About Event Design & Styling for Special Occasions
My Design Philosophy
Every celebration has its own story. I don’t just put up decorations - I try to feel the mood, get to know your quirks, and make the whole event feel like you. Sometimes the inspiration is a colour you love, a memory, or even your dadi’s (grandma’s) favourite flower. My goal? You walk in and say, "Yeh toh bilkul hum jaisa hai!" (This is just like us!)
How We Work Together
First, I listen. Your Pinterest boards, your wild ideas, even that one offbeat thing you saw at your cousin’s wedding - all of it. I mix that with my own creative party styling and suggest options that fit your vibe, whether it’s something regal, boho, or totally quirky. No two events ever look the same because no two people are the same.
Making Every Occasion Feel Special
- Weddings & Pre-Wedding: Forget cookie-cutter stuff. From unique event backdrops to intimate mehendi corners, I like to keep things personal and fresh.
- Birthdays & Anniversaries: I turn stories into decor. Like, for an 80th birthday, I used model cars and a soothing powder blue - all because that’s what the birthday boy loved.
- Family Functions: Christenings, housewarmings - I add thoughtful, meaningful details, like a suggestion tree or a perfumed welcome.
The Magic Is in the Details
It’s not just about how it looks, but how it feels. Little things like a story corner, interactive boards, or even traditional hand fans for a hot day - these details make your guests smile and make memories. My focus is always on personalized celebration decor that feels real and yours.

My Story
People say we’re like fairy godmothers for your big days. I’m Sonia, and really, I just love seeing people’s stories come alive in a room. Started Lumosbysonia because, for me, decor isn’t just about making things look good – it’s about making them feel like you. That moment when someone walks in and says, ‘This is so us!’ – that’s what keeps me going. We’re all about that feeling.
