Start with the honest part
In Good Company is a design studio. Paige Netting-Lentini and her co-founder Courtney Little build weddings where how the room looks is the point, and that is not a budget service. If you came to this site because $800 for a DJ sounded right, full design planning is probably not the next thing you book.
We are still putting them on the list, for two reasons that actually matter to the couples reading this.
Paige Netting-Lentini. Courtney Little runs the floral side.
Reason one: you can hire the flowers without hiring the planning
This is the part most couples do not realise. They do floral design as its own service. You are not obligated to buy a full planning package to work with them.
Flowers are not optional at most weddings - bouquets, boutonnieres, something on the tables - so it is a line in your budget either way. If you are going to spend it regardless, spending it with a studio whose whole identity is design is a reasonable way to get more out of the same money.
The affordable way in is florals only. Ask them about floral design as a standalone rather than a planning package. Same team, same eye, much smaller commitment.
Reason two: a blank room needs design more, not less
Here is something backwards about wedding budgets. The couples who most need someone with an eye are usually the ones with the least money, because they are the ones in the blank room.
A hotel ballroom or an established venue arrives already looking like something. A backyard, a rented hall, a barn, a tent - those arrive looking like nothing. Every single thing a guest sees in that room is a decision somebody made, and if nobody made those decisions on purpose, guests can tell. That is the wedding where design work pays for itself, and it is very often the affordable wedding.
You may still not be able to afford full planning. But an hour of a designer's time to tell you what to do with an empty hall is worth more than most things you could spend that hour's money on.

Why the flowers and the design being one team matters
Normally you hire a planner and separately hire a florist. The florist is interpreting somebody else's idea, second-hand, having never sat in the meeting where it was decided.
Here, Courtney does the florals in the same studio that did the design. It is one fewer handoff, and handoffs are where wedding details go wrong. On a tight budget that is worth real money, because getting it right the first time is cheaper than fixing it.
What we would actually tell you
If your venue already looks good and your budget is tight: skip the design work, put the money into food and music, and buy flowers wherever is cheapest. That is the honest answer and we give it often.
If you are staring at an empty room with no idea what to do: talk to them. Even if all you can afford is florals and an opinion, it is the highest-leverage money on your list.
