A photograph can show a look you love. It cannot tell a decorator how many entrances to dress, when a stage must be ready, or whether the same flowers can move between functions. For an Ayodhya wedding, start with a brief for each space and each event. Then ask every shortlisted team to price that same plan.
This guide focuses on the décor itself: what goes where, who supplies it, and how the setup changes through the celebrations. For the wider spending plan, see our Ayodhya wedding budget guide.
Walk the booked spaces before choosing a look
Bring the decorator's proposed layout to the venue team before confirming it. Mark the ceremony area, stage, seating, buffet, entrances and guest routes. Ask which dimensions the venue can confirm and which need a site measurement.
An indoor hall and a lawn need separate plans. Park Inn by Radisson Ayodhya's official wedding page describes a banquet hall with direct access to its lawn. That connection may matter to your guest route and setup, but it does not establish which areas your booking includes or what décor is permitted. Get those answers for your event.
Keep the walkways visible on the drawing. Discuss the position of freestanding pieces, cables and furniture with the venue and the people installing them. A beautiful entrance still needs to work when guests arrive together.
Make one short brief per function
For each event, write the date, exact space, guest count, setup-ready time and time when the area must be cleared. Name one family contact who can approve decisions.
Then list the pieces you want: entrance treatment, ceremony structure, stage or backdrop, seating details, table arrangements, signs and lighting. Specify quantities and approximate sizes for the decorator to verify. Say what the venue supplies so the quote does not quietly include the same furniture twice.
Choose a few reference photographs and annotate them. “We like these colours and the open backdrop” is more useful than “make it exactly like this.” A photograph from another venue may conceal a very different room size or ceiling.
Describe the materials, not just the colour
Two proposals can use the same palette and deliver different work. Ask what is fresh, artificial, rented, custom-made or supplied by the venue. For flowers, request the proposed varieties, where they will be used and which substitutions require approval.
Ask for an example or sample where a finish matters. Fabric, printed graphics, furniture and the detail behind a backdrop can change how a design looks in the room. Agree how any changes will be documented.
Avoid treating a catalogue photograph as proof of what a local team will supply. Ask which elements in their example belong to their work and which were already part of the venue.
Plan reuse as a move between events
If you want to reuse décor, identify the actual pieces and the move. Which arrangement leaves which space? Who dismantles it, carries it and reinstalls it? When will the receiving area be ready?
For example, moving welcome signage from a daytime function to an evening reception is a different job from rebuilding a ceremony backdrop. Ask the decorator to assess the plan rather than assuming everything can travel intact.
Write down any extra labour, vehicle or replacement-material charge. Reuse is useful only when it fits the event schedule and still gives the next function an appropriate setup.
Give an outdoor plan an indoor alternative
If a function uses a lawn, request a version of the design for the agreed indoor alternative. Identify what can move, what must be replaced and who decides to switch.
Discuss the decision time with the venue and decorator. Leave the practical questions to the teams responsible for the equipment and space, including how they handle weather and installation conditions. Do not accept “we will manage” as the entire plan.
The alternative should include seating, the ceremony area and the guests' route, rather than only a smaller backdrop.
Compare the finished scope and the full quote
Ask each team to separate design, materials, rentals, lighting, installation, transport, dismantling and any other charges. Record the final payable total and the assumptions behind it.
Check the setup and removal windows against your venue booking. Ask who coordinates access and who remains available during the function. Confirm payment dates, changes, cancellation terms and what happens if an agreed item cannot be supplied.
Keep one approved version of the brief, drawing and quote. If you add an entrance or change a stage later, ask for the revised scope and cost in writing.
A message you can send to a decorator
“We are planning functions on [dates] at [venue and spaces]. Please quote separately for the attached event briefs. We would like [key pieces and quantities], using [preferred materials and colours]. Please identify venue-supplied items, setup and removal times, proposed reuse, an outdoor alternative where needed, and the complete cost with booking terms.”
Use the responses to refine a workable design with the venue. For the spaces themselves, our Ayodhya venue guide explains what to ask when comparing published capacities.
