Scout Vintage Rental Company, Photographs by Mo Hines Photography
Jenn didn’t start out with the intention of getting into the vintage rental business. She first launched her event design and styling company, ‘Bow Tie & Bustle,’ with the goal of assisting clients in creating memorable events and photo shoots. In this work Jenn frequently found herself suggesting pieces from her personal vintage collection and soon realized it was time to launch her rental business ‘Scout.’ She places a lot of emphasis on encouraging brides and grooms, as well as other clients, to seek out unique décor and details that speak to who they are.

character unmatched by more modern options. The two businesses play off one another well, receiving frequent requests to offer design ideas or styling suggestions in conjunction with the renting of her vintage items. Jenn says she truly loves coming up with the design concepts, throwing in pops of whimsy and adding the unexpected. Jenn shares it was engrained in her at a young age, by her grandmother and mother, to appreciate and cherish the beauty of all things vintage. She has spent years growing her collection and is thrilled to now be able to share it.
