The mandap is the centrepiece of Indian wedding decorations, and it embodies visual grandeur and spiritual significance. At Kenza Creations, we specialise in designing bespoke mandaps that are deeply rooted in tradition and perfectly reflect the contemporary tastes of the couple.
In Indian weddings, we understand that a mandap is not just a decorative structure. It is where the sacred wedding ritual takes place. Traditionally, mandaps are designed using natural elements like flowers, wood, and fabric, adorned with colours such as red, gold, and white to signify prosperity and purity. Our Indian wedding decor specialists at Kenza Creations understand the importance of preserving cultural symbols whilst also introducing modern design elements so that they reflect the personal style of the modern couple.
Here are some of the latest trends in mandap design you can explore for your big day:
- The floral mandap – This is the most popular mandap and seen in every third Indian wedding. For this mandap, we use vibrant blooms that form the primary decorative element. The blooms include oversized floral arches and even delicate arrangements that add a natural and fresh feel to the wedding stage. The design of the floral mandap can be made unique by using seasonal blooms or eco-friendly options such as dried flowers.
- The floating mandap – The floating mandap is a popular trend seen in modern Indian weddings. Here, the structure appears to be surrounded by water or suspended, creating an ethereal, serene effect. It is perfect for destination or outdoor weddings. The structure can be paired with soft lighting to add a magical touch to your wedding celebrations.
- The geometric mandap – Geometric mandaps are perfect for couples seeking a blend of traditional and modern. These mandaps feature symmetrical, sleek shapes that give the structure a contemporary twist. We can help elevate the mandap design by incorporating metallic elements like rose gold or gold accents.
So, these are some mandap design trends that are popular in Indian wedding decorations. If you like any of them, you can discuss them with our professionals at Kenza Creations. We are also open to hearing your ideas and seeing how we can incorporate those elements into your mandap design, so your wedding decor will be remembered by your guests for a very long time.
