Since you're doing it yourself, you're bound to save a bunch. My suggestion is to opt for silk floral and inexpensive (multi use) vases in order to save more money.

Too much, but I'm a sucker for creating atmosphere.
This is going to vary hugely depending on what youre doing. We are not using real flowers, but it's not saving me money on my bouquets; I estimate my centerpieces will cost about $10 each. what do you consider decor? I consider everything on top of the table, including linens, lighting, signs, details....so my "decor" budget is different from someone whose linens are included in their venue or who has a separate line for flowers.
@Kristy OMG your venue was amazing! I especially love the first picture... Is that where you had your ceremony? Did you ever post a BAM? I've only been on WW a couple months. Maybe I missed it. So beautiful!!
About $1500. Decor is extremely important to me especially since my venue is a blank canvas. A decorator was going to charge me $4,000 for what i wanted so I guess i'm still saving.
Depends on your venue and your vision! My venue is so beautiful that I don't want to take away from it so I am not doing any crazy decorating thank god.
If you mean w/ flowers then about 1200 and then without, 200.
My venue is a lot like Kristy's and is already pretty decorated so we really only bought candles, table signage stuff, and these cute madlibs (which were about 50 bucks).
$385 small backdrop for ceremony, 2 branches from yard painted with vases and lit, 6 centerpieces with ribbon, bouquets, paper lanterns, 8 tablecloths, yarnballs, 100 bullet lights for lanterns, cakestand, aisle runner. Dollartree and Hobby Lobby for most things.
