1. Decorator, florist, wedding designer: who does what?
The florist focuses on the flowers. The decorator (or wedding designer) conceives the overall scenography: entrance, floor plan, lighting, furniture, signage, backdrop. On ambitious weddings, the two work hand in hand. Check the exact scope before signing.
2. The budget for a complete decoration
A complete decoration package averages between €2,000 and €10,000 depending on the scale of the scenography, the lighting design and the decor. The price mainly depends on the level of customization and the surface area to dress. Ask for a detailed quote broken down category by category rather than a lump-sum package.
3. A decorator for a multicultural wedding
If your wedding brings two cultures together, choose a decorator comfortable with your aesthetic codes (North African, Indian, African decor, and so on). A good professional will know how to blend the worlds tastefully rather than simply placing them side by side. Look at their portfolio to check that they have already handled atmospheres close to yours.
4. The questions to ask
- Are setup and teardown included, and at what time do you arrive?
- Is the furniture and are the props rented or bought, and who handles breakage?
- Do you work with specific venues and florists, or do you adapt to mine?
- Can you propose an inspiration board before I commit?
