Wedding functions in Pakistan are all about colour, culture and celebration. From Mehndi and Dholki nights to the Nikkah ceremony and Rukhsati, every event has its own décor theme. Choosing the right wedding decoration items helps set the atmosphere, make photos look better, and bring your event together beautifully.

If you're preparing your wedding events, this guide highlights the most popular decor items used in Pakistan—along with our top-selling Mehndi and Nikkah products.

Top Wedding & Mehndi Decoration Items

Here are the top items from our wedding collection and how they can be used to decorate your events:

1. Dhol

A Mehndi or Dholki night feels incomplete without a decorated dhol. Whether placed at the entrance, used as a photo prop, or part of the dance floor setup, it instantly adds festive energy. Decorated dhols look great in photos, especially when paired with lights or floral garlands.

2. Garlands / Lariyaan

Artificial genda lariyaan and flower garlands are essential for Mehndi backdrops, entrance setups, thaal decor and photo booths. You can mix colours like yellow, orange, and green to create a desi-themed setup.

3. Nikkah Pouches

Soft Nikkah pouches are used to safely keep the nikkah papers and pens. They look neat on the ceremony table and match well with elegant trays and decor pieces.

4. Dandiya Sticks

Dandiya sticks are a fun addition for Mehndi dance performances. These colourful sticks look great in photos and can also be used as decorative pieces on the stage or backdrop.

5. Mehndi Hanging Boards

Decorative Mehndi hangings and boards instantly brighten up the venue. These can be used in:

• Backdrops

• Entry arches

• Photo corners

• Stage sides

They add character and give your event that festive Mehndi look.

6. Mehndi Thaal

A beautifully prepared Mehndi thaal is used to present ubtan, henna, bangles and sweets. You can match the thaal with your theme using genda flowers, mirrors, or colourful ribbons.

7. Jamawar Trays

Jamawar trays are a popular choice for gifting, nikkah arrangements and wedding displays. Their rich fabric and detailed pattern make them ideal for serving mithai, rings or favours.

8. Satin Baskets

Satin baskets are great for handing out mehndi giveaways, bangles, flower petals or party favours. Their smooth fabric finish makes them suitable for both Mehndi and Nikkah functions.

9. Velvet Trays

Elegant velvet trays are used for engagement rings, Nikkah items, wedding gifts and presentation sets. They look premium in photos and add a stylish touch to the main ceremony table.

10. Wooden Baskets
