Anand had a similar mindset when designing Indian-Colombian couple, content creator and personal stylist Arushi Mehra and fintech entrepreneur Miguel Villaquiran’s Catholic wedding ceremony in New Delhi. Ethereal and romantic were the keywords, but Anand introduced elements like disoriented chandeliers, overgrown greens, decorative ironwork and tall arches to keep it from looking too symmetrical.

Focus On The Aisle And Altar

The aisle and the altar it leads to become the centrepiece of the décor at the ceremony, and also a big focus of the photographs from the ceremony. So, if there is one area you should go lush with your décor, this is it. Mirror pathways or those covered with petals complementing the bride’s dress are popular. Add floral hedges and candles to line the path. “But keep practicality in mind too. There should be enough seating on both sides of the aisle for your guests, with clear views of the altar,” adds Anand.

Add Personalised Details

Think of unique ways to personalise your décor that can engage your guests, tell them more about you and even incorporate details inspired by the destination. Notes and illustrations talking about your vows or love story are one way to do this. Monogrammed initials or custom signage (no, not the hashtag!) can be used at the altar. The additions can be conversation starters as well. Mehra’s sit-down dinner, for instance, had a note with some basic Spanish words for their guests to learn, as a nod to her husband’s native language. For their Roman wedding, content creator Shloka Narang Sensarma and entrepreneur Shiv Sensarma, decided to get creative with the name place settings. All the tables were named after streets in Rome that meant something to the couple. The place settings were accompanied with a beautiful key, “almost like a key to Rome,” says the bride, that was a recreation of the logo and a keepsake for their guests.
