Mandap decoration with a floral extravaganza

Decorating your mandap with lots of vibrant and beautiful flowers is always a good idea. If you are having an indoor wedding, you can set up a dome with overhead floral danglers or floral chandeliers. You can also have suspended flower ornaments from the ceiling of the dome. The pillars can be wrapped with gorgeous flowers. Red roses adorning a mandap is a classic decoration, but if you want something unique, you can choose lilac flowers or a white and yellow theme.

If you are conscious of your environment, you can settle for minimal floral decoration or make use of flowers that are locally available in abundance. Also, the structure of your mandap can be made with bamboo. You can also use banana leaves.

Drapes canopy for an outdoor wedding

If you are having an outdoor wedding, your mandap can be colourful draped canopy-like structures. You can even get a gazebo. Make use of colourful pieces of cloth to drape the entire structure so that it looks bright and stunning. You can add a bit of floral arrangements to give the mandap an aesthetic, elegant appeal.

However, it looks the best in an outdoor wedding as the dome represents the ceiling and against the backdrop of the blue sky and lush green, it would be a total standout. So, the mandap can have a dome made out of colourful flowers and also it can feature drape ceiling with a beautiful chandelier. The colour theme can be chosen as per the colour of your outfits. The mandap can be set up at an elevated ground so that you are the focus.
