How Much Should You Really Spend For Wedding Flowers and Decorations?

I have been preparing for another wedding to be held outside downtown Davao City. This time the wedding will be held at Loleng's Mountain Spring Resort. It is a beautiful place overlooking the city and high above the hills just before the famous Eden Nature Resort. We have visited the place for ocular inspection as it will be our first time to hold a wedding there. The place is perfect for a solemn getaway for couples and families with kids. And I am very excited that I have been losing sleep with so many thoughts on how to deliver the wishes of the bride.


The bride requests that flowers should be abundant but still keeping it simple with the modern theme of their wedding. The challenge now is how to come up with the idea of a flowery reception area with such a limited budget. She availed of our limited promo offer 3-in-1 Wedding Package for only 35k.


Most brides-to-be have no idea how much does it really cost to fill an entire function hall with flowers and accents. So it is up to us, the wedding designers, on how we can maximize their budget that would also meet their vision of their wedding day.

So here goes me scouring through pages and pages of websites and magazines looking for ideas to deliver the bride's requests and meeting their budget allocation. Their color motif is midnight blue and silver and a theme of modern wedding. I already have initial plans on how to incorporate a little of modern and a little of garden into their wedding stage and function hall.


So how much should you really spend for your wedding decorations?

The answer to this perennial question depends on how you picture your wedding day. Different couples value different things. Some couples want to splurge on the flowers, some couples on the venue and food. Still others want to splurge on everything about their wedding. They would only want the best of the best for their once-in-a-lifetime big day. 

Simple weddings have the very least 15,000 pesos budget for the wedding flowers and decorations. With this amount, you get what is due. An example of this is our recent wedding event last June. They availed of the Simple Wedding Package and the budget for the decors fall within the 15-20k range only. You wouldn't expect much about the selection of flowers, the very easy and affordable of all is the roses. 


The Simple Wedding Decorations

If you want to keep it simple, down toned wedding decorations, then you're up for the Simple Wedding Package. The decorations included in this package will follow the motif and theme of your wedding although probably not every detail will be executed as if you would have seen them in the magazines and Pinterest. These are some examples of the Simple Wedding Decorations with more or less 20k budget:




The Elegant Wedding

If you want a more elegant, more glitter, more personality, more flowery event, probably all the details you want will be included, you are fit to avail the Classic and Elegant Wedding Package because the flowers and decorations will be more sophisticated and bring out more personality.  And if the location of the reception venue is outside downtown city, Eden Nature or Loleng's Mountain, Samal Island, you might want to prepare for additional transportation charge because these places are really far and transporting these items will require hauling the items delicately.



The Grand Wedding Decorations

Still the examples above are just a sneak peek of what could be spent for the wedding decorations. There are couples who have spent a hefty amount for their wedding set up and decorations. By hefty, I mean starting 150k to as much as 600k for the decorations alone. For some people this amount probably isn't practical anymore, but for others, if they really want it and can afford it, they would surely spend for it. Like I said, different people value different things. Some spend more for more value while others settle for what is reasonable. 


When it comes to wedding costs, most couples would choose and spend for what they think fits their ideal wedding. The role of the wedding planner is to present the many options for them to think through. With the wedding industry growing large, surely there are limitless options for the newly engaged couples.
