10 Beautiful Mandap Decoration Ideas for Your Wedding

Mandap Decoration

Want to build your career as a wedding planner

For a traditional Indian wedding, mandap is where the marriage ceremony takes place. After going around the sacred fire, exchanging garlands, and even marriage vows (in a modern context) the union or wedding is sanctified. It all happens in the mandap in the presence of your friends and family who share the joy, cast flowers on the couple, banter around and take pictures. This means that the mandap should receive equal importance as the reception, planning mehndi and sangeet, and pre-wedding shoots among several other ceremonies and venues. Do keep in mind that the mandap decoration should match with the overall décor and theme of the wedding. Given below are the 10 wedding mandap decoration ideas for your dream wedding and ‘pheras’. 

1. White Color Mandaps

Incorporate a white colour theme in your mandap decoration ideas. White mandaps whether using flowers or fine fabrics portray elegance and class. Add a dash of bright colour for day weddings and an evening wedding use a combination of luminance with different colours thrown in. For example, a beach wedding in the daytime may have a mandap made of white flowers with a trail of red roses going through it, or a mandap draped in white could have a crown of red flowers. For a night wedding, a mandap adorned with white flowers combined with classic chandeliers and green foliage will look ethereal. 

2. New Age Mandap Designs

New age wedding mandap decoration ideas include the coming together of the traditional Indian with modern ideas to create a beautiful piece of art. Erect a mandap surrounded by water. It can be an indoor one and even an outdoor lakeside one. Create a mandap made of violet drapes decorated with flowers in all shades of violet, blue and purple. The options are endless. 

3. Mandap with Foliage & Greenery

Wedding Stage Decoration

Constructing a mandap made of foliage and greenery with a generous portion of flowers thrown is quite popular in mandap decor ideas. This is usually suited for an outdoor wedding theme that incorporates the natural greenery of the surroundings with additional foliage and flowers. A combination of multi-coloured drapes and flowers combined with green leaves and shoots will make for a serene and pleasing surrounding. 

4. Rustic Mandaps

Mandap decoration ideas for weddings can include getting a rustic yet polished character to the mandap. Imagine a traditional mandap with red drapes hanging with ‘kaleeras’ and pooja bells. Or an open-air mandap with four arches made of red drapes and roses with floral chandeliers hanging just above the Vedi ( Holi Fire) designed in a rustic style. This combines a certain rustic charm with sophistication thrown in reminiscent of old country nobility. 

5. Mandaps without Canopies

Wedding Decoration

Mandaps without canopies or open-air mandaps are a rage right now for outdoor weddings. These can be used both for daytime weddings or during nighttime ‘pheras’. For a daytime wedding, it gives the feeling that the sun is the witness to your nuptials and a nighttime ceremony will be a romantic one seemingly attended by the stars and the moon. Arches and the erected walls should be covered with flowers and mandap can be on a raised podium with chairs or beautiful plush rugs with bolster long pillows as sitting arrangement.

6. Floral Themed Mandaps

Flowers are considered auspicious and offered during prayers to the deities. These are also used during any auspicious ceremonies like weddings. Wedding mandap decoration can be done predominantly with flowers as per your taste. If you are inclined towards traditional, go for marigold-themed decoration, if you are romantic at heart say hello to a mandap decorated with red roses and if you have a bohemian spirit, insist on the flowers you love.

7. Simple and Elegant Mandap Designs

If you are that person who likes subtlety and hates flashy and blingy décor then go for a simplistic yet elegant mandap design. Use pastel shades of drapes and flowers for wedding mandap decoration with a few pink roses for some colour. You can also select an open-air mandap with a two-toned mandap in serene colours like yellow and white. It will suit your style and relax the senses along with looking elegant. 

8. Traditional Mandap Designs

Mandap decoration ideas with traditional themes are the most followed ones. India is a traditional country and for auspicious ceremonies, people like to follow the traditional path. It does not mean the mandap décor will be boring. Ask for traditional wooden arches decorated with pooja lamps, bells, and yellow and red flowers. For indoor nighttime ‘pheras’ along with traditional décor, add a fine net wooden canopy with arches decorated in red and orange roses and yellow marigolds.

9. Red Themed Mandaps

Red is the colour associated with love and also the preferred choice of traditional wedding finery and ensemble. Most of the time Indian brides will be decked in red ‘jodas’ or sarees for their weddings. Mandap decoration ideas involving a red theme can be a major hit with the couple and enthusiastically embraced by the attendees. An outdoor mandap surrounded by nature with arches draped in red velvet with white and red floral arrangements will look beautiful. Seating arrangements could include wooden bedsteads with decorative patterns draped with plush carpets in a distinct colour like violet and purple to differentiate it from the red mandap.

