About this collection
For our Haldi setups, we prioritize durability and comfort alongside aesthetics. That is why we often use heavy-duty, lotus-shaped ground seating—it is sturdy enough for the playful chaos of the Haldi while giving you that perfect, elevated photo spot that does not get ruined by the turmeric paste.
We view the Haldi as the most candid, unfiltered event of the entire wedding schedule. It is the one time where tradition gets a bit messy and everyone truly lets their guard down. Our approach is to create a setting that looks refined but feels completely accessible.
We start by selecting a color palette that pops—usually vibrant yellows, oranges, and deep greens—using fresh marigolds and sunflowers to create a natural, sun-kissed atmosphere. We integrate traditional South Indian elements like brass Urli pots filled with water and floating petals, which ground the decor in local heritage.
Logistics and Reality Check: A common concern couples have is keeping the decor pristine during the ceremony. Because we specialize in both design and event planning, we anticipate this. We design our backdrops using weather-resistant materials and choose floral elements that hold up well in humidity or outdoor heat. Whether we are setting up poolside at a resort in Mysore or in a private residence in Bengaluru, we ensure the furniture is arranged to allow movement. We do not just build a stage; we build a space where your family can actually sit, laugh, and get messy without worrying about the structure behind them.
Wedding Stories
We are Bhavishath and Akshitha, the team behind Wedding Stories. After 12 years in the industry, we still find the most joy in the Haldi ceremony—it is raw, it is loud, and it is always full of love. We do not believe in cookie-cutter decorations; we would rather spend time finding the right shade of yellow to match your vision.
