Wedding Mandap Designs and Ideas – Wedamor
One of the most significant and much-photographed moments of a traditional Indian wedding is the pheras ritual. This ritual takes place around a holy fire, with the nearest and dearest ones sitting across or alongside the couple. Thus, there is little wonder as to why the mandap – the venue for this auspicious custom – has become a major focal point in weddings today. The mandap is the centre of attraction of the wedding and much thought goes into how it can be designed.

A Canopy of Roses
This mandap brings to the setting the essence of romance with its profusion of roses. An elaborate arrangement of roses is put up on the canopy of the mandap. To add to the glamour of the roses, and bring a little shine to the red, tiny mirrors can be arranged, scattered in the canopy. Flowers arranged around the pillars, which can either camouflafe with or create a contrast to the canoopy, and festooned from the ceiling alongside dangling gold streamers, garlands and latkans make a splendid view.

Burst of Yellow
A sunny wedding mandap unusual yellow tent-like canopy that is festooned with floral arrangements can be just right for an outdoor wedding, most-probably one by the beach. One may add the orange of marigolds around its pillars to add a further pop of colour that contrasts beautifully with the azure sea and skies.

Circular Beauty
This circular mandap is resplendent with deep red roses strung all around the roof. Skilfully lit up at night, this mandap also featured golden accents and billowing white drapes that looked heavenly against darkening skies. I, it also looks good for an indoor wedding when set against a white backdrop.

Floral Fantasy
This mandap studded with exotic reds, pinks and little bursts of yellow can turn any setting vibrant. To add to the vibrance of the flowers, the pillars can be draped in bright colours of orange or a deeper shade of pink. This ensures that it is not vibrant while still being the centre of attraction. Adding a touvh of white would not a bad idea either.
