Wedding Planning and Decorating
Couples who work with us tell us that they appreciate how we listen carefully, think creatively, problem-solve quickly, and always, always, always stay calm....which enables them stay calm, too!
Unlike many planners and stylists who rely on a number of other vendors to bring a wedding to life, we have a large collection of our own decorative items (everything from wedding arches and display furniture to flameless votives and vases) and can usually style a small- or medium-sized event, including florals, without needing you to contract with other vendors. This lowers the cost of decorating your wedding and eliminates the stress of interviewing, selecting, negotiating contracts with and coordinating the activities of multiple vendors. That said, if you have your heart set on working with a particular florist or love the tablecloths provided by a particular linen supplier, we are happy to coordinate with them on your behalf.
Couples have fun exploring our Baltimore showroom where they can see our decorative items in person, look at samples of our work, let their imagination run free and experiment with various decorating themes or combinations until we achieve the look they want.
Our services include full or partial wedding planning, full or partial wedding styling (decorating), month-of coordination, day-of coordination and "just rentals" for DIY couples whose friends and family have volunteered for set-up and clean-up duties.
We are happy to provide a quote or information about packages, but first we need to know how large your wedding and wedding party will be, which venues you are considering, what services you are likely to need, your budget range, and any thoughts you have on color schemes and wedding themes. If's fine if you haven't made final decisions about any of these things. We will work together to develop a final plan, but we need some basic guidelines in order to prepare an initial quote.
If you have no idea what a reasonable budget looks like for wedding styling and decorating services, we can give you some guidance. For small weddings, our clients typically have a planning/styling/decorating budget of between $700 and $2000, and for medium weddings, our clients generally budget between $3500 and $5000 (including all decorations, set-up and take-down and full wedding florals, using faux flowers or a combination of fresh and faux flowers). Note that if you plan to use all fresh flowers and greenery, you can expect the cost of decorating to double or triple, and once you start hanging things from the ceiling (a la the average Pinterest photo), costs escalate considerably....and not just when working with us! That said, we have clever ways to create the look of Pinterest extravaganzas in more cost-effective ways.
We love weddings and would be honored to be a part of your special day!
