• Booking a wedding decorator because of their name and popularity and not their experience and expertise. 
• Not exploring their design portfolio thoroughly to ensure their work style matches your wedding theme. 
• Looking for wedding decorators out of your wedding budget will inevitably lead to over expenditure.
• Not visiting your wedding venue with your chosen wedding decorator. It gives them an idea about the space and how it should be utilised for your wedding decorations. 
• Feeling shy about discussing how you want your wedding celebrations to be organised, the themes and elements you want, colour palettes etc.
