About this collection
You see a finished, colourful setup, but the real work starts long before I arrive at your venue. I don't just use standard props; I hand-source marigolds, weave coconut leaves for authentic thoranam, and track down specific brass urlis to ensure the Haldi or Mehendi look is exactly as you imagined. Whether it's a simple indoor ceremony or a sprawling outdoor event, I build every backdrop from scratch to match your theme.
Getting the Traditional Look Right
For a Haldi or Mehendi, the atmosphere is everything. Whether you want a classic South Indian look with banana leaves and coconut weaving, or a modern, colourful floral backdrop, I make sure the details are precise. I avoid generic, mass-produced decor. Instead, I focus on specific elements that define the mood, like ornate brass urlis, marigold garlands, and custom-designed swings (oonjal) that make for great photos.
My Process
My approach is simple: I treat your event like my own. When you show me an inspiration photo, I don't just replicate it; I source the materials—often from as far as UP or Coimbatore—to ensure the quality meets my standards. I check every piece of wiring, every fabric drape, and every floral arrangement before the event begins. If I say I will be there at a certain time, my team and I ensure the setup is complete and ready, avoiding any last-minute stress for you.
What I Cover
- Traditional Backdrops: Authentic marigold and jasmine garlands, fresh banana leaves, and woven coconut leaf gates.
- Seating and Props: Brass urlis for rituals, throne-style seating for the bride or groom, and decorated swings.
- Vibrant Themes: Custom colour-blocked floral panels, hanging bells, and modern metallic accents that stand out in photos.
- End-to-End Setup: I handle the logistics, from lighting and structure assembly to the final clean-up, so you can enjoy the celebration.
