The wedding decorator usually works as a freelancer. However, they are sometimes found in wedding planning agencies. They can provide indoor or outdoor services, depending on the location of the ceremony. Of course, the wedding decoration is applied everywhere the bride and groom will pass: the town hall, the church and the buffet. The aim? To create an original wedding that is as close as possible to the clients' expectations. According to the wishes of the bride and groom, the decorator chooses the decoration accessories, starting with the chair covers, the lighting, the table decoration (choice of plates, table runner, centrepiece...), the floral arrangements, the confetti, the balloons, the garlands, the flower petals... Every detail counts. Even if the choice of the theme is up to the bride and groom, the decorator must guide them and help them. She then takes over for the implementation. She uses her experience and her range of accessories to make the ceremony as romantic as possible.

A wedding decorator is called upon to entrust a professional with a very important part of the success of the event. The service provider brings his expertise but also his advice for the choice of the theme, the choice of the decoration accessories...

Wedding decoration is an integral part of the wedding preparations. Delegating this task allows you to concentrate on other things and to have peace of mind at the same time.

The price of a wedding decorator varies according to the type of service requested and the package chosen by the bride and groom. It can range from 500 to 2000 euros and can even go beyond that depending on the case. You have to take into account both the service provided by the professional, as well as the price of the rental of all the decorative elements. Several factors influence the overall cost: - the scope of the service (car decoration, room decoration, church decoration, etc.) - the size of the event (the number of guests, the number of tables, the size of the reception room, etc.)
- the theme (colours, accessories, furniture, etc.).

The wedding decorator you need must share the same vision of the event as the bride and groom. From the very first meeting, it is important to get the ball rolling. Choose a professional who already has experience in the type of wedding you want to organise, whether it is a country or an indoor wedding. If necessary, ask for references. A good wedding decorator should be able to answer all your questions and requests. His availability is also an important criterion of choice. Secondly, it is advisable to choose a wedding decorator who already has his own equipment. See also if he can take care of all the decoration jobs, i.e. the car decoration, the church decoration, the lighting of the reception venue, etc.
