Decor Hire and Styling

You should start looking for a wedding decorator 7 to 9 months ahead of your wedding. Some of the most sought after decorators are booked well in advance, so the earlier the better. Depending on your choice of decorations, suppliers may need time to source everything in advance.

The primary decorative elements you can expect your decorator to provide include: table and chairs, table centrepieces, placecards and other stationery such as the seating chart, floral decor for the ceremony and reception, candles and fairy lights, and petals or confetti to toss after the ceremony. Some decorators leave the floral arrangements to the florists or work with trusted florists, so it's an important aspect to clarify beforehand.

With the plethora of wedding aesthetics to choose from, choosing the right wedding decor can seem like an overwhelming task. Lucky for you, decorators and florists are experienced when it comes to helping couples choose the right style and elements to complete the look of their wedding. Think first about your own personal style and what you'd like to reflect through your wedding - classic, contemporary, modern, artistic, floral, boho chic, bohemian, artisan - these are just a few styles you can base your wedding decor on.

Yes, most decorators will be able to offer you a few wedding package options to suit your specific decor needs. We highly recommend that you arrange an in-person meeting with any decorator you're interested in hiring to iron out all the details and make sure you're going to get exactly what you expect. It's ideal if the decorator can show you photos of their work; styles that reflect that look you're going for.
