Many couples begin planning without a clear idea of the wedding decoration cost, which can lead to overspending or last-minute changes. Decoration typically takes up 20% to 35% of the total wedding budget, depending on the venue, city, and guest count. The final cost depends on three major areas: stage decoration, mandap setup, and reception d\u00e9cor. This guide breaks down wedding decoration cost in India with realistic price ranges and explains what affects the final amount. What Determines Wedding Decoration Cost in India? Before looking at numbers, it is important to understand what impacts decoration pricing.
