Brides with larger budgets: how much did you spend on your flowers + rentals + event design? I am interested to find out the average cost on an event designer/ event decorator. We are getting married in Miami and would love any recommendations you may have on vendors as well. Thank you!!!!

About $15k on rentals, $12k on wedding planner, and $7k on flowers.

We're spending less than $1k on chair rentals thanks to a referral from our venue.
We're also spending less than $600 on flowers by working with a smaller shop, picking up ourselves and only focusing on ceremony flowers for the wedding party.
For event design less than $300 on centerpieces, sweetheart table, welcome table, signage and other smaller pieces. This was thanks to shopping sales and DIY-ing everything ourselves.
We also saved thousands more by picking a date near a holiday. Our venue will already be decorated for Christmas with a tree and everything so no extra work for us.
We also saved thousands more by not hiring a planner and doing everything ourselves; which wasn't hard because we didn't want much anyways. Plus our venue provides a DOC for us as part of our package.

Hey Sharelle! Congratulations on your engagement!
Below, I have added a link to the WeddingWire cost guide for wedding planners. This guide gives you information on what the average cost per vendor is in your area. It’s a super helpful guide that offers info about what is often involved in their services, how much you should tip, and helpful questions to ask when you first meet. A full-service wedding planner often takes venue design and decor under their control for the day of the wedding.
