I hope this calculation helps you to plan your wedding décor budget. Of course, everything depends on the flower choice and abundance, the number of tables, labour time, and many little things.
Please, respect this information and don’t use it to bargain with another designer. I shared it to save you time and stress just because I understand how consuming the biggest party in your life might be. After all:
“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. And great things are not accidental, but must certainly be willed.”
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Blessings & Hugs
