WOW! £4.20 a chair, I think that's very very expensive personally. Most prices i've seen is between £2-£3.50. I paid £1.65 per chair cover and sash (winter deal tho)

I would shop around and get some comparative quotes xx

I agree with Elliekitty about the chair covers, we were lucky with ours as they are included in the package we got. x

I think your original price is really expensive, chair covers are normally between £2.50 and £3.50. I also think your martini glasses are alot too, we were hiring them for about £15 per glass then £2 for the glass so yours is well over priced.

Do some shopping around and get some other quotes. xxx

well thats what i expected to get tbh Kelly.
I dont mind doing it as an extra cost but there is a limit. I have found somewhere that does £2.75 per chair cover which is sooo much better :)
im looking at about £325.
does anyone know where i can buy/hire purple charger plates for £1 each or less?

im not using what my venue use thats just what i want

what i want is:
49 chair covers and sashes
5 centrepieces (tall w mirror plate and sprinkles)
49 charger plates
backdrop of some kind
swags and bows on top table, cake table and ceremony table
swags and bows on the bar area (as it looks gorgeous. suppose i can do without if it becomes too much)
long and low for top table and ceremony table (silk)

im estimating paying about £500 for all of the above

do you think this is too much? or too little? am i being unrealistic?

We had 50 chair covers and sashes with delivery, fit and removal for £95.

We made our own centre pieces at a cost of about £30, bought the table confetti for about £1 a bag, card games for 10p each (they were going obselete in t*scos) and bubbles for 25p each.

thats way 2 much hun, shop about a bit. x x

The second quote sounds a lot better x

do you have a qd near you? I bought gold charger plates at 1.50 each and they have others for £1

have you tried looking in the range at their center pieces?

Sounds like a lot. Are you having flowers in your centrepeices? I only ask as our florist is sorting the hire of vases/candlesticks for us, included in the flower quote.im having 80 chair covers/ sashes and have just got 50 p off per cover for booking this month. So I'm paying £200 for the 80.

that would be great siany ta.
yeh thats what i thought mrs c. but im going to go see my venue again in a few weeks so im going to have a look at the chairs to see if they need covers xxx

popped a couple of links on your page for charger plates x

will pop a link on for where I'm using for my stuff I'm doing martini vase with flowers in will all be silk though because of my allergies but think they look just as good. the cheaper charger plates are only 79p each you could but some crystals around the outside rim to bling them up if you wanted them to look more expensive and it would cost much x

how many are you needing cos if you wanted to buy mine off me after i have finished with them your more then welcome would only need to get the bits for inside.

I'm having 5 at 60cm tall and 2 smaller ones to go on my top table which are about 26cm tall and look like this also will have mirror plates 30cm

will msg you as they dont like you talking about this stuff on here x

have friend requested you as cant msg you till you accept x

have msg you x

will post the link for you linzi jo you have to open an account with them but its easy enough to do and doesnt take long to come

im not one of the other ladies on here gave me the link months ago the shop is amazing

Crikey, that's a rip off!

I'm always a bit wary of people the venues recommend....at our venue they have a recommended florist, photographer, harpist, violinist and decorators....they always seem to be at the top end of the usual prices...makes you wonder if there's not some sort of commission deal going on..
