Whether it is a dense marigold garland wrap for a traditional ceremony or full-surface floral pasting for a luxury look, I personally ensure the structure is stable and the flowers are sourced fresh on the day of your event so they stay vibrant throughout your rituals. The mandap is the heart of your wedding ceremony, and I have been setting them up since 1990. My approach varies based on your venue and the rituals you are following. ### Traditional Setups For traditional Hindu weddings, I lean on marigold and jasmine. I use dense strings to create that classic yellow and orange canopy effect. If you prefer a South Indian aesthetic, I incorporate banana leaves and traditional pillars to keep the vibe authentic. These structures are sturdy, designed to hold up even in open-air settings where wind can be a factor. ### Modern and Luxury Designs If you are planning a modern ceremony, we can move away from traditional drapes. I often use full floral pasting—where the mandap pillars are completely concealed by hydrangeas, roses, or orchids. This creates a lush, solid look that stands out in photography. For destination weddings, I use lightweight, high-quality artificial bases mixed with fresh flowers to ensure the setup looks pristine from the first ceremony to the last. ### Practical Considerations When you book a mandap, consider the lighting and the floor. A red or white carpeted base makes the floral colors pop, while proper lighting is non-negotiable for evening ceremonies. I always bring my own team of 4-6 florists to handle installation and cleanup, so you do not have to worry about the logistics at the venue. Whether you need a 10x10ft structure for a home pooja or a grand 30ft backdrop, I handle the assembly with care. ## About Shyam Flower Decorators Mera naam Shyam hai.
