Wedding design & planning since the first letter

Celebrations composed with the care of an heirloom.

Mehfil & Co. designs and runs weddings of three days or more in Udaipur and Goa, from the first unhurried conversation to the farewell brunch, with every garland, place card and hour of light considered.

The House

A small studio that plans fewer weddings, more slowly.

We take a limited number of celebrations each season so that the people who meet you in the first week are the same people standing beside the mandap on the last day. Our work begins with how your families gather, eat and laugh, and only then turns to flowers, fabric and light.

Everything we design is drawn first on paper, costed honestly, and made with craftspeople we have known for years: florists in Udaipur, tent makers in Jodhpur, and bakers and bands along the Goan coast.

i.

Listening before designing

An opening conversation of two unhurried hours, with both families if you wish, to understand rituals, elders, food and the music that must be played.

ii.

One palette, many rooms

Each event is its own room with its own mood, yet a single colour story runs from the haldi yellow of the first morning to the reception candlelight.

iii.

Calm on the day

Run sheets written to the minute, a dedicated family host, and a quiet room kept ready for grandparents who need a rest between ceremonies.

The Mood Board

Set the table, and see your wedding take shape.

Choose a colour story, the flowers you love, a setting and the number of events. The table redraws with every choice, and your selections travel with you into the enquiry card below, so our first conversation begins with your taste rather than a questionnaire.

    A sample celebration

    Three days, hour by hour.

    A typical Udaipur wedding as we might plan it, from a turmeric-bright first morning to pheras at sunset. Choose a day, then an event, to follow the light across the sky.

    The path of the sun across the day, with each event marked at its hour.

      Two coasts of our craft

      Udaipur for grandeur, Goa for ease.

      Rajasthan

      Udaipur, by the lake

      Palace courtyards that hold six hundred guests, lakeside ghats for the pheras, and rooftop terraces for an evening of ghazals. We know which walls glow at five and which breezes arrive at nine.

      How we work

      From the first letter to the last dance.

      Week one

      Weeks two to six

      ii.Design

      A bound design book with palettes, florals, drawings of each event, a venue shortlist and an honest budget broken down line by line.

      Months two to ten

      iii.Making

      Vendors contracted, samples approved, guest travel and rooms arranged, and a full rehearsal of every ceremony with the pandit or officiant.

      The days themselves

      iv.Hosting

      We run every hour on a shared run sheet, so that you and your parents are guests at your own wedding and never the ones holding a clipboard.

      Fees

      Planning and design, priced openly.

      Our fee is set by the number of events and the size of the guest list, and it is quoted separately from venue, décor production, catering and hospitality, which we pass through at cost with every invoice shared. The mood board above gives an indicative figure; a written proposal follows our first conversation.
