Meet the Visionaries

Twenty years of getting it right

Luxury clients invest in the people behind the work. So here we are.

Sanjeewani Senarathna and Pubudu Wijesinghe, founders of Shine by Sanjeewani

01 — The Founders' Legacy

Sanjeewani & Pubudu

Shine by Sanjeewani is a husband-and-wife studio. Sanjeewani Senarathna is the creative heart of the practice — the eye behind every palette, every silhouette, every decision about how a room should make you feel.

Pubudu Wijesinghe is the structural and operational master. Fabrication, rigging, logistics and the timeline that has to hold on the day: that is where two decades of experience quietly does its work.

Together they have spent twenty years designing the celebrations Sri Lanka remembers — and have built the workshop, the florists and the crews to deliver them without compromise.

02 — Our Philosophy

To architect environments that are as deeply personal as the couples we celebrate — blending the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka with a refined, modern aesthetic.

03 — Bespoke Floral Curation

Nothing from a catalogue

Every atmosphere is tailored, and tailoring means constraints we agree on together: your colour palette, the structural vision for the space, and honest budget parameters.

Within those we source without shortcuts — rare imported stems where the design demands them, the freshest local blooms where they will outperform anything flown in.

04 — The Ensemble

The people who make it flawless

An elite ensemble stands behind every commission. You will rarely see them — that is rather the point.

01

Master Craftsmen

The workshop team who fabricate every mandap, stage and dance floor to millimetre tolerances, then rig them overnight.

02

Lead Florists

Conditioning rare imported stems alongside the freshest local blooms, building each arrangement to the agreed palette.

03

Lighting Technicians

Programming the mood — brass lamps, suspended lanterns and washes that shift as the evening turns.

Shall we begin?

We take a limited number of commissions each season so that every celebration receives the studio's full attention.