10. Regional Themed Mandaps

Mandap decor ideas based on regional themes are a popular option whether they be destination weddings in Rajasthan or a traditional south Indian wedding. A regional themed Rajasthani wedding may include a nighttime outdoor phera ceremony with the traditional lighting of pooja lamps with bright coloured lanterns and modern lighting arrangements thrown in. It can be held in the premises of an erstwhile royal haweli or fort for an aristocratic feel with the attendants in traditional robes. A traditional south Indian wedding may include wooden arches with banana stems and traditional oil lamps adding to the surroundings. The open-air canopy could be decorated with pastel and yellow-coloured flowers with pooja bells hanging from above.  

Conclusion

So, these are some of the mandap décor ideas you can implement for a wedding. Just remember that the decoration and theme should be as per your taste and choice. A wedding is a personal commitment and a joyous moment; it should be what you want it to be.

7 Important Things to Keep in Mind Before Planning a Destination Wedding

Want to build your career as a wedding planner

Having a destination wedding will be a memorable experience for you and your friends & family but planning it takes careful consideration and deliberation. If you think and work out all the issues and challenges in advance you can enjoy it without fretting about any wedding-related matters later on. Planning the wedding will not even feel tedious to you but give the feeling of accomplishment and self-sufficiency. Let us look into some important things to check while planning a destination wedding.

1. “Plan Before, Enjoy Later”

The first and most important part of the destination wedding checklist is to search for a destination in advance unless you are eloping or planning to keep the wedding secret. Start looking for your dream destination and venues at least a full year before the wedding date. You can compare destinations and venues and get a killer bargain in return. Many hotels and resorts, if booked in advance, will give you a good deal. You can also get better options from local vendors and photographers this way. Look out for any travel warnings including political unrest or health issues in advance. You do not want to be stranded and helpless in a foreign locale instead of having the time of your life. Also, check out the usual local weather and climatic conditions at the time of your wedding. These should be favourable and mellow. Planning a winter wedding in Gulmarg, Kausani in India or Lake district in the UK is not feasible but a summer wedding will be fabulous.

2. Hire a Pro and Go with the Flow

The most important skill set that you are going to need for a wedding planner career is that you should be outgoing, have empathy, and good interpersonal skills. India is a vast country with many different cultures, religions, cuisines, and also with a diverse social background. For a wedding planner career, you need to have good knowledge about different cultures in India and be respectful towards the marriage customs and rituals which may or may not appear quaint to you. 

As we discussed earlier, you need to have a good imagination, a creative mindset, good aesthetic sense, and particularly in the case of India, a magnanimous sense of colour, class, and kitsch, which should be toned down and up depending upon the client’s preferences. Also, you need to be a good planner and organizer, have patience and good diplomatic skills to placate, convince, and not offend clients or workers alike.

3. Save the Date and Don’t Be Late

Planning a destination wedding checklist includes informing the guests well in advance. This will allow them time to make travel arrangements, organize their schedules and apply for passports and visas if the destination is overseas and take care of other matters too. The information should be detailed and include the number of days for the wedding ceremonies along with the location and logistics and travel arrangements if you are providing them. It will be good to include a map to the destination from the nearest airport, bus, or train station, whatever is applicable.

4. Plan the Guest List and Accommodation

While planning the guest list keep in mind the lodging arrangements as well. Choose lodgings and accommodation that are affordable, good, and comfortable with all the necessary amenities. It is important to include it whether preparing an Indian destination wedding checklist or an overseas one. 

5. Make Sure to Get Insured

Get fully prepared and armoured favourable with all the necessary insurance before the wedding. Get travel insurance, theft, and fire insurance, and most important of all, wedding insurance. Some venues have this as a requirement and it also protects and saves your financial expenses in case of any complications. It also provides a certain peace of mind. Do include it while planning a destination wedding checklist.

6. Check the Destinations’ Marriage Laws

This is generally applicable when planning a destination wedding overseas. The marriage laws there may require tiresome paperwork and different identity proofs like birth certificates, medical certificates, residency proof among others. Research about these in advance so you have the necessary documentation at the time. A better way is to go through a civil marriage and get the certificate and then have your planned destination wedding.

7. Secure Passports and other Paperwork

Do not forget to include this point while creating a destination wedding checklist. It is obvious that you need a valid passport and visas for overseas travel. Some countries may deny your visa application if your passport is expiring within 6 months of applying. Do the research and complete the necessary paperwork required in advance along with health certificates and get the required vaccinations.

Conclusion

If planned, a destination wedding will be what you imagined and wanted. For Indians, usually, a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a perfectly planned destination wedding will be a much talked about and a beautiful, and memorable experience for you and your loved ones.

