Episode 026 | Indian Wedding Podcast: Alex & David on Flowers, Finances & Fun


Indian Wedding Podcast: Your Monthly Wedding Podcast Lists

Hi Reader

At Indian weddings, décor is often the heart of what makes each celebration unique. It’s all about that first impression — the wow factor that families want their guests to experience.

In this episode, we chat with Alex and David from Square Root Designs, who take us behind the scenes of those extravagant, Pinterest-worthy wedding setups we all admire.

Based in Irvine, CA, Square Root Designs has been in the floral and event design industry since 2002. Their impressive client list includes President George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Kim Kardashian, Kobe Bryant, and many more.

We had such a fun and insightful conversation about design, execution, and—most importantly—budgeting. Alex and David break down what things actually cost, share their advice on venue selection (and why it can dramatically affect both design and cost), and tell us about one of their favorite projects — complete with the creative engineering behind those breathtaking Indian wedding designs.

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did — it’s full of inspiration, practical tips, and a peek into the artistry behind luxury wedding décor.

Love,

Jinal and Kunal, Hosts @indianweddingpodcast

“Flowers are an interesting business, as you don't just have to make it look pretty, but you also have to think about engineering.” - Alex

Valentines day Gifts

Hi Reader How does one make their love feel special? For a long time, Valentine’s Day felt like a product of marketing and economics to me. A single day, packaged and sold, asking us to prove something that should be felt every day. I strongly believe that love isn’t meant to be celebrated just once a year. It lives in us every day. But somewhere in my forties, my relationship with this holiday shifted. I realized Valentine’s Day isn’t really about roses or grand gestures. It’s about focus....

Hi Reader, There’s a certain kind of message that instantly lights me up-when a husband reaches out wanting to design a custom piece for his wife. There’s something incredibly special about being trusted with that kind of love story. And when it comes to mangalsutras, the meaning goes even deeper. To me, a mangalsutra is unlike any other piece of jewelry. It’s intimate. It’s symbolic. It’s a daily reminder of love and marriage, one of the most meaningful pieces a woman can wear in Hindu...

Hi Reader The festive season is here—Navaratri, Diwali, and Karwa Chauth are just around the corner. It’s that magical time when the air sparkles with celebration, and jewelry becomes more than an accessory—it becomes part of your story. I still remember the pieces my mother wore—her everyday bangles, her favorite rings. When I wear them now, I’m instantly reminded of her laughter, her grace, and the joy of family gatherings. That’s the magic of jewelry. It’s not just gold, diamonds, or...
