Just a little wedding reality check that I think many couples might not realise… 💭
When you get a quote for your flowers, décor, and setup, you’re not just paying for the items you see on the day. You’re paying for:
• the time it takes to plan and prep your design
• the team who sets it all up and breaks it down again
• fuel, transport, and meals for staff
• the admin and sourcing that happens long before the wedding
Beautiful weddings don’t just “happen” they’re the result of countless hours of behind-the-scenes work, from early-morning market runs to late-night or next day cleanups.
And unfortunately, the cost of flowers, décor hire, candles, and logistics in South Africa has increased dramatically in the last few years.
So when suppliers charge what might seem like a lot, it’s rarely profit - it’s just the reality of what it costs to bring your vision to life.
We love what we do, but we also want to be here next year, still doing it sustainably. 💐
Maybe it’s time we all start talking more openly about what things really cost…
