Wedding Décor Decisions: How to Choose the Perfect Event Styling Company
When it comes to planning your dream wedding, there’s one element that instantly transforms a venue from ordinary to unforgettable: the décor. From breathtaking floral installations to elegant chair dressing and aisle arrangements, your décor sets the tone for your entire celebration. But with so many event styling companies to choose from, how do you decide who to trust with such a key part of your day?
As Diamond Lush Events, specialists in luxury artificial floral décor hire across Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Sussex, London and beyond, we know just how much thought and detail goes into this decision. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the essential things to consider when choosing your wedding décor company, so you can feel confident that your vision is in the best possible hands.
1. Understand Your Style & Vision First
Before you start searching for décor companies, take some time to define your wedding style. Are you drawn to romantic blush tones with cascading florals? A modern minimalist look with clean lines and soft drapes? Or perhaps a bold and vibrant theme with statement centrepieces?
Having a clear vision will help you identify companies whose portfolios align with your taste. A reputable décor company will not just provide you with options, they’ll bring your dream to life while enhancing it with expert styling advice.
DLE Tip: Browse Instagram, Pinterest, and real wedding blogs to save images that inspire you. Then, when contacting companies like Diamond Lush Events, you’ll have a visual reference to share.
2. Look for a Proven Track Record
Your wedding day is too important to leave to chance. Experience matters. Look for a décor company with:
A portfolio of past weddings (preferably in your chosen style)
Testimonials from happy couples
Experience at your venue or similar spaces
When you choose Diamond Lush Events, you benefit from years of styling weddings across the South East. Whether it’s a historic manor in Berkshire, a chic London hotel, or a countryside barn in Hampshire, we’ve worked with a range of venues and understand the practicalities of different spaces.
A proven track record and portfolio shows that your décor company can bring visions to life.
3.Check the Quality of Décor Items
Not all décor is created equal. Artificial florals, for example, can range from realistic, high-end designs to budget imitations that won’t photograph well. Similarly, chair drapes, table runners, and props should be well-maintained and spotless for your big day.
At Diamond Lush Events, we invest in premium, quality artificial blooms that are virtually indistinguishable from fresh flowers, ensuring they look perfect all day and in every photo. Our items are meticulously cleaned, repaired, and stored to guarantee flawless presentation.

4. Understand the Range of Services Offered
Some couples prefer to hire one company to handle all styling elements, while others mix and match suppliers. Working with one dedicated décor provider often means a more cohesive look and a smoother setup on the day.
We offer a wide range of décor hire and styling services, including:
Luxury artificial floral arches and backdrops
Chair dressing with chiffon drapes, sashes, and brooches
Aisle and ceremony styling
Table centrepieces and statement arrangements
Flower walls and display installations
By choosing a company with multiple options, you’ll have a consistent aesthetic from ceremony to reception, without worrying about mismatched styles.
Diamond Lush Events offers a full range of décor hire services for cohesive styling.
5.Consider Local Knowledge & Logistics
Regional experience is more valuable than you might think. A décor company familiar with venues across Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, Sussex, and London will already understand things like:
Venue access times and setup restrictions
Parking and loading arrangements
Lighting conditions for optimal placement of décor
This insider knowledge saves time, avoids last-minute hiccups, and ensures a seamless setup on your wedding day.
6.Ask About Customisation
Your wedding should be uniquely yours. An experienced décor company should be willing to adapt colour palettes, floral choices, and styling details to suit your personal taste.
For example, at Diamond Lush Events, our popular Pink Blossom Arch can be customised with additional greenery, different blossom tones, or even seasonal touches to perfectly complement your theme.
7.Review Their Communication & Planning Process
Planning a wedding is stressful enough, you want a décor partner who is responsive, organised, and proactive. Look for companies that offer:
Clear, itemised quotes
Mood boards or mock-ups
Regular communication leading up to the event
Our clients often comment on how we make the process stress-free and enjoyable from the first consultation to the final reveal.
Trust your instincts when choosing the décor company that feels right for you.
8.Align Your Décor with Your Budget
Your décor budget will depend on your overall wedding spend and your priorities. Be honest with your supplier about your budget early on so they can tailor recommendations accordingly.
High-quality décor can be both stunning and affordable when planned strategically. For example, a show-stopping floral arch can double as a ceremony backdrop and a reception photo spot, giving you maximum impact for your investment.
9.Look for Creativity & Problem-Solving Skills
No matter how much you plan, things can change, weather, venue rules, or unexpected space limitations. A skilled décor team will be able to think on their feet, adapt quickly, and still deliver an incredible result.
Our team thrives on finding creative solutions, whether it’s repurposing ceremony arrangements for the reception or adjusting an installation to suit an unforeseen space change.
10.Trust Your Instincts
After meeting with a potential décor company, ask yourself:
Do they truly understand my vision?
Do I feel confident they’ll deliver?
Do they make me feel excited about the process?
Weddings are deeply personal, and choosing a décor partner is as much about trust and rapport as it is about style and budget.
