Indian Wedding Decor Ideas | Mehndi | Sangeet | Umbrella Centerpieces

Planning a reasonable Indian and South Asian wedding budget means knowing what you can afford to spend and when, then deciding what matters to you most, then applying your dollars appropriately does not have to be difficult. You can have a great wedding day, no matter the size of your budget and Veroika Khar is here to help you plan accordingly. Having an idea up front helps you know what you expect.

Centerpieces: Select flowers that are in season and locally available. To this it’s best to contact your florist. To help save on your centerpieces, you’ll probably find you can save considerably on cost — especially if you make it clear with your florist or event planner that cutting cost is a high priority. At iDesign Events we also have a variety of amazing centerpieces that are Luxury Silks and are made to order. See more options here. Availability on fresh flowers and price vary from city to city, and region to region, but you’ll probably find that Gerbera daisies, traditional daisies, carnations, chrysanthemums, statice, Queen Anne’s Lace, freesia, baby’s breath and gladiolus are your best priced flowers. Irises are an economical choice for Spring but tricky to make a rounded centerpiece from, which is also the best season for violets, daffodils and tulips. Various kinds of lilies are most plentiful (and best priced) in the summer months; sunflowers and orange blossoms are most abundant in the Fall. Avoid roses and orchids — they’re widely available but pricey. And stay away from white blossoms. They bruise easily, so florists must go through larger quantities to find good ones, and to match the shade, thus the cost is higher. I know this might sound overwhelming but we are here to help by giving you as many options as we can and to stay within your budget.

Picking a Theme.

Theme the event to hide what’s not included. Picking a theme for your reception celebration can be a great way to cut costs. You don’t have to be of Mexican descent to turn your reception into a fiesta — and a spectacular banquet of traditional Mexican food will probably cost less than prime rib and asparagus. Continue your theme (and budget-management) by limiting the bar to imported Mexican beers and margueritas. Your guests won’t miss the martinis while dining on machaca. Another possibility: serve a family-style southern Italian banquet and limit the bar choices to red and white wines with dinner, limoncelo and espresso with dessert. Or follow your barefoot, beach wedding with bonfire-grilled chicken and corn, vegetable kabobs, buckets of beer on ice and a fruity sangria.

If you are needing a team of staff to complete your reception by having your family do the catering, we are here to help. We offer full service Event Management.