The Importance of Soft Skills In 2021-2022 Job Market

The Importance of Soft Skills

Want to build your career as a wedding planner

Soft skills reflect your ability to work with others and develop within an organization, not just as an individual but as a team and a part of the company. In contrast, hard skills demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of a specific, measurable ability. Soft skills aid in developing relationships and resolving issues, allowing you to use your hard skills fully. With recruiters becoming smarter, soft skills are what they are looking for in 2021-2022. Before we discuss why soft skills are essential, let us understand what soft skills are, and then we can move on to why they are important.

What Are Soft Skills?

Although a universal concept of soft skills is difficult to come up with, think of them as skills that aren’t attached to a particular job; they’re general characteristics that help workers succeed in the workplace, regardless of their seniority, position, or industry. They’re also known as interpersonal skills or transferable skills.

Employees must have role-specific skills and other skills to fulfill their job duties. On the other hand, high performers typically have some additional characteristics, such as the ability to communicate clearly, function well with others, and efficiently control their time. Soft skills are talents such as these.

Importance of Soft Skills In The Workplace

AI Cannot Replace Soft Skills

While advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, and machine learning have made it possible to automate a growing number of human tasks, machines still lack emotional and social skills and higher cognitive skills such as problem-solving, logical thinking, imagination, and systematic decision making. As robots and artificial intelligence (AI) replace humans in various occupations, people with skills that technology cannot replace will continue to be in demand.

Without Soft Skills, Hard Skills Are Useless

Job seekers may have all the necessary hard skills, but if they can comprehend what the employer expects from these projects, as well as the ability to communicate with the team and motivate the team members to complete these projects; everything they create or build for the stakeholders would fall short of their expectations and not get you hired.

Maintain Your Organization

Soft skills such as attention to detail, time management, and delegation decide how structured you are at work. Being coordinated will assist you in demonstrating that you are a dependable resource that can not only do their job well but also do it on time. When you combine organization with other soft skills like communication, you can help your team create confidence because they know they can count on you to help them find the information they need. Demonstrating such skills proved to be an excellent soft skill that will get you hired! 

Longevity Is Indicated

Many employers search for signs that an employee will remain at their company long-term when recruiting for a job. If an employee demonstrates the ability to advance within an organization, the employer may not have to invest additional money in finding a replacement. Employers will see you as a long-term advantage if you have soft skills like dispute resolution, loyalty, and motivation. One of the essential measures of job longevity is your attitude toward work, and employers can use longevity to choose between two similar applicants.

Showcase Your Leadership

Emphasize soft skills on your resume to show employers that you have leadership abilities. Focusing on your soft skills demonstrates that you are aware of how your habits and attitude affect others at work, which is an essential aspect of outstanding leadership. Soft skills are more complex than technical skills and can adapt to a range of personality styles and settings, which is why employers seek them out. People with good soft skills will assess what kind of leadership techniques their team requires to succeed and then incorporate different strategies for each situation.

Teamwork Is Evaluated

If you’re applying for a team role, the hiring manager will consider your application in part based on your ability to work in a group setting. Employers use soft skills to assess teamwork and communication abilities. You must be a team player to successfully use your technical skills, regardless of how good they are. List soft skills like versatility and active listening on your resume to cater to an employer’s aim of seeking a better team member.

Demonstrate Initiative

Employers recruit and support employees who show initiative and enthusiasm daily. Employers will see that you have the ambition to think about new projects or ways to fix issues if you have a good mindset and are innovative. Soft skills will also assist you in following through with your plans, allowing you to use inspiration to transform brainstorming sessions into actionable projects. 

Examples of Soft Skills

Now you must be wondering what soft skills are, aren’t you? We are listing some of the top soft skills for 2021-22 here!

Adaptability

An attitude that is open to change. Seeing every situation as an opportunity to learn, develop, and change for the better, particularly in challenging circumstances, and putting your focus on improving yourself rather than criticizing or modifying others.

Managing Emotions

Being able to control your feelings at work (e.g., resentment, annoyance, and embarrassment) so that you can think logically and critically and behave appropriately. Instead of being reactive, you choose to answer calmly and rationally.

Stress Reduction

Being able to remain fit, calm, and balanced in the face of adversity. Knowing how to manage stress will boost your productivity, help you plan for new challenges, and improve your physical and mental health.

Perceptiveness

It is a quality that an individual possesses. Developing cognitive or emotional empathy for other people’s circumstances and experiences by paying attention to others’ unspoken signals.

With technology driving today’s world, you must adapt your skills to meet the demands and needs of the moment. The secret to success is communication. Technology must be complemented by enthusiasm, sincerity, and conviction. Machines can only do so much; humans must handle the rest. Having these soft skills will help you get hired in the 2021-2022 marketplace.
