Behind the Scenes at Decor by Manvi
Get a peek at how the magic happens before the guests arrive. From inflating hundreds of balloons to draping the perfect backdrop, here is a look at what goes into making your day special.
Teamwork makes the dream work. This video shows my team and I assembling a large sequin shimmer wall and balloon arch for a birthday party at a restaurant.
It's all in the details. The final step for many of my balloon arrangements is adding a special spray that gives them a beautiful, long-lasting shine.
A quick before and after of a floral backdrop. I start with the raw materials like artificial flowers and greenery and build them into a lush, beautiful arrangement complete with hanging lights.
I love getting hands-on with custom creations. Here I am building a 4-foot tall mosaic letter from scratch and filling it with red and gold balloons for a client's birthday backdrop.
My weekends are all about bringing celebrations to life. This is a glimpse into the variety of setups I work on, from birthday parties and anniversaries to haldi ceremonies.
About Behind the Scenes
My process is not just about putting up a backdrop. It is about the hours spent gluing balloon arches, spraying them with a special shine, and ensuring your neon sign stays secure on the wall. When I am on-site, I am the one with tape on my clothes and a focus on getting the fabric pleats just right so your celebration feels effortless.
People usually see the polished final result on Instagram, but the real work happens in the hours before. Whether I am setting up a bedroom surprise in a Navi Mumbai apartment or a large-scale anniversary party in Lonavala, my priority is the stability and finish of the decor. I spend a lot of time perfecting organic balloon garlands, ensuring the colors blend, and that the 'shine spray' is applied evenly so they don't look dull under the lights.
Working in different venues means I have to be adaptable. A restaurant wall might require a different taping technique than a house wall, and outdoor setups in Karjat often need extra reinforcement against the breeze. I bring my own frames, floral runners, and neon signs, handling the setup and the eventual teardown so you do not have to lift a finger.
My style is to stay hands-on with every detail, from cutting the floral foam to creating 4ft mosaic letters from scratch. This is the messy, creative side of event decor that I love, because it is how I ensure that when you walk into your event, you just see the magic and not the effort behind it.
