Dax & Bo DIY Decor Co. was born from one simple thought: Why buy everything for just one day?

Watching friends and family plan weddings — and now helping decorate my sister’s — I kept noticing the same cycle. Hours and dollars spent gathering all the little details — votives, signs, table numbers, centerpiece fillers... all the finishing touches that make a celebration feel personal and beautiful.

And then? The day ends, and suddenly everyone’s staring at bins of decor wondering, “What do we do with all this?”

Cue the classic Facebook listing: “Only used once!” — hoping to get back a fraction of what was spent.

I saw it happen again and again — even during my own boys’ themed birthday parties. So much love and effort went into making those moments memorable… like my oldest son’s Winnie the Pooh first birthday, complete with a personalized Hundred Acre Wood sign and every detail thought through — only to have all that décor sit unused afterward.

I’ve always loved making events feel thoughtful — sometimes a bit too thoughtful. But I also believe you shouldn’t have to buy (and store... and try to resell) a garage full of decor to get that feeling.

That’s when I realized how much easier it could be if affordable event decor rentals were available right here in Minnesota.

That’s why I started Dax & Bo: to offer DIY-friendly event decor rentals based in Otsego, Minnesota that make styling your celebration easy, affordable, and just as special — without the cost or clutter. Whether you’re planning a wedding, shower, birthday, or any event, I’m here to help you skip the clutter — not the vision.

Style doesn’t have to come with stress (or stuff you’ll never use again). With Dax & Bo, decorating is simple, affordable, and personal — because you don’t need to own every detail. You just need access to the right ones.

I’m not a full-service planner or designer — just someone who genuinely loves helping people pull a look together.

With personalized decor rentals, local pickup or delivery, and transparent pricing, I make event styling simple and affordable.

Because it’s all about your vision, I focus on providing the essential decor pieces to make your event feel special—without the extra cost or clutter of buying it yourself. That means I don’t provide floral arrangements, event setup, or takedown services—helping keep things cost-effective and giving you the freedom to really do it your way.
