Mediterranean favourites like bean hummus, beet hummus and muhammara, followed by truffle shiitake bao buns, dynamite bang bang prawn rolls, and red oil chicken wontons, were also a part of the culinary affair. Beloved Indian classics and desserts included tarts and gulab jamuns.

Inspired by the couple’s midsummer enchanted garden theme, the botanical-inspired tablescape tied every detail together, proving that the most memorable wedding menus are as beautiful as they are delicious.

Indian weddings have become increasingly upscale, with themes that reflect individuality, and tablescaping is finding its space here. From intimate dinners to grand receptions, the demand for curated aesthetics is on the rise. It’s not just about “decorating a table” but more about creating a better experience, visually and emotionally.

Suramya Uppal from The Maison Pantry told indianexpress.com that tablescaping is an element that falls under the broader category of catering, and focuses on the hardware and styling aspect of the service. In contrast, grazing tables are more food-focused, with the ingredients and their complementary pairings being the highlight of the arrangement.

Even though it finds itself at a very nascent stage in India right now, the customer base is usually very niche and elite for these businesses, which means it has a very select audience. Tablescaping has a promising future in the country as more people are embracing decor that combines elegance, sustainability, and personal meaning.
