    Hey girls! I'm in a bit of a situation at the minute where I have found a supplier to do all the wedding venue decorations, at what I think is a reasonable price, but h2b thinks it's far too much and that we can get it cheaper elsewhere. I have tried looking at other suppliers and their prices do seem to be a lot more expensive than this one. I have read the reviews and everyone couldn't have recommended her any more than they have done which is making me think she is a really good choice. The problem is that I need to let her know asap if I'm going to be booking her or not and don't like keeping her waiting, however h2b and me just cannot agree :( The quote that she has given me is £800 which is for:

    - 30ft aisle runner package & rose petals etc
    - 9m fairylight backdrop
    - purple top table swag - lights purple no pleated skirting
    - cake table swags - lights but no pleated skirting
    - mr & mrs signs sliver hire
    - love sign for cake sliver hire
    - 40" first dance balloon
    - pair of bay trees
    - pair of topiary trees
    - entrance lights/drapes for ceremony room (inside door)
    - 100 polyester chair covers
    - 100 organza sashes
    - 10 fishbowls with mirrors, tea tree candles
    - 200 sash embellishments - front and back

    delivery, collection and set up
    additional petrol charge
    some discount for having a large package

    What do you's think ladies? Do you think this is reasonable? I'm soon going to be tearing my hair out :(

    That's actually a really good quote for what you are getting - my chair covers and sashes are costing me £240 on their own! x

    Yea I still do have a while to go yet but was wanting to get as much sorted as possible so that I can start paying things off. I'm usually not the most organised person so this is the one thing I'm definitely going to be organised for :) I'm just worried that if I don't book soon someone else will get in there and I'll lose out on what I think is a good deal :(

    that sounds like a good deal and by the time you get to your day prices will have gorne up so it will be a steal

    I'd say that's a good price. The chair covers alone are costing me £3.50 each so with everything else in there I think you're doing well.
    But do bear in mind if you get on with the people at the company. I'd rather pay a bit extra and have people I can work with than some stroppy mare!

    oh yea so would I definitely although anytime I've been speaking to this girl she has been so helpful and friendly so I think she would be lovely to work with.

    was doing some figures last night and think now that I will only have around 80 so now the price with 80 chair covers and 160 sash embellishments it will be £750 :) honestly do think it too good to let go, still trying to convince h2b though :(

    I live in northern Ireland and this is where this girl is based and don't know if she does anywhere but I can post you her details if you are still interested?

    I am having my venue dresses for £350, but not having as much as you. Ours include 70 chair covers and sashes, table linen, swagging for tob table and cake table, 2 bay trees, an exploding balloon and a candy buffet. So the quote you have been given is fairly reasonable considering you are having more than that. I would go for it, especially if you have shopped around already and can't find cheaper. xx
