How to Choose the Perfect Decoration Package for Your Event.
One of the first questions we get from almost every client is: «I don’t know which package I need — can you help me figure it out?»
The answer is always yes. And the truth is, choosing the right decoration package isn’t complicated once you understand what each tier is designed for. At Sorelle Atelier Event Design, we’ve built our packages around real events — the kinds of celebrations that families in Swansea, Belleville, O’Fallon and Metro East Illinois actually throw — so that every tier makes sense for someone.
In this guide we walk you through every package we offer, what’s included, who it’s designed for, and how to know which one matches your vision and your budget.
The 5 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Package
Before we get into the tiers, answer these five questions. They’ll point you toward the right package faster than anything else.
1. How many guests are you expecting? Guest count determines how much décor you need to fill the space without it looking sparse. A setup for 50 people and a setup for 200 people are completely different investments.
2. What type of event is it? A first birthday, a quinceañera, a wedding, and a corporate event have different visual expectations. The package that’s perfect for a baby shower might feel underwhelming for a wedding.
3. What’s your venue like? A large ballroom needs more décor than a backyard or a small event room. The bigger the space, the more elements you need to make it feel dressed.
4. What’s your budget? Be honest with yourself here. A clear budget lets us work with you to maximize every dollar — and there’s always something beautiful at every price point.
5. How important is customization to you? Some clients want a package they can build on and personalize down to the color. Others just want something beautiful without the decisions. Both are completely valid — and we have a tier for each.
Our Packages — From Intimate to Full Luxury
🔹 Micro Event — From $300
Best for: Intimate gatherings, small celebrations, milestone moments
The Micro Event package is our entry point — and don’t let the price fool you. This is a complete, dignified setup that makes any small space feel intentional and special.
What’s included:
- One backdrop (balloon or fabric)
- Pedestal set (pair)
- Delivery, installation & removal
Who it’s for: Families celebrating a birthday with a small guest list, a gender reveal at home, a small graduation party, or any event under 50 guests where the focus is on one beautiful focal point.
The honest truth: If you’re hosting 30 people and your budget is $300, this package gives you more than you’d expect. It won’t fill a ballroom, but for intimate spaces it’s exactly right.
🔹🔹 Basic — From $450
Best for: Birthdays, baby showers, small quinceañeras
The Basic package takes everything in Micro and adds the elements that make a celebration feel complete — a cake table, themed balloons, and centerpieces for your tables.
What’s included:
- Everything in Micro
- Decorated backdrop
- Cake table
- Themed balloons
- Up to 5 centerpieces
- Delivery & installation
Who it’s for: A first birthday where you want photos that look beautiful. A baby shower where the mom deserves more than just a few balloons. A small quinceañera for a family that wants something memorable without a large investment.
The honest truth: This is the package most families start with when they’re not sure how much they want to invest. It photographs beautifully and covers all the main focal points.
🔹🔹🔹 Silver — From $800
Best for: Quinceañeras, graduations, medium-sized events
The Silver package is where events start to feel truly elevated. This tier adds the elements that distinguish a celebration from a party — an organic balloon arch, decorated chair covers, head-table florals, and professional design coordination.
What’s included:
- Everything in Basic
- Decorated chair covers
- Organic balloon arch
- Head-table florals
- Design coordination
Who it’s for: A quinceañera where the young woman deserves to feel like a princess. A graduation where the family wants to honor the achievement properly. Any event with 80 to 150 guests where you want the space to look coordinated and intentional.
The honest truth: Silver is our sweet spot for quinceañeras and graduations. It covers every main visual element — the backdrop, the arch, the tables, the chair of honor — and creates a cohesive look that photographs professionally.
🔹🔹🔹🔹 Gold — From $1,500
Best for: Weddings, premium quinceañeras, large events
The Gold package is a full-room experience. This is the tier where the venue transforms — not just the backdrop or the tables, but the entire space. Full-room draping, premium furniture, complete florals, and a fully custom design that we build around your vision.
What’s included:
- Everything in Silver
- Full-room draping
- Premium furniture
- Complete florals
- Custom design
Who it’s for: Couples who want their wedding to feel like a magazine editorial. Families investing in a quinceañera that will be remembered for years. Anyone who wants to walk into their venue and feel like it was designed exclusively for them.
The honest truth: Gold is the most popular package for weddings in Metro East Illinois. When we deliver a Gold setup, guests consistently say they’ve never seen anything like it. This is the package that generates the most referrals for us — because the people at the event become our next clients.
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹 Diamond — From $2,500
Best for: Luxury weddings, anniversaries, milestone events
Diamond is our most complete offering — and it’s truly a different experience. Every element is fully custom, every detail is coordinated, and you have a dedicated team with you from design to day-of execution. This is the package for couples and families who want the absolute best.
What’s included:
- Fully custom design
- Complete venue installation
- Day-of coordination
- Premium furniture & accessories
- Dedicated service team
Who it’s for: A luxury wedding where no detail is left to chance. A 50th anniversary celebration that honors a lifetime together. Any event where the host wants to be completely present — not managing logistics, not making decisions on the day — just living the moment.
The honest truth: Diamond clients don’t just get beautiful décor. They get peace of mind. Every decision is made in advance, every element arrives on time, and the only thing left for the family to do is enjoy the celebration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to choose a package, or can I just book individual elements? You can do either. We offer à la carte pricing on all individual elements — backdrops, garlands, arches, marquee letters — as well as our full packages. Many clients start with a package and customize from there.
What’s included in every price? Every quote from Sorelle Atelier includes delivery to your venue, professional installation, and complete removal after the event. There are no hidden labor charges.
How do I know which package fits my venue? Share your venue name and size with us and we’ll recommend the right tier. We know most venues in Metro East Illinois and can tell you exactly what each space needs to look its best.
Can I see examples of each package level? Yes — text us and we’ll send you photos from real events at each tier. Seeing real installations makes the decision much easier.
How far in advance should I book? For summer and holiday events, 6 to 8 weeks minimum. For peak dates — July 4th weekend, quinceañera season — we recommend booking 3 months out.
