We'd been planning to DIY our mandap. (We may still do it.) Anyway, I met with my florist last weekend. We're getting married in a pretty rural area where the closest conventional mandap decorator would cost a fortune in travel costs. Anyway, our florist told me that she did an Indian wedding not too too long ago and that she'd built the mandap for the couple. It was basically wrought-iron columns with a pitched "roof" on top. The mandap was covered with fabric. There were at least 8 HUGE floral arrangements on there in the picture she showed me. Anyway, she told me that she couldn't remember exactly but that she charged that couple at least $2000-$3000 for that mandap, but she'd have to figure out what she'd charge to set up and decorate the same structure for us given that she's already made the structure and that we'd want way fewer flowers. I haven't gotten a quote from her yet, but I was hoping to get your thoughts on what's "reasonable" for setup on something like that before I talk to her. I'm okay with doing our own, but if I can get a decent, fair price, it may be good to avoid the headache. I really don't have much to compare it to since I'd never planned to use a decorator.
