Magical Wedding Mandaps and Ceremony Spaces
We design sacred ceremony spaces that reflect your unique story, from traditional oonjal setups by the lake to modern floral mandaps.
A dream setting for a dream wedding. This modern mantap features a ceiling of white florals, accented with hanging crystals and chandeliers, all set against a serene lakeside view at sunset.
An open mantap right out of your dreams. For this outdoor ceremony, we created a lush structure entwined with greenery and vibrant red roses, perfectly framed by the venue's palm trees.
We love incorporating cultural traditions, like this beautiful oonjal (ceremonial swing) for a South Indian wedding. We found the perfect lakeside spot and decorated the swing with delicate jasmine garlands.
We can transform any space. Here, we took a pre-existing gazebo at the venue and enhanced it with elegant floral work, including spiraling garlands on the pillars and traditional hangings, creating a beautiful ceremony spot.
From the start of the shaadi to the final bidaai, we are there to ensure every moment is perfect. This beautifully lit night-time mantap shows how we create a magical ambiance for evening ceremonies.
The beauty is in the details. This close-up shows the stunning effect of hanging floral garlands made of jasmine and pink carnations, which added color and fragrance to the wedding ceremony space.
A wedding mantap designed to melt your heart. This view from inside the structure shows the intricate detail of the hanging floral chandeliers and the beautiful canopy of greenery above.
A few cherished moments from a wedding day. This shows the journey from the simple marigold decorations at the entrance to the beautifully prepared mandap, ready for the couple's ceremony.
We have created countless mandap and stage designs, each one unique to the couple's vision. This collage showcases a variety of styles, from grand floral structures to elegant, minimalist backdrops.

About Magical Mandaps & Ceremony Spaces
When we design a mandap, we treat it as the heart of your ceremony, not just a stage. If you have chosen a beautiful venue, like a lakeside lawn or a garden, we focus on designs that frame the view rather than obscure it. We balance your cultural requirements—like a specific height for an oonjal or traditional floral garlands—with the practical reality of lighting to ensure your ceremony photos look perfect.
The mandap is where the most significant promises of your wedding take place. Because of that, our approach to ceremony spaces is highly personal. Whether you want a traditional aesthetic with marigolds and jasmine or a minimalist modern structure that fits into a contemporary resort setting, we start by mapping the space to your vision.
Our Design Approach
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all. A South Indian wedding requiring a classic oonjal swing needs a completely different structural approach than an evening pheras ceremony where lighting and hanging florals are the focus. We work with the natural layout of your chosen venue, ensuring that the mandap enhances the surroundings rather than fighting against them.
Practical Considerations
Planning an outdoor mandap involves more than just aesthetics. We account for:
- Weather and Light: We position the mandap to maximize natural light for day ceremonies or coordinate the artificial lighting for evening events to ensure there are no harsh shadows on the couple.
- Structural Integrity: For beach or lakeside setups, we ensure the base is stable and the structures can withstand the breeze without compromising the look.
- Flow and Comfort: We design with your priest and family in mind, ensuring there is enough space for the rituals to happen comfortably, with clear sightlines for your guests.
From the initial mood board to the final placement of the last flower, we take care of the heavy lifting. You simply show up, share your vows, and enjoy the start of your journey together.
