How to decorate your wedding on a budget
Most people want to create an unforgettable atmosphere at their wedding and leave a lasting impression with their wedding guests, and that's where wedding styling comes in.

What is wedding styling?
Once you have found your venue, sorted out the catering and entertainment, you need to consider the way you want to present your venue to your wedding guests. Wedding styling is more than just centrepieces and a few decorations. It's about creating the look, the overal feel and bringing together your indvidual personalities as a couple. By selecting a colour theme, centrepieces, table linen, lighting, decorations and props you can make your wedding special.

The costs involved in wedding styling
Just the words 'wedding styling' often conjures up big dollar signs but wedding styling doesn't have to cost the earth. It's more about creativity. We have worked with small and large budgets and the outcome is always the same. A beautiful styled venue for your special day with the focus on the little details that make a wedding stand out. No! It doesn't have to cost the earth but it can look amazing when you get it right!

Styling wedding tables on any budget
Flower petals, single stem roses, coloured water in vases, candles, tealights, table runners and table mirrors all cost a few dollars to hire but create a big impact on wedding tables. Use our experienced stylists to put together your 'wedding styling package'.

Unique and different wedding styles
Close your eyes and visualise what you want to experience on your wedding day. Write down what you see and use this to refer back to as you set about ordering your hire items.

Chair covers, chair sashes and table runners
Chair covers cover ugly venue chairs giving you a blank canvas to introduce your personal style and wedding colours.

Hire a core DIY event pack and save money!
The secret to wedding styling on a budget is to hire a core wedding package and then add your personal touch by selecting the decorative accents to personalise it.

Hire upmarket centrepieces and save money!
Everyone knows that flowers can be a big part of an wedding budget so lets look at other options: You could hire upmarket candelabras or replica bloom centrepieces (often 1/2 the cost of real flowers). Alternately, one single flower in a stunning vase can look amazing. Don't underestimate the visual power of balloon centrepieces either, as they too can create a big visual impact.

Splash your venue in atmopshere!
Wall washers as the name suggests splash your venue walls in colour. Perfect for setting the mood for an intimate wedding. Wall washers are also ideal for highlighting the background of a wedding cake table or a special area in your wedding venue.

Candy buffets are a budget friendly option!
A Candy Buffet can be a relatively inexpensive alternative to wedding cake, desert or favours. Candy is showcased in stunning apothecary jars, complete with lolly scoops, beautiful linen, signage and decorative items. A sweet sensation for your wedding guests that will dazzle their eyes as well as their taste buds. No one will ask where the cake is because they'll be in the queue for a lolly scoop! A sweet finale to your wedding day.
