Decorations Planner

To Theme or Not To Theme...
That is the Question!

Here's a list of what you might do and what you might not. No pressure here. But remember, theme is very important. Saying you don't have a theme is like saying, "just make sure the air conditioning works and there's food on the table!"...which is important, of course...but!

Even if you choose just to do florals...that's still a theme you carry through with colors and size and all that good stuff.

If you decide on using a decorator, supply them with this checklist and ask them to prepare a proposal with prices listed by item. Then pick and choose what you want to fit within your budget.
