   However there are certain things that get more importance than other during preparation like deciding on the venue for event, stage and wedding mandap decoration, wedding car hire and deciding on traditional food. Out of these all Indian wedding mandap decoration is one of the crucial thing as it the center of all activities and a sacred place according to traditional belief. Traditionally the mandaps or wedding canopies were only used for the wedding rituals, however these days many people use it for pre wedding functions like mehandi and sangeet also. 




   The following are the crucial factors that play an important role while deciding on mandaps:

1. Size of the wedding mandap : There are two elements that decide the size of the mandap; numbers of guest invited and the overall size of wedding marquees. Bigger function with more numbers of invited people requires larger mandap and also to be at some height from the ground level to be visible for all.

They are also decorated in different colors, most of the time bright colors are chosen to make event more auspicious. The most preferred color combination for this is bright yellow and red. While other preferred colors for wedding decoration are white, silver and gold. Modern day color also includes blue, orange, pink and other vibrant shades.
