What's your decorating budget??

Big day is quickly approaching and I'm finalizing a decorator. Originally I was going super budget bride and wanted to go lite on decorations. Venue is nice but not super fancy. I know there is huge variation but what is a realistic decor budget? I live in Washington, DC so I already know that...

Big day is quickly approaching and I'm finalizing a decorator. Originally I was going super budget bride and wanted to go lite on decorations. Venue is nice but not super fancy. I know there is huge variation but what is a realistic decor budget? I live in Washington, DC so I already know that prices will be inflated. A few Pictures of the venue attached!

    Including flowers, we have probably spent around $1500. Our venue doesn't need much decor, it has a very romantic feel to it already, which is an added bonus!

    Hmmm, lots to think about here! Good suggestion with excel @greenebunny! I'm getting quotes for around 1500- 4K for headtable with floral decorations and non-floral centerpieces (hurricanes and rose petals perhaps). Ceremony decor I'm going to keep simple and do it myself ( I think!)

    I budgeted $800 as I kept it all pretty minimal. I'm at $700-some, but that's not including flowers. Flowers adds on another $340 (artificial from etsy, just bouquets).

    ETA: that doesn't include my table runners either. I included those in with my linen budget.

    I budgeted $500 initially, but that got blown out of the water. We ended up spending about $3000 on decor (linens, non-floral stuff like lanterns, candles, cushions for our floor seating areas, and fabric for draping) and $4000 on flowers. Both of those were super important to me, though.

    Ours is about $800 and that doesn't include flowers. Our venue doesn't need much but this also includes cocktail tables and napkins in the budget so actual decor is less than that

    I probably spent 2,000 on decor (not flowers) and 1800 on flowers.
