10 Common Struggles (And How We Fix Them)
Let’s be real. You thought picking your wedding décor would be the fun part, right? The dreamy, creative, exciting and romantic stuff. But instead? It’s become a source of stress, endless decision making, and way too many late night Pinterest and Instagram scrolls. You’re not alone and almost every wedding couple we work with says the same thing.
So if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what will actually look amazing on your big wedding day don’t panic. Here are the most common decorating pain points couples face when choosing wedding decorations (plus how Feel Good Events helps make them disappear).
1. Planning and Decision Fatigue
The problem: You’re making a million wedding decisions — guest lists, menus, outfits, schedules and wedding décor is just one more thing on the never ending to do list.
How we help: At Feel Good Events, we simplify the entire styling process for you. From concept to creation, our team handles all the little decisions so you don’t have to. We give you clear options based on your style, venue, and budget and not 400 different chairs to choose from. Less stress, more “done for you”.
2.Overwhelmed by too many style choices
The problem: Boho? Modern luxe? Garden party? Rustic style? There are too many styles, and they all look good in different ways.
How we help: Instead of throwing more options at you, we help you narrow it down based on what suits your venue, your personality, and the wedding vibe you want your guests to feel. We don’t just offer everything, we suggest what is going to work best for you.
3. Don’t know where to start with the design
The problem: You know you want your wedding to look “wow”… but where do you even begin?
How we help: We start with a simple conversation. We ask the right questions to understand what you like (and what you don’t). We then use our years of wedding decorating experience to guide you through the styling journey from start to finish. No guessing, no overwhelm, just clarity.
4. You keep second guessing every decision
The problem: You picked the flowers… but are they too bright? You chose gold cutlery… but should it be silver? Everything feels uncertain.
How we help: With us, you get expert guidance every step of the way. You’ll always have a sounding board and a pro to confirm you’re on the right track or suggest better alternatives. We bring the confidence so you don’t have to keep questioning everything.
5. Struggling to visualise the end result
The problem: You can’t see how it will all come together, which makes it hard to commit to anything.
How we help: We create visual mood boards, mock-ups, and floor plans tailored to your venue and chosen style. You’ll see the design before it’s installed, so you know exactly what you’re getting and no surprises on the day.
6. Lack of a cohesive theme or style
The problem: You like a bit of rustic… a touch of glam… and maybe something tropical too? But how do you tie it all together?
How we help: Our expert stylists help you find a unifying look that feels like you, while still matching the venue and being polished. We’re masters at mixing and matching décor elements that flow beautifully together, even if your ideas feel all a bit all over the place.
7. Can’t agree with partner or family on design
The problem: You want elegant romance. They want quirky fun. Your mum wants something classic. This usually mean chaos.
How we help: We’re your neutral design guide. We listen to everyone’s opinions and find a styling direction that pleases (almost) everyone, but most importantly, feels right for you as a couple. We’ll help you navigate the “people politics” without compromising your dream wedding look.
8. Pinterest overload = Inspiration Paralysis
The problem: You’ve saved 172 pins… and now you have no idea what to do with any of them.
How we help: We’ll review your inspiration, pick out the strongest ideas, and turn them into one cohesive styling concept that’s realistic for your venue and budget. Think of us as your Pinterest-to-reality translator.
9. Don’t know what works well together
The problem: That velvet couch looks amazing online, but does it clash with your table linen? What even goes with festoon lights?
How we help: We’ve styled hundreds of weddings and know what combinations work in real life and not just in edited Instagram photos. We’ll recommend wedding décor items and lighting that enhance each other, creating a balanced, high impact design.
10. Fear of it not turning out as you imagined
The problem: You’re worried the final setup won’t match your expectations or feel as special as you hoped.
How we help: Our decorators are perfectionists, in the best way. From mock ups to on the day styling, we pay attention to every detail to make sure what you imagined is exactly what your guests experience. With Feel Good Events, the “wow” moment is guaranteed.
You Don’t Have to DIY Your Dream Wedding Look
If you’re nodding along to any of these pain points you should know that you don’t have to do it alone. At Feel Good Events, our wedding styling experts will help bring your ideas to life (even the messy, half formed ones). We make the process easy, fun,
and stress free so you can focus on enjoying your big day instead of worrying about colour swatches and candle heights.
