Bigger the venue, higher will be your expenditure on decoration. You can expect an expenditure of anywhere from Rs 15,000 to whatever limit you can afford. There is only one piece of advice that I can give here, "Simple is beautiful."

Whatever you do with your heart is bound to make an impression, suggests Pallavi Bharda, a freelance wedding planner based out of Mumbai.
