At Madhaniya, we design weddings the way architects design buildings — with intent, proportion, and a deep respect for tradition. We're looking for a designer who understands that a mandap is not just a structure, but a composition of light, texture, and meaning. If you think in elevation plans and mood boards simultaneously, this role was made for you.
What you'll do
- Conceptualise and design event spaces — Translate briefs into spatial concepts, from mandap layouts to full venue transformations. Think in 3D, present in mood boards and scaled sketches.
- Lead decor and floral direction — Drive floral design and decor selection across traditional South Indian ceremonies: Pellikuthuru, Seemantham, Pasupu, engagements, and receptions.
- Collaborate with clients and vendors — Build strong client relationships, present concepts confidently, and manage vendor coordination from sourcing to on-site installation.
- Own event execution — Be present across event days ensuring installations are executed to spec, handling real-time problem-solving with composure and creativity.
- Build our visual brand — Contribute to portfolio documentation, social media content, and internal design archives. An eye for behind-the-scenes storytelling is a plus.
What we're looking for
Background
- Degree in Architecture, Interior Design, or Spatial Design preferred
- Formal training in event or wedding design considered
- 1+ years in wedding or experiential design
- Familiarity with South Indian wedding traditions
Skills
- Strong spatial thinking and scale awareness
- Proficiency in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Photoshop or similar
- Canva and Adobe Suite for presentations
- Floral design sensibility — natural, wild, and textured
- Excellent client communication in Telugu or English
Mindset
- Detail-obsessed — nothing escapes your eye
- Calm under event-day pressure
- Collaborative, not territorial
- Genuine love for South Indian culture and aesthetics
Nice to have
- Experience with destination weddings
- Structural knowledge (tenting, rigging, load-bearing)
- Photography or content creation skills
- Vendor network in Hyderabad
- We are a small studio that does intentional, couture-level work. If you believe that every element of a wedding — the arch of a doorway, the weight of a garland, the way light falls on silk — is worth obsessing over, we'd love to meet you.
