The Poruwa is a traditional wooden platform used in Sinhalese Buddhist wedding ceremonies. It is typically decorated with white flowers, greenery, hanging jasmine garlands, and traditional brass elements. Modern Poruwa designs incorporate fairy lights, orchids, and contemporary floral arrangements while maintaining cultural authenticity.
Basic décor packages start from LKR 100,000, while premium full-venue transformations can exceed LKR 1,000,000+ depending on the scale, florals, and complexity of the design.
Yes, and most do. A modern floral arch behind the ceremony, brass oil lamps at the entrance, lotus arrangements on the tables. A good decorator will make the two sit together.
Jasmine, lotus, orchids, and temple flowers (frangipani) are traditional favourites. White flowers dominate Sinhalese Buddhist ceremonies, while colourful arrangements are popular for Tamil and Muslim celebrations. Many modern couples mix traditional blooms with roses, peonies, and seasonal flowers.
Some vendors offer both services, which ensures a cohesive look. However, if you want specialist floral design, hiring separately can be worthwhile. Ensure both vendors communicate and coordinate on the overall design vision.
