How to Choose the Perfect Mandap Design

Floral, minimal, or regal?

Your mandap sets the stage for one of the most sacred moments of your wedding. Choosing the right design is about more than aesthetics—it’s about honoring tradition while reflecting your unique love story.

Visual Inspiration by Style

• Floral Mandaps: Adorned with marigolds, roses, or orchids, these bring freshness and romance. Perfect for outdoor venues and spring/summer weddings.

• Minimal Mandaps: Sleek structures with sheer draping and soft lighting suit modern couples and contemporary settings.

• Regal Mandaps: Think gold pillars, ornate carvings, and luxurious fabrics—ideal for grand ballrooms or heritage locations.

Materials & Colors
Choose materials that align with your venue and climate. For beach weddings, lighter fabrics and breezy canopies are ideal. For indoor ceremonies, structured wood or metallic frames with lush drapery add elegance.

Opt for colors that tie into your overall wedding palette. Bold jewel tones like magenta, emerald, or royal blue offer a traditional feel, while creams, blush, and pastels feel softer and more modern.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Overcrowding the mandap space with too many décor elements

• Choosing a style that clashes with the venue

• Ignoring lighting—especially if the ceremony is at dusk or indoors

Seasonal Tips
In hotter months, incorporate natural shading and breathable fabrics. For winter weddings, use velvet, richer colors, and add warm lighting to create a cozy, regal feel.

Your mandap is the heart of your ceremony—let it reflect the traditions you cherish and the future you're building together.
