Decor - Work in Progress

From researching, cutting and pasting a concept board to sitting with decor suppliers, some crazy some not so crazy :) I loved taking the time to be apart of each and every element that went into making each setting perfect.

The first two images were the "in progress" shots I took in the build up to getting my perfect setting. Rearranging the flowers, swopping table clothes, adding candles, taking away candles - a lot of craziness.

In the build up I quickly learnt that the wedding industry is a dirty one - suppliers out there only see "$" signs when a bride walks through the door. If you don't take the time to assess exactly what you are paying for, you may find that you have probably just contributed the start up capital to your own decor company!

Its important to build relationships, check references, and get more than one quote. A great tip is to research the cost of owning the elements you are hiring. I did that and as a result bought many of the elements I would of hired and now have the opportunity to hire them out too!

The main thing is to enjoy the process and remember that it may be costly to have everything you want to make your wedding amazing but just be sure what you are getting is worth the money you will be spending!

Happy planning!
