Hire a florist or event decorator
Decor is what guests photograph. Share your colour palette, venue and budget on EVE, and local florists and decorators come back with concepts they can deliver on your date.
What's usually included
- Concept and mood board for your palette
- Centrepieces, arches, backdrops and balloon installations
- Delivery, on-site installation and same-night removal
- Personal flowers such as bouquets and boutonnieres
How much does it cost?
Party decor packages in the US typically start around $300–$800, wedding florals commonly run $1,500–$5,000, and large backdrop or arch installations are usually quoted individually.
These are indicative US ranges — the quotes you receive on EVE come directly from local providers for your date, city and guest count.
How to choose the right one
- Send photos of the actual venue — ceiling height and light change what is possible.
- Ask whether installation and teardown are included in the quote.
- Seasonal flowers cost noticeably less than imported ones.
How hiring works on EVE
- 1. Post your event. Date, city, guest count and what you need — it takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing.
- 2. Get applications. Local florists & decorators who are actually free on your date apply with their portfolio and price.
- 3. Message and book. Chat directly, compare, and book the one you like. You pay the provider, not EVE.
Frequently asked questions
Can I reuse ceremony flowers at the reception?
Usually yes, and it is one of the easiest ways to cut floral cost. Confirm that the florist includes a repositioning window in their timeline.
How far in advance should I book florists and decorators?
For weekend and holiday dates, 4–8 weeks ahead is comfortable. For smaller weekday events, one to two weeks is often enough. On EVE you can post your date and see who is actually available before you commit.
Do I pay EVE to find florists and decorators?
No. Posting an event request, receiving applications, and messaging providers is free for clients. You pay the provider directly, on the terms you agree with them.
