                                                    A bit of whimsy and tons of passion ...

 I hit upon a lovely article ... it sort of spoke what I feel ... in terms of entertaining ... yes, I am not the tissue paper, plastic ware and disposable thingie's kind of a person ... and many of us have loads of reason why we love it that way ... a passionate dislike for plastic being quite there on the top of the list ...

 ... aaaaanyways ... I really wanted to share it with many of my like minded readers ... but then me being me ... I like to share my own images ... so a quick dig into my archives and here pop a few shots from a shoot at a project of mine.

How To Host A Magazine- Worthy Dinner Party. ... ;)... be Inspired.

The tablesetting at Dining by Design, pavillion ... India Design 2014 ... :)

A lot of you wrote to me asking about the details of the table setting I created in the Dining by Design pavilion at the India Design 2014, for  Pepperfry.com. Since the stall was for introducing pepperfry's own furniture label - Mudra ... the accents at the dining table were only to accentuate the setting and so I sourced them from diff. sources ...

 

 For all of you who were looking to know more about what came from where ... I'll list the entire item wise source at the bottom of this post...

using greens is an undeniable ...irresistible itch with me ... :) once I start with the greens ... things just seem to fall into place.

 

 the fern leaves that most florists use as fillers are in fact my absolute fav. greens ... I created the entire centre arrangement on a bed of these ferns ... :) ... now that is my kind of fun. Top that with white alyssum and blush pink oriental lilies.

 

The pendant lights hanging above the dining table are Zara (copper) from pepperfry.com ... as for the rest of the table accents here goes ...
