargain?

Many of us would list shopping as a favourite past time. With shops and online companies offering frequent promotions, it is often hard to resist. The result? Our homes are filling up with more and more items, limiting the space we once had. 

With space becoming limited, lots of people are turning to self storage to help ease the pressure from their homes. 

If you think self storage could be the answer for you, read our Top Tips to help you make a decision. 

Self Storage Top Tips

 

What To Store

 

It is easy to simply box up your belongings and stick them in self storage. However, doing this creates the risk of not knowing what you have stored, storing things you don't actually need and therefore wasting some of your much needed storage space.  Before self storing, go through your belongings to work out what is worth keeping and what can be sold/got rid of. Also consider seasonal items - do you really need to store Halloween/Christmas items in your house all year round? Once you have agreed on the items you are going to store, why not try and box similar items together to make identification at the self storage unit that much easier.  

Our online Box Store has all the boxes and packing materials you will need, and we even offer Box Packages so you don't just have to buy boxes individually.

Medium Movers pack  - just one of our packages at www.cubeselfstorage.co.uk

 Cost

 

At Cube Self Storage we have a range of unit sizes to suit your needs, including Climate Controlled Storage Units for specialist items. This is why sorting your items prior to storing is so important - once you know exactly what you want to store you have a better idea of the right size unit for you, with no wasted space (or being charged for unused space). View our Storage Unit Size Guide to work out what is best for you. If you are still unsure, contact a member of our friendly team to arrange a viewing of our units. We also offer a Price Promise - if you like our storage units but have had a cheaper quote elsewhere - we will beat it!

Timeline

 

Your items are sorted, boxed and ready to go. You know which size unit to get to suit your needs, so now there is one thing left to decide on: TIME. 

For some people self storage is temporary - between house moves, storing things for a wedding etc, but there are many people that use self storage on a longer term basis. 

Try and have a clear focus for how long your things will be in storage - this will help you budget for storage rental costs. Of course, there are times where our plans change and our storage unit hire duration needs to be extended- our team will be happy to discuss this with you. 

We hope these tips have been useful. If you would like to find out more visit our website www.cubeselfstorage.co.uk or call a member of our team on

Happy Self Storing!
