1. Save Yourself Time
There’s no denying that wedding planning takes time. A lot of time. On average, couples take between 12 and 14 months to plan their wedding, some take even longer! When you combine this with everything else going on a daily basis, wedding planning can become incredibly stressful fast. This is where hiring a wedding decorator comes into play! Save yourself not only time but stress too by hiring a wedding decorator. A wedding decorator can plan out every small detail of your wedding decorations to help you create your dream wedding. This way you can focus on all the other aspects of your wedding that require your attention!
2. Stick to Your Budget
Believe it or not, hiring a wedding decorator is not as expensive as you may think. Wedding decorators are pros at what they do! This means they know how to work within a budget. As long as you are clear about what you can afford, your wedding decorator will respect this! They can help you to prioritise what’s most important to you for your wedding decorations and help avoid unnecessary expenses. Wedding decorators are also great at helping you to save money while still creating the wedding of your dreams.
3. Knowledge & Experience
Never underestimate the importance of knowledge and experience! For you, planning and creating your perfect wedding doesn’t happen every day, but for wedding decorators, it does! Wedding decorators have endless experience when it comes to making your big day as special as possible. They know what elements are crucial to include, and the non-important ones you can leave out. Wedding decorators also have so much knowledge when it comes to hiring vendors. They know which vendors and companies are good to work with and which aren’t. This insight will take away the risk of hiring a dodgy vendor and help eliminate the possibility of something going wrong. Hiring an experienced and knowledgeable decorator will mean that your wedding day will run as smoothly as possible! You’ll also end up saving yourself so much time and money!
4. Personalised
Adding personal touches to your wedding décor is the perfect way to make your wedding more memorable. This is another factor your wedding decorator can help you with! If you want to make your wedding represent your relationship, a wedding decorator can help you to bring your unique vision to life. Ideas from both you and your partner can be discussed and achieved through the help of your decorator!
5. Consistency
One of the hardest things to get right when it comes to event, party, and wedding decorating is consistency. If you have a theme or style picked out for your wedding, you want to make sure each element follows this so that nothing looks out of place. This is where a wedding decorator comes in! They can make sure all your decorations and styling items work well together and are consistent with your chosen theme/style. This will mean that everything at your wedding from your lighting to your table linens will be consistent!
6. Blank Canvas
Chosen a venue that is completely plain and empty? Not to worry, transforming blank spaces into beautiful wedding ceremonies and receptions is what wedding decorators do best! They can take a blank canvas and bring it to life using colours, design, styling products, and everything in between. Wedding decorators are also pros at maximising the space they have. They can work with the space they are given, however big or small, to create the wedding setup of your dreams! Using décor and styling products, they can create a beautiful atmosphere that you and your guests will love.
7. Schedule
On the day of your wedding, timing is everything. Making sure everything happens at the right time is crucial for making the day run smoothly. Because of this, it’s important to have a schedule in place (and to follow it)! Wedding decorators are pros when it comes to following a schedule. This means they’ll be able to make sure everything you need for your decorating and styling will be delivered, installed, and packed up at the right time.
8. Savings
As you’re probably well aware, getting married is expensive! With so many factors to consider, the price can add up quickly. Because of this, you’re going to want to save money wherever you can. This is where having an experienced and well-connected Wedding Decorator comes in handy. Working in the wedding and events industry has many perks. One of those is supplier discounts! Wedding Decorators work with heaps of different vendors and companies on a daily basis and are very well connected. This means they can often secure a discount for you. If you can score discounts on some of your vendors, think about how much money you could save! You can use this money for other aspects of your wedding planning.
9. Creativity
Decorating is not always easy; it takes a lot of creativity, organisation, and patience to get it right! If you’re not the craftiest person in the world, hiring someone else to take the reins on your wedding decorating might be the answer to your problems. Using their skills and expertise, a wedding decorator can do all the hard work for you. All you need to do is communicate your ideas and vision to them. A wedding decorator can also come up with exciting suggestions that you might not have even considered! They can create a beautiful ceremony and/or reception setup for your wedding and you can dedicate more time to the other aspects of your planning.
10. Your Experience
As we mentioned earlier, your wedding is not something that comes around every day! It’s a special and memorable occasion, and you, therefore, want it to be the best day possible. It’s also about more than just one day. You spend months, maybe even years, thinking about and planning your wedding. The build-up is just as important as the big day, so you want to make sure you enjoy the entire experience. This is where your Wedding Decorator comes in. They understand the importance of your experience and they will do everything they can to make sure your day is perfect.
