About Benish Shahid
Benish Shahid is an event planner and the founder and creative director of Aisha’s Wedding Decor LLC and AWD Flowers. Launched in 2016, Shahid’s journey began as a small New Jersey-based décor service built on passion, determination, and hard work. Over the past decade, that vision has grown into a respected Tri-State operation serving New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, while now providing services across the United States.

Her mission is to introduce a fresh perspective and new vision to the industry by blending cultural authenticity with modern presentation and structured execution. Through creative direction and disciplined business management, Shahid has built scalable, multi-brand enterprises that support weddings, cultural celebrations, and corporate events nationwide.

Through steady reinvestment, client trust, and consistent execution, her companies have achieved sustainable growth across changing markets.
Shahid specializes in South Asian and multicultural wedding design, mandap and cultural ceremony styling, and large-scale wedding stage and backdrop production. She also has expertise in fresh and silk floral design coordination, event concept development, custom floral installations, luxury centerpiece design, corporate event décor, budget structuring, scalable décor planning, and client-focused design personalization.
A devoted wife, mother of three, and proud grandmother of two, Shahid credits her supportive husband and family as the strength behind her journey. Their encouragement has helped her balance leadership, creativity, and family life while continuing to pursue national expansion.
Now entering her next chapter, Shahid is focused on expanding Aisha’s Wedding Decor and AWD Flowers into a nationally recognized event production brand, strengthening corporate event partnerships, opening a dedicated design studio and floral warehouse, building a structured team to support multi-state projects, developing in-house training programs, launching signature décor collections, and continuing to celebrate cultural diversity through innovative and modern wedding design.
