For a true South Indian aesthetic, I work exclusively with fresh, local materials, such as heavy banana leaves, fragrant jasmine, and real brassware. If you have been searching for that homey temple vibe without the clutter of a typical event hall, that is exactly what I focus on. I want your mandap to smell like jasmine and look like a sanctuary, not just another backdrop. When I style a South Indian wedding, the goal is not to create a set but to cultivate an atmosphere. Many couples come to me wanting that quintessential temple grandeur, but they are often worried about the venue looking too sterile or, conversely, too chaotic. My design process starts with the architecture of the space. Whether we are transforming a private villa or a hotel ballroom, I rely on organic textures. You will not find synthetic drapes on my mandaps. Instead, we use real mango leaf torans, woven marigold strings, and fresh banana plantain pillars to build the structure. These materials age beautifully throughout the day, retaining that lush, vibrant energy that artificial decor simply cannot match. I focus heavily on brassware. We curate collections of vintage urulis, Samai lamps, and Nandi idols to ground the space. It adds weight and history to the setup. For guests, I often design interactive elements, such as a traditional basket of fresh flowers for ritual offerings or hand-illustrated booklets that explain the significance of the pelli rituals. It turns the ceremony into a shared experience, rather than something they are watching from the sidelines. If you have a specific venue in mind, I work with the existing light. If it is a morning wedding, we play with natural shadows and vibrant yellows. For evening ceremonies, we layer real wax diyas to create that warm, flickering glow characteristic of heritage temples. It is intentional, rooted in tradition, and designed to make your guests feel the sanctity of the moment. ## About Mint Events I'm Janhavi. I believe your wedding should feel like a piece of your history. I live for the quiet, honest moments, like the smell of fresh jasmine, the flicker of a brass diya, and the way a perfectly placed mango leaf can change the entire energy of a room.
