About one in four: of the weddings booked with Panigrahana in 2026 with a value on record, 20% contracted ₹20 lakh to ₹50 lakh and 7% at ₹50 lakh or more (27% in all) for our planning, design and production scope, on booking records checked 24 October 2026.
Contracts at that level sit above three in four of the weddings on our book, whose 75th percentile is ₹20 lakh, and they pay for the design, the builds and the crew of the in-house model this page describes. The venue, food and rooms come on top, billed by the property.
The median across all of them is ₹10.8 lakh, so these weddings sit well above the middle of our book.

On the mandaps and reception stages Panigrahana built to October 2026, a statement mandap cost ₹9 lakh to ₹15 lakh and a statement stage ₹10 lakh to ₹12 lakh, so those two pieces alone come to ₹19 lakh to ₹27 lakh, on decor invoices read on 8 October 2026.
Both are single lines inside a decor engagement, and our decor starts at ₹5 lakh plus GST. The mandap price covers the structure, florals, riser, carpet, seating and design; the stage price covers fabric and florals. Entrances, ceilings, sound, light, furniture and transport come on top. If you have saved a look you love, ask for its mandap and stage as separate lines at each level. That shows you what the look costs and what a simpler version would change. A photograph cannot be priced exactly, because your venue's height, access and flower season all move the figure.
| Level | Mandap | Reception stage |
|---|---|---|
| Simple | ₹90,000 to ₹1.5 lakh | ₹80,000 to ₹1 lakh |
| Signature | ₹3 lakh to ₹4 lakh | ₹4 lakh to ₹6 lakh |
| Statement | ₹9 lakh to ₹15 lakh | ₹10 lakh to ₹12 lakh |

Design Philosophy
Panigrahana is a luxury wedding decor studio. Our own carpenters, welders and florists build Panigrahana decor from our production warehouses in Bangalore, Goa and Kerala. Our designers work alongside them, so design and build sit with one team. The studio brings together a design team for your wedding: florals, floral detailing, AV and production tech, structures, and both founders on the vision. Our studio has delivered 500+ weddings across 12 countries; fabrication, stock and hired items are agreed for each brief. We were founded by architects, and that heritage shapes everything we create. Architecture is the discipline of space, proportion, light, and human experience. When architects design a building, they don't assemble catalogue parts. They create something original from first principles, obsessing over every spatial relationship, every play of light, every material choice.
We bring exactly this discipline to wedding decor. When we design your mandap, we don't open a catalogue. We ask: what is the spatial relationship between this structure and the sky behind it? What does the light do at 6pm on your wedding day? What proportions honour the scale of this room without overwhelming it? What material speaks to your personality and cultural tradition simultaneously?
The result follows your approved design brief. Our studio develops the floral, lighting, material and spatial plan, and our production team builds the agreed elements in our own warehouses. The itemised proposal identifies fabrication, stock and hired items and assigns responsibility for installation and removal. Our guide to designed or rented decor compares the two on the eight points where they differ.
"Your brief, developed by our design team. Production agreed in writing."
What We Design
The mandap is the structural heart of your ceremony — a sacred architecture that frames the most important ritual of your life. We design mandaps as architectural objects: proportioned, structurally considered and drawn for that venue. Each proposal sets out the design, materials and production responsibilities for that venue.
From a 40-foot beachside floral aisle to an intimate jasmine-wrapped mehendi table, our florals are designed as three-dimensional sculptural installations. We work with florals from across India and source international blooms where the brief demands them.
Light is the single most powerful tool in event design — and the most frequently misused. Our lighting designers treat every space as a stage, using warm washes, pin-spotting, canopy lights, gobos, and flame effect to create atmosphere that transforms a venue.
Table settings for 300 guests are not just logistics — they are 300 opportunities to create beauty. Our tablescape design covers centrepieces, linens, china selection, glassware, name card design, and the full sensory experience of sitting at your reception tables.
The first 20 metres your guests walk set the entire emotional register of your wedding. Grand entrance portals, petal-strewn pathways, canopy tunnels of orchids, illuminated archways — the entrance is the overture to everything that follows.
Mehendi stations, photo zones, cocktail activation spaces, whisky bars with bespoke backdrops, sangeet stage design — the experiential elements of your wedding are as carefully designed as the ceremony. Every space your guests occupy is intentional.
How We Work
From first conversation to last flower, our process is structured to give you total confidence in every decision. For the Bangalore-specific context, read our complete Bangalore weddings guide; for cost benchmarks, our Bangalore wedding decor cost guide. Comparing studios? Our guide to wedding designers in India sets out how to judge one before you pay.
We begin with conversations — about you as a couple, your cultural references, the spaces you love, the feelings you want your wedding to create. From this, our design team develops an original concept direction for your entire wedding aesthetic.
We present a full design deck — mood boards, renders, material swatches, floral references, and a narrative that explains how each choice serves the whole. For clients abroad, physical swatches are couriered to your address.
Once the design is approved, our carpenters, welders and florists build the agreed elements from our production warehouses. The proposal identifies new fabrication, stock elements and any hired furniture, lighting or other equipment, with installation responsibilities recorded.
Our crew works to the access window your venue allows, checking levels, proportions and lighting positions against the approved drawing. Our standard is to finish at least two hours before doors, with the sound and light test done.
Why In-House
Our own carpenters, welders and florists build the agreed elements. Review the design and bill of quantities to understand what will be built, reused from stock or hired for your wedding.
Our crews build structures to your venue's real dimensions from our production warehouses in Bangalore, Goa and Kerala, so height, span and finish can be set for your site.
Our designers work alongside the people building your decor, so a drawing can be corrected before it reaches your venue. You approve the design and the itemised scope first, and any change comes back to you in writing.
Building in-house does not make decor cheap. It puts the design, the build and anything hired into one itemised proposal, so you can see what each part costs and ask about it.
Compare who draws the decor and who builds it: our own carpenters, welders and florists build Panigrahana decor from our production warehouses in Bangalore, Goa and Kerala, with our designers alongside them, as confirmed on 30 October 2026.
Put three questions to every company and get the answers in writing: who draws the design, whose crew builds it, and what is hired in. At Panigrahana our own teams make the decor, and anything we hire is itemised in your proposal. Our decor starts at ₹5 lakh plus GST, a starting budget rather than a price per function. If your budget sits below a company's start, ask what a smaller scope would cover. Then judge each company on one finished wedding you can see in full.

