Instagram vs. Reality for decor budget when your planning your wedding

Instagram vs. Reality: The Décor Budget Edition

✨ Instagram: A dreamy tablescape dripping in florals, custom linens, luxury tableware, endless candles, and bespoke stationery. Pure perfection.

💸 Reality: Behind every stunning setup is a thoughtful budget that balances vision with intention.

🌸 Florals: Lush blooms and cascading arrangements create that “wow” factor, but the type of flowers, seasonality, and scale heavily influence the cost.

🪑 Furniture: Custom chairs, unique lounge pieces, and statement tables set the tone for your reception but come with a rental price tag.

🕯️ Candleware: Layers of candles add warmth and ambiance, but the cost of holders, types of candles, and quantities can quickly add up.

📜 Day-of Stationery: Personalized menus, place cards, and signage elevate the experience but require design, printing, and sometimes specialty materials.

🍽️ Tableware: Luxurious plates, flatware, and glassware bring sophistication to your tablescape but involve rental costs for each guest.

🩶 Linens: High-quality, textured, or custom-colored linens tie the design together but may cost more than standard options.

Your wedding design doesn’t have to break the bank to feel luxurious.

Prioritize what truly makes your heart sing, and let your planner guide you to the perfect mix of style and spend.

Dream big, but budget smarter.
