To plan wedding function decoration, fix the date and venue first, then the colours, then the stage and lighting. This checklist covers nikah, mayun and mehndi for homes, halls and lawns.
What do you decide first?
- The date and the venue. Everything else depends on the space.
- The number of guests. This sets the size of the seating area and the stage.
- The colours. Mayun is usually yellow and orange. Nikah often uses white, cream and green. Mehndi can be bright and mixed.
What does each function usually need?
- Nikah: a clean stage or backdrop, flowers, soft lights and a seat for the couple.
- Mayun: drapes, marigolds, umbrellas and floor seating or low sofas.
- Mehndi: a colourful stage, a photo corner and seating for guests.
How do you plan the lighting?
Lighting changes how a stage looks in photos. Warm fairy lights suit flowers and drapes. For homes and lawns, ask about string lights on the gate, walls and trees. Check where power sockets are before the setup day.
What should you tell your decorator?
- The date, the time the venue opens for setup and the time of the function
- The venue and a photo of the stage area
- Your colours and one or two reference pictures
- The number of guests
