Byron Leversuch is the co-founder of Something Borrowed, a high-end decor rental company based in Mallorca, Spain. Inspired by his wife’s work as a wedding planner, Byron spotted a gap in the market, being that there were few quality decor rental options available for luxury weddings and events on the island. Together, they set out to create a solution that would meet the growing demand for curated event design.
Today, Something Borrowed offers the most extensive collection of high-end decor for weddings and private events in Mallorca. From elegant table settings to custom backdrops and lounge furniture, their products are tailored for discerning customers, including wedding planners, couples, private clients, and corporate event organizers.
Launching and managing the business successfully required more than just great inventory. As Byron puts it, Booqable’s “rental website builder, collections, and translations feature made our business launch with success.” Here’s how they use each of those features in practice.
Designing a high-end rental website with Booqable
Before adopting Booqable, Byron’s team relied on email threads and Microsoft Office to manage their wedding rental business. But that setup quickly became unmanageable. “We had to check online banking to confirm and record payment status, manually input delivery and collection dates into a calendar, and go through quotes and bookings just to check item availability,” he recalls.
With Booqable’s rental website builder, Byron was able to create a polished, professional rental website without writing any code. The process began by choosing a template tailored for rental businesses. From there, he adjusted fonts, colors, and layout to match his brand. Adding content was simple, all he had to do was to drag and drop his images, add product descriptions and pricing, and organize items into collections. He then applied his custom domain, so the website launched fully branded under the Something Borrowed name.
“The whole process of linking payments, automatic calendar updates, quote updates, and stock tracking has been a game changer,” he says.
With the rental website builder in place, the team can:
-
Present a modern, mobile-ready store that showcases their high-end inventory
-
Accept quote requests directly online through the cart, instead of managing email lists
-
Instantly update product availability and prevent double bookings
Booqable turned what was once a manual, scattered process into a professional booking experience for customers and a manageable workflow for Byron’s team.
Guiding customers with curated collections
Offering a large inventory of premium decor means customers need clear guidance when browsing. Early on, Byron noticed that many clients would email general requests or miss essential items simply because they couldn’t visualize how pieces worked together. This led him to use Booqable’s product collections.
Collections let Byron group products into themed categories on his site, each with its own featured image, title, and description. Creating a collection takes just a few steps of selecting the items, defining the title, and setting a visual header for the collection. The impact goes beyond backend improvements.
The collections are then displayed clearly in the site’s main navigation, giving customers a more curated shopping experience. “Wedding planners I work with regularly like the new format of the website,” Byron mentioned.
Collections now help Something Borrowed to:
-
Categorize items by theme or type, so clients can easily navigate their options
-
Inspire customers with visual examples from past events, like using a styled image from a recent wedding as the header of the “Table Decor” collection
-
Suggest complementary items and setups that work well together, improving the quality of requests
By showing how different items can be combined and used in real settings, collections improve the customer journey while reducing the number of follow-up questions Byron receives.
Turning the online store into a wishlist with translations
Instead of using Booqable’s standard checkout for online payments, Byron and his team wanted their wedding rental website to function more like a wishlist. They didn’t want customers to pay upfront, they preferred to receive a quote request first, which they could later confirm and send with payment instructions.
To make this possible, they used Booqable’s translations feature. The terminology on their website was changed to reflect their custom process. They replaced default phrases like “checkout” with “wishlist” and “place order” with “request quote.” This small adjustment, made through the language settings in their Booqable backend, completely shifted the purpose of the online store without requiring any coding or plugins.
They also disabled online payment options on the online checkout. Instead, visitors add items to their wishlist and submit a request. This gives Byron’s team the flexibility to create accurate, tailored quotes behind the scenes before sending a payment link.
The wishlist-based setup now allows them to:
-
Match the store’s wording to the way their business actually works, with no confusion
-
Control the flow of quotes and payments without needing online checkout
-
Give customers a clean, intuitive process that feels personalized
This change also encouraged their clients, especially wedding planners, to use the site for building and sending lists instead of emailing Byron directly with item requests. “We are just trying to encourage them to use the wish list and shopping cart in place of emailing long lists,” he says.
In summary
Since launching with Booqable, Something Borrowed has grown into Mallorca’s go-to provider for luxury event rental decor. Their polished online store, curated collections, and custom wishlist setup all contribute to an experience that matches the quality of their products.
From cutting down on admin tasks to enhancing the customer experience, Booqable has helped Byron and his team build the kind of business they envisioned from the start, where wedding planners and event clients can browse, request, and rent exactly what they need, with confidence.
