- Wedding cake + sparkling wine toast
- Bouquet + boutonniere (often included in entry packages)
- Private events can be added (cocktail hour, reception, rehearsal dinner)

- Décor: statement arch/florals, aisle styling, lounge furniture
- Food: plated dinner vs. buffet, upgraded menu/wine packages

Devossion By Live Aqua Wedding Costs: What Actually Changes the Total Price
Destination wedding totals vary widely because they're driven by guest count, private event choices, and upgrades for food, bar, décor, and entertainment. Here are the biggest levers that impact cost the most:
The biggest cost drivers

- Venue choice (rooftop vs. garden vs. indoor salon changes setup needs)
- Décor + florals (ceremony arch, aisle design, centerpieces, lighting)

Smart "value" moves
