Designed, not just planned
How we would design a wedding at Royal Orchid Metropole, Mysore
A colonial facade with verandahs and a pool sets the palette: keep the mandap light and open, in the whites and golds of the building, and put the effort into lighting the facade after dark. Decor is in-house, so the design brief is agreed with the hotel's own team.
Which function goes where
| Haldi | The poolside lawn in the morning. |
|---|---|
| Mehendi | The conference hall or a corner of the lawn. |
| Sangeet | The banquet hall with the in-house DJ. |
| Wedding ceremony | The poolside lawns for up to 500. |
| Reception | The lawns after sunset, with the heritage facade lit. |
Season and weather
October to March is the comfortable window for the poolside lawns: Mysuru stays milder than Bengaluru, but April and May afternoons push outdoor functions to the evening, and from June to September an indoor hall is the rain plan. Dasara, in September or October, fills the city's hotels and roads, so check the festival dates before you hold one. The banquet hall is the rain plan for a smaller wedding.
