Gātha designs wedding décor for Pune families as part of a planned celebration: moodboards and palettes first, then 3D layouts, floral design, lighting, stage production, installations, tablescapes and signage. The family reviews and approves the design before anything is produced. Gātha takes weddings with a total budget from Rs 30 lakh, and the planning fee starts at Rs 2,00,000.
What wedding decorators Pune families hire are asked to deliver
Wedding decorators Pune families approach are usually briefed in one of two ways. Either the family chooses from ready stage designs, or a team draws something for one wedding only. Gātha works the second way. Décor and experience design is one of its core services, and it covers the whole look of a celebration, from the entrance to the stage to the dining table.
Luxury wedding decor, as Gātha uses the term, has little to do with expensive materials. It means that the floral palette, the lighting, the structures and the signage all agree with each other and with the family. Gātha is a boutique planner and atelier in Pune, Maharashtra, and takes a limited number of weddings each year. Décor is designed alongside the planning, not after it, which is why the stage, the timeline and the ritual needs are settled together. The services page shows where décor sits among the other things the team does.
What a Gātha décor design contains
Every wedding gets its own design file. The parts are the same; what goes into them is not.
- Moodboards and colour palettes built around the family, the rituals and the feeling wanted in the room.
- 3D layouts of each function, so the stage, seating and entrances can be judged before anything is built.
- Floral design, planned to the palette and to the hours the flowers must last.
- Lighting design, including how the room looks at the ceremony and how it changes for the evening.
- Stage production and bespoke installations, such as a photo moment, an entrance feature or a mandap.
- Tablescapes, signage and the small guest touchpoints that make a venue feel arranged rather than hired.
Gātha does not decorate wedding cars, and it does not offer venue booking on its own. Both are outside the work.

Nothing is produced until the family has seen it and said yes. The order is fixed, and each step builds on the one before it.
- The brief: the functions, the rituals, the guest count and the mood the family wants.
- Moodboards and a palette, reviewed and narrowed down.
- 3D layouts for each function, viewed from the stage, the entrance and the guest seating.
- Floral and lighting design added to the layouts.
- A review where changes are made, followed by approval, and only then production.
For a Pune family the review can happen in person, at the venue or in a meeting. Relatives in other cities join through digital drawings and video reviews. The approved layout is what the team builds, so what the family signs off is what they walk into.
What shapes a wedding décor design in Pune
Four things decide most of a design before taste enters the conversation.
Functions
A mehendi, a sangeet and a ceremony ask for different rooms. A mehendi often wants seating at floor level and shade; a sangeet needs a stage and sight lines for performers; the ceremony needs a ritual space that the elders can see and reach.
Venue
An indoor hall, a lawn and an open terrace each limit what can be hung, lit or powered. Ceiling height, rigging points, available electrical load and the way vehicles reach the entrance all change the design. Ask the venue for these facts early, because a drawing that ignores them has to be redrawn later.
Season
Pune has a monsoon, roughly June to September, and a hot stretch before it. Outdoor setups in the rains need a covered plan that looks intended, not improvised. In the hot months, daytime functions need shade, and flowers need protection from the sun.
Ritual needs
Maharashtrian weddings and the formats of other communities differ in what the ceremony space must hold. Gātha asks the family rather than assuming. Practical points include where a ritual fire sits relative to fabric and flowers, where the priest and the families stand, and how guests are seated so that they can watch.
Questions to ask any wedding décor team
These work for Gātha and for anyone else you are considering.
- Who draws the design, and who builds and installs it?
- Will we see a 3D layout of each function before we approve?
- What is the rain plan, and does it look as good as the main plan?
- How much of the set-up must happen before the venue hands the space over?
- What electrical load does the lighting need, and has the venue confirmed it?
- Who is on site during the function to correct problems, and who is in charge of them?
- How are flowers refreshed between two functions on the same day?
- What can change after approval, and what is the cost of a change?
- What does the quote include, and what is charged separately?
Where décor sits in the wider plan
Décor on its own is a list of objects. Inside a plan, it is tied to the timeline: when the venue opens, when vendors may enter, when the photographers need the stage finished, and when the ritual begins. That is why Gātha designs décor with the planning, and why a family planning with a wedding planner in Pune sees the décor and the schedule on the same page. Families marrying in Mumbai face a different set of constraints, covered on the Mumbai décor page.
Venue, décor and vendor costs sit inside the family's own budget and are shown transparently. Gātha's planning fee is separate and covers design, planning and direction. It starts at Rs 2,00,000 for weddings of Rs 30 to 60 lakh and rises in tiers with the overall investment. Weddings with a total budget under Rs 30 lakh are not taken on.
To judge the look of the work, open the portfolio and ask of any image which function it came from and how it was lit. If you would like to proceed, share your dates, scale and investment on the application form. The team reads every enquiry personally and replies within two working days.
