Featured Event Decor: Traditional and Modern Themes
A look at my favorite projects, from classic South Indian ceremonies to playful, custom themed parties.
This is a classic South Indian Srimantham (baby shower) setup I designed. The stage features a beautiful floral backdrop with hanging jasmine and rose strings, traditional dolls depicting cultural scenes, and an elegant seating area for the mother-to-be, all brought together to create a festive and blessed atmosphere.
I love working with natural materials, and this eco-friendly baby shower backdrop is a perfect example. The entire wall is woven from fresh banana leaves, complemented by floral arrangements and a custom welcome sign, creating a vibrant and traditionally auspicious setting for a Seemantham ceremony.
For a modern take on a baby shower, I created this whimsical butterfly-themed decoration. The setup includes a large balloon arch in pastel pinks and blues, illuminated butterfly wings for a magical photo opportunity, and custom "Oh Baby" signage, perfect for a contemporary celebration or gender reveal party.
Welcoming guests is the first step of any celebration. For this Gruha Pravesh (housewarming), I designed a traditional and auspicious main door decoration using thick flower garlands and banana plants, setting a warm, inviting tone for the new home from the very entrance.
The cradle is the heart of a naming ceremony. Here, I created a beautiful setup with a flower-adorned cradle (thottil) and a matching backdrop of royal purple and white drapes, accented with a cute character cutout to add a playful touch for the little one's special day.
This grand stage was designed for a half-saree function, a significant milestone celebration. The decor features a lush backdrop of banana leaves and vibrant floral arrangements, with an ornate sofa for the main ceremony and a beautifully arranged display of traditional offerings in the foreground.
This is a vibrant setup for a Pellikoduku ceremony, a pre-wedding ritual for the groom. I used a frame of bright yellow chrysanthemums and a backdrop of woven coconut leaves to create a floral representation of the Tirumala namam, making the space feel both traditional and divine.
About Featured
I focus on using fresh, seasonal elements like woven banana leaves, marigolds, and tuberose to create authentic setups for your ceremonies. Whether it is a traditional baby shower or a modern themed party, I bring a mix of old-school charm and fresh ideas to every space. My process is collaborative, so bring your ideas or Pinterest boards, and we can adjust the design to fit your budget and venue.
My approach to decoration is all about balancing the traditional with the current. In this collection, you will see how I use eco-friendly materials like woven banana leaves and fresh floral strings to create that classic, warm atmosphere for events like Srimantham, Pellikoduku, and Gruha Pravesh. These are not just backdrops, they are about honoring the rituals while making the space look beautiful and celebratory.
For modern events, like birthdays or themed baby showers, I enjoy switching gears to incorporate elements like balloon arches, neon signs, and custom character cutouts. I have a soft spot for the little details—like how the right lighting or a specific floral border can change the entire feel of a room.
Based in Mahadevpura, I travel throughout Bangalore to set up these spaces. I work on a collaborative basis, meaning we start with your vision. If you have a specific color theme or a Pinterest photo you love, show it to me. I prefer working with natural materials whenever possible, but I am happy to mix in contemporary touches to get exactly the vibe you want for your event. If you are planning a ceremony, let's chat about what fits your space and your budget.
