Decoration is the most important part in my wedding preparation list. Where should I start? Maybe I should start from a little story before I begin the decorations.
At first, we were trying to find a wedding planner, which usually provides decoration service. We talked to one company one year ago when we were looking for bridal photography, and the service fee(exclude all other costs) is S$3000. We were overwhelmed by this high price so there is no then...
Two month before our wedding, we started thinking looking for a wedding planner again, and this time we founded Butterfly and Cakes on the magazine. This is a more well known wedding planner company, and this time when we hear the four digit service charge, we were already prepared, so not so shocked this time.
Butterfly and Cakes used to do be a props rental company, which means they used to do wedding decorations. And they still provide props rental service now. What a coincidence! We thought we had found the right one, so we had some serious meetings and emails discussing about our wedding decoration issues. During our discussion, we realised again that, price for a Singapore wedding is again--overwhelming. Let me give you some examples, the rental fee for one table centerpiece or one isle stand is S$100. Assuming we have 20 tables and the cost would be S$2000 only for my decorations on table!
But their props are nice isn't it?
One special demand for my wedding is the lighting. The idea came from some photos I saw online. And I was so happy to know that B&C do have such lightings, and they call it "fairy lights". But the next I was told that fairy lights are pricy, guess how much? For an area of 25 square feet of fairy lights, the price is S$800... it can easily shoot up to four digits. The girl we talked to is frank and honest, it's not the lights that are pricy, but the labour fee is high.
The price made me started thinking of any other options, maybe a DIY wedding? which seems more economical. I searched online and there are all the materials you need, even fairy lights. Although we are concerned about the time, but the price helped us settle our mind: no more wedding planner, no more props rental. We are going to DIY our wedding, and we are going to do all the decoration ourselves!
i like your choices and its the kinda concept and venues im eyeing. fuss free and diy! so how much does your whole wedding cost!? And yes ive not get down to booking the venues and make any preparation yet!
