What affects the price
Where the cost comes from
Scale of styling
The biggest driver. A few candles and a bouquet is a fraction of a full installation with an arch, marquee letters and abundant florals.
Location and permits
Public gardens and bayside beaches often need a paid permit for a styled setup (the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria, the City of Melbourne and the bayside councils), and exclusive-use venues carry a hire cost. Free public spots keep the budget down.
Vendors included
Adding photography, a videographer, a florist or a musician each lifts the total. Bundling them through one planner can be more efficient.

Pricing questions
Indicatively, a simple styled proposal starts from around $950, an elevated one runs $2,000 to $3,000, and a grand fully styled proposal can reach $5,000 or more. Photography is usually extra.
The scale of styling is the main reason. A simple candlelit setup costs far less than a full installation with an arch and abundant florals. Location permits and added vendors also move the price.
Yes. Melbourne has a deep, competitive market of proposal planners, stylists and photographers, which means real choice at every budget level and vendors used to working the city's gardens, beaches and rooftops.
