Simple Haldi Decoration Set Ups
1. Marigold Shower!
Nothing gendaphool like in a Haldi day. Keep in mind that to get a specific look for your best haldi decoration, the place also matters. Although we can easily replicate the decoration with these tricks, the final look will be very different.
- To create this gorgeous shower of marigolds, you need to have over 100 strands of marigolds. This cascading effect will depend on the size of the place/room. The larger the room, the more marigold threads.
- Choose the length of the floral chain according to the height of the ceiling. Make sure no one touches the strings, otherwise there will be chaos in the middle of the performance. Have a 50-50 mix of shorter and longer strings to create that waterfall effect
- String thick ropes across the ceiling to create a base for hanging these strings of marigolds. You may need a local vendor’s help on this and for 10-12k they will help you put this together as well.
- Once the base is ready, tie one short and one long string of marigold to fill the entire ceiling. Don’t leave spaces too large to create the illusion of a floral ceiling.
- To sit on you can choose two pretty stools made of brass or wicker and decorate them with similar flowers.
2. Decorated Wooden Bench
Find yourself a wooden bench and decorate it so that it no longer looks like a bench. Accompany it with vases and baskets filled with flowers, a simple and creative haldi decoration at home. You can also choose a wallpaper that goes well and matches the other haldi decorating ideas.
3. Urli Magic
The brass urlis are the only thing that ruled the haldis in 2022 and they are going strong in 2023 too! And the best part? It’s an easy idea to set up!
- You can rent two statement urlis from your local provider for around 5k each. Make sure the URLs are clean and polished before they are delivered to you. You can also get matching diya sets from the same brass supplier
- Set up a deck on your lawn and cover it with yellow fabric or even paint the deck.
- Create or rent a large wooden frame and plant it properly within the lawn or have a stand to place it. Renting it should cost you around 5-7k for 5-6 hours. All you have to do is cover the photo frame with flowers now.
- So go all out with the flowers of your choice. We recommend gendaphool in orange so they are cheap and look great in photos. Garlands to cover the wooden support, petals for a shower of flowers and loose flowers to decorate. Pick any local florist at a phool market who will give you a wholesale rate. It will cost you 7-10k. It’s ready!
4. Green And Yellow Wonder
- This banana leaf backdrop setting is an easy to use yet stunning haldi decor idea at home or even venue.
- Rent a large wooden or foam backdrop that can be attached to a wall or planted on a stand if it’s an outdoor location. This should cost you around 10-15k to hire a big one with foam for a day.
- All you have to do is take some fresh banana leaves and stick them to the bottom of the foam board. Remember that banana leaves have a very short shelf life, so you can’t make them a day or two ahead of time. You have to do it on the day of the event.
- If you don’t like fresh leaves, choose Amazon’s fake banana leaves which are more expensive than fresh, but you can make this wallpaper and have fun!
