Designed, not just planned
How we would design a wedding at Welcomhotel by ITC Hotels, Richmond Road
A 14 ft ceiling over a 100 x 33 ft room is a long, fairly low space. Height will not carry the design here, so length should: a stage at one short end, a clear aisle and repeated elements down the long walls that lead the eye to the couple. Florals and lighting at a human scale work better than tall structures. If the couple want the sustainability angle, we can build the decor from reusable and fabric elements, as we did for a wedding at Chamara Vajra with flowers stitched from tailoring offcuts.
