diy decor or hire decorator

I’ve found some things were actually cheaper to rent from a decorator, they’re not actually setting all the items we’ve rented up for us though we’ll do that with our wedding party and parents.

I have a lot of people willing to help me with set up and DIY. and i'm still thinking I will hire a decorator. and my biggest reason is that after being a bridesmaid 13 times and having to clean things up at the end of the night (and being drunk or tired etc etc), I just don't want to do that to my wedding party.
or like one girl said, DIY and then hire someone to set up/tear down.

If you don't have a problem doing the DIY yourself, you can make everything, and then hire a day-of coordinator who will get it all set up. It's a much more cost effective way of not having someone do all the work for you, but they will handle everything on the big day!

A simple Google search will give you lots of DIY ways to do a backdrop. You can save quite a bit of money if you DIY. The difference is the convenience. If you don't have people to help you set things up, or even to help you out making them (makes it go way faster), than that's where a decorator may come in handy. However, if you have plenty of time and enjoy the more artsy side of DIYing, go for it!

Thanks for the ideas. I'm not skeptical when it comes to ordering stuffs online, are they good quality..are those fake flowers looks real? I wanna do DIY but I wanna do something easy up to set up. Any ideas what is easy to use as backdrop stand?

From some who is currently DIYing as much as possible you can actually save a good amount of money. Specially if your using the wedding FB pages, Michaels, and the dollar store. I’ve even cut down my own tree and ordered off eBay to save money but achieve the look I want. It’s about being savie and precise in what your looking for.
