About Event Design & Decor
What I Do
I design events that feel like stepping into another world. For me, it's more than just décor - I want every celebration to tell a real story, using everything from soft fabrics and rustic jute to fresh florals and hand-carved details. If you want your event to have soul, that's my thing.
How I Work
- I start with your story. Whether it's mixing South Indian temple vibes with a modern twist, or pulling off a Gala Galaxy Night for the science lovers, I'm all about narrative event styling.
- Love combining tradition and the now. Expect old-school brass lamps next to sleek, minimalist setups.
- Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for me. I actually use natural, eco-friendly event décor and materials whenever possible.
My Work
- Weddings (from classic South Indian to fusion cultural celebrations and intimate, luxury wedding design)
- Pre-wedding functions, sit-down dinners, cocktail parties… you name it
- Some wild themes I’ve done: Chinese porcelain-inspired spring brunch, masquerade speakeasies, and golden origami gardens
Details Matter
- Full venue styling, custom props, floral installations, stage/mandap design, lighting, and table setups
- Handcrafted wedding installations and all the little things that make your event feel like you
- I’m based in Bangalore and Coimbatore, but travel across South India for destination events
If you want something that’s not cookie-cutter and really feels like you, let's bring it to life.
