An unusual table setting that’s perfect for two or more

Everything To Get This Look:

1.    Start with a rug/dhurrie or just a chatai (an Indian mat).

2.    Add a layer of lovely lotus leaves. It will form a good base of fresh green. Everything you place on this will pop.

3.    For floral arrangements, you don’t necessarily need vases, you can also use jugs, a lota, steel pots, baskets, or bowls.

4.    There is a variety of local flowers and leaves that are both economical and gorgeous: Sevantis (a type of                                        chrysanthemum), sunflowers, tuberose, eucalyptus leaves and many more.

5.    We’ve have played with shades of pink and green for this setting. The magenta sevanti, the velvety ones (locally                      called kombda) and lotus are a beautiful contrast to the lotus leaves.

6.    A roll of paan leaves are used as a vase for the anthurium to stand tall.

7.    Mixing fruits into a bouquet of flowers helps break the monotony and creates a playful setting.

8.    To complete the experience, find a way to incorporate some jasmine in the setting to please your olfactory senses.

9.    The white supari strands coming out of the beautifully carved box add a delicate unusual bit of romance.

10.    Light a few candles, throw down a few pillows, and you have a warm, cosy, and easy-elegant setting. Enjoy!
