Hi everyone,

I’m planning an outdoor/beach-backdrop wedding for next February at the Park Hotel and trying to understand realistic decor costs before I commit to too much.

Food and venue costs are already quite high (1600 + taxes along with lawn rental) so I’m wondering:
- What did you spend on outdoor wedding decor/backdrops?
- Is a decent beach/outdoor setup achievable on a moderate budget?
- What parts of decor ended up costing the most?

We’re mainly looking for elegant but not ultra-luxury decor — backdrop/stage area, florals, lighting, aisle setup etc.

Would really appreciate hearing real budget ranges or experiences, especially from coastal venues.

Thanks!
