Indian Wedding Design & Planning

in Southern California

Why Choose 2Create Designs for Your Indian Wedding

Look, we’re going to be straight with you. Indian weddings are complicated. You’re managing three, four, sometimes five separate events. Guest counts that hit 400, 500 people. Family expectations about traditions. And somehow you’re supposed to enjoy this while coordinating it all?

That’s where we come in.

South Asian weddings are a major specialty for us—not a side project, not something we figured out last year. Based in Anaheim, CA, we’ve spent years designing celebrations for families throughout Orange County, Los Angeles, the South Bay, Riverside, and across Southern California’s vibrant South Asian communities.

Cultural Understanding Meets Fresh Design: We understand why certain colors matter for specific ceremonies. We know regional differences. But we also bring contemporary perspective that keeps your wedding from feeling like every other Indian wedding you’ve been to. The goal? Something that honors tradition while feeling unmistakably yours.

Full-Service Approach: Custom floral design, mandap creation, draping installations, lighting, furniture coordination, complete setup and breakdown. One team managing every visual element. No juggling five different vendors who’ve never worked together.

Multi-Day Experience: Your Mehndi should feel vibrant. Sangeet needs energy. Ceremony deserves reverence. Reception calls for elegance. We design across your entire wedding arc, creating distinct atmospheres that still feel connected.

Proven Process: Our seven-step design process takes you from consultation through installation with complete transparency. We typically recommend connecting 6-12 months before your wedding—multi-day celebrations need proper planning time for custom mandap design, floral sourcing, and those detailed mock-ups that ensure everything’s perfect.

What We Design for Your Celebration

Mandap Design & Creation
The mandap is where the magic happens—literally the most important focal point of your ceremony. We’ve designed everything from traditional four-pillar structures with marigold garlands to contemporary circular mandaps with cascading orchids. Classic or modern, we create mandaps that photograph beautifully while honoring what this sacred space represents for your family.

Comprehensive Floral Design
Traditional marigolds to contemporary roses and orchids, our custom floral designs work within Southern California’s climate while creating that lush atmosphere Indian weddings deserve. Bridal bouquets, family garlands, ceremony installations, reception centerpieces—the complete package.

Event-Specific Design
Each celebration needs its own approach. Mehndi gets bright installations, comfortable seating, vibrant textiles. Sangeet demands dramatic lighting, statement pieces, stage designs for performances. Your ceremony receives elegant arrangements and atmospheric lighting. Reception balances sophistication with celebration through refined tablescapes.

Venue Transformation
Most Orange County venues weren’t built with Indian weddings in mind. We use luxurious draping (silks, organzas, velvets) to transform spaces, create intimacy within large ballrooms, and reference traditional textiles while keeping things modern. Strategic lighting—uplighting on mandaps, dynamic systems for Sangeet, smooth transitions from daylight to evening—changes everything.

Complete Rental Solutions
From our Anaheim location, we provide premium rental inventory: sophisticated seating for hundreds, lounge furniture, specialty linens, charger plates, custom pieces. Everything coordinated, everything consistent.

Our Approach & Common Questions

Here’s what around 70% of couples don’t realize: each event needs distinct design while still feeling connected. We create a design language that carries through but expresses differently at each celebration.

Your color story might progress from saturated tones at Mehndi to jewel tones at Sangeet to traditional ceremony colors. Florals evolve. Lighting shifts. But everything belongs to your celebration.

Strategic Investment: Most families allocate heaviest to ceremony design (that mandap deserves attention), with substantial focus on Sangeet since it’s the most photographed social event. We help you decide where to splurge and where smart choices create impact without breaking budget.

Can you accommodate our specific traditions?
Absolutely. Gujarati, Punjabi, South Indian—we work closely with families to incorporate regional and religious traditions authentically.

Traditional or contemporary?
We design across the full spectrum. Some families want classic marigolds and traditional palettes. Others want contemporary interpretations. Most fall somewhere in the middle, and honestly, that’s where the most interesting designs happen.

Working with our planner?
Many of our Indian wedding clients work with specialized South Asian planners. We collaborate seamlessly—they handle logistics, we focus on aesthetics.

Multiple venues?
Pretty common, actually. We design and install across different locations regularly, maintaining that cohesive feel regardless of venue.

We serve families throughout Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Palm Springs, and across Southern California. From hotel ballrooms to historic estates, we’ve designed in virtually every venue type this region offers.

Meet Our Chief Creative Officer

Saman Shah

Orange County raised, Saman Shah found her start in event design when she was in the midst of planning her very own wedding twelve years ago.

Unable to find anyone who could understand her vision for her dream wedding decor, she set out to create and design on her own and turn her vision into reality.

Saman loves pursuing her calling and finds excitement every day on the job.

Her favorite moments are when she’s approached and recognized as “Saman from 2Create Designs,” as she is proud of her company and its accomplishments.

It has been my absolute pleasure to work with Saman on a few family events. From my brother’s wedding to my own baby shower, she makes the decor and design process, fun, efficient, and most of all creates unique, breathtaking events. Her attention to detail and creative ideas are unsurpassed and I can’t wait to plan my next celebration with Saman and her team at 2Create Designs.

I just wanted to thank Saman and her team for making our wedding a huge success. I never had to worry about a single thing because I knew they would do an amazing job. As I walked into the ballroom on the day of our wedding, my expectations were completely surpassed. Everything from the flowers, the stage, the aisle, to the lighting was absolutely perfect. Our guests cannot stop talking about how much fun and how unique our wedding was. It was straight out of a magazine. Everything went exactly as planned, which allowed me to really relax and enjoy myself. I would definitely recommend 2Create Designs to anyone looking for a breathtaking and unique wedding that both you and your guests will never forget.

2Create Designs, and specifically Saman, exceeded all of my expectations. Saman was always available and responsive to bounce ideas around, so nice to work with, always went the extra mile to help keep things affordable, and most importantly, has SUCH a great eye for detail. She brought all of my visions to life and put in the extra touches to make things really special. The decor at my wedding reception was everything I could have asked for and more. Saman even made me a gorgeous bouquet matching my reception theme as a wedding present! If I had it to do all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Abi & Paras

I have used 2Create Designs for 2 of my events and have already booked her for the third (my Son’s Wedding). Saman was able to interpret my vision 100% and make my dreams come true. When I walked into my party, I was thrilled to see her work and how the whole theme came to life. Not only was Saman full of ideas, but also fun to work with…..looking forward to working with Saman again & again!
