Hi!
Our venue says we can be in at 7am to set up (we're doing our own floristry the day before, so they just need to be carried in and put on tables). We only have 5 tables (approx 35 people) and have asked the venue to have the tables set up in the right place with linens and place settings done. We're simply having table runners with centre pieces and candles on the tables, along with name cards, and then a backdrop to be hung behind our sweetheart table (also table runner, simple flowers pre-done and candles). For other decor, we will have a guestbook table with some photo frames on it (also easy to set up) and two vases, and one easel with the seating chart and one with the welcome sign.
Is 2 hours long enough to set up? I am trying to see if I can start at 6am... I have 6 bridesmaids too who are all keen to help and my fiance is setting up the Church flowers.
My other question is candles - we have fake ones that need switching on... who should we get to do this and when? Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks so much! All other answers I've found on this are for much bigger weddings, but seeing as most of our stuff simply needs placing down, I feel it should be straightforward but would love to hear from you!
