Floral Welcome Signs

Garden Wedding

The first impression is always the most meaningful. With its warmth and mystery, it should gently guide your guests into your floral fairytale.

Blooming Table Centrepieces

Garden Wedding

Wedding guests spend most of their time at the wedding table. Make the tables a key element of the celebration by using the art of bloom to create opulence rooted in seasonal flowers. For a personalised Indian touch, miniature bells, pearls or embroidered runners can be added. Each table becomes a garden curated within this Edenic venue, reflecting thoughtful flower decoration at its finest. 

Chandelier Glory

Garden Wedding

Nothing says luxury quite like the chandeliers with their old-world charm. Suspended from trees or bespoke floral frames, these glowing glories add a dramatic yet personal magic to the venue. Crystal chandeliers paired with lush flowers create a glimmering scene, where romance meets the glory of nature. For a desi take, one can consider jhumar-style lights, cages or antique lanterns which unexpectedly transform the garden into an outdoor palace of dreams, glimmering with sophistication and wrapped in floral whispers. 

Sacred Bloom- The Mandap

In Indian weddings, love blooms for eternity at the mandap. In a garden setting, it should feel truly divine, blessed by nature itself. Four-pillared structures wrapped in opulent florals create a blessing from above. Hanging lotuses, mogra strands, and floral canopies enhance the serene vibes of the setup. This sacred space, in the lap of nature, becomes a true symbol of a love story written in florals, straight out of a fairytale.
