The salty tang in the air, the fresh breeze, and the gentle sounds of the waves crashing against the shoreline: a beach wedding is the ultimate celebration of love in nature. You open your hearts to the elements, rejoicing in the simplicity and purity of nature at its best. The vastness of the water symbolises the love held between the couple; an auspicious omen for marriage. And of course, a beach wedding promises fun in the sun and the promise of some fantastic parties! 

Something is mesmerising about having your wedding mandap on the beach itself with the open waters as a backdrop. And of course, it is an opportunity to get creative with the mandap decor! Whether you have a traditional Hindu wedding or a Sikh Anand Karaj or even a Christian ceremony with vows; a beach mandap makes for a delightful setting as you begin your journey as a married couple.

We are astounded by the creativity and ingenious of these beach mandap decors and have bookmarked these for future inspirations! Check them out.
