Set up and Clean up

Let's talk set up and clean up! We strive to make this process as easy and stress free for you (the Bride) and everyone else apart of your day! This post is going to give you some insight on what's expected of us (A Simple Touch) and what's expected of you and your family/ bridal party. So let's get into it!

Let's start with us here's what we will take care of! Given that we are decorating 90% of the hall we will take care of organizing everything. Meaning how much of what item(s) you want so you can simply look at the quote and see that it is everything you picked out and be done thinking about it! 

Now to the day of decorating, we typically like to try and get into the hall prior to Friday mornings so everything isn't so hectic! So we will go in Thursday and get all the big stuff done; ceiling, backdrops, 90% of the head table, demo tables, and place what goes on each table at the end of the tables (this will make sense hear in a minute, we promise ;))! 

Now onto Friday morning, since we did so much the day before, we will pop in and finish any last minute things like hanging a sign or adding extras in places you feel you want a little more! 

Now for what's expected of you! Friday morning since we have everything placed at the end of each table bridesmaids, aunts, etc can easily place items on the tables and quickly glance at the demo tables for guidance! For the head table we will have 90% of it done so what will need done is the place settings, chair covers and chair sash's! All in all a typical Friday morning decorating takes about an hour or two which is SO nice so you can have a fun relaxing rest of your day!

For Saturday we will have a tub in the back of church for someone to put all the pew decor in so they can shove it in their car and bring it to the hall. Don't worry! If it happens to get left in said vehicle that's ok! Just simply bring it back Monday! For Saturday night clean up; we ask that you group everything together on a few tables. Maybe you have cheesecloth, and candle sticks, and cylinders. Just group all like items together on a couple tables and we will be in the next morning to pack them up! For the linens we ask that you place them in linen bags. From there, we will take care of all the large items that we put up in the morning so you don't have too!

We of course offer full service decorating so your special day may look slightly different in which we will go over everything with you again once your day gets close/ on the day of!

We cannot wait to bring your vision to life! 

Talk soon!
