How important is your wedding decor?
While you may not want to spend most of your budget on the decor, it IS what creates the ambience on your big day. And your mandap? Well, you’re going to go from “single” to “married” in the vedi so it IS significant. And a beautiful mandap design will create a stunning setting for wedding photos!
The mandap decoration will have to, of course, be in line with your overall decor theme. But you can look for styles, shapes and elements that will make it special to you.
Browse through 60+ gorgeous mandap designs we’ve found from Real Weddings and share your favourites with your decorator!
These days, the all-white mandap is picked by every couple who wants to keep it elegant. Some like to add a dash of red to have a beautiful contrast at day weddings, while the night wedding sees a lot of creams & golds. White floral arches or white floral domes are some of the other stunning options to pick from.
