What a wedding decorator must get right for a Jain wedding

Reaching for the default marigold-and-red mandap set. It is not offensive, it is just visibly not a Jain wedding, and every guest notices.

The requirements

Specific and checkable. Take this list to any wedding decorator in your city.

  • Ashtamangal and lotus motifs rather than the generic marigold-and-mandap kit
  • Restrained palette — ivory, soft gold, muted coral; heavy saturation reads as somebody else’s wedding
  • Ask before using fresh flowers in specific ritual spaces; some families prefer minimal cut flowers

Ask them this

Word for word. The answers tell you more than the portfolio does.

  • “Can you show me a Jain wedding you have decorated, not a Hindu one?”
  • “Do you know the ashtamangal symbols, and would you use them correctly?”

Who has confirmed they do this

Nobody yet — we are still calling. We speak to around 150 Gujarat wedding vendors a week, and we are now asking each one whether they meet this brief. Only vendors who tell us yes, directly, will appear here.

We could have filled this section by guessing which businesses are Jain from their names. That would have been quicker and it would have been made up. The list below stays empty until it is real.

Are you a wedding decorator who meets this brief? Tell us and we will list you. No fee, now or ever.
