Is $500 a realistic budget? Let’s price decorations together! - Part 2

[@taijasilva9567]

Between you and Melanie Turner of Living Luxuriously for Less has GOT ME TOGETHER! I cannot wait to get back to work with all the new information!

[@YesEventDecor]

Yay! I’m so happy to hear that! Happy New Year! 🎊🎈🎆

[@addrienne634]

You are a blessing to newbies like me. I love your work and the information and teaching is priceless. You should hold a in person class!

[@YesEventDecor]

God is good! 🙌🏽 Once I’m done with my online courses, I will definitely hold some in person classes ☺️

[@monicaroberts1336]

Very informative, it was said if they are paying for the things used it's there's, I have used cylinder vases with water and candles, from dollar tree and hobby lobby, looking forward to seeing you every time 🌹🌹

[@YesEventDecor]

Exactly. I charge full price for candles since I can’t reuse those.

[@missglamorous_0816]

Thank you for these videos! I've been having issues with pricing my events. This video and the one about why I'm not attracting the right clientele have changed my entire business practice. These have been super helpful!

[@YesEventDecor]

Pricing is so hard! I still find myself tweaking my pricing. You want to charge something that’s fair while also getting paid for your time. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@radhikakumar5959]

You are incredibly amazing! You are so kind to share your designs steps and knowledge 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I LOVE!!! your decorations n style . classy n cute. my BIG question is if your charging for say a marquee number $100 is it the customer's to keep after the party or do u charge for it/ and your other big items like a floral backdrop do u then keep everything? very curious how that works? thx in advance!

[@idamorales4715]

I say yes as well. It's beautiful but not too much. 😉 But wait what about that backdrop behind the sweetheart table, it's very detailed with lights. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you Ida!

[@annhassett9100]

Yaaaay! Thank you for uploading. Really look forward to your video's. Regarding the sweetheart setup, I would say NO, not with all the detail and the candles.

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you for letting me know. I have to start charging more!

Thank you so much for these videos. I'm having a prom send off for my son in June and decided to do everything myself (minus what the venue is offering). I'm on a tight budget so you are really helping me. Fingers crossed I don't screw everything up lol

[@tishaholliman7454]

Thank you so much! Can you do a video of decor that will be around $500?

[@YesEventDecor]

Sure! Let me think about it more ☺️

[@veraowan]

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@michelleedwards634]

Thanks for another great video, these pricing examples are really helpful - the actual price isn't so true for me as I'm in the UK but I am able to compare the different components/quantities/sizes in your examples and extrapolate how they influence total price 🤩

[@YesEventDecor]

Okay great! I’m glad it was helpful even with you being in the UK. ☺️

[@sandradiaz6102]

I would say Yes. 😜❤️ I’m thinking backdrop stand is about 150. , light about 60-80, table.$13., candle holders about 150-200. Candles 40. And skirt 50. Flowers 100. Never done one. Just guessing.

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you for your feedback! ☺️

[@dananaz12]

Great video , I would do this for $500 but I’m sure if a florist does it would probably be more . $500 doesn’t go far but the request I get you would not believe . A arch dessert table and the back drop . Then don’t forget after we lowering the price . It gets worst now tables you want decor . Unrealistic budgets 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

[@YesEventDecor]

Yeah, we always have to educate clients on how much decorations actually cost.

[@EventDecorAndDesignsByIeasha]

I love these videos...yes, a balloon wall is very time consuming...I did one for New Years. The pink backdrop is called a Chiara Board and they are very popular it kind of look like what I used for my End of The school year celebration... I would say the pink would be around 500 depending on if the client want artificial flowers...real flowers I feel would make the cost go up because it looks like they are using roses...and those lights are not cheap depending on how many they are using. It is gorgeous though. Do you have a link to those vases that are on the floor...if so could you let me know it. Keep these videos coming I love seeing how much I know...LOL. Have a blessed night.

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you for letting me know. I didn’t know what that pink board was called. Sure. I’ll put the link for the vases in the description. Be blessed! ☺️

[@EventDecorAndDesignsByIeasha]

@@YesEventDecor thank you

[@kat64470]

Are there special flower arrangements for use with balloons? It would seem regular flowers with stems would pop the balloons. I love your laugh btw.

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you! ☺️ I use silk flowers with my balloons. Haven’t tried real flowers yet. Just make sure you bend the ends of the flowers or wrap them in floral tape (so they don’t pop the balloons).

[@stephaniechristie4676]

Love your videos. Yes, think the last design was $500.

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you!

[@chiquitaowens2140]

I just love the way you take time to break things down for those of us just getting started in this business. Thank you so much! I have a question concerning the balloon set ups. I don't recall seeing a video of yours concerning helium filled balloons. This is a service that I'm thinking of incorporating into my business. Do you provide that service, and if so, who supplies your helium, and also how should I adjust my pricing when adding this service to an event?

[@YesEventDecor]

No, I don’t really do helium filled balloons. When I do, I rent the helium tank and pass that cost off to the client.

[@chiquitaowens2140]

Thanks for this, I've definitely been undercharging. People just don't want to pay those prices in St. Louis. Usually people are looking for something around $300.

[@YesEventDecor]

Glad I could help! What about the clients outside of St. Louis?

@@YesEventDecor looking into that now after watching your latest video. That video came out in the perfect timing. Thanks for all your suggestions and help!

The backdrop alone is 250 - 375 not including delivery

[@TheBeckyOrtiz]

That arrangement would be more than $500, flowers are VERY expensive!

[@YesEventDecor]

Yes, I’m learning that flowers are very expensive….

[@tinabrooks6771]

I would say NO due to each element of that being costly, time for creating this look, etc. It may not be much over $500, but I wouldn’t say $1k.

[@YesEventDecor]

Thank you for that feedback!

[@savoiitaylor4473]

So not too be a burden but what is worth $500

[@YesEventDecor]

I talk about this at the end of the video. It can get you a backdrop, or some simple table decorations, or a large balloon garland.

[@balloonjunkie8619]

not with in $500 budget. no ma'am

Definitely not a 500$ sweetheart table decorations.
