When you zero-in your wedding venue, the next pivotal thing you have to focus on is getting the mandap right. Now, this is not something that works like magic and there are a variety of factors that revolve around it- the location (indoor or outdoor), the setting (beach, countryside, resort, etc), the colour scheme, the theme of the overall decor, the placement of the mandap, etc.
Next, you need to look at the finer things. For example, if it is a beach wedding it’s best to go in for a floral or rustic mandap, rather than something too jazzy or blingy! Also, if you are planning on having a pastel-themed decor, while your mandap is voluminous and blood-red, it may not do the trick. Moreover, you cannot simply ignore the mandap as a decor element as it is going to be the centre of all attention (literally) on the D-day!
While brainstorming for mandap decoration ideas, you may have come across that there are a plethora of mandaps you can choose from to up the ante at your special occasion- from shimmery ones with mirrors to dome-shaped regal ones, and rustic ones floating on water to floral ones.
Keeping all this in mind, I have brought to you a mix of opulent, eclectic, and designs that will leave your guest list stunned! If you are scouting for ideas for Indian wedding stage decor, you might want to bookmark these for sure:
