My Favorite Event Setups & Designs

When I started The Balloon Tales five years ago, I did not think I would be working with brands like Sephora or Brides Today. The work here reflects my journey from small apartment balloon gigs to styling Bollywood homes.

Every project here has a different vibe. My balloon walls, for instance, are rarely just balloons. I work in custom neon signs, personalized photos, and specific color palettes to match the person. For a 21st birthday, that means capturing youth and energy. For a corporate anniversary, it means keeping it sharp with shimmer walls and gold accents.

Then there is the fresh floral work. I am picky about sourcing. I head to Dadar market early to get the best genda phool, tuberose, and jasmine. You will see this in the traditional Griha Pravesh setups where the scent of the flowers is just as important as the look. I love the contrast of these traditional roots with modern themes like a boho sundowner, where pampas grass and low seating take over.

If you look at the Brides Today conservatory shot, that was a massive challenge—building an indoor garden from scratch. It taught me that whether it is a living room or a studio, the principles are the same: focus on the details, make the lighting warm, and ensure the client feels like the space was designed just for them. Whatever your event, be it a Poker Night, a Nikah ceremony, or a 25th anniversary, I take the same approach. I get nervous before every setup because I care, and I want it to be perfect.
