Choose a unifying theme early—royal Rajasthani, floral pastel, Bollywood glam, temple traditional, etc.—to guide colours, materials, and layout decisions.
Traditional Indian flowers like marigold and jasmine are cost-effective and visually stunning. Use them in:
Garland backdrops
Ceiling hangings
Entry arches
Table runners
Combine string lights, lanterns, and diyas for depth.
Use colored uplighting for dramatic evening events.
Fairy lights behind sheer fabrics make gorgeous photo booths or stage backdrops.
Use floral arches, brass urns, rangoli designs, or wooden frames draped with fabric.
Add a custom welcome board with your wedding hashtag or couple monogram.
Use sheer or colourful fabrics like organza, georgette, or silk to drape ceilings, mandaps, and seating areas.
Mix metallics or contrast colours for a richer look.
Go minimal with a canopy and fresh florals or opt for a regal structure with pillars, chandeliers, and carved wood.
Incorporate banana leaves or coconut palms for a South Indian vibe.
Fun signs like “Team Bride/Groom” or quotes in regional languages.
Personalised photo walls with childhood and couple pictures.
Use reusable decor like brassware, fabric buntings, cane baskets, and potted plants.
Avoid thermocol and single-use plastic where possible.
Add local elements—like Rajasthani puppets, Goan shells, Bengali alpana, or Kerala lamps—to celebrate your heritage.
Create comfy seating nooks with cushions and low stools.
Add a themed photo booth with props and traditional frames for guests.
