What we're quoting

Share this exact scope with every company so quotes are comparable. Venue is a hotel ballroom, so vendors only build decor — no tenting, flooring or power staging needed.

🍽️ Table decor

Basic centrepieces & table styling for ~12 round tables of 120 guests — florals or candles, runners, charger accents. Keep it clean and repeatable, not per-table bespoke.

🎭 Stage backdrop & decor

Main stage backdrop (fabric / floral / panel), side decor and a sofa or couple-seat setting. The hero photo moment — worth the biggest slice of budget.

🌸 Welcome flower arch

Main entrance welcome arch dressed with flowers (fresh or premium artificial) to greet guests at the ballroom foyer / doorway.

The ballroom

Send these to any decorator so they can quote against the real room — a set-up already in the hotel ballroom shows the ceiling height, drape wall, dance floor and scale.

Reference photos of a past set-up in the hotel ballroom (via WedMeGood). Shown to convey the room, not a fixed design brief.

Premium look

Fresh flowers + artificial (combination)

AED 12,000 – 15,000

Real fresh flowers on the hero pieces (stage & entrance arch) mixed with premium artificial on tables and fill. The richest, most photographic finish — fresh blooms carry a higher, perishable cost.
