AARA: Featured Event Designs and Floral Stories
We believe every celebration carries its own soul. This collection is a glimpse into how we translate concepts into visual experiences, from intimate dinners to grand weddings across Bengaluru and beyond.
For the Ambani family's Raas Garba, I helped create a divine setting inspired by the love of Radhe and Krishna. The space was a vibrant tapestry of pink hues and patola textiles, featuring antique temple artifacts, hand-painted figures, and a stunning jeweled tree of life, all to create an ethereal, heartfelt ambiance.
This grand entrance was designed to transport guests to a hidden world of mystery and glamour. The speakeasy masquerade theme came to life with a dramatic photo wall, combining vintage marquee lights with a rich texture of masks and dried foliage against a library-themed backdrop.
The beauty of gifting lies in the details. This arrangement showcases some of my favorite artisanal elements: hand-carved wooden stamps with traditional motifs, brass lotus candle holders, and a classic wooden game, all curated to create a welcome hamper that is both playful and elegant.
I believe in the quiet poetry of handcrafted details. For this South Indian wedding, we designed these delicate valances with handwoven petal garlands in soft pastel tones, bringing a modern, serene elegance to a cherished tradition.
To capture the rustic charm of a European farmer's market, I created this inviting "Flower Bar" corner. It’s a celebration of local, seasonal, and soulful elements, combining fresh Bangalore farm produce with textured styling and countryside conviviality for a truly sensorial experience.
An overhead view of an exquisite table setting I designed for an intimate birthday dinner. The design layers textures and soft colors, from the pink glass charger plates and floral-printed napkins to the delicate flowers and personalized menus, creating a truly bespoke dining experience.
This surreal sunrise wedding was set against the infinite backdrop of the Bay of Bengal. I used traditional concepts like ornate brass lamps and a magnificent Nandi statue, combining them with tropical flowers to create a sacred space that felt both grand and deeply connected to its natural surroundings.
About this collection
Our work often starts at the intersection of local traditions and modern aesthetics. Whether we are incorporating traditional brass elements into a sunrise wedding or setting up a flower bar inspired by European markets, we prioritize tactile, sensory details. We want your guests to experience the space through sight, texture, and story, rather than just walking through a decorated room.
At AARA, we treat every venue as a blank canvas to tell a narrative. Our design process moves away from standard packages and leans into the specifics of your story. If you are hosting a celebration in Bengaluru, Chennai, or Coimbatore, we bring the same attention to detail that we gave to the Ambani Raas Garba or the intimate dinners we have styled for private clients.
We believe decor should be a sensory experience. This means sourcing local, seasonal florals for our installations or collaborating with craft councils to feature authentic, hand-crafted elements. We avoid the look of mass-produced events by choosing materials like jute, brass, copper, and wood that bring warmth and authenticity to a space. Our approach is hands-on. From the initial planning of a masquerade cocktail party to the intricate floral valances of a traditional wedding, we manage the aesthetic flow of the entire day. We understand the nuances of planning events in South India, from managing the humidity at a Mahabalipuram beach wedding to maximizing the charm of a cozy Koramangala studio dinner. Our goal is to ensure the environment we create feels like an extension of your personality, not just a backdrop.