At Panigrahana, our own carpenters, welders and florists build the decor, installations included, from our production warehouses in Bangalore, Goa and Kerala, with our designers alongside them, as our founder confirmed on 30 October 2026.
Firms split this work differently, so the name on your proposal may not be the team on site. Ask any firm who will build your piece, then ask for an elevation with heights and a drawing beside a finished photograph of similar work. Load-in hours and rigging rules apply at every venue, so check them before you approve the design. A specialist medium such as balloon sculpture needs the same question: who makes it? With us, our own teams make the decor, and anything we hire is itemised in your proposal.

FAQ
The most consistent error we see in luxury wedding decor is a generic Indian wedding look applied to ceremonies that have a specific design vocabulary of their own. A Gujarati wedding has different proportions, different colour relationships, and different ritual objects than a Telugu wedding. A Punjabi baraat calls for a different kind of statement than a Kerala wedding where the processional happens on a palanquin against a backdrop of banana stems and brass lamps. These are not superficial differences — they affect the entire design system, from the mandap's structural language to the colour of the tablecloths.
At Panigrahana we design to the specific ritual grammar of each wedding rather than to a default idea of what Indian luxury looks like. This means the first design conversation always begins with the ceremonies — what is actually happening on each day, in what order, with what objects and rituals — before we make a single decision about materials or colour. The result is decor that feels right to the families rather than beautiful-but-generic. The two things are not the same, and discerning families feel the difference immediately.
Panigrahana is a full-service studio — we offer complete wedding planning plus decor, or decor-only mandates for couples who have a separate planner. Both are handled by the same team, to the same standard. Most of our clients engage us for the full scope.
Absolutely — we encourage it. Bring us your Pinterest boards, your Instagram saves, your fabric swatches, your grandmother's jewellery. We translate visual references and personal stories into original design. We never copy directly, but we understand the spirit of what you love and create something that honours it.
Yes. Our decor team travels to Bali and Thailand for international mandates. For international events, we fabricate the key structural elements (mandap frames, floral frames) in India and ship or transport them to the destination, sourcing florals and some supplementary elements locally with our partner vendors.
As of October 2026, Panigrahana's decor starts at ₹5 lakh plus GST. That is a minimum, not a price per function. On invoices read on 8 October 2026, a statement mandap and a statement reception stage came to ₹19 lakh to ₹27 lakh for those two pieces alone. The number of events, the venue, the flowers and the structures set the rest, and we itemise the decor in a written proposal after understanding your brief.
We recommend a minimum of 6 months for a standard event, and 9–12 months for complex multi-function celebrations or international destinations. Our design and production calendar fills up — especially for peak season (October–March) dates. Earlier is always better.
