Boho Mandaps are going to be the ‘it’ trend for the upcoming winter wedding and for the couples planning their weddings, these are the best inspirations!
A big fat Indian wedding needs a larger-than-life mandap and decor, right? Well, with the summer all gone and the monsoon pattering on our windows, it’s time for the floral mandaps to make way for the boho mandaps for the upcoming winter weddings.
Bohemian or boho is a chic, vintage style that combines the trends from the early 1860s and late 1970s. As opposed to the traditional conformed wedding themes, a bohemian wedding is for the free-spirited with no decided rules of wedding decor. You can experiment with colours, fabrics, accents, lighting and so much more when it comes to boho decor.
For an Indian wedding, the mandap has to be special. It is the centre of the wedding ceremony where most of your wedding moments will be photographed. Thus, to match your wedding theme and have great photographs that you can look back to, mandap decor should be a focus of your wedding planning. If you have been thinking of adorning your mandap with flowers, drapes, rustic accents and lots of pampas grass, Wedding Affair has compiled a list of the best boho mandaps for your winter wedding.
Floral Boho Mandaps
If you think winter weddings can not have floral arrangements, think again. In pastel or bold colour palettes, you can decorate your boho mandaps with wreaths of colourful flowers and garlands all around them. You can also take inspiration from the winter forests and add a lot of green and brown branches all over the pillars to make them look even more natural and beautiful.
Rustic Boho Mandaps
Wooden and rustic elements can be the perfect additions to your quintessential boho mandaps. With rustic feather accents and fringe adornments placed alongside vintage aesthetic furniture like chairs, sofas and lamps, your wedding mandap will be giving off the perfect rustic boho vibe!

Tropical Boho Mandaps
Green is the colour of the winter and you can choose to add a piece of your dream tropical destination to your boho mandap. Imagine getting married under a mandap decorated with a wide array of colourful blooming flowers, green leaves and ferns all wrapped around the top and pillars. Ethereal, right? To make it even more dreamy, the perfect addition would be layers of drapes on all sides to make it even more aesthetic.
Macrame Boho Mandaps
Macrame art is a symbol of bohemian decor and your boho mandap should definitely feature macrame hangings and lighting to give off the boho chic vibe. With circular macrame hangings all over and threads of it dropping around the pillars and the roof a cosy yet edgy decor will be ready for your wedding. If you are a crochet lover like me, definitely go for hanging crocheted drapes or lanterns as well.
Pampas Grass
Artificial or real, pampas grass is a huge part of bohemian weddings and a favourite of the beige or nude lovers. With their unique beige colour and feathery texture they add a rustic and vintage feel to your boho mandap. While decorators usually include them as a part of the wedding decor, you can also choose to make them the highlight of your mandap decor. Many experimental couples have chosen to use pampas grass for the roof of their mandap, along the aisle, at the corners of the mandap and in vases across their wedding venue.
