Spending money on décor on the occasion of waleemah if a person has the money

Q: Is it permissible to spend money on décor on the occasion of the waleemah? People spend a lot of money on flowers and draping the stage etc. Does this fall under israaf or is it permissible to do this if a person has the money and is not borrowing money to do it?

A: The stage nikaah is not at all in keeping with the sunnat. Thereafter, the draping etc. how can that be correct.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
