Few rental items make as immediate an impact as a set of well-placed pillars. Whether you're lining a ceremony aisle, flanking a sweetheart table, or creating a grand entrance, Roman pillars and pedestal columns add an architectural elegance that's hard to achieve with florals alone.
Types of Pillars Available
At E&C Event Rentals, we carry two primary styles of pillars for wedding and event rentals in the Salem, OR area.
Roman Pillars are the classic choice — tall, fluted columns with a traditional Greco-Roman profile. We offer them in three heights: 72 inches, 48 inches, and 36 inches. They're most commonly used in pairs to frame ceremony altars, create aisle markers, or anchor a backdrop installation.
Pleated Metal Pedestal Columns offer a more contemporary look with a sleek, pleated metal finish. Available in five heights ranging from approximately 20 to 36 inches, these pedestals work beautifully as display stands for floral arrangements, candles, or decorative objects at reception tables and entryways.
How to Use Pillars at Your Wedding
The most popular uses for rental pillars in the Willamette Valley include ceremony aisle markers, altar framing, sweetheart table accents, and entryway installations.
Ceremony aisle markers — Place a pair of Roman pillars at the entrance to your ceremony aisle, topped with floral arrangements or lanterns, to create a dramatic processional moment.
Altar framing — Two tall pillars flanking your officiant create a natural frame for ceremony photos and give the altar a sense of architectural permanence.
Sweetheart table accents — Pedestal columns of varying heights on either side of the sweetheart table add dimension and give your florist elevated surfaces to work with.
Entryway installations — A pair of pillars at the venue entrance sets the tone immediately and makes a strong first impression on guests.
Pairing Pillars with Other Rentals
Pillars work best when combined with other rental elements. Some of our most popular pairings include Roman pillars with ceiling draping for a full ceremony transformation, pedestal columns with ceramic floral urns for a lush garden-inspired reception, and pillars with pipe & drape backdrop for a complete altar installation.
